Tons of potential, wasted

Rating: 5/10 (26 March 2016)

Not a die-hard fan of comics or their movies but I typically enjoy them enough to make a point of going on opening night. The best part of this movie was Ben Affleck. Everything else missed the mark. The plot is jumbled and hard to follow. Great movies have remarkable story lines. This movie did not have anything close to that. Fight scenes and CGI graphics are not what make a movie great. I guess for some people that's what matters (Judging by the abundance of fanboy 10/10 reviews) but not for me. Now that all the die-hard fans have seen it and reviewed it, I expect typical people like myself will leave more objective reviews. The IMDb score will likely end up around a 6-7. I hope they find a way to get it right next time. I will not be showing up on opening night for it again.
