The "comedy" could have easily been left out, which would have made it a better movieI disagree. Both Man of Steel and BvS were widely panned for being too serious and not much fun. DC really had to lighten their movies up a bit to keep up with Marvel.
Yes. But also, the comedy didn't feel like it was added in some formulaic manner. They made it an integral part of the story telling.
So we obviously have a difference of opinion here which I respect. However I think slowguy makes the point that the comedy was formulaic, i.e. it was necessary to make the movie successful to the masses. It needed to be "fun" to be successful. I think that's where the movie lost me. The comedy seemed like it was inserted because someone felt it was needed to sell tickets. Since the movie is a box office success I think the formula worked. Just not for me.
