Yes, I know, it's subway and their meat tastes like Dollar General's finest Alpo, but for whatever reason, I have always had a weakness for their Tuna. As much as I love Tuna, however, it on top of cheesecake is a bit excessive and out of place, so naturally I say, "whoa, Zack, the cheesecake was fine as it was."

However, Zack, being the most self-indulgent, overrated style-of-substance chef in the business, says "lemme do ya one better" and puts a pie of Wendy's Chili over my tuna-cheesecake sandwich.

Anyways, you get the picture. Somewhere in this movie, underneath the gratuitous flashbacks and over the top effects, existed an origin story that was among the best comic book stories ever created. But Zack went for too much, he went to the all you can eat buffet and tried to eat everything, and it resulted in a chaotic, disoriented mess that was void of secondary character development or a hint of true emotion from the main character. It was a decent watch, sure, but the movie could have been much, much more.

TL;DR: Zack Snyder doesn't know how to tell a coherent story.

This post is awesome. Seriously awesome.

And coupled with this:

In the Batman series, the destruction had impact. In MoS it was hollow. After the catastrophe he's like "I guess I'll become a reporter now!" Not a second thought was given to the likely millions dead. Sure it'll probably be all over the place in the sequel, but in this movie, it made Superman seem cold. More alien than human, which is a weird place to start the series.

... Is pretty much how I feel overall about MoS.
