Do NOT watch if you're a Batman fan (SPOILERS!!)

Rating: 3/10 (23 July 2016)

Let me first say that I never write reviews for IMDb, but I rely on them heavily prior to watching movies on Netflix, etc. Why oh why didn't I read these reviews prior to?! This was so bad that I felt after 3 hours of my life was gone, I needed to rescue someone else.
I don't even know where to begin with this abomination. And yes this will have spoilers...
ACTORS I'm not fan of Ben Affleck. I don't absolutely hate him like some. I mean he was decent in...Boiler Room. But him being Batman almost made me not want to watch the film alone. Jesse Eisenberg as Lex was brutal to watch. I just kept seeing him as Mark Zuckerberg from The Social Network, hearing him as Blu from Rio and wanting him to disappear like Atlas from Now You See Me. Lex he is not; no matter how hard he tried (and he tried so hard). He's the type of actor you just wish someone would come along and stuff him into a locker. And Jeremy Irons I typically like, but I couldn't tell if this Alfred was a mentor or drunk. Really left me feeling confused.
Now the positives. Henry Cavill as Superman works for me. I grew up with Christopher Reeves, but Henry has won me over. Margot Kidder was a solid 2 so Amy would be probably a 4? At least they're moving in a positive direction. Jason Momoa as Aquaman whet my appetite and got me curious. And surprisingly I was skeptical of someone filling Lynda Carter's shoes as the previous attempt (Adrianne Palicki) was disturbing. But I actually liked Gal Gadot.
OUTFITS Yes this is petty. Superman's dark upgrade is slick. I also like the contemporary upgrade of Wonder Woman. Aquaman with his tribal tats looked slick. But then there's Batman. What in the world were they thinking? It looked bulky, the emblem was too big. It was absolutely awful. Looked like they picked it from a bargain bin at Big Lots.
PLOT I'm not a wordsmith like some of these reviewers. I'll just give my brief take. I'm a Batman fan. One of the things that made me like him, aside from his philanthropic efforts, was he was one of the lone superheros (that I'm aware of) with no superhuman abilities. Yet he used his intelligence to get out of situations. Now don't jump on me as I'm not huge into the comics, but I'd venture to say he was one of the smartest members of the Justice League. So you're trying to tell me that he couldn't figure out that Lex was manipulating him?
Then there was just stupid stuff. Batman branding villains. Really? Or Lois almost drowning. She gets rescued and she's passed out. She just comes to for some reason, tips her head, gives a dry cough (no water expelled), then looks lovingly into Superman's eyes. Just drama.
There was one scene that was mildly entertaining to me when Batman was fighting the goons to save Superman's mother. Even though the guy pulling the pin of the grenade and freezing reminded me of a scene from a Jackie Chan movie, I do enjoy watching Batman fight. Even if his bulky outfit makes him look like he should be holding a protein shake. Speaking of which...what was up with him doing the prison/garage cross-fit workout then going to fight Superman. That's all it takes?
Oh and let's take it one step further. We're supposed to believe you're enraged because you were a straight d*** from the rolling credits. You have all this pinned up anger, and all it took was him to whisper "Martha" and you two are best buds? And all this time I thought the secret password was "please"
Last gripe. The musical score left me so irritated and confused. Not sure what they were trying to convey. Wonder Woman comes out and they have a slick guitar riff. Then Superman tries to kill Doomsday and the music tries to reach an apex, but just ends with the fight. I guess that's how women feel when guys...don't follow through on their promises;
But what I will end this on a positive note. The all black Superman casket was quite dope. So they get at least a star for that!
