Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

That is a very accurate consensus. From originally a Superman sequel and development of Clark Kent, it now jammed packed, accelerated telling of the past so many years of Superman while at the same time giving way a lot more focus to JLA.
What a lot of fans are left disappointed is too brief and hurried gloss over DD and the ending.
It the usual from touching the conflict. you go OTT just to show everyone how much you like superman without any consideration of others that havent watched the movie. What is the point of going to see it when you just given the entire plot away.

Amazing to see you have treated others like this. I have read people spoiling the movie over and over, yet I am the one being picked on here. Yes, I am a big Superman fan, but that's not the reason I gave "plot away" as you have mentioned. If anyone had asked that question and they saw the movie, I am sure it was pretty obvious that the information I gave is exactly what people saw. So, once again, I still fail to see what the problem is. As such, you're the only one who has pointed this out.
I was merely outlining what Egon didn't understand as to why they were fighting in the first place. He clearly was bemused as to why these two iconic heroes were going toe-to-toe. As I imagine many non-comic book readers probably thought when they saw it too. Nothing was spoiled that people have not already seen. And if someone did look at the spoiler tag, that's their problem. Not mine. I was answering a question. Simple as that.

Nothing wrong with giving away the plot if it's an a spoiler tag. That's what it's there for. If someone clicks to reveal a spoiler tag for a film they haven't seen, that's their choice. They know what it does, and there's a damn good chance they will learn vital details about the plot. If they do it anyway, I'd like to know why; unless of course, they don't actually care about the film in question and aren't that bothered about seeing it.
Saying someone is being inconsiderate in giving away the entire plot of a film that's in spoiler tags, is just silly. If someone does that without using spoiler tags, then that's different.

I went in expecting it to be a flop, I heard the mutterings from the fan boys and review sites.
Went with the lass and we both enjoyed it, I am a comic fan (know the basis of the story), lass isn't. She loved it, I spotted a few flaws and yes its all over the place at times but a decent movie. Affleck as Batman was a good choice, the setup for Luthor and essentially this is a setup for JLA.
Over all a decent movie, its flawed however I would go see it again.

...and that Doomsday is just DC'S version of the Hulk.
Coming from a comic books background the worst aspect of this movie was Lex

+1 Thank you!
Doomsday would murder Hulk easily.
If the portrayed a Man in an Iron suit taking him down, and it took two of the most powerful comic book heros to take him down, and still with some help from Batman.
Also, in the comic, the ENTIRE Justice League get absolutely murdered by Doomsday.
I had no problem with Superman in this - it would have been nice if the movie touched more on the hero worship side of things a little. Affleck was a good Batman. His Bruce was just OK. Michael Keaten still has the prize for that. I liked Lex too. All in all a good movie. Not Deadpool / Guardians good, but not Ironman 3 bad!
I love it when people argue about cartoon\comic characters
I know it's pointless.
.... Because it's obvious Hulk would easily win.
Well, that's just it. Not possible or even remotely probable in the comics. Somebody in their infinite wisdom decided to tone the Hulk down in the Movies.According to the lore the only characters that ever "beat the Hulk down" was the Silver Surfer, Zeus and Thanos. Superman never receives a beating simply because he is part of the American Psyche. Even when he encountered the Hulk, Superman was given a get out clause, knocking the Hulk out before he had the chance to rip him limb from limb. Superman is built up to never fail. The Hulk wasn't allowed to beat him whilst an ordinary man (Batman) nearly or could have killed him? Despite this, superman is vulnerable to magic and kryptonite. So many plot inconsistencies when you start to argue Superman can do this to or can beat whoever.

the opposite for me - all my supergeek friends hated this batman and the film whereas me, who doesn't read comics thought batman was very good and the film was 'enjoyable' although it had major plot/script problems.
i really liked him as well - the best thing about the film - but i think my friends didn't like this version of batman because he killed a lot of people and reckoned he was way too extreme compared to the comics.
LOL
When he fires that kryptonite gas grenade hes hiding behind rubble - presume hes waiting for WW to tag him in

Yes, why wouldn't people like the DC cinematic universes first look at Batman being a Batman who has abandoned one of the most fundamental parts of his character.
