I blame Goyer and his script. Snyder is a great director in my opinion and Nolan hardly did anything on Man of Steel. The problem was story and I didn't enjoy any of it expect the beginning on krypton.
I mean, Kevin Costner sacrificed himself for a f**king dog?? Seriously??!! It is a small yet important scene, and it still bugs me.
p.s. Ben Affleck was the bomb in phantoms.
Seshido
I left the theater ranting about the exact same things you're talking about. I felt like Nolan thought he was making another Batman movie. I'm also not making a fuss about Ben Affleck as Batman. I'm more upset that they're making a sequel to this movie!
