Implausible and boring

Rating: 3/10 (30 March 2016)

I was pleased when I heard Ben Affleck was going to be the new Batman and in this film I think he does a good job. I can't think of an actor working today who looks more like how I imagine Batman. Unfortunately he's stuck in this horrible mess of a movie.
Good points - As well as Affleck who does wonders with no decent dialogue, Wonder Woman is also very good but she's not in it much. In fact if you've seen the trailer you've seen the best bits of her. And that's it really. I can't think of anything else that's good about this film.
Bad points - Jessie Eisenberg is terrible as Lex Luthor. Seems like he thought he was playing the part of the Joker. He's all nervous ticks and zany humour (none of which is funny). Lois Lane has nothing of any interest to do other than be saved by Superman once every half hour. And as for Superman, well he's just miserable which doesn't help when he's played by an actor who has no range. He doesn't come across as a good guy at all. Where I could accept Batman being angry and vengeful all the time, Superman is supposed to be more of a clean cut guy with morals. Cavill's Superman cares not a jot if hundreds of innocent people die as long as Lois is okay. Then there's the script. It makes no sense. There are so many occasions when characters do things without reason or motive. Such as why Lex Luthor creates Doomsday. There is no explanation about why he would do this, or what he will gain from it.
And finally there's the three dream sequences that seem to have been inserted into the movie just because they look awesome. They might as well have stuck in the opening scene of the Star Destroyer in Star Wars just because it looks good, then cut to Ben Affleck waking up in a cold sweat because he's had another irrelevant dream.
If Zack Snyder continues to direct these movies I'll be checking out. Let's hope Suicide Squad helps to erase the memory of this appalling excuse for a movie.
