Despite a few bursts of fun here and there, it's painfully average.

Rating: 5/10 (20 December 2018)

I will just say that this movie is not terrible, so there's that. But it's literally just 2 hours of world building and CGI. It's boring. This is certainly one of the better DCEU movies in recent years, as it isn't as ridiculous as BVS and it isn't a broken dumpster fire like Suicide Squad, but at the same time, if the best DC has managed to do in recent years is this and Wonder Woman, which was only decent, then I don't think this cinematic universe thing is gonna take off. I get that quite a few people like this movie and in the end that's fine, but this movie made me incredibly bored by the half way point. And this movie tries to be retro a lot and while I appreciate the effort, it just came off as jarring.
It's an average movie with glimmers of a great one throughout, but they're only that. ''Glimmers''.
