i was one disappointed with the lack of GL. If we have movies about the corps even better..
I was dissapointed as well, but Johns hard-on for Hal is so massive. Hell, he took his OCs, gave them a book, shuffled all the other Lanterns in one bi-monthly book and made Hal the "leader". He can't really play nice, is what I'm saying. I wouldn't expect John, Kyle or Guy anytime soon. We'll probably see Cruz to add to the diversity of the team, ala the current JL roster.
Well, to be fair, "Batman, Batman, Batman, everything is Batman" has been DC's moto for a while now...
Grrrrrrreat, now I have to buy it twice!
(Or thrice counting the Ultra HD!)
Superman looks like Dennis from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.

I'm just getting the one that comes in a paper bag.
I'm getting the one that comes inside a bag of rotten tomatoes.

I like quite a few of Snyder's films, but I want him far away from DC films after MoS and BvS.

As soon as I find a genie to grant me wishes, it's going to happen.
Good call. They should form a Death Metal boy band. 
Yep. They already have a dead guy in there, so it's only fitting...

All I cared about when watching Batman v Superman was:
1. Did it have an awesome Batman vs Superman fight? Yes.
2. Was Wonder Woman awesome? Yes.
3. Was Affleck's Batman cool? Hell yes.
4. Was I bored or annoyed with the rest? Nope.
So regardless of how messy or odd certain elements were the movie checked all the necessary boxes for me. It's a stylistic popcorn movie about guys in tights punching each other. It didn't need to solve all of my life's problems or heal my broken soul so rock piles and email attachments and a hamfisted funeral sequence are good for a chuckle and nothing to get worked up about.
Is it gravy and nerdtastic when a movie covers all bases like Civil War? Heck yeah. But still, it's all just an excuse to see guys and gals in fancy colors punching and zapping one another.

I'm gonna have to agree with that, in all honesty. I liked it. I saw it twice, but that was one too many times for me. I'll see the R-Cut once and that's it. It's a pop-corn flick, that's good for turning your mind off for a couple of hours. It's not intellectual cinema, it's not high art and it most certainly isn't a the legendary cbm many expected. It's an average movie, and a passable super-hero flick. But that's it, at least as far as I'm concerned...
That's something I wonder about for myself too. To me Zack Snyder movies pretty much always serve their purpose the first one or two times I see them. I've enjoyed sitting through all of his films, including Sucker Punch. But they do seem to have a shelf life that maxes out at about 2-4 viewings. I liked MOS, saw it in the theater, again on blu-ray, and then haven't been able to sit through it from beginning to end since. I'm hoping that once the warehouse and Doomsday fights of BvS become old hat that I'll still be inclined to revisit the film. We'll see.

I saw it twice too. The first time I could not believe what I was seeing, and the second time to verify if what I thought was true. As a whole I liked it. I enjoyed moments of it, and the rest just had me scratching my head at why would they edit, or do that.
