First off, I'm a huge superhero fan. With the exception of a few movies, I love all of them. Without spoiling the details of the movie, I'll give a basic review.
For me, I give it 3 out of 5 stars.
Overall, the movie was good, but not epic like it should have been. Lots of wasted time with character development and Lois Lane being saved like 3 or 4 times, but I think Lois being saved so much might be intentional to lead up to something else in Justice League.
I didn't think we needed to revisit Bruce Wayne's parents being killed. We know the story, we've seen, move on.
Lex Luthor's role wasn't cast correctly in my opinion. Yes this is supposed to be the younger version of Lex, but Eisenberg just came off goofy and looney.
The action scenes were great, but the problem was there wasn't enough of Batman and Superman fighting. Their fight scene was probably 5 total minutes. The the final battle lasted about 10 or 15. I think if you take the same movie and just add more fight scenes here and there, you have a great movie.
It was almost like they tried to develop both Batman and Superman too much in one movie and then rushed the battle scenes. The Avengers were able to fit several major characters in one movie and pull it off nice. They did right.
Of course you're going to have your comic book fans that will bitch about how the movie is different than comics. Get over it, it's a movie not a comic.
So I liked the movie because I'm a fan, but I think they missed the mark. They had a huge opportunity to blow all Marvel movies out of the water by a long shot, but failed to produce the action packed battle that everyone was expecting.
Now, instead, Captain America Civil War will meet those expectations and Batman V Superman will be forgotten.
