The reviews are horrible. This was a way better movie than I was expecting. Went to the afternoon show and it was packed. Lots of fanboys but also many other types from couples to moms.

My opinion is similar to others. Didn't hate the Lex but it just felt it didn't fit or maybe I'm use to a different Lex. Same with Affleck. He wasn't bad but I think they could have done better with casting Batman.

The pacing and the movie dragged at times. The fight scenes were awesome. Definitely would recommend the movie to the non-fanboy. It's a good popcorn movie.

Audience score at Rotten Tomatoes is 74%, which is a heck of a lot better than 30% for critics and gives me hope. Seeing it Easter evening.

Marvel does a much better job IMO. I even thought Age of Ultron was better than this.

Seems like they just tried to jam everything in there. Maybe it's because they're the 2 biggest known iconic superheros of our time and their stories are already well known and this is a movie they should have done a long time ago. But it just seems like they threw all of it together with little substance.

I generously give it 3 out of 5 stars. I think it's hilarious this movie needs to make $800M just to break even.

no way in hell is Age of ultron better than this. NO WAY IN HELL lol. There's so many layers to this movie that it's hard to grasp. Just from the story itself.. way more interesting than run of the mill AoU. It was just a totally different type of comic book film and i appreciate it from that aspect. A LOT was going on. On first viewing, i give it a 8.3/10

This movie is good. Way better than the reviews. I'm no fanboy but do like the Superhero movies. My wife doesn't care for them. She even liked the movie. Thought it had a better story than most of them.

‘Batman V. Superman’ Promotion Urges Filmgoers To Just Get This Over With

LOS ANGELES—Promising that it would be best to just buy a ticket and take care of the unpleasantness right away, a new Batman V. Superman: Dawn Of Justice promotional campaign launched this week reportedly urged filmgoers to simply get this whole thing over with. “Listen, you all knew this day was coming, so just go sit your ass in the theater, stare up at the IMAX screen for a couple hours, and be done with this shit once and for all,” said Warner Brothers marketing strategist Elizabeth Harris, who encouraged fans to make plans with friends right now so they could all bite the ****ing bullet over opening weekend. “You know you can’t put this off forever, so just suck it up and plow through this thing as quickly as possible. Listen, you’re going to have to pay the piper now or at some point down the road on a commercial flight or during a broadcast on TNT, so you might as well just pony up the extra 10 bucks for 3D and never think about it again.” At press time, Warner Brothers had reportedly kicked off a last-minute Batman V. Superman media blitz in major markets advising audiences to just bend over and take it like a champ.

Eh. Guardians and Winter Soldier were different kinds of comic book movies. Being a Space Opera and Political Thriller respectively. Deadpool as well as being a parody of the Superhero genre rather than a superhero comedy.

Saw it last night. I am a Huge Superman and Batman fan. I would not waste my time watching it again. I give it a 4/10, The first hour of the movie is so boring, I had to sit in anguish waiting for the movie to pick up steam. It finally did but way too late. The constant storyline switching is just sloppy as hell, and a bit confusing. The Actors were fine, and I even give Eisenberg props as I take it as he is supposed to be Lex jr. not Lex Sr. All in all the shittiness is on how the storyline is laid out not the Actors themselves.

Kinda Bummed on this film

Honestly, the disparity between audience and critics is sort of laughable.

I think this is a movie where a critic like Ebert would "get it". He understood that film isn't just an arthouse exercise, and I love the hell out of obscure art films and independent cinema.

Stop trying to square peg a movie for something it was never trying to be.

It's an enjoyable movie with plenty of flaws, and spend 10 minutes watching a few Honest Trailers, and you can see EVERY film has flaws. Life itself is full of flaws and lapses in logic, otherwise the world would be virtually perfect and we'd all have our shit together. But it's not, and we're not, because man is flawed and our stories reflect those lapses.

There's a difference between being a critic and being hypercritical .

The feedback on here is a lot more genuine than the "reviews".

IDK why, but there's part of me that sees the clip below and actually feels bad for Affleck. He'll get over it, I'm sure, but the look on his face is genuine, and you either revel in knocking someone down a peg, or you can empathize with other people - even if it is trivial in the grand scheme of things.

In on record as liking the film but a couple of things weren't explained very well.

I guess the camera guy/CIA guy at the beginning was Jimmy Olson?

Robin had already died? Batman passes by his costume in the batcave

Eisenberg was Lex Jr.? Was this explained?

No it wasn't really explained at all. Except for the fact that he kept referring to his father throughout the film. My take is he inherited his hatred for Superman from his father.
