"Dark and gritty" is such a tired, misguided oversimplification. It's not about tone.
I was entertained and invested the whole movie.BurtReynolds wrote:People were certainly not ready to hate on SS. That thing had more positive buzz than any recent movie I can think of (outside of Disney).
I don't see anything new or interesting about the cinematic quality of BvS. It's nothing new, in fact it's positively dated. The dark and gritty take has been around longer than the Marvel movies. Marvel movies were a reaction to this in the first place.
And the storytelling and execution were abysmal. It was trying so hard to look important, but was completely airheaded. Not to mention it just wasn't entertaining in the least. Did anyone enjoy the last third of that movie? Were you invested in anything or anyone in this movie?

This has been done, and done better. Christ, Snyder already did it with Watchmen. That comic did it decades ago.

I didnt liked how they told Doomsday story.

Yea, that was brutal. real. engaging.BurtReynolds wrote:Punch, punch, explosion, punch, punch, explosion, all happening over a cg landscape that is absurdly abandoned (no doubt to avoid the criticisms of Man of Steel.)
The action is so lacking in creativity. Hate Marvel all you want, but the action in Civil War was much more inventive and interesting with its action scenes.
Although the Batman fight against the random henchmen was pretty awesome. Where is that movie? That's one I want to see.
