More Hollywood Special Effects Garbage.

Rating: 2/10 (27 July 2016)

You'd have to be Albert Einstein to figure out the convoluted, nonsensical plot line of this glacially-long, overly-priced turkey. What the director calls "dark," I describe as an endless Black Hole. Nothing works. A lousy, subpar script, unlikable and miscast actors like Holly Hunter on heavy medication with a Southern lisp that would make even Jodie Foster wince, along with an horrendously plain and boring Lois Lane, played by the most uninteresting, supremely unattractive actor on earth, Amy Adams. Watching Cavill and her interacting was as awful as watching your parents having sex. The only thing worse was watching an amped up teenager who played the role of Lex Luthor, Criminal Mastermind, when he would be much better cast as a deranged skateboarder on crack, stealing every riff he had from the superb Heath Ledger. The only saving grace to this exercise in wasting time and money are the mega bucks action scenes, which suddenly wake you from your coma, only to suffer through more bad acting until the next fight sequence. Add to this convoluted mish mosh of pseudo terrorists and CIA operatives, and that is essentially the movie. The "music" by Hans Zimmer was so bad, that it singlehandedly proved my point about the composer of the terrific "Gladiator" soundtrack, that he had obviously blown his wad the first time out, then took death dive in every film after that. He was strictly a one-hit wonder. It's as though the writer took every, single plot line from the local news, then tried to glue them all together in one, indiscernible, supremely unlikable film with nothing on earth going for it save the memories of the originals. Truth be told, the ONLY reason I watched this bad film was to check out the new Wonder Woman, played by an unknown Israel import, Gal Gadot. At least she might be fun to gawk at. But her inclusion was as mystifying as all the rest of this over-hyped excuse for a cartoon sequel. My only remaining question is how many steroids did the wooden Ben Affleck and equally unconvincing Henry Cavill take to get bulked fast enough for the start of production of this extremely boring film (available in an even more sleep inducing "Super Long Version)," and why did I EVER spend twenty bucks for the online purchase of this heartless, soulless, enormously stupid movie?? It bore no resemblance whatsoever to the actual Marvel Comics vision of these two super heroes, and if Bob Kane and Jerry Siegel could have seen this movie, they'd be turning over in their respective graves.
