Those are set-ups for a sequel. The movie was still a single story told quite simply, and easy to follow.
I'm not going to agree with you when I had an easy time keeping up with what was going on.
You take the elements of the story, and separate them as if they were the comic books from which the movie takes its inflences. They're not their comic books counterparts. This movie told a different take on these events and included them in a single story. They're not separate entities. They're all elements that build up to a climax, just like in any other movies.
As for the movie not explaining everything, they're setting up the sequel and other movies. The videos showcasing other characters present the viewers with elements of Lex's character. He's had his eyes on those beings. That's not separate stories. In the movie, they're showing us that Lex has known about those being for quite some time now and it explains parts of his behaviour and actions.
You look at things and remove them from their context, based on what you know from outside the movie (comics, other movies, whatever else), instead of looking at the movie as it is and linking its parts together.
The movie is a single story.

Lets hasn't known about the situation for quite some time. He did not know what was in the ship until he was given the liberty to check it by the military. After that point was he privy to the alien knowledge. Before that he was framing Superman numerous times and for what? Nothing. He didnt even get into trouble for the acts of doomsday, but rather just the bombing.
I never once said this movie wasnt one story, but its inspirations were a collision course of different events taking place in one incoherent script. Hopefully I am guessing that they think the extended cut will help them recoup money and help the theatrical version make sense, so we shall see.
The fact that they are releasing more is an admission to what I am saying.

Quit with the hyperbole.
The movie has already made over 800M at the BO. It's been profitable for quite some time now.
