I thought it was confusing, messy and desperate (Spoilers)

Really dont understand why luther had them fighting. or why they stopped fightering (I know what happens in the movie, but still didn't make sense why Batman would change his mind cause their moms have the same name. The "1%" that he was using to justify killing him still exists). Or why Luther wants a demon from the sky to come. Or if they are related. Or why Wonder Woman decided to come back from being on hiatus. Or why Aquaman has to hold his breath underwater.  

My 11pm Pasadena audience was 90% full (front row empty) and they enjoyed it. Claps at the end and cheers when Wonder Woman showed up in the final fight. However, of note was right after that fudged up future/winged demon/flash barking at batman dream (? or "flash" projection, again, i'm kinda lost) after Batman wakes up, there was a silent pause from the audience and then one dude on the other side of the theater started slowly and loudly giggling. Scream then silence then slow laugh. That made a lot of other people laugh too. I thought that was funny because that sequence was really bizarre. 

And I'll say this about Game of Thrones. They at least have the decency to pretend Jon Snow is not coming back.

Thanks for this report, JustaGuy. Doesn't sound good. I was pulling for SUPE2 to be better than MOS. If only marginally. eallensbp Mar 24, 19:26

We're at 30% now on RT....Sleep well Mr. Feige. Sleep well. {nm} JustaGuy Mar 24, 20:29

i knew doomsday was a mistake the moment i heard he was in BVS. he could have been awesome as the bad guy in justice league or the next supe horrorfanatic Mar 24, 20:05

Or Doomsday could've been awesome here--if the script structure was fixed, and he wasn't spoiled in ANY of the marketing whatsoever. chosenone2oo5 Mar 24, 20:52

I had to digest his performance for a lotta hours before I could stomach it...some. {nm} Catzan Mar 24, 21:24

I liked Spaceys Luthor {nm} Dorfman Mar 25, 06:21

me too {nm} tealfan Mar 25, 07:25

Maybe I'm a geek, but the animated Luthor from the Justice League cartoon is how I picture the character. Not a giddy rambler. Zero menace. {nm} JustaGuy Mar 25, 07:49

Maybe I'm a geek, but Michael Rosenbaum's more restrained Lex Luthor from "Smallville" is what I always envisioned. Eisenberg did great. chosenone2oo5 Mar 25, 11:30

To many this is Lex, any other version just doesn't sit well. {nm} Baron_Darcon Mar 25, 12:43

I thoroughly enjoyed the film. By far my favorite Batman to hit the movie screen. Wonder Woman stole the show anytime she was on screen. {nm} kcpelot Mar 24, 22:44

Liked it a lot. Started slow but once it got going, it was awesome. They fixed the 3rd act issues from MoS very well. {nm} reelreptile Mar 24, 23:01

I like how they addressed the 3rd act of MoS as well. Shows they are listening! {nm} kcpelot Mar 24, 23:03

A lot of frank miller in there. You can't go wrong with that. {nm} eternal warrior Mar 25, 04:49

Thought it had the same story structure as MoS hence my speculation on the legs {nm} JustaGuy Mar 25, 07:40

I saw it again last night and you could def tell more fans than critics this time from the cheering. {nm} iamZ3R0 Mar 25, 06:53
