The writing is the only major flaw, but I cannot begrudge this movie its sense of spectacle.

Rating: 7/10 (29 March 2016)

Most of the criticism against Dawn of Justice is founded and perfectly justifiable, but at NO POINT DURING the movie was I bored. To the contrary, I leaned forward multiple times, engrossed as I could possibly be. The sound and visuals are flawless. Even the dialogue is serviceable. But the plot is...well, I can't find a tactful, non-cliché term for 'garbage' at the moment. Cinematic refuse? Just be prepared to suspend your disbelief in every other scene.
Moving forward: keep Ben Affleck (or ask Bale if he's doing anything in the next year or so), remove Zack Snyder, replace with Christopher Nolan. I don't care how much Nolan wants, just pay him. With his name on the board, we can safely hand-wave any potential roadblocks the upcoming Justice League movie may have.
