I enjoyed both movies but both couldn't have been more different in their tone and pacing.

BvS was a dark, methodical movie that was made for fans of the graphic novels. As a result, it was loved by those who understood the source material and hated by casual fans who didn't understand this version of Batman. And of course the awful vendetta by the critics.

Civil War was well-paced, extremely fun, and paid homage to the source material but changed it up enough so it would be loved by all - comic readers and casual fans.

I guess if it's any consolation I'll be seeing Civil War for a 2nd time while I only saw BvS once.

No it wasn't. It's just a thing that Snyder thought would be cool, there's literally no other reasoning in his films. He's a capricious, mean-spirited manchild with a budget. And The Dark Knight Returns isn't nearly as dark some people like to think or remember. It's fun, exciting, and has heart and character - all be things that this piece of shite wasn't.

It was not methodical.

It was frantic and jumpy. They kept introducing characters and then ignoring them. Batman is THE ONLY CHARACTER with a viable and fleshed out motivation, and yet even that is flimsy.

There was no method or coherent plot.

Just alot of "well, this is happening now", and then Doomsday. Why Doomsday?

Because it [roll credits]. . .
