A lot of people don't like Whedon either though, so I reckon it's a crapshoot depending on who you talk to. I think one reason why Marvel is better is because the studio doesn't try to micromanage every single thing. DC has good actors for their movies (so far) so it's not that. Their biggest problem is they're trying to play catch-up and rushing everything and it's obvious and it makes for bad movies. Or not quite good ones.

You and I can disagree on the bolded part. Jesse Eisenberg was a terrible choice to play Lex Luthor in Batman vs. Superman. He looked or acted nothing like Luthor. Although Ezra Miller is a good actor, casting him to play a superhero is ridiculous. He looks nothing like what the character of Flash, is supposed to be. Ben Affleck's performance of Batman is laughable. He's trying so hard to use the "Christian Bale voice" that it's obvious he's blatantly ripping off Bale's performance. Finally, Henry Cavill is about as wooden and stoic as they come. He actually made Superman boring. He has no personality and brought absolutely nothing to the character.

I didn't say the actors were fantastic in their parts, I just said they're good actors. My bad.  I'm not a comic reader so I don't really get caught up in the comparisons of the comic version vs the movie version. That being said, I agree Eisenberg was not a good choice. His version is not what I picture at all when I think of the character of LL. I only know Flash from the few times I've seen him on Arrow so I don't know anything about him.
