Not Amazing, But Definitely Not Terrible

Rating: 5/10 (6 May 2016)

I thought that this movie was OK. It is not great, but not bad either. There are so many cool things about it, but a lot of pointless things that brought it down a little bit. But this is in no way deserving of a 28% on Rotten Tomatoes, that is way too harsh, especially when I thought it was a step up from Man of Steel. I'm not a fan of either DC or Marvel, but I definitely thought this was better than most of the Marvel Movies (exceptions being the newly released Civil War, Ant Man, and Age of Ultron)
First off, the action scenes in this movie were spectacular (except the one with Doomsday). Especially the ones with Batman (I may be in the unpopular opinion here, but I did not like Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne at all. But as Batman in the fighting scenes, he was awesome.) His Bruce Wayne wasn't anywhere close to Christian Bale's in the Dark Knight movies. I don't know if anybody will be able to top Christian Bale, so maybe it's a little unfair to compare Affleck to him. Maybe with further films in the franchise I'll like him more.
Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman) is AMAZING. She was by far the best casting choice in the movie. Her scenes were great and she really holds her own against the other actors in the movie. I'm excited to see what will come from her in the future movies.
Jesse Eisenberg (Lex Luthor) had so much potential to be a great character. He was a little over the top at times, but I didn't think he was as bad as everyone else thought.
The whole setup for Batman and Superman to fight seemed pointless. They fought for like 2 minutes and then Batman found out that Superman's mother's name was also Martha, and then suddenly they're best friends? I thought that was stupid. There could have been a better reason for them to reconcile, or even fight at all in the first place.
The Dream sequences were HORRIBLE. They distracted from the real plot and I just thought that they were so out of place. The use of CGI on Doomsday was too much. They shouldn't have even added Doomsday in the movie at all.
The Dark Knight movies were amazing and so this movie kind of felt like a disappointment compared to them.
I'm hoping for better movies in the future, but they need to get rid of Zack Snyder as the director for the Justice League. These movies have so much potential to be amazing, and I have really high hopes with Suicide Squad. Hopefully DC will step up their game! 6/10
