      If you can turn your brain fully off, like shut down, hold the power button ten seconds, wait for it to stop blinking, and unplug it from the wall, it can be a reasonably enjoyable dumb action ride.

      What it sets out to do, it executes with a reasonable amount of technical prowess. There are scenes that are fun. Sometimes it’s nice to just watch shit explode or someone punch a car through a wall or whatever random thing happens. But it’s easy to lose the zen and find a million reasons to (rightly) hate the movie. I’m glad you like it. I generally enjoy it myself, when I’m in the right mood.

      I saw it in theatres, one in maybe 20 I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. I thought it was fine, everything I’d ever expect a “Batman fights Superman” movie to be.

      Doesn’t hurt that I don’t care about either franchise and hadn’t seen any other movies in the universe leading up to it lol. I was just invited last minute to see it with some friends

        Part of the problem was that there weren’t movies leading up to it. They just dropped Batman vs Superman on us with zero build up, which it really needed because Bats was acting wildly out of character due to stuff that happened off screen.
