After eagerly waiting for nearly three years to see this flick I never ever would have thought I would leave cinema saying "meh, whatever". I mean, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman appearing together on the big screen for the first time, that's a pretty huge deal in itself, how the hell did they manage to **** that up is beyond me.

MINOR SPOILERS...

It's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 all over again, they crammed so much into this film it's not even funny. Two of the most iconic stories in DC comic book history (The Dark Knight Returns, The Death of Superman) are in this film, both butchered and half assed. The way the main conflict between Batman and Superman started, especially the way it abruptly ended was poorly done. And is it too much to ask for a serious, arrogant, and intelligent Lex Luthor for once, because Eisenberg, like his predecessors, was a complete and utter joke. Doomsday was all CGI, and yet he looked more like a cave troll from LOTR than his comic counterpart. Why? The Justice League setup was genuinely weird, the knightmare scene came out of nowhere, cameos were shoehorned in the worst possible way, looked downright sloppy as well. Superman is still gloomy as hell, even more so than in Man of Steel which is hard to believe. They're hell bent on making him as dark and gritty as possible, I'm not asking for a campy silver age Superman, but goddamn, not even Clark Kent is spared this treatment.

Not to be all negative, Jeremy Irons as Alfred is superb. Gal Gadot was a pleasant surprise. Ben Affleck is appearance wise best Batman yet, although for some strange reason Batman is killing people left and right, which is weird, not even Frank Miller's Batman was that brutal. Great score, to be expected of Hans Zimmer.

END OF SPOILERS

Overall, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a dull affair, there's no levity whatsoever, it's often dark and gritty for the sake of being dark and gritty. Not to say it's a bad movie, but far from a spectacle you would normally expect given the source material. At least I got a Batman figurine with my drink, which is awesome.

For those who have seen Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, what did you think of it?
