i think the plot was good, i agree that they cramping too much, but i think they still manage.

the CGI and the fight scene was great as well, and i like Batman and Wonder Woman casting, infact i think i like the superman casting too, i though Superman could be little bit more innocence, but thats okay.

there is still two movie before Justice league part 1, i think if those movie come out great ( which i think it will be ), it will going to be great set up for Justice league part 1.

as a DC fans im excited.

I can see Justice League being a lot better assuming they're actually focusing a single story and not throwing as much stuff in like in BvS for the sake of world building.

well looking at the audience ratings in rotten tomatoes and IMDB, its look like most regular fans like it.

most of critics i've heard are from Movie "expert" who are does not know these character very much

most comic book fans like it and most regular audience like it ( because the fight scene was well done) so i think overall the movie was great.

my point is i think i care more about the opinions of superheroes movies/tv shows experts rather than people who judge these movies like any other movies.

Answer this for me, as a comic book fan

Is Batman a murderer? Would he really try to kill Superman?

Is Lex Luthor a shaggy haired dweeb?

Does Superman act like an emo teenager?

Is Doomsday a General Zod/Lex Luthor creation?

Is Jimmy Olsen a CIA operative?

they can't follow every single thing in the comic book, i don't think marvel is doing that as well.

if you watched DC TV series you would also see that they have change so many things from the comic book, but they make it fun and still use major point from the books.

and as i have said, i think i would like it better if Superman act differently and I'm not a big fan on how they portray luthor.

My point is you've been defending the movie based on the fact you appreciate it more as a DC fan, yet there are plenty of things that don't really match what the characters are about.

These aren't minor gripes- they are major character alterations.

On the MCU side of things, the interpretations of the characters is pretty damn close to who they are in the comics:
Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Loki, Thanos, etc. are all really really close to how they are portrayed in the comics. Sam Jackson as Nick Fury is a bit of an exception but Ultimate Nick Fury always looked like Sam before these movies were ever made.

Anyway we can nitpick all day. My biggest complaint is I didn't find this movie entertaining.

i think the basic principle and what we like about the character is still there.

Batman : dark and gritty as always, he always has been vigilante type, i disagree with the killing part but they have to make a disagreement between batman and superman, and i guess they have to make batman a killer.

Superman : he was not a boy scout type in the movie, but he still a nice guy, who are against killing and obey the law.

Wonder Woman : a warrior type, shown in the movie as well.

Luthor are the only one that i dislike the way they portray them, but i think it was entertaining.

that movie was entertaining for me because overall it was well done, the fight scene was great and even in the not so entertaining part, they have dropped enough Easter egg to keep me entertain.

Ya know, to me this movie just had too many "why did they do that" moments. For instance, why is batman actually trying to kill supes. In the comics that's not his plan, he just wants to beat him, to prove a point and show supes that yes, a man can beat you. Hell I would a had him beat supes, then either jail him somehow or give him one hell of a speech and leave him a bloody mess.

Yes historically Bats murdered mofos, Burton's Bats offed people and fanboys see those two movies as greatness. And yahh he'd kill Sups, he was willing to blow all of apokalipse to hell to protect the earth. Even Darkside saw that only Bats not Sups or Wonder had the balls to do so.

Sups has always been a emo bitch. Don't care about the rest.

But BVS is better than Ant man and here is why

Ben Affleck
Better end fight
Batman v Superman
Doomsday >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Yellow Jacket
Batman
Wonder woman

You're listing individual components of the film; yes, they are great, but the film doesn't equal the sum of it's part; narm sayin?

Ant-man was better when critiqued as a whole film; BvS had great moments, but the overall effect of the movie was not as effective as Ant-man. As someone mentioned, Ant-man flowed better; a more elegant narrative, and Doomsady was NOT better than Yellow Jacket AKA Darren Cross IMO. A much better developed villain, that in one character did what, and was better than Luthor and Doomsday did together as two

I liked BvS though; I'll watch again and look forward to more from these much loved characters - Ant-man was just a better executed movie though. No biggie
 
It's a different interpretation of the character. Plus Batman from BvS has only been killing recently. Basically only the 2 years since Superman has been there. The Black Zero event was the straw that pushed him over the edge. I think that's an interesting story. But he's basically back to old Batman now, anyway. At the end of the movie he refused to brand Lex and according to Suicide Squad set pics, he took the guns off his car.
 
Going to rewatch it this weekend, after pondering the flick I actually have it moved into the top tier of comic book films:

Dredd
Batman Returns
MoS
TDK
BvS
TDKR
Begins(I know most like it better than TDKR, but the Nolan trilogy is as good as the villains, fake Ras did nothing for me and Scarecrow was great but got even less screen time than Bane, this is definitely Bales best performance as Batman).
 
I'm not a huge comic reader, but I liked deadly batman. I've always thought the no-kill rule was for pussies not to mention impractical and short-sighted. Killing a lot of these fucks prevents further deaths down the line.

BATMAN V SUPERMAN Leads Fandango’s Ticket Sales for the Second Week

Batman-v-Superman-Clark-Kent-Daily-Planet-Dragonlord.jpg


Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is leading Fandango’s ticket sales for the second week in a row, after debuting to $166 million last weekend.

The Fanticipation movie-buzz indicator gives the superhero saga 91 points out of 100, and the ticket-selling platform is seeing repeat ticket purchases — 30 percent higher than any typical blockbuster.

The film also earned $7.7 million on Thursday, bringing its domestic total up to $209 million.

Despite negative reviews from both critics and fans, Batman v Superman broke several records during its debut. Analysts predicted a 60 percent to 65 percent drop-off for the film’s second weekend.

“What we’re looking at is a massively front-loaded popcorn picture — one that will drop upwards of 60 percent in its second round,” Exhibitor Relations analyst Jeff Bock told TheWrap. “In other words: $63 million to $65 million next weekend.”

without having Keaton's BATMAN, you might as well add Green Lantern to the list.
