Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice

The fact that Rotten Tomatoes is saying Batman V Superman is worse then Daredevil just seems... harsh. So far, I have friends who are all saying different things about it.
It's good.
It's great.
It's bad.
It's awful.
I guess I may see an early showing on Monday, though I still have no expectations other then hoping it will be entertaining.

'Not bad' is the perfect phrase for this movie.

There's no objective criteria for reviewing a movie, so you can't really compare the RT scores between two different movies. Different thinkings, different feelings, etc went into reviewing the two movies. I can say for myself, for instance, that I will be much more critical in my thinking of BvS than I am of Daredevil.

I read a review that declared it worse than Batman & Robin.
I mean, holy shit for that suggestion to even be made is mind boggling.

It's not worse than Batman & Robin.
I thought it was ok. Not great, but not terrible. Just ok.

Honestly, I enjoyed the moive.
I went in thinking it was going to be crap and was pleasantly surprised.
Loved Affleck as both Bruce Wayne and Batman.
Didn't care for their portrayal of Lex, but as a villain in a superhero movie it wasn't horrible. It's pretty clear this movie is just setting up a crap ton of other movies.

For those who read this thread it is no surprise I did not like it. Not the worst superhero film out there. More overshadowed by the fact that this is what DC movies are going to be for the foreseeable future which ultimately disappoints me.

My cousin said he loved it. That's good news I reckon.
But for all those people out there who have seen the movie, riddle me this Batman.
How "Dark" is the new batman and how good is Afflek in his portrayal of Batman?
I know in Man of Steel we have a "Darker" Superman so I think its pretty logical to have a "Dark-er/ish" Batman for this movie.
Anyone want to shed some light on this for me? Without any major spoliers please.

I heard
That Batman kills his enemies fairly regularly. Not that he's a mass murderer, but he's more like Black Widow or Hawkeye, or even WWII Cap, when it comes to taking down the baddies

Basically what Korvo said. Which I don't see being a deal breaker for most people who already liked MoS or love Frank Miller's Batman. I myself would not have had a problem with it if they had earned it more. Some more information about how Batman had stopped fighting crime (It was heavily stated in the promotional material that Batman had stopped Batmanning, but there is no indication of that in the film) and some insight to his obviously missing comrades (Robin and Barbara Gordon) would have been nice to set up this Batman.
As an aside, I am legitimately curious to see the Director's Cut to see if it adds anything that could help the film out in its more disjointed scenes.

I thought it was a pretty good movie, sure it had some plot issues, but I feel like overall i can watch this movie and enjoy it for what it is
Honestly, I liked Man of Steel better. This film was... OK.
Ben Affleck wasn't bad as Batman, but I still prefer Michael Keaton and then Christian Bale as batman.
Henry Cavill is still a good Superman, though I like him more as a Super Hero then a Crime Fighter.
Casting Jessie Eisenberg as Lex Luthor was about as retarded as casting Arnold Schwarzenegger as Freeze. Sorry, but- No, I am not sorry. He just does NOT fit Lex Luthor, at all. Recast the role, please.
Gal Gadot was good as Wonder Woman, but I feel I need more from her to fully judge. I'll wait for the Wonder Woman film.
Final fight was entertaining, but kinda shoved Batman to the sidelines.
Not nearly as horrible as some people made it out to be, by far NOT the worst Super Hero or DC film out there. But it was just... Okay.
