Stop

Rating: 2/10 (28 February 2018)

If I were to say the biggest problem with this movie and its cult following (cult is a pretty accurate description of their behavior) is that this movie may be the most self-indulgent blockbuster ever made. It has Christ imagery that would make the Matrix look subtle by comparison, and sloppily tries to explore the themes of omni-benevolence vs omni-potency. It would be clever IF Zach Snyder wasn't five feet up his own ass and had any talent outside of adapting comic books panel by panel. Because of this, people who want to use the media they consume to make themselves to appear more intelligent without actually looking for truly thought provoking films will flock to this movie and claim everyone who doesn't like it is a "brain-dead retard", something that I've actually been called just for criticizing it. There are many, MANY other problems but the movie has rightfully been torn apart by critics in those regards so I won't go into detail. But this film's (and I don't use this word lightly) pretension makes the dumb mindless schlock far more unbearable by trying to make itself meaningful in the most shallow and sloppy way I have ever seen.
