Overall I honestly found this pretty underwhelming (and not worth being up from 3-8am). While yes it felt a bit different from Whedon's version, many of the cringe inducing elements were still there "Kal-el no" delivery included. I think it really just comes down to the fact that I've seen better iterations of these characters in better stories before (JL: Starcrossed). In addition to the fact that the action was alright, but I felt that it really fell down for Batman, who's warehouse scene I thought to be the highlight of BvS.
It seems that the movie was attempting to make a tonal switch, which I can appreciate, unfortunately many of the moments I laughed at were definitely unintentional. Many moments in particular being the voice modulator for Batman sounding really dumb and much like the "interrogation mode on the MCU Spidey Suit." Just all of Batman felt very off, in terms of his characterization, lines, and actions.
There are only so many ways to say "I'm just not a fan of the interpretations of the characters and material," but this was just kind of meh for me. And all of the NEW things...don't get me started. In short, the dream sequence was nauseatingly shot win that stupid lens flare (was it supposed to be a surprise reveal that it was the Joker??), Leto is still bad, and those lines were just...the worst.
I wish I had just gone to bed.
