What a mess!

Rating: 1/10 (30 March 2016)

This takes place 18 months after the events in "Man of Steel". Superman (Henry Cavill) is still around performing good deeds but people are unsure of him. Batman (Ben Affleck) especially doesn't like him. Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) discovers kryptonite--the one thing that can kill Superman. He wants to use it against him...but so doesn't Batman. Luthor also develops a monster called Doomsday that Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) have to battle before it destroys Metropolis.
What a waste! The script makes little sense and is slow-moving and dreary. There's plot holes big enough for the Batmobile and no real point. There's also these sequences where Supes and Bats are complaining and moping about being heroes. Since when have they been so whiny? The whole movie is depressing and needlessly violent. Acting doesn't help at all. Cavill is terrible as Superman. He LOOKS the part but always has a blank expression on his face. Eisenberg is even worse as Luthor. I still can't figure out WHAT the hell he was trying to do. He's not funny, cute, interesting or sinister. Just stupid and puzzling. Amy Adams is wasted as Lois Lane. She has nothing to do in this except get rescued by Superman. Only Gadot and Affleck (who's superb) give good performances. However they can't save the film and the plot really weighs down everything. By the time the big battle came by the end I was too bored to even care. Director Snyder knows how to direct action sequences but when it comes to dramatics he's clueless. A boring, depressing and utterly pointless movie. VERY disturbing ending too. Skip it.
