This is not a movie. It is a product.

Rating: 3/10 (27 August 2016)

This is NOT a movie. It is a PRODUCT. The counter statement to this would be "almost all films are products", which is partially true. But the one thing that most well known/successful films have is: An artistic vision. Because in the end, that's what film is. An art form. Sure, a lot of artists worked on this film, but they are overshadowed by the enormous involvement from the studio.
I feel bad, because they'll be known for doing the visual effects, make up, any kind of contribution to this "film". Their work wasn't what brought this movie down. It was the writers, the director, & the studio who made this into the insult that it is.
Like with most films involved with pre-existing properties (especially comic book films & their cinematic universes), the studio that's in charge of funding attempts to change the vision of the filmmaker. This is something that happens regularly. I'm not a huge fan of them having such a big part in the decision making of the film, but I understand.
BUT, Warner Bros showed it's true colors with Zack Snyder. Zack, is known as a YES man. Agreeing to most things that a studio puts forward. So, Warner Bros tells Zack what they want in the film, no big deal. EXCEPT, Zach said yes. He said yes to a lot of it.
Showing that Warner Bros has absolutely no idea what they're doing. After recently seeing Suicide Squad, their input is also messing up the track record of directors. Regardless of their talents. Warner Bros should be ashamed of themselves.
