Good movie, great characters, comic-book sequence of scenes, story could've been better. {Spoiler free}

Rating: 8/10 (25 March 2016)

First of all, the short way to put this is that you should ignore the critics and go watch this movie, it IS entertaining in its own way and saying that it was dull or a disaster is just plain bias.
Long story: it is a great movie which was overdone by Zack Snyder, I believe had it come out much earlier prior to half the trailers and TV spots that were released and too much hype building, it could've been a major success.
Let's start with how it is flawed, I think Zack wanted to pull a Watchmen -one of my favorites of all time- tone of storytelling on this one, and it didn't work very well with Batman v Superman, the sequence of the scenes is a mess and you'll find yourself allover the place and might find it hard to comprehend all of it at once. The comic references are way too harsh on the audience who are not comic book readers and they find themselves lost during most of those references and this is where Marvel prevails. The movie should have focused more on itself than setting up future ones.
The movie succeeds to introduce a Batman we've always wanted to see, the TDKR Batman that is gritty, brutal, quite cynical and not reluctant to do things that we wouldn't see Batman doing often. Ben Affleck brings it and he's really good as both Bruce and Bats.
Superman gets a little less focus than he should've taking in consideration that this is a MoS sequel and his role in the 3rd act of the movie, yet you get the struggle he's going through and it's quite realistic for the character.
Wonderwoman delivers as a very interesting addition to the story and her fight scenes are great.
Lois Lane seems kinda forced with her scenes and could've been not in the movie and it'd have been pretty much the same, and her contradicting actions are not needed so it was a little annoying spending screen time on her.
Lex Luthor is a whole new take that you probably have never seen from the character, I can understand why some hate him for being something that the Lex they're waiting for completely isn't, yet if you're open to new takes on characters and willing to accept that he's not your normal comic book Lex, then he was okay, annoying some times yet still okay.
FIGHT NIGHT! the fight scene was one of the best things about this movie, some say it was one-sided yet I believe it showed a reasonable contribution from both Bats and Supes regarding the situation, and the best thing about it is that they were brave enough to have someone win the fight and not wuss out and just let them both sleep on it and it's just over. Yes you heard that right we have a WINNER!
Finally, to be honest I expected better, yet calling it a comic book nightmare or a fail or a complete disaster is NOT true, if you're thinking about going to see this movie you should, you'll enjoy it a lot yet not as much as you expected if your hype has been building up for 3 years like all of us as comic book fans.
