I'm back
Let me just say a few things first. I went to see it at 2:15 pm and the theater was full of people and there was a huge line like I've never seen at my local theater...people of ALL ages and a lot of children. That didn't happen when I saw the Avengers or Star Wars. If this movie was great film...it could have been the biggest film ever.
Two things happen, which seems to be a common thing, people went crazy went Wonder Woman shows up and her theme was pretty bad-ass. The second thing, people clapped after the movie ended.
Now, as far as the movie goes....it's a HUGE mess of scenes and moments like I've never seen in a big budget summer film...it's like 5 movies in one. There's a MOS sequel, a Batman movie, a Lex Luthor film, a Justice League origin film, and a Batman vs Superman film...all within 2 and a half hours.
Having said that, there is so much good stuff in the film that it's actually worth watching...and I liked it. I will definitely watch the director's cut to see if the extra 30 minutes makes the film better, especially all the quick scenes and all those subplots, including Lex's goal. If it does make sense...then I have no problem with Snyder directing JL, but if it doesn't, then Snyder needs go, because JL can't be this messy.
I was disappointed by the "BIG" BVS showdown...it was a total let down. The only thing that worked, was how and why the fight ended. That was great, but the fight, completely forgettable. The final battle was much better, imo. It was pretty epic and I don't think I've ever seen such a display of god like powers by characters in a film before...it was like watching gods with unlimited powers fighting....pretty insane stuff.
So, I like the film, but I totally understand the criticism, although...calling it the worst superhero film ever and a terrible movie is too harsh, because there are enough good things and moments in it for it to be entertaining. It also had some humor...but not enough dialogue between Batman and Superman...they literally don't talk to each other...at all. Go see it, I give it a solid B- or a generous 6.8/10.
