I don't think this was a wretched POS.. But I think because it was so highly anticipated, and we've seen so many well done superhero movies, that this one had lofty expectations to live up to.
You can pick holes in most movies.. But there are some glaring holes in this one. The reason for the fight for starters and the resolution for the fight are just two big reasons this movie starts to fall for me. Add that to the goofy looking doomsday, the lack of humor, the dreary presentation, the annoying cuts and pacing issues.. You end up with a movie that because of expectations, falls even harder.
I've only seen it once and I'll probably download it when it's released digitally. But it won't change the fact that I only got a little bit of what I REALLY wanted to see.
And on the other hand you have a movie like civil war who presented the characters very well, the pacing and scenes were solid.. The reason for the fight made sense, and the plot of the movie was very interesting.
I think what really hurt this movie is that they introduced two new MAJOR characters, and still needed to include the established one. Had they built this up, given us a standalone batman movie and a standalone Wonder Woman movie prior to this, this movie would've benefitted greatly. It would've afforded them more time to build the conflict and resolve the conflict in this movie.
I'm not one of the people who hates anything DC.. I grew up with batman. I just think marvel came up with a great formula for introducing and using their heroes, and DC tried to do it in a different way with substandard results.
I'm still hopeful the DC universe can be turned around, and the majority of us can enjoy it without needing these debates. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
.. Also, this movie wasn't devoid of good things.. I thought affleck did a fantastic job, I really like him as batman and Bruce Wayne. The suit, the armored suit, the knightmare suit, the batmobile, and the batwing all looked really cool. What fight we actually did see between the two was really cool, and I was satisfied with the ending.
