Really not a surprise after Man of Steel. After seeing the creative team fail to successfully work with one character, I didn't see how adding another two or three heroes and an extra villain or two would help things. My mom is a big Superman fan and may try to guilt me into seeing this :-/

Totally agree. Man of Steel was lousy on three fronts: it was a poorly constructed, leaden movie without levity or chemistry; and thus it represents a shaky foundation on which to build a cinematic universe; and it recast Superman as a brooding, damaged hero, which, incidentally, makes his conflict with Batman, another brooding, damaged hero, much less interesting than it should be.

Making matters worse, Snyder and Warner Brothers jumped immediately into world building with the sequel. Say what you will about the Marvel Cinematic Universe; at least Marvel/Disney took their time. They didn't trot out The Avengers immediately after Iron Man.

I much prefer DC to Marvel in general, but WB has really started off their cinematic adventure on the wrong foot. I'll give BvS a chance once it lands on Redbox or OnDemand, and decide for myself, but I don't have much faith in the decision-makers involved.
