I know the reason this movie fails ...

Rating: 4/10 (28 October 2016)

OK so its many months later and no one cares about this movie anymore ..Good ..So I watch it again without all the hype and fuss to see if its really as bad as I remember ..and YES !! its even harder to watch ..Why ? I worked out why ..it's not obvious but I think I've nailed it ..its because of Zack !!
Zack Snyder was the wrong director for this.. He doesn't t love these characters - you can feel it with the lack of emotional detail in both SM & BM and pretty much the whole cast - he simply loves making cool movies and that's it - the focus in this movie is on the look more than the feel - style over content .. there's no depth to the characters no reason to care for them..
When Snyder did ' Watchmen' you could tell he loved making that film - he didn't miss a beat with the characters the pace the feel - you could even argue that it was a cinematic masterpiece ' but ..SM V BM is far from that .. superman /clark Kent has nothing to offer in as far as depth or realism - as superman he seems stiff and robot like as if Snyder just said 'Yea just do that face you do and look around - yea now look up and down ..yea that's cool ' ...he was stiff and wooden - plus Cavill is too short and hairy to be ' Superman' He's supposed to be at least 6 ' 3 he's an ALIEN for Christ's sake !!! (I thought that when I saw Man of Steel too )
Jeremy Irons doesn't fit !!! He could never do Alfred better than Michael Caine !! Impossible to follow a legend like that .. plus if you're updating Lex Luther -with someone like Jesse E' then update Alfred with someone younger and remix it a bit more -like the MARVEL guys do it - update ' everyone' to suit the time-line whether its past present or future - like Joker in Suicide Squad - he is the Joker of 2016 not 1982
I really felt Zack & Crew missed so many opportunities to make this work ...He simply didn't love doing this .. he loved the pay cheque ..and the cool action sequences.. but he didn't love these characters or the story enough to make this a credible movie ..such a waste ..
