Style over substance

Rating: 3/10 (3 July 2016)

Finally watched this last night. I love films, especially sci-fi and superhero movies. Therefore, for me, I had high expectations. I was also a fan of the first film, which I thought they handled quite well.
This was one of the most boring films I have ever watched. It's tedious, it has no pace, no energy. It has whole plot lines that are unnecessary - how long did it take to set up the bullet story to get to the reveal?
By the time they got to the action I was almost asleep. I've seen masterpieces of cinema in the time this film takes to tell us over and over how angry Batman is. There was no tension, no suspense, no humour.
When the action finally, and I do mean finally, gets going I didn't care any more who won or lost. Even then it's a fairly dismissive fight, with a predictable outcome. The whole conclusion of the fight is just insulting to the viewer who at this point in the film (Ultimate Edition) has invested already about 2 hours 30 minutes.
Then there's the wallowing ending. I'm avoiding spoilers, but man do they wrap this up slowly.
I went to bed angry after watching this, and woke up angry this morning. Please don't watch this movie if you're a fan of superman, batman, superhero movies, or just movies in general.
