As for me, I plan to avoid this in the theaters. Will see once free/very cheap. I'm not believing the hype.

I didn't like the literal start of the fight, but once it got going I thought it was one of the best parts of the film. the best action sequence in the whole thing.
Spoiler:
Batman punching Superman's face until his bio-aura kicked back in was pretty funny. The audience was like "Oooooooo shiiiiiiii"

Yeah. It was strange that, as much as Snyder liked using slow-motion in other movies, he didn't use it much if at all in this one, where it would have made so much sense to. Three beings with super-speed reflexes but no slow-mo was silly. add to that all the clutter and fire and such.
Originally posted by -Pr-Yeah I don't think the movie did a good job setting Batman's unyielding hatred for Superman. I mean I see what they were going for but I don't think it worked as well.

Yeah the last fight was
Spoiler:
awkward for me to watch. They had weird pause shots of the people then it went to so much clutter. Although I thought the Wonder Woman intro was fantastic in that fight.
Also Ben Affleck was amazing as Batman.

^ I thought Batman's motivation was heavily developed.On another note, people make fun of me for avoiding trailers. Well I really really wish I hadn't seen that Doomsday trailer. Would have definitely enjoyed the movie more if I hadn't.
Spoiler:
I think they got Batman to the point where he would prep for Superman as a dangerous foe. But Bats was gonna straight up murder him.

Spoiler:
Though same can be said for Clark not attempting to talk/reason with Bruce till the very end of their fight. If he had just explained the situation at the beginning of their confrontation, the fight could've been avoided, though I guess that wouldn't of been as fun. Did still like the cleverness of bringing up the fact their mothers have the same first name though, regardless.

heat vision it wouldn't have mattered, but that whole "energy absorption" thing was redundant. It really wasn't needed.

I did still like Doomsday's final form more than his initial appearance where he was bone-protruding like crazy. And of course him getting to "kill" Superman allowed him to have the kind of purpose he deserved, as opposed to just being a punching bag like we all suspected before seeing the film.However, they did the whole "death of Superman" adaptation without really earning it, thus making the whole experience feel cheapened. If there had been enough movies/screentime for this Superman, it would've made this little arc much more effective. As it is, we had a rookie Supes who was mostly hated by the people of earth/Metropolis due to the death/destruction his fights caused instead of being the joyful symbol of hope people would normally see him as, so there wasn't too much reason to mourn his loss.
Am sure this was already said/pointed out, but still felt the need to... go there.
I saw the movie a few hours ago, it was legit terrible. About the only good thing about it was Batfleck, everything else was bad. Even the fights and the music were forgettable this time. Jesse is badly miscast, and Gal Gadot simply cannot act. Like, her acting is on par with Arnold's acting minus the charisma and screen presence. The Wonder Woman solo movie is doomed.

Well
Spoiler:
he did try at the start; Bruce just wasn't listening. He could have tried harder though.

Well they showed
Spoiler:
Batfleck's certainty that this alien would eventually turn against humanity and destroy it. Aside from the collateral deaths of people close to Bruce which were already caused by Supes fight with Zod, he was also having those intense visions of Evil future Supes. And we know those Visions are more than just dreams. And he gave the "how many good people stayed that way" speech to Alfred.They also went into his personal issues where he doesn't think anything he's done will make a long term difference to the world. Whereas this would. So it was also about his own legacy.

You might be right Darth. OS numbers are strong, overall. Could hit 400 this weekend.http://variety.com/2016/film/box-office/batman-v-superman-international-box-office-1201739893/
Even if it does do well, it wouldn't necessarily mean WB would keep things as they are moving forward. I mean, Marvel is on its 13th movie of the universe, and it's their 9th that's widely regarded as their best.
WB has plenty of time to improve, and they can do it without rebooting anything. This isn't Green Lantern or Superman Returns.
You can keep Cavill and have the next Superman movie be more Johns/Morrison style than what Snyder was doing. And people might say "but that wouldn't be consistent with the tone!", and they'd be right, unless you gradually shift it over the course of several movies, which is more than possible.

Spoiler:
Yeah but those are just visions. I still don't buy Bats going straight for the kill like that.
Also the the romance between Lois and Superman just has never got any traction with me in this movie.
