The Joker actually says this in the trailer...
 
Meh. That's really the strongest reaction I can build up to the trailer.
 
I think the biggest problem, is that he's just trying way to hard to make this seem like a big important movie, when it's just a bunch of people in goofy costumes, and over the top CGI mo-cap punching each other in the face for four hours.
That's why the Marvel movies and DC movies like Aquaman and Birds of Prey work so much better for than Snyder's stuff. They actually embrace the goofyness of their premise and have fun with it, while Snyder takes it way, way to seriously.
 
I have to confess, despite my comments on the trailer, I am probably going to watch this once I go back to HBO Max. I am curious to see how different it is from the other guy's version, and to see how the arc that started with Man of Steel and Batman v Superman was originally supposed to end.
 
I watched the extended version of Batman v. Superman last night.

3 hours.

Everything made a lot more sense, and nothing made me violent.

Superheroes are not comedies, nor serio-comedies. The failing of most of the MCU and older crap such as the George Reeves Superman TV series or Reeve's Superman III and IV, is that if the content is treated as a tongue-in cheek joke (or attempting to fulfill the Daddy needs of certain audience members) instead of how it should be, the audience will find it lacking or pointless and ages badly out of the gates.

The effects look good to me.

Certainly more realistic than the cartoony crap seen in the last two Avengers movies. Not once did Thanos, Hulk and so much else look like anything other than painfully obvious CG.
 
A lot of theories out there that this whole project is a massive troll by Snyder. He's been reading all the criticism of his style, and basically intentionally went peak Snyder to piss off the haters.
