I didn't mind that, I minded the stupidity of the movie... in one moment he can't even stand on the kryptonite island and Luthor can punch him 10 feet backwards, and 10 minutes later he is able to lift the entire thing out of Earth orbit.
And the fact that the entire movie was Supes lifting things, or catching things.... that is literally all he did the entire movie.... was dumb.
But then the bullet flattening against his eyeball was cool.
Cool moments, dumb movie.
Batman Vs Superman
Yeah I never thought he literally spun the earth backwards, but rather it appeared to spin backwards because he was going backwards in time. Which is still dumb but less dumb than "earth spin backwards causes time to reverse".

Superman Returns sucked because it was the exact same movie as the original only somehow worse. Yeah, it had cool moments as Gordo pointed out, but overall it wasn't a good film.
Man of Steel I also enjoyed. I thought the effects and acting were much better than previous efforts. However, I did have issues with it.
If you're still reading and haven't seen Man of Steel, skip the rest of my post.
Why turn Earth into a new Krypton? That made no sense. Why introduce an atmosphere that makes you normal instead of using the existing one that makes you gods?
The kiss over the devastation that easily killed hundreds of thousands was, at the very least, in poor taste. Realistically it shows that you have no regard or remorse for the humans you claim to protect and Batman is right to want to stop you.
Superman doesn't kill. End of story. (He could have covered his eyes. He could have told the morons standing there to move. Etc. Plus, if you watch Zod's head, the way Superman moved it would have pointed the beam right at those people and killed them.)

Yeah, I always did wonder why Zod chose Earth instead of, say, Mars, which Supes would not have fought him about. But then you realize that Zod is crazy and it was now about hurting Supes, not bringing back Krypton.
And one presumes that just because they change the atmosphere of the planet to breath easier, it still won't change the yellow sun that makes Supes super. But that's another can o' worms, isn't it, because they showed the atmo making supes weak.
I dunno.
Still liked it, even the Costner sacrifice.

People are starting to see the film and the suits are nervous.
They want to make clear that people are enjoying the film, but they're comparing it to Man of Steel. Considering how that was received, and look no further than the previous comments in this thread for that, the WB peeps are worried.
I'll bet if Justice League is the next film, they're going to relax that "no humor" rule and skew more towards what Marvel does, particularly in light of Deadpool's success.

It was recently revealed that Malone has been cut from the theatrical release of "BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE" and will only be seen in the 'R' rated 'Ultimate Cut' which will be released on blu-ray and dvd this summer.

Warner Bros is coming off of its worst year in recent memory, since JUPITER ASCENDING, PAN, and Henry Cavill-starrer THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. all either bombed or underperformed in 2015.
Ouch.
Echoing concerns that came out of early test screenings for BATMAN V SUPERMAN Eddy Von Mueller, a senior lecturer in the Film and Media Studies department at Emory University, says that WB/DC's desire to make a more arresting superhero film "could be a tougher sell to audiences." Von Mueller's comments are based on a comparison between DC and Marvel, since the latter's films have tended <s>to be more lighthearted and escapist</s> not to be made by people with several large sticks crammed cozily up their asshole.

On Monday I saw an article about people's responses after seeing BvS, but I didn't post it after seeing that these were not critics or regular people. They were insiders and critics were still under a hush order. As you would imagine, the reviews were overwhelmingly positive as all of the leaked reviews have been from studio friendly sources.
So I held off.
Today critics reviews are coming in and currently the movie sits at 33% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Ouch.
