Banal and boring

Rating: 4/10 (15 December 2018)

I really hoped that James Wan would bring something new into this franchise. But, no. The film is extremely formulaic, lacks character development and even the dialogues are cringe worthy. The jokes fell flat. I was hoping until the climax that something would happen that would be a surprise. But, James Wan gives nothing of that sort in this movie. The visuals have been wasted. An emotional, character driven story could have been told. In the end, we get a shallow and boring film that relies too much on action sequences rather than its characters to carry the story forward. Nevertheless, it is an improvement over other DC films.
