With all the hate Affleck had over the role of Bruce Wayne, his acting was probably the best of them all.
I wish they did more into Wonder Women's role in the story a little bit more.
This movie was long enough. DC is going about this all wrong because they want to replicate Marvel's incredible financial success from the MCU. Marvel took the actual time to give each of their characters either their own movie (or more than one) and introduce each one, then make an Avengers movie.
DC made Man of Steel and then bam, Batman vs Superman, with a brand new Batman. No introduction before hand we are just going to cram it into this movie and go with the fact that everyone already knows who Batman is. What they should have done is make a standalone Batman movie before this one, and possibly a Wonder Woman movie (could have introduced her in Batman), then make this movie.
That was the other thing. It seemed like they were cramming the stories of several different DC universe versions into one movie.
Growing up, the "Death and return of Superman" was it's own thing, separate from the Justice League stories. The Flash has his own TV series, as does Green Arrow. There was a terrible, but entertaining Green Lantern Movie (which leads into a second possible movie that happens before the Justice League). There was supposed to be a Wonder Woman series, but I think that got kiboshed. Outside of a few separate instances, no one really knows much about Cyborg, or who he is, much less how he came about.

Or better yet, made a Wonder Woman movie and used the whole "I know who you are" concept that was played in the Batman v. Superman movie. You know, get the setup going.
Now I'm afraid that they are going to release Justice League before they dished out the main hero movies associated with the Justice League.
Well i guess the plan is, first release Suicide Squad, which Batman will be appearing in, then make a Batman movie, a Wonder Woman movie, an Aquaman movie, and I dont know whats next. I don't know what DC is doing, tbh. Other than making really bad casting choices.

I don't even think DC knows what they're doing at this point.
Man of Steel was a really nicely done movie, and they kind of ruined the whole thing with Batman vs. Superman.
Affleck has potential as Batman, and Gal Gadot looked pretty good as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman. But there wasn't a lot of screen time to see any real development/connection to the DC universe, aside from the WW costume.
Bats: movie would have been ***without him. Alec did a great job portraying a Frank Miller Batman.
Supes: same artist reprising his role, ok job. not enough of clumsy Clark Kent, which could have used a bit more air time, then again, he does bang Lois offscreen. he did seem a bit unsure of himself and understandable since he had all that pressure of the previous movie, and still felt defeated by popping Zod's neck.
Wonderwoman: needed more air time. final scene felt too forced on her. quite enjoyed seeing her fight tho.
Lex: a bit young for my taste. smart, eccentric, obsessed on the man of steel,
yes, he had hair, Luthor had hair at one point, but due to a disease or something, cant remember, he lost his perfect long hair. and while they didn't capture the evil genius villain version of him, could say this was his origin story on how he comes to be, since the obsession for superman is what drove him there.
his voice was a bit annoying at times, and preppy attitude early on was out of place tho.
flash-aquaman-cyborg: scenes felt irrelevant and filler, there was no need to have them in the film other than to tease and hype, which it didn't. could have done a better job as a post-credit scene.
Lois: She was just there, asides from he intro, didnt really serve as a purpose, and might as well have not showed up for the rest of the film. exposed Luthor as the mastermind? tell no one and still have Bats figure it out. Damsel in distress? not the only one.
stop the Bat from killing Supes? he had already stopped by then.
expose the hero to unnecessary danger? yup.
Doomsday: too soon, but sure why not. even if forced into the movie a bit, end result stayed on script, and seemed to be too similar to the original powerhouse.
other:
Gotham across the river from metropolis or what? why? those cities should not be closed to each other in plain sight.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
