Honestly Snyder should've just done a frame by frame film of one of the GREAT batman graphic novels (i'm not into comics but I have read a couple of the graphic novels) just like he did with Watchmen, because I love Snyder's watchmen film.

I think in my mind I hated it even more because it could've been so great, Snyder totally nailed the visual aspects. I hated Eisenberg and the writing and story was lacking.
I will admit that I'm in the minority in that I like Eisenberg as Lex, again I can understand why people hated him but I see what they were trying to do with the character. My problem was with Snyder in that he provided no real explanation for the character motivation. Yeah he was a narcissistic, neurotic, psychopath with an inferiority complex towards superman but the why was never explained? and what the fukk did that last scene with the bell has rung mean in the grand scheme of thing

Daddy issues. He's the son of the original Lex - Alexander Luthor, Jr. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. - or at least that's my take on it. His pops made him obsessed with power and he didn't like that Supes was powerful AND loved. His pops was powerful and terrible so he was pushing that shyt on to Supes. Just like how Degrasse-Tyson was explaining in that interview on TV. Everyone was pushing themselves onto Supes and Lex's version of that manifested into this version of his dad that he had to kill or corrupt

At first, I couldn't fukking stand this version of Bats, but by the end of the movie it made sense. This was the fukked up jaded version that Joker always wanted Bats to turn into.

They dropped hints of Darkseid throughout the movie and the bells rung was for him. He said he was coming from the Stars. I think Lex was having the same dreams that Bruce was having just on the other side of it. During Bruce's dream in the desert Darkseid's Omega symbol was placed in the dirt. The guy reaching out through the boomtube was either Mister Miracle OR Orion from the New Gods (This is from memory so I might be wrong).

I'm quite sure this is one of those movies that people will rewatch, or explanations of things they left to the imagination will come out, and then people will LOVE it. I legitimately don't understand what people hated about this movie by the end of it. It was magnificent to me.

Again that's a lot to expect out of the audience especially if they do not read comics. They needed to flesh out these character more than a 2h 45mn movie ever could

I can't really argue against that point, but I like movies that don't just lay everything out on a platter. The American movie goer has gotten crazy simplistic and I think that's why so many people "hated" it, but if you're paying attention the story is amazing. The storytelling component of the movie isn't lacking at all. I bet most people zoned out when those TV interviews popped up because the main characters weren't on the screen, but I was listening. It provided insight into what the people of that world were thinking and what Lex's motivation might be.

It even low key addressed how silly it is that these "heroes" are entirely unknown to everyone. Lex knew Bruce was Bats for years and prodded at him. Lex knew Clark was Supes for years too and waited until he has pawns he could use against him. They thought they had everyone fooled with their secret caves and glasses, but if you pay attention it wouldn't be hard to figure out. Supes ALWAYS came for Lois. Bats would need an insane amount of resources only available to a small group of folks.

Honestly, I liked it better than anything Nolan ever did and that's not just from me reading comics. That's from me paying attention to the movie. I knew it was Lex Jr from the comics, but everything else came from the movie.

:what: The characterization of Batman is one of the worst parts of this film.
one of the narratives coming out of this disaster is "well at least affleck was good..." and i have to be honest i have absolutely no idea where those people are coming from. he was terrible imo. yea the suit is great but anyone could have looked like batman in that suit. so who gets the credit... ben affleck's jaw? they even had to make his voice sound extra scary because i guess he couldn't do so himself.

they all praised christian bale too until time passed and the novelty of "new batman" wore off and everyone realized he was terrible. the same will happen with affleck, eventually they will turn on him. he's too ben affleck.

plus the fact that his character was god awful doesn't help either.
