An overall boring and awful movie

Rating: 3/10 (24 March 2016)

I feel like I am really going out on a limb here, giving this movie even 3 / 10. Firstly, let me say I am not a fanboy of any particular comic book or comic book universe. If a movie is good, I like it.
This movie is not good. It wasn't even entertaining. I was bored out of my mind and if not for the fact that I was in a crowded theater, I would have just been on my phone reading something - anything - on the internet to pass the time.
Neither character was anything even close to being true to the comics. The story itself was pretty much non-existent and the plot, if you can call it that, was barely even present. There were references to MoS and I presume the previous Batman trilogy that should have had far more explanation to it. I say presume because I'm not even really sure that the universe from the Batman Trilogy is the same universe as this one. I'd have to think it isn't except they showed a few scenes that made me question that. Very confusing to say the least. Also, every single dialogue scene felt rushed and incomplete, almost as if they cut about 90% of the conversations from the movie in order to make it shorter.
Instead of dialogue, the audience was told how to feel via the music. You knew it was a dramatic moment or something "sinister" was about to happen because the music would very flatly and plainly tell you. It was almost insulting - to think that the audience shouldn't know how to feel during a moment in a movie. But that could also be due to the horrible writing and directing.
Just an absolute mess of a movie all around with very little redeeming qualities.
