I just watched the 3 hours of the "ultimate" edition. Man, that felt so forced, with Bruce/Batman in particular shoved into a flat mould of angst and hatred, which later magically dissipates with one word (Martha). Perry White becomes the asshole editor from the Spiderman world all of a sudden. Then the John Boorman's Excalibur moment ("come father, let us embrace at last"), followed by the bagpipes right out of the end of Start Trek II. Aee! Not my cup of tea. Shock and awe on the audience is the thing now? Oh, but the split-second of dirt bouncing, before cutting abruptly to black. Ooo! Let's hang on that cliff for another year or two! Bah! Humbug!
The action was awesome, though. I have to give them that.
