I actually really enjoyed this film. It's above average, a bit darker than the Marvel films and worth checking out.

How's the cam quality?

Good but tiny.

Yeah I liked it a lot. It's definitely darker than the usual superhero movies. Ben Affleck is a great batman. Could've been more action but still a good movie

Mark Zuckaberg did awesome in this film!

High points for me:-
a} Jesse Eisenberg depicting Lex Luthor as a psychotic Silicon Valley CEO.
b} Ben Affleck's depiction of Batman as a self-pitying, alcoholic, gambling, misanthropic version of Alex Jones from infowars.com, with severe repressed gender identity issues.
"You aren't a God. You weren't even a MAN."
Low points:-
Pretty much everything else. In quality terms, this film wasn't that far north of Star Trek: Nemesis. The production values are the only thing that saved it; and Warner Brothers apparently didn't make that money back. The fight wasn't even any good, because they kept it for literally the last fifteen minutes, and it only lasts for five so that they can then go and fight Doomsday; which Wonder Woman largely deals with on her own, so Batman and Supes can exchange more emo fascist dialogue that no one cares about.

Eisenberg's performance was way too over the top for me. Also his motivation to kill Superman was very unclear.

He has a fascinating repertoire of ticks, and I can't stand his delivery

My problem with it is does not feel like Lex Luthor at all and more akin to the Joker than anything. Lex in Young Justice is a perfect model for how I imagine Lex being, not some crazy person. There is that rumor that he's actual Lex's son or whatever, but that seems like such a copout.

That's exactly what I thought when I saw the trailer. Luthor should be based on a bond villain. I'm burned out on comic-relief-wacky-sociopath villains.

Eisenberg's performance was way too over the top for me.
It was over the top, but the reason why that didn't bother me, is because I knew from literally the first image on the screen, that this was not going to be a film that I was going to take remotely seriously. So from that perspective, Eisenberg impersonating Drop Dead Fred added to the overall comedy.
Another bad film which this one really reminded me of, was Kevin Costner's The Postman. The reason why is because Costner intended that film to be extremely serious, but for the most part it was hilariously funny, even though the humor was completely unintentional. This film was the same. It was trying to be incredibly dark and serious, when I took it as just one big fascist joke.

The whole film was worth it just for the solo Batman fight near the end.
