Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (23 March 2016)

I went in with high hopes. The early buzz was good and the trailers looked good too. Unfortunately the movie learned nothing from Marvel's success. You can't have a 2.5 hour movie filled with wall to wall ominous music and no light or humorous moments. There were plenty of scenes for comic book fans to enjoy. But it is just far too depressing in tone for it to be a hit. The only reaction from the crowd in the theater was when Wonder Woman finally appeared in costume. This had already been shown in at least one trailer. So the fact that it is the only moment that got a reaction shows how desperate the audience was to find something to cheer.
I just don't get how they do such a fantastic job with their animated movies, but miss the mark completely with Superman movies.
