I think it was a given that Eisenberg would be returning. The shit show must go on, after all the dinner bell has already been rung.
I have mentally checked out from the Snyder DC universe films. I can't understand how anyone can seriously think BvS was a "good" film in almost any regard. It was a mish mash of ideas pulled from some of the most memorable comic book story arcs and slapped together. Nothing really makes sense.
- Superman has this crisis of identity in the film, like he is some sort of teenager. Ridiculous that he isn't sure of who he is and what he believes. Snyder spent most of MoS setting this up, only to throw it in the trash for BvS (along with Superman's super speed, common sense, etc.)
- Superman is framed for some bullshit situation. Was there zero investigation on what happened? Are completely unreliable witnesses accepted in any realistic proceeding in our world. Garbage subplot made even worse by the deletion of key scenes (burning of bodies in director's cut). If you are watching the movie in the theaters, you are told that people believe Superman is to blame for a bunch of people getting SHOT.
- Lex Luthor is a SHIT villain. He is not deep, he is like a cartoon. It felt like Snyder wanted a Joker or something, but all we got was this loser. We can all have our interpretations about what his motivations were, but the movie does a bad job at illustrating them, plus they aren't even really the actual flaw, it is his execution. Idiot plan to have Batman fight Superman, followed by idiot plan to have a giant ninja turtle kill Superman. I wish the movie had let the TMNT hit Lex, it would have been the icing on his idiot cake.
- Superman keeps tabs on Louis, but anyone can swipe his mom in this movie (did he forget MoS, seems like he hears when his mother is in trouble well enough in MoS)
- Overall, I personally enjoyed all the Batman scenes in the movie WITHOUT Superman. However, he is injected with one fatal flaw just to further the plot. The world's greatest detective is an IDIOT in BvS. Does Batman not have access to social media or government intelligence. How about some common sense? Superman is a f'n saint in the movie, and the Batfleck comes up with this bullshit 1% nonsense. How can he be so stupid? Not to mention he condemns Superman for endangering humans while he wrecks shit all over the place.
- Wonder Woman was entertaining, I hope her movie is better than the BvS shit show.
That is what happens when you slap shit together without a good story. Batman and Superman fight under much different and well thought out circumstances in The Dark Knight Returns. The Doomsday story, while not something I like, was put together in better fashion than what we got here. Superman's death had more weight.
Either A) Snyder is a hack or B) The corporate overlords laid down the law on Snyder and told him they wanted all this shit in the same movie, and that they didn't give a fuck if the story made sense or not.
One of the only redeeming quality of this movie are the visuals, the imagery. Iconic shots brought to life, they look great, too bad the actual story is garbage.
