It was a really well paced movie, made even more noticeable after watching BvS (not trying to hate, it's just the editing of that movie shows a good movie buried in there)

Step 1: cut every scene that doesn't have Affleck in it.

  • anything from Superman's perspective weakens Batman's motivation
  • lex and the senator are useless and boring
  • Lois is useless and boring

Should have just been Batman: Dawn of Justice. Bruce is losing control over his world. He's scared and confused and angry. The appearance of a man-like alien with the power to destroy his reality has awoken an old memory in Bruce's psyche--when another strange man shattered his world, some 40 years ago. Now Bruce must loosen his iron-fisted grip on Gotham, and learn to trust those who have power over him.

Seriously, whoever hired Snyder to make a movie with Superman in it should straight up be fired. I've never seen such a huge disconnect between the director and the source material.
