I found this article interesting. Batman V Superman fans say and insist this movie has a lot of hope.. I strongly disagree with that. Sure, the ending is pretty hopeful, but the journey and the execution? The majority of the film is not. Superman is too depressed in most of it, and no wonder why many general audiences didn't care for it. I think they expected more optimism from Superman. Batman too is very dark in it, but he is much darker than Supes in general. It's more his thing. I don't hate this movie. I like its ambition and some of the action is intense, but as a Superman fan, it leaves me disappointed.
Please read the whole article. I agree with most of it, except a few things.
"The world needs a more hopeful hero than we get in 'Batman v Superman'"
