While visually appealing the story and characters leave much to be desired.

Rating: 4/10 (25 March 2016)

While the movie was visually appealing it ultimately is burdened by a messy plot and shaky character development/motivation. With DC and Warner Brothers trying to make this movie the bedrock of a franchise, one can't help but feel that it places its successors on less than stable ground. Zach Snyder borrows heavily from about 3-4 different comic story lines/alternate universes and tries to squish them together in this thematic follow up to Man of Steel. Imagine those were all fruits to make a smoothie. He peeled them and put the bitter skin in the blender to make the smoothie instead of the meat of the fruit that makes them good. He threw that stuff away and while you could technically say that he stayed true to the idea of a fruity drink, in practice it doesn't taste as good.
