Snyder misses the mark yet again

Rating: 4/10 (28 March 2016)

Just as with every previous film, Snyder's grandiose visuals supersede and essentially suffocate any opportunities for intriguing plot, character development, or anything beyond CGI extravagance. The film presented too much and not enough simultaneously. The visual effects, dream sequences, and other traditional tropes of an action drama stood in the way of getting to know or care much about what is going on in this "universe."
PROS - Ben Affleck was a decent Bruce Wayne / Batman. - Henry Cavill remains a solid choice for Superman. - Aqua Man was barely shown. - Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburn, and Jeremy Irons were all solid in their minor roles. - If you're into special effects, you'll probably enjoy the absurd amount showcased in this film.
CONS - Jesse Eisenberg - Snyder apparently forgot that Batman does NOT kill people - The "battle" between Batman and Superman lasted approximately five minutes of the 151 minute run time. - Batman's origin story is repeated and used to accent a major point within the film. - Far too much focus on Lois Lane (three heroes and she still shows up and plays a role in nearly every major battle sequence) - Lack of story and character development - Various plot holes - Ad naseum...
This is likely the last superhero film I will waste my time viewing, as the superhero "team" concept is already abysmal. Showcasing numerous heroes / super humans in one film takes away from the development, and therefore, the connection to the hero. "Oh well" says Hollywood; we're still making a killing!
