What were they thinking?

Rating: 4/10 (6 November 2018)

As I've mentioned in previous reviews, the whole superhero genre isn't really my thing, but I'm always prepared to watch different movies. After suffering Suicide Squad, I was told this would be an improvement, that was bad, but this was plain awful.
Batman beating Superman up, oh please, was this written as a story, or just fanboy pleasing. I can imagine this having very limited appeal, to a specific set of people.
Some effects were great, some were pretty average. I didn't like the story at all, but worst of all was the horrific casting of Eisenberg, who I found almost unwatchable. They wanted to make Lex Luther loathsome, sure they managed without even trying. A Russian villain, how utterly and incredibly original, must have taken serious numbers of meetings to come up with that idea.
Henry Cavill does a fair job once again as Superman, but I think he's totally overshadowed by Ben Affleck, who's charismatic and still super buff.
Fan boy pleasing zzzzz 4/10
