Ultimate Justice

Rating: 6/10 (8 August 2016)

It may Dawn on some, that this is darker than your average Marvel movie (yes pun intended). And whomever watches this, can decide (be the Jury) and do this movie a justice of his or her own. But enough of the puns, because while the Suicide Squad at least looks like it will be funny (still dark hopefully), this has almost no fun at all. Unless you count a writing on the wall in Latin, where Snyder makes fun of the Watchmen (or rather his own take/movie of it, probably).
Of course that and some other things may go over the head of some. And if you haven't seen the extended cut, my understanding is that the movie will make less sense. So I did only watch the 3 hours cut. And it was OK. But while Batman (and Affleck is the best thing in this, period!) is brooding and he is supposed to be that way, Superman at least should be much more than a mope ... Also there is not enough Batman in here. But I am excited about the Batman standalone movie. Visually of course Gal Gadot is stunning. When she opens her mouth on the other hand ... well let's just say you'll either find her accent enticing or ridiculous. (Un)Fortunately she doesn't have that much to say.
Her training paid off though, and the action scenes are really good. But we didn't expect anything less from a Zack Snyder movie. The major issue here (apart from the missing lightness, it's just too heavy and too serious for its own good), is that it has major plot holes and major logical errors (why did you say that name ... really? First of all you would state the relationship rather than a name in a situation like this and not the first name of the person you're trying to save, second of all: Really?). While not funny, there are many moments that are clearly ridiculous to say the least ... I really wanted to like this more. Especially because of the beating it got by the critics ... but foreshadowing aside, if you watch the Honest Trailer for this, it will be an eye opener!
