Lots of effects with taped together story

Rating: 1/10 (24 March 2016)

There is lot going on visually, but the characters seem completely changed from the comic books and the story itself is barely holding together. It is trying to fit too many things in. Introduce the Justice League, show the S v B conflict, show some character backgrounds etc. All together an awful movie.
There were similar problems in Man of steel when they are trying to fit in lots of character background and then the actual confrontation, but neither is done well enough or connected well enough in the story to make an impact. Add to that the changes in character in Superman and Batman. For some reason Batman is now fine with killing people indiscriminately etc. Based on the interviews I've read I am not expecting this kind of changes to stop. Snyder doesn't seem to have a firm grasp on the characters or the stories. I think he'd be better suited to concentrate on the special effects only since that is the only part of the movie that works. Unfortunately that wasn't enough to save the mistakes with the story.
