The film editor admitted that the original cut of the movie was supposed to be four hours long. Thats probably why when they edited it for theatrical status he had holes.  A very flawed film. This backs my statement that the movie had holes and had too many storylines in one film. It could've been split up between two years but DC is so behind.

Marvel is focused and they are doing their own thing which DC is trying but struggling to emulate. Iron Man was a popular character in the 90's but the 90's as you said was the era of the Xmen. It was the comic of a generation of teens with attitude isues and a the liberal philosophy of civil rights. 

There's only one story in BvS. And it's quite an easy film to follow.

Um...sorry but no.

There were bits of Flashpoint Paradox (Flash dreams)

Justice League War (Cyborg video borrowed from war animation, Visions of the Parademons in the future)

and Batman vs Superman (loosely based off of the actual comic and animation. Of course, featuring no Green Arrow)

Then we have the dawn of justice plot which is the precursor for the Justice League in itself featuring none other than Lex Luthor.

The whole fact that Doomsday was in the movie was an an issue. Didnt you notice that fan complaints stopped once they took Doomsday out of the commercial and left it just as Superman vs Batman?

DC has been taking liberties using old storylines from their most successful animated films and novels and cramming as much nonsensical information into one barely coherent script.

Lexes motivations were not known throughout the whole movie. We knew what he was waiting for and we knew that he set things up...but never knew why. A waste of two and a half hours that never finds its resolution as to his logic. A movie like this is only as strong as its primary antagonists ambitions and motivations and it lacks there beyond reason.

 

As the editor said, the original cut was was four hours. What they should've done was made this into a two part story with Batman vs Superman and then Dawn of Justice.
