Neither here nor there

Rating: 6/10 (13 May 2016)

I am a comics fan. Particularly DC comics universe. When Nolan released his take on Batman, I was thrilled. It was an amazing adaptation of the dark knight, which in turn featured on of the very best villains ever produced on screen. And of cause I'm talking about the Joker. Now this one was far from it. Granted, the director tried to go to different direction than highly appealing and successful Avengers universe, yet it seems he was torn between the comic book darker look and Nolan' dark knight.
Let's start with the plot, it full of so many holes and highly dumb decisions by its main heroes and villain, that even people that are far from the comic world, left confused at the very least. To name a few, why did Batman stopped when he heard the name Martha? ( and on this matter why did superman called his mother, Martha when he was about to die?) why did Luthor revealed himself to the superman who could easily have taken him out in advance and stop the destruction before the monster was made? Wonder woman looking for some old photograph (there are so meany look alike in the internet? Why didn't anyone other than some private divers inspected the huge alien spaceship? I mean the government first act to take it under control? And many many more.
Casting. In my opinion Luthor and Wonder Woman were horribly miscast. Lex looks like a beta version of Nolan' Joker (Sorry but Aisenberg can't pull it off anyhow), but in any case it's far from the iconic villain we learned to expect. Gadot simply can't pull off the beauty, grace and strength of Diana Prince. Absolutely. Afflek's Batman and Irons as Alfred, lack too many of qualities we learned to expect from the duo, therefore it was kind of boring to watch.
Oh, and I should mention that no one managed to show the character depth. It was really lacking in this department. It's hard to care for anyone in the movie.
CGI. It's good, as it was expected. And on the contrary to amazing Avengers fight scenes, this one went great lengths to show more of a supernatural fights.
In conclusion in my opinion the director should have taken notes from Nolan' Batman iconic trilogy or The Justice League cartoon Series. A true Gem on its own.
Hoping that suicide squad will improve the beloved universe.
