Anticlimactic

Rating: 6/10 (15 November 2019)

I enjoyed this more than I expected to based on reviews. The movie is long with a relatively complicated story but entertaining. The visuals/special effects are excellent, its action packed and has numerous great actors in it. I liked the beginning and middle. Flashbacks, rescues, differing philosophies about what kind of heroism is needed to protect the world, Lex Luther begins his reign.
The actual battle between Superman and Batman which the movie spends ages working up to is anticlimactic, coming to an abrupt end when they realize their mums have the same first name and they should be friends and work together. Huh really! The final battle with some giant kryptonite creature was also pretty dumb.
For some reason Wonderwoman shows up to help and there is a cameo from Aquamnan who I kept expecting to return at the end but guess Mamoa was busy. I struggled with Jesse Eisenberg as Luther, he just didn't work. Regarding the ending...I didn't see that coming.
