You’re the first to mention in comments but take heart: our entire NY office chastised me after the fact. Never again! :)

Sorry for the confusion, was joking — Josh and Paul are not having surgery. I’ve cleaned up the wording to be clear.

This was the fourth take and I kept forgetting at least one or two films. I also forgot Doom on that one.

And since I feel like that is too harsh as is right now, I gotta say that it’s as visually stunning as you would expect from Zack Snyder and Christopher Nolan. Also the performances are great and the motives of each character convincing. Happy to see more Russell Crowe than I expected. I really liked the first two acts and definitely how some of the fights were portrayed. I’m just hung up on the collateral and that got me a big grumpy about the whole thing.

I’m so tired of New York Metropolis getting completely decimated in every movie. And after all is said and done, looking at the literal charred remains of a once-burgeoning city… the next scene we find Clark Kent starting his new job as a photographer at The Daily Planet. A completely unharmed Daily Planet with (as I’d like to recall) a view out in the city of skyscrapers that were not utterly decimated. How fast can someone rebuild a city? How are there not other ramifications?

And speaking of ramifications… Supes gets super upset over the idea of killing, it seems. But say nothing of incidental damage. Are we supposed to believe his fight in Kansas didn’t kill anyone in those adjacent storefronts? What does Supes think is gonna happen when he throws someone into a building or parking deck? Secondhand murder is probably cool.

It’s a “better” Superman movie and the idea of showing him as more vulnerable by merit of what he wants to protect is a powerful narrative… but by Act III he seems to think that tossing people into iconic architecture (as opposed to, say, a less densely-populated area) is A-OK.

TL;DR turn your brain off and it’s fun.
