The scene where Lex reveals his plans to Superman is a perfect example of this he sets it all up for the two to finally fight and the scene cuts to Wonder Woman watching the Justice League videos on her laptop which completely killed the momentum.

REP...... QFT.....
His portrayal as Lex was a hot mess....Wasn't intimidating businesslike at all, too jokey & schizo for my tastes...
eh more or less, I enjoyed the action scenes

. And even in costume all the way up till they finally threw a punch.
I think the only thing that really ruins the movies for me is they not doing a good job making me feel empathetic to any of the heroes. Like its crazy how the 2 competing companies are complete opposites with they problems, thus far DC is struggling with they heroes. Even in the Nolan movies, the title character was an afterthought and the main hero shouldnt be getting outshined in they own movie.
BvS they never really built anyone up for you to really care for them... dont get me wrong, some of the action was dope, but it was like for the most part out of costume you cant help but feel
When Superman died, I feel like you shouldve felt something, a sadness, a shock, or some type of emotional connection. (sticking with the them of DC and not pulling the comp card) I felt more empathy toward Flash dad when he got murked on the TV show or everyone Ollie has lost (and they side characters on a small scale tv show, mind you) than I did when Sup died in BvS. I was just kinda like
and
They going forward gotta do a better job of making they heroes matter.... Same for SS, even though they villains, for what its worth of "that" story they was supposed to be your protagonist. And again in the last act I felt nothing toward any of them. That movie couldve actually lived up to they name sake and all them couldve went out like Rogue One and it wouldve made me no nevermind.
And its not like I was resisting or trying not to like them.... but just no one pulled me in (per say)
) and his "boss battle" was actually a giant piece of rock (no really..... stay with me)
Oh wow... you missed SR?
Ok just to break it down.... I guess in an era where guys are throwing fist... I think 2 things dramatically pissed or turned some people off;
1- He didnt have a villain per say to fight (ok yes, Lex was in the movie, but Superman not once got physical or threw a punch at anyone... though he did get beat up close to the end of the movie.... like on some night club getting jumped in the club shyt by some bouncers....was even in a choke hold and drug across the room like some bouncers dragging a deplorable off the dancefloor and to the backdoor
2- It was revealed that he was a father... basically had a secret love child with Lois and people at the time HATED that.
But I think the pros was it did actually show SUPERMAN do SUPERMAN things, he's interactions with Lois did actually feel like they had chemistry (unlike Cavill and his Lois), Kevin Spacey was actually a VERY good Lex (menacing, plotting, calculating), Metropolis actually felt part of the movie, and B Routhe actually played his roles very well.
wait so the flick was just a day in the life with Superman with no boss or battles?
Yeah I've seen the ultimate cut it is better than the theatrical but man a three hour run time is ridiculous. I like many aspects of BVS and see how they tried to deconstruct the two heroes and use Superman as a beacon to turn Batman back into his normal self. But the movie had poor execution like the Martha scene the idea of it is good but he just says Martha and Lois lane comes out of nowhere to tell him that's his mother. Instead they should have had Superman on his dying legs inspire Batman with a speech like Superman would do the unrated cut shows how Clark Kent went searching for information on Batman and before the fight started he said his name. He should've talked about how his parents wouldn't want him to be this way etc, etc your better than this, rise above it and then tell him Lex's plan. That way you get the inspiration Superman is to Batman before he even dies from Doomsday and it's a point where we see this Superman become the one from the comics.
And then I heard they cut out am important scene that literally impacts the whole movie. When they had the African lady testifying against Superman they cut out the scene showing she got paid to lie, which literally changes the whole context of them trying to judge Superman and him actually being innocent opposed to just causing destruction.
