wtf...

Rating: 1/10 (25 August 2016)

My wife pretty much summed this movie up for me. She of course didn't pay attention and asked "Why are Batman and Superman fighting...aren't they both good?"
(Spoilerish) (not really more than a trailer) Initially I tried to actually answer the question, "Well if you were paying attention, Lex Luthor manipulated Batman into stealing some Kryptonite so he'd be able to kill Superman who has to fight him because...ugh...it's really damn stupid...but it's cool to see Batman and Superman fight..." (/Spoilerish)
Overall I could have given this a five, but then I had to subtract 10 for egregious use of Samsung Note shaky cam footage. Seriously...you couldn't afford real cameras? I can't fathom how a AAA budget allowed this kind of cinematography. It hurts...actual eye strain on a home projector. IMDb made me round up to a one.
Even more useless review crud:
Honestly the fight isn't great. It's OK. Ben Affleck is Batman...before it came out it seemed like the end of the world, but actually he was OK, and the flaws seemed to be in the script rather than his 'skill'. He could have been great as an old bitter "Dark Knight Returns" Batman, but they just missed.
Lex Luthor is awful...just awful. I think Eisenberg is a trash actor...not so trash he will never be relevant...one day he might...might...have a noteworthy sidekick role. Yah, that was optimism. However, the problem is that they have eternally ruined Superman's arch nemesis for this reboot. He could have done everything from behind the scenes...it would have been so much more interesting. Instead he's...uh...crazy...and stuff...and reveals the stuff...cuz that's what poor scripting does.
Oh btw if he dies in the end I don't know...wife made me turn it off so she could go to bed...my eyes are recovering. I will probably watch the end so I can see why:
(spoiler) lex's blood, plus dead Zod makes an alien, English- speaking spaceship that relies on fingerprint analysis that even modern earthlings reject as insecure somehow create (I'm guessing) Apocalypse. Cool. (/spoiler)
I'll probably watch the rest. I'm a gluten for punishment. The highlight might have been the Aquaman reveal. I don't like Aquaman.
Wonder woman is rather attractive. Maybe DC will redeem themselves and make the first decent superwoman movie...that's kind of a big deal nowadays right...girl power!
