The movie was badly edited for storytelling but great for action. They crammed multiple stories into one rushed script and tried to fit it into two and a half hours to catch up to Marvel after Green Lantern failed.

The consensus between professional reviewers and harsh amateur critics seems to be that the movie shouldve been split up into t wo movies to have a more coherent script. Seriously...Superman dying should feel like a loss of hope in the world. They squandered the denoument (build up) to create an excuse for lesser characters to be needed and snyder admitted this.. Captain America was a hated goody two shoes character with little to relate to because of his american good guy persona but Civil War sees Captain America turn into Captain Consitution which means he will stand up for peoples rights even if the governent wants to break the rules. This is something that DC has screwed up Superman with that his character could never take that turn to better himself in the eyes of the many.

Two movies airing one year after the other no different than the hunger games. Do two films worth of work and air them one year after the next.

One last post and then I'm done. I swear!

 

Anyway, I love the idea of making two movies. They probably should have done it.  Hell, release them the same year like The Matrix!

The only thing I see being a problem is that several people actual said the beginning of the film was the best part and, from the fight to the end, it was just mindless chaos.  Others said the first half was boring and directionless but it made up for it with some good action near the end.

 

Only a few liked it from beginning to end and a lot seem to have disliked the whole thing. Two movies would have possibly meant that those who disliked the whole thing and those who disliked the beginning weren't coming back for part two.

I might be wrong, though. A good cliffhanger probably would have brought them back.

If splitting it into two movies would have created a more cohesive story, it would have limited the number of dissatisfied views. I though the story, editing, and direction was pretty bad. I only saw it once. If you would have told me 6 months ago that BvS was released, I didn't like it, and I only saw it once. I would have called you crazy. I saw Man of Steel three times in theatre. I never hopped on the Ben Affleck hate train pre-release. I was and still am not sold on Gal Gadot though.
