Batman v Superman is smarter than you think

The bottom line is that I do believe Batman v Superman is a much better movie than people are giving it credit for being -
but only in terms of its depth and ambition.
There are so much attempts to legitimate the disastrous script by constructing a psychological background. And it's just another pseudo-intellectual highfalutin talk. And another failure.

It was written by Chris Terrio, who's an oscar winning writer. It is that deep.

There's the type of movie which is actually smart, and then there's the type of movie which is just designed to make dumb people think it's smart but smart people can see that it's actually just dumb.

The real point is: Lex is the businessman opportunist shark looking for personal gain by pitting two political ideologies against one another.
I would have probably appreciated a Lex like that. Looking at the whole thing though the Lex we got wasn't this Lex.
All in all I feel it doesn't really matter how much stuff one might interpret into this movie, and wether those interpretations match the intent of the filmmakers: if the characters and the story as presented are just not compelling people won't feel engaged enough to grasp for some deeper meaning behind them. -

Not everyone has to agree with you. The article was grasping at straws and stretching things to an absurd degree.
If you can't defend a movie without bashing another, you will be put on ignore. No exceptions. -

Nobody is questioning its ambition - that it doesn't even come
close
to reaching that ambition is part of what makes it a dumb movie.
It's like with
Sucker Punch
.
Enormous
amounts of ambition; but the execution is still
. That's what makes it a dumb movie.
