Disappointing, forgettable mess. Another Fantastic Four bore fest.

Rating: 4/10 (23 March 2016)

The movie feels like watching a kid with ADD, rushing through setting up all the characters and jumping all over the place, and yet dragging on forever until we get to the fight scenes which I felt were too short.
Most of the conflicts in the movie can be resolved by opening their mouths and talking, but in a contrived plot device they don't. These 2 bad asses that should sympathize with each other are instead fighting each other without ever discussing anything. Everyone's motivation is either not developed or just outright dumb.
The other characters fall victim to the same problem. The US government sets off a nuke above the atmosphere with no casualties? I'm pretty sure the end of civilization as we know would produce some casualties. Perhaps it's one of those NON-EMP nukes of the alternate universe. Only takes the movie about 40 seconds to make that decision from order to launch. I'm not sure Armageddon can be started quite that quickly.
The other is moment that annoyed me was Batman taking 2 shots to the back of the head point blank and continuing to fight. Even if his outfit is bullet proof that doesn't prevent the kinetic energy of the bullet from hitting his head. The fool should be out cold, possibly dead.
Last point, Superman dying is undermined by the fact that he is an idiot, just give the cryptonite to wonderwoman or batman. Why on earth would he personally use it, basically reducing himself to Batman level and resulting in a pointless sacrifice.
The problem is that you aren't invested in any of these characters, they are so dumb it's hard to empathize with their actions. Without having a prior attachment to them as comic book fans may, I just didn't care.
I saw this in a private screening at IMAX with a full house of 500. There was no applause the audience was clearly disappointed, and only 8 people myself included stuck around through the credits to get the shaft.
My feeling on this one is 4/10.
