I walked away a bit let down to be honest

Rating: 5/10 (25 March 2016)

I don't know maybe I was expecting too much. I hands up confess I am not a massive fan of DC comics. But I have dipped in to Superman and Batman story arcs over the years. Simply put the film is way too long (2 hours 40 minutes) and for me it really seemed to drag. The story is simple, All is cosy and then Superman turns up with the kryptonians and General Zod etc (the film follows directly on from Man of Steel which I enjoyed) Essentially you see Batman having a certain distrust towards Superman and basically thinks he's a killer (all of this is orchestrated by Lex Luthor of course) and he essentially wants the Dark Knight and the last son of Krypton to do battle. It happens but takes most of the film to get there. Also Doomsday turns up but it is spliced from General Zod and Lex's blood. Lots of CGI (some of it terrible, you'll see). Also a small cameo for Wonder Woman amongst others who is barely used at all. I just think for what they spent on this movie it could have had more story and substance and been better. I'm going to sound like a hypocrite here but I am going to see this again with one of my best friends and see if maybe I enjoy it more this time around. Like I said I felt a bit let down.
No to be honest I still found this a little (lot) dragged out, and I still felt very unsatisfied by the whole experience. This movie will probably make it's money back simply because there is no competition now (no Star Wars etc) but the box office takings according to the online press have nose dived a drastic amount after the opening weekend. I'm trying not to be a nay sayer and doom and gloom here because i love and watch all types of movies but this one just feels over hyped.
