I'm ok with adapting. So many of the other comic book movies have done a great job. In fact this is the first super hero movie I've complained about when it comes to just taking a dump all over the source material. I just prefer they adapt to make it better not adapt so that you can cram as many story lines as your can into a movie and try and play catch up with Marvel. I have no idea why DC feels they need to hurry up and release the JL. Take your time like Marvel did and release a quality product.

I didn't feel they crammed too much into this movie. There was one story, and it was told well, from my perspective.

I've also been a Superman comics fan for over two decades, and I don't understand the hate and bashing this movie is getting.

There were two at the very least. Batman vs Superman and Doomsday storyline. Then they kind of previewed the JL story and they threw in wonder woman. As just an overall movie it's fine a good 6/10 for me. Which is an ok movie but I most likely wont be watching it twice. My problem is they could have done so much more with this. The Doomsday story line should have been it's own thing and part 2 of the superman story. They should have had Affleck do is own Batman but an older Batman like they did here. 

Then there was the issue of how Batman wanted to kill Superman for barely any reason at all. Batman is very smart and so is Superman yet they were both played like children into fighting each other it was the most ridiculous thing I've seen in a long time. There were so many ways they could have adjusted that point of the story to make the squabble feel more real. Like use red krytonite to make Superman evil for a bit and that will give Batman a legit reason. Instead they came up with the story they did were even the character Lex can't beleive how easy it was to trick them.
