BvS, the only good part was Wonder Woman. I wish I had the editing chops and I would cut the movie to only scenes with Diana/WW and the fight scenes at the end.

I was thinking about this again and didn't want to gut the movie to the point where it was just a highlight reel of Gal Gadot.
I went ahead and made my own cut of the movie. I gutted the subplots involving Lois Lane's trip to Africa, the US government doubting Superman's intentions, and the Wayne Corp employee who was injured during the Superman vs Zod fight. I got rid of most of the first half hour and trimmed scenes involving Perry White shouting at or looking for Clark. I also trimmed the talking heads TV interviews that Zack Snyder sprinkled throughout the movie. My version is less than two hours and gets to the point a lot faster.
My version plays as follows:
1) Batman is investigating Lex Luthor's suspicious activities.
2) Superman/Clark Kent is investigating Batman's violent vigilantism.
3) Batman decides to challenge Superman only after Superman prevents him from stopping Luthor's weapons trafficking.
This makes all the events a lot more personal to each character and gives their actions immediate motivation rather than some vague mumbo jumbo about Superman's god-like relationship to the rest of the world.
