Zack Snyder's worst movie ever.

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2016)

Let me start off by saying 2 things:
1. I am a huge Zack Snyder fan. Watchmen is my favorite comic book movie of all time, and 300 and Man of Steel were great as well.
2. This is one of the few comic book movies where I actually read the book prior to seeing the movie.
Now for the review.
Having read the book, I didn't walk into the movie with very high hopes. The story was pretty basic (in the book as well as the movie) and the only character whose actor portrayal I like is Henry Cavill as Superman. I am not a huge fan of Ben Affleck, and although Gal Gadot is a good actress, I don't think she's right for the part of Wonder Woman. So, my first complaint was simply casting.
The next thing that went wrong was the story. As I said it was pretty basic. Batman is afraid of the unknown (Superman's power) and wants to keep Gotham safe; Really not much of a story. And I won't spoil how, but it deviated from the comic quite a bit (especially the ending).
The biggest problem I felt this movie had, was pacing/time. Me and my dad looked at each other after the first hour, and both unanimously said how bored we were. Honestly, only the last (approximately) 45 minutes were good. (Again so as not to spoil anything) it got good after Lex Luthor "threatened" Superman. I can't justify ever purchasing a movie on Blu-ray/DVD only to watch the last 45 minutes.
Final verdict: I give the movie 3 stars for 2 reasons: 1. Zack Snyder, Henry Cavill and some good action/special effects (1 star each). 2. As I said previously, I enjoyed about the last third of the movie, so that equates to about 3/10 stars in my book.
Zack tried to make an epic journey/story which has never been done in comic movies before, and it fell flat on it's face. Is it worth the money to see at theaters? To some, yes. Is it worth the TIME (2 and 1/2 hours? Definitely NO!
PS - Parts of the movie seemed like one big advertisement for the next 6 DC movies: Aquaman, Cyborg, Flash, Wonder Woman and Justice League parts 1 & 2. So essentially, you're paying whatever obscene amount of money your theater charges and watching a 2 and 1/2 hour advertisement.
I recently purchased the Ultimate Edition of BVS on Blu-ray (for $15 at Wal-mart!?) and watched the extended cut. I don't know if it's just one of those "gotta see it more than once" movies, or if it was simply because it was the extended cut rather than the theatrical, but this time around my dad and I actually liked it! Still not the best superhero movie, but I retract my previous statement of it being "the worst movie ever".
NEW VERDICT: THEATRICAL VERSION: Still a 3/10
EXTENDED CUT: 7/10
OVERALL RATING: 5/10
