Affleck and Cavill are perfect casting for an imperfect movie

Rating: 3/10 (3 May 2019)

Chritian Bale may have made it difficult (not impossible) to recast Wayne however I believe they pulled this off with Affleck. This man has the looks and brooding presence of his comic counterpart down! The same goes for Cavill. Again, by far the closest the film industry has come to matching what we see in the books. Having said that, this film fails in every other aspect. The writing is terrible, the effects are average compared to what movie goers expect these days. I think Zack Snyder was the wrong choice for this movie. Why the hell?! After 300, his movies have just been so bland! If Affleck and Cavill were given Different scripts and better/more creative direction then this could have broken records! Cavill, although a smart choice was partnered with the wooden, uninteresting Amy what's her face. Seriously, every time she came in screen it was time to pee just for something more interesting to do than watch a character that did not offer anything to the story. Don't get me started on Lex Luther, Jesse 'no talent' Eisenburg?! Really?!. The casting department needs to have a serious word with themselves about their future in this industry. How did they land on him as the best choice? I know it's a newer movie, but have you ever seen Vince Vaughn in "Brawl in cell block 99". There's your lex Luther right there! If thwy recast Luther and Lois, keep Snyder and his writers as far away from this franchise as possible, then, I might consider going to see the next movie with high hopes and smile on my face. Gal gadot is great also. Could be more authentically Amazonian but I'll let that slide if Eisenburg is nowhere to be seen. His awkward nerdy, querks are getting old. Not suited to a destinguished, confident, towering villain like Lex Luther. Maybe as his butler....just a thought
