Disjointed and depressing

Rating: 3/10 (20 August 2016)

Acting - good; special effects and action sequences - great; Wonder Woman - amazing. Plot and story line - horrible.
In spite of the horribly disjointed script and twisted story line, all of the actors provided good performances. Especially well portrayed were Diana Prince (Gal Gadot), Alfred (Jeremy Irons), and Clark Kent (Henry Cavill). Worthy of note were Amy Adams, Diane Lane, and even Ben Afflack--Laurence Fishburn was under-used and his Perry White unfortunately lacking in depth. Even more unfortunate was Jesse Eisenburg's villain, who was so over the top insane, one must wonder how his Lex Luthor ever managed to stay out of the psych unit, much less build a major corporation.
I realize that the DC "Universe" is darker than the Marvel "Universe" but really people, let's at least give the next film a plot that adheres to at least some of the elements of good story telling.
