So, I saw Batman v Superman Thursday night as early as possible, praying in my heart of hearts that I'd love it and I could write a nice, positive article about it.

Yeah"¦That didn't happen. Someone else here at the site wrote an "in defense of" article and if you don't want to read an aggressively negative review, go read that one. But I'm angry, and, unlike most people, I have a platform to vent on this.

Now, I feel I should right up front be honest with you guys: I really really hated Man of Steel. Like, I thought Man of Steel was the cinematic equivalent of a garbage fire, and I would rather endure an appendectomy twice over than ever subject myself to viewing it again. Man of Steel is a Superman film by and for people who hate Superman. I haven't seen a worse misunderstanding of a character since"¦well, I was going to say since Batman and Robin, but Batman and Robin actually was less offensive as a film.

There, are they gone? All the "if you say bad things about a movie I like, I'mma send you death threats and mean, poorly spelled comments" people, the manchildren; have they gone off to send me mean comments and death threats?

Good.

Now I can just talk to you guys, the people who: A. Agree with me about the extremely low quality of these movies; or B. Like both movies, but are actual adults who understand that me not liking a movie is by no means a condemnation of you or your taste. If you like the movie, awesome, I'm happy for you. I wanted to like it too, but I found myself unable to. Here's why.
