Solid And Confusing Blockbuster

Rating: 6/10 (27 March 2016)

A dark and grim superhero movie that does everything right except one thing. The cinematography is well done, so is the acting and the music. The 3-D conversion is also well done and really adds to many of the film's sequences, especially when the camera is slow moving or not moving giving the eyes time to focus and look around. At a 200 million to 300 million price tag one has to wonder why anyone would use a script that makes you feel like you are watching a sequel to a film that doesn't exist for nearly the first hour. Characters show up without introduction or without any clue of any sort and the audience is left to figure things out for themselves. Once the incoherent plot starts to somewhat gel the audience is then treated to clichéd TV plot elements here and there. It's a decent enough block buster even though Superman is often is left as merely a plot device and adding Wonder Woman towards the end makes very little sense. Big exciting film with a weak plot that's haphazardly implemented.
