IMO the let down with it and why people didn't like it is simple, and was unavoidable regardless of how good/bad the movie was - the portrayal of the Batman realm wasn't identical to the Batman Begins trilogy one. It's a testament to Batman Begins if anything - how perfect it was. In BvS we see Batfleck, we see a shitty Wayne Manor and lake house, we see a different batmobile, Alfred is just wrong, etc. That's what I genuinely believe most people had the issue with.

BvS was alright-to-good IMO. Bit hard to follow at times but at other times was brilliant. I think an issue most of the worst-movie-ever kids would have is how fast-paced the action scenes were, too. How fxxxing annoying was Lois Lane? Played the damsel in distress role perfectly - aka just became a major fxxxxing hassle in every scene
Each to their own I guess.

I thought Batman's storyline was the only thing about the film that was half-decent. It was good they didn't go down the path of his origin story again and I kinda liked how he was older and jagged. Agree about Jeremy Irons as Alfred, but I think he would have been alright if the character hadn't been reduced to a failed attempt at comic relief.

Overall, I have no reservations saying it was the worst film I have sat through at the cinemas. I'm one who doesn't care if a film is a bit silly, and I actually quite enjoy this wave of superhero films, but this really had no redeeming features for me. Too long, bloated, muddled story, shocking editing and writing, robotic characters who just do things for no real reason, Jesse Eisenberg - the list goes on.

I thought Man of Steel was average at best, shame they've kinda bombed this series. Cavill has had very little to work with the poor bloke.
