I was a bit skeptical going into this movie, and while there may have been a couple of bright spots, not enough to save this cluttered mess. Unlike Daredevil, where Affleck could be easily to blame for the lackluster movie, this one has to to fall completely on Snyder. Terrible at handling human emotions while delivering something that at least is visually entertaining.

Snyder's direction here feels like the scope of this movie was a bit too much for him to handle or like he just plainly didn't care. There is way too much going without the unnecessary dream sequences, which there were too many of, including yet another reminder of Batman's origin story, which we get twice in the movie only to remind us that Martha is the name of Bruce's mom.

That may seem like nitpicking, but in a movie this poorly crafted it's easy to see just about everything wrong with it. Plainly, a movie titled Batman v Superman barely even delivers on that one simple promise, giving us instead a very weak and uninspired plot that is so full of holes that even the titular battle is mishandled.

Even the way they handled the teases to other Justice League characters felt more like amateur & deliberate product placement rather than clever glimpses of what's to come.

Very disappointing, save your money if you haven't seen it yet!
