This thread made me watch BvS last night, out of curiosity. 

The first half had was tight and good, thanks to Jesse Eisenberg. Not sure why people wanted someone else for the role. He was great. The second half was boring. 

Both movies were bad overall, both didn't impress me. I'd rate both similarly. 

Keep in mind, I never grabbed a comic book.

I can't tell you how many times people have liked either the first half or second half only to hate the other part! Maybe it's like two different movies. I liked it throughout, though. Immediately watched it a second time.

I think they're both similar in quality, too. Civil War is better for repeat viewings thanks to more exciting action scenes but they're both good (IMO).

For me, the first half was solid thanks to some decent dialogue moments and Jesse, whom I ususally can't stand, I wanted him dead or eaten alive in Zombieland. 

And yes, it's baffling why both are received so differently by the critics. Maybe they are fans of the comics and had different expectations? Not that I read any reviews or the comics anyway.

One of Batman's dreaming sequences particularly annoyed me though lol
