It's not great and the movie is a jumbled mess but if you know the source material then you easily understand what Snyder is trying to tell.
I feel it's been critically bashed by people who don't understand the story. Is it a great movie? No. Is it a terrible movie? No
It's a sub par movie that I wouldn't recommend but I wouldn't condemn it either.
Of course people understood what the story was supposed to be about - it's not exactly a subtle film.

However, the way it was put together just made no sense; as you said, the movie is a jumbled mess. One second you've got superman saving lois from terrorists in the middle of africa then we're in metropolis with some random senator talking shit and then there's these suss dream sequences etc. The only storyline that half made sense was batman's.

I went into it knowing it had been panned and expected it to be a half-decent time waster, but jesus I don't think the reviews have been harsh enough. People in the cinema I was in were literally saying "what the **** is going on?" out loud during the screening.
