I like everything about it besides the plunge into "reality" with the acknowledged deaths of thousands of innocent bystanders.
Zack Snyder does the one thing that pulls the movie out of fun and into a level of self-worth that almost completely undermines the entire concept of Superman. He did the same thing to Batman. You need a bit of a cheeky wink to camera that lets you know you're ok every now and then. Zack Snyder exchanged the winks for more carnage.
It's a decent film but I don't think Snyder knows how to use comic characters. He's still stuck in Watchmen mode where everything has to die horribly and nobody cracks an honest smile.
He at least had plenty of laughs in Justice League which was actually the only thing that saved it from a negative review. Ezra Miller saved an entire movie that Zack Snyder tried his best to destroy.
