Just really awful

Rating: 1/10 (18 July 2016)

Expect spoilers, I don't want to hold back. The writing and the general make of this turkey is just awful. Every other step is a violation of good story telling and the acting is pointless. There is so much wrong with this movie that I can hardly find a place to start. Especially considering that a lot of money and hype were pored into this, I feel like the criticism should match it, just for balance. Each of the characters was just wrong. OK, dark and brooding Batman sort of OK, but he is the detective, the smart one. He should have seen through the paper-thin plot first. There was clue after clue that he was being manipulated. He should have known he was being worked at least when Superman finally tells him. A man who had as much experience as he does with criminals should of been the first one to know. What I think happened here is that Affleck got stuck on brooding and forgot humans could have different emotions. Then apparently the guy playing Lex Luthor got mixed up with the Joker and tried to play the crazy card, and played it badly. The movie not only drags on and on, but the characters are boring beyond belief. I think I know what happened. Sometime, doing research for this movie, someone found out that the best selling DC comic was the Death of Superman and so decided to adapt it to screen. That what this basically is. But they forgot to notice that in that story there was already a well developed Justice League and that it is the ultimate heroism of Superman that caused his death. Here he doesn't even know the other heroes. So to that plot they slapped in the Batman vrs Superman fight, because why, because they, well ask them, it really makes no sense and has the flavor of being composed by a group of stoners who are randomly grabbing old comic books and pasting them together. People have always liked superheros because of the fantasy, this movie takes any sense of fantasy and stomps it into the ground with those lovely boots Batman wore. This could go on and on and I've seen that others have brought up multiple of other points. Ultimately this is just a mess. The lesson is, I think, that in order to make a 'blockbuster' you really should work just to make a good movie.
