one of kevin smith's reasons for the film working for DC/comic fans when talking about the parademons in the knightmare sequence "giving you what you wanted to see your whole life" (starts @ 29:00.. uses to again when talking about the 3 being together on screen)
that is essentially the reason I use for liking Michael bay's 1st transformers.. and singer's underwhelming first two xmen movies
this is Affleck's friend and a huge batman fan.. points out a ton of the problems:

Just watched the film again last night:
Opinion of the film as a whole hasn't changed, but a second viewing allowed me to pay attention to other things, for better or worse. As much as I think Wonder Woman's theme doesn't fit her, I think that Lex Luthor's is perfect. Scene where he's first walking into the Kryptonian ship and then getting to experiment on Zod's body was also an excellent presentation of that.
Perhaps because I saw it in 3D the first time (And I wear glasses and hadn't planned on watching it as such, so I had to wear the 3D glasses over my regular glasses), but I really didn't realize how many people Batman killed in this film
That car chase where he's trying to first get the Kryptonite has him smashing a car into a building, latching a cable onto it, dragging it through the street, and then throwing it onto another car. Explosion are no all 3-6 of those people are dead as hell 
Doesn't even begin to count the car he sets up to hit that truck, the truck driver, and the people he actively shot up with the Batmobile and Batplane. Not necessarily a problem for me, but that's going to be an issue down the line in terms of whatever supervillains are running around Gotham, unless whoever has the balls to really have Batman killing non-mooks. 
There's also zero reason at all for Diana to go steal Batman's device that's downloading information from Luthorcorp's databanks and then to specifically wait for Batman to go check on it, and then stare directly at him when he finds out its gone, before quickly walking away. That just serves no purpose besides to make them interact, which I get because you need that in the film. But it just came off as silly to me. Not like she knew she was going to need his held to get past the protection later in the film.
Knightmare sequence is perfect.
Evil Superman, Batman vs his troops Also realized that the Superman soldiers are based off his troops from Injustice in terms of appearance and that Batman in turn looks like he did in the alternate universe story Gotham by Gaslight. Nice touches. Still say that i'd watch a film in that world and pay good money to do so. Also think that it might've just been the theater I was in the first time, or maybe since I was in the front ******* row, but I was able to hear Flash a lot better right after the Knightmare, talking about Lois Lane and how Bruce was right about "him" and always had been. There any info or theories on where this Flash is from? (Future obviously, but what future exactly? The Knightmare or something else?)
Still not a fan of Doomsday. And i'm not a huge fan of the character as it is, but think I really would've preferred had they used someone else as a villain. Perhaps even just give Lex his powered suit. Could've worked to play up the Man vs God angle. Otherwise, how does Lex even plan to control that thing in the event that Batman kills Superman? Which is clearly what he wants. Don't feed me some bull that he just assumed he'd be able to control it because he created it. Lex Luthor's smarter than that.
EDIT: Also, Batman asking Superman if Wonder Woman's with him doesn't make any sense. Maybe if he hadn't seen the picture of her in armor and such, dating back to like WWI beforehand then sure, but he did and had interacted with her to some extent. He has a basic idea of who this woman is, while the wording makes it seem like he's just meeting her for the first time.

Throne of Atlantis would be on screen.
It would be a great chance to show how badass Aquaman can be

I'm still curious how they plan to pull off underwater scenes.

Dianna had found out that Lex had that picture, and she was trying to get into Lex's database to destroy the picture. Wasn't forced at all.

Doesn't actually explain what i'm questioning. She goes into the data room, collects the "leech" that Bruce has used to collect Lex' data, then proceeds to what? Wait there for Bruce to go into the room so she can stare at him and have him notice her as he discovers the "leech" is no longer there? For what purpose? As noted, she already had the "leech", which contained the data and at that point had no idea that she wouldn't be able to access the information inside it. There's then no reason for her to stick around once she's gathered it, especially not to let Bruce know that she's the one that took it.

Is there any recent movie that pulls off an underwater type world? The clip in DOJ left me skeptical

:x For the most part. Unlike the alt sentinel designs for DofP which was cool, this alt Doomsday art looks like Clayface trying his hardest to look like a turd.

I can't think of any, at least not one where people are walking and talking underwater. Avatar 2 was going to be the first time we were going to see it done but that has been pushed out of it's 2017 release date and I am not even sure that movie will ever come out.
My guess is that Atlantis and other underwater cities are going to be in like a dome so they could walk and talk normally and then when in water they'll talk telepathically? I am not sure which way they are going but it looks like it's going to be a big challenge.

I say use effects and wiring to make their hair and clothing "float" as if underwater, make it look like they're swimming, and then CG the water in later
That's what I was thinking. Sorta like how in the Phantom Menace, the Gungans had cities underwater in domes but they could freely traverse between them by swimming. That'd be the best way

guessing they will do what they do for 0 gravity space scenes and add a water filter

Kevin Smith and Ben haven't spoken in like 10 years. Thought they were still on the phone weekly but nah lol
They basically parted ways when Ben got married

honestly, there isn't really a way to get around it. The underwater stuff would 90% be CGI models of the actors.
They're gonna have to do the dome thing for the cities too
