A Beautiful Mess

Rating: 6/10 (31 March 2016)

SPOILERS AHEAD**** First of all i have a lot of problems with this film but there is so much to love about it. Overall, the film is actually decent. My first part of discussion in this review is about the director. Zack Snyder messed up in terms of storytelling. Transitions, to dream sequences, it all seemed too quick and rushed. I understand that they had a lot of footage but the movie could have been more organized. It threw me off due to the fact that there was no fluidity or great build up to what i believe, he wanted to give the fans. My other issue, one specific dream sequence was when (spoiler warning once again) Superman speaks to his dad on a mountain. Yup, this was unclear and random as it can get. No transition prepared me for it and it all seemed to weird and off. Completely unnecessary and did not develop the characters or the story whatsoever. The dream sequences were not "unnecessary" but they did need better introductions and executions because it did confuse the audience. Things seemed abrupt and once again. The storytelling is part of that issue. MY LAST issue, Jessie Eisenberg almost ruined the entire movie for me and it was the most annoying acting i have ever seen (forgive me for the immature rant) we have firkin Lex Luthor being played by someone who did not even EXECUTe the character enough for me to be like "Lex Luthor is a bad guy who is evil ballbaba," instead, i was just annoyed.. Do not get me wrong! Jessie is a great actor, but he just played this role terribly. NOW. The good stuff! The movie is visually stunning. The action is AMAZING, The Batman Superman fight was worth the hype, the Doomsday versus batman superman and wonder woman was badass and perfect, the batman versus the thugs in the warehouse was simply amazing. Besides the amazing action, in terms of standout actors and characters. Batman, played by Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot, playing Wonder Woman were the two characters and heroes that really stood out for me. They both played their characters well. PERFECT. Sadly, Superman was not terrible (played by Henry Cavill) wasn't as great as i wanted him to. He just didn't seem as interesting, his presence just seemed a bit short in the film. Why do i give this movie a 7? Well, it's not terrible. I think it had too much to hold as a 2 hour and 30 min film, so it couldn't balance things out. I wish it was way better but overall i can't lie that i didn't enjoy it. It was great in terms of starting the DC universe into the big screen. Looking forward to the Justice League.
7/10-"Not as bad as you think! Worth the watch!!!"
