Pleasantly surprised given the volume of negative reviews

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2016)

I really don't get the amount of negativity around this film. After 4 days of reading lots of reviews, I eventually managed to get to the cinema and was expecting to be as disappointed as many were describing. I am pleased to say that was not the case!
Admittedly, while the movie does have some faults I really enjoyed it and felt that most of the performances were really decent - Ben Affleck being a stand-out. It did jump about a bit from scene to scene but I didn't find it confusing or convoluted as some are describing and followed the story quite easily.
I wonder if some people are being negative because its the 'trendy' thing but for a movie about a fight between a flying all-powerful alien and a rich guy who dresses as a bat, I found it very entertaining.
