My best friend told me that the movie was pile of shit... That's coming from a fanboy like me.

I'll let you know in about six months when it's on HBO or Showtime. Never a movie theatre again in my future.

Sucked. And sucked badly.
Some reasons why:
1. Dream sequences: there were at least two too many.
2. Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. God. What a terrible choice.
3. Affleck did a pretty decent job as Batman - a pleasant surprise - but the fight scenes were so heavily choreographed that they should have shot them with a lesser frame rate to speed them up. As it was, they were wooden and looked pretty bad.
4. Gal Gadot steals the show as Wonder Woman... and gets about 6 minutes of screen time.
5. When did Superman and Batman just start killing people routinely? That is not who they are.
6. Justice League cameos by other characters were forced in. Better to have them be Easter eggs than 30 seconds of teasers for the next movie.
7. Jeremy Irons was a solid Alfred.
8. The final fight vs Doomsday. Shades of the most recent Fantastic Four movie. And that is a very apt comparison for most of the movie. The scripts and tempo are very similar.
9. I won't spoil it, but the puppetmaster is unmasked because his henchmen use bullets made of proprietary metal? What is wrong with lead?

This was the worst movie I've seen in quite a while. Rotten Tomatoes has it about right.

SPC James Burkett II how close was it to Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns?"

I enjoyed it. To the critics and quasi-fans that have panned it I ask this question: Are you the same people that were so in love with the Avengers movies? Cause if so, this flick was no cornier than they were.
