This movie leaves me conflicted.

Rating: 5/10 (6 January 2019)

Conflicted is the only word that adequately sums this movie up. There's moments that are breathtaking, visually stunning, with great acting and a fantastic soundtrack. Just as you're starting to escape into this reality, something will happen that makes this movie feel like the worst spoof film made. (Naming the films they spoof will one day be a great drinking game). I wanted so badly for this movie to be fantastic - but other than a few glimpses of what it could have been, it's not even close.
The only real way to appropriately describe this movie is like a restaurant wanting to make a signature dish and deciding that because people like burgers, steaks, pasta and pizza, oh and who doesn't love milkshakes; so for their signature dish they decide just to mix all these elements together and throw them in a blender.
I really wanted this movie to be the step that DC needed to launch their cinematic universe and properly showcase their catalogue of characters, unfortunately it looks like my DC universe ended with the Dark Knight Rises.
