Worse than I expected

Rating: 2/10 (27 April 2016)

When I first heard Ben was playing Batman I had the same reaction most people did. Right away I assumed it would be crap, but then after awhile I started thinking, "well the last Christopher Nolan Batman was so good, and the Superman movie wasn't too terrible, and with all the good Marvel movies maybe they will actually pull this off." They didn't. They just kind of jumped right into things. No explanation for things. The story is just not put together well. The "creation" of Doomsday was just plain stupid. And all of a sudden Wonder Woman is just there like "oh hey guys i'm gonna join you now" Just an overall bad story with little explanation. I understand these kinds of movies have to cater to both children and adults, which is a very hard balance to find. Inevitably if you're catering to children, adults are going to be somewhat disappointed. The recent Marvel movies seem to have found a good balance. I feel like this Batman v Superman movie might just seem like it caters more to children because the story line is just so silly only a child could enjoy it. I hate to keep comparing to the Avengers franchise, but that's technically the equivalent as DC builds up to the Justice League movie. I like how Marvel did the solo movies first then built up to The Avengers. DC kind of did that with Man of Steel, and then adding in Batman and Wonder Woman in this movie, but it just seems like they rushed it big time. It's not Batman & Robin 1997 bad, but this does not hold up to today's comic book movie standards. It really sucks to think that this is just the beginning and this is going to be the foundation for the future of the Justice League. I'm not giving it a 1/10 rating because I did actually sit through the whole movie.
