As others have pointed out, my standards may not same as everyone else's
. I just appreciate things according to a different standard than a lot of people. IE: I felt like Deadpool's Weapon-X origin was badly done and a wasted opportunity. I feel like S2 of Daredevil has a substandard representation of the characters (Matt, Elektra, and Punisher) and clumsy TV dialogue.
I think this film represented the characters much better than I expected. Batman is definitely a little older and I excused his behavior as simply being weathered and a little more psychopathic. You all saw in the trailer that this is post "Jason Todd" if you know what I mean. He even has a line where he says something to the effect of good guys don't stay that way forever and he's plagued with lunatic nightmares throughout...one of which actually feels like a DC "Crisis on Infinite Earths" style comic plot.
The plot and leaps of logic may not make sense at times but the dialogue is fast paced and sharp and doesn't linger long enough to be bad. I sense there was a missed opportunity to have the Batman vs Superman fight be actually be about something...something substantial; ideological, about their ideas of what justice should be, etc... but it turns into Batman going mad from all the carnage in the previous year and losing the control he's fought so hard to get his entire life - and Superman fighting because of a comic book cliche reason.
The first trailer did reveal everything but I won't say how.
FYI, I stuck around for a post-credits scene but did not see one.
