Disappointing!

Rating: 6/10 (12 April 2016)

Having just come home from the cinema I've got to say that I was very disappointed with the movie! For starters the first hour of the movie was so boring that I actually nodded off 3 times! Now I don't know if I missed some important parts of the story during the few minutes I fell asleep each time but parts of it just didn't make any sense to me such as why Batman decided just as he was about to kill Superman to not kill him after all but to partner up to rescue Superman's mother. Then what was the point of introducing Aquaman??...I mean they just plonked a 30 second scene of Aquaman out of the blue for no apparent reason at all! Also are we expected to believe that Wonder Woman has been living in Gotham for all these years but never showed her face or suited up in the past?? The way she was introduced to the story just made no sense whatsoever! Then there was the scene of Superman hiking in Alaska or wherever it was it...I mean why would he be hiking and all wrapped up in warm clothing when he could've flown there and doesn't need all that warm clothing because he doesn't feel the cold!
Apart from the above holes and the boring first hour, when the action did start it was as good as you would expect. Ben Affleck did a good job as the new Batman although he did look quite old in some scenes. As a huge fan of the original Wonder Woman I was concerned with the choice of Gal Gadot to play her but she actually did a good job and Henry Cavill is definitely the best choice for Superman since Christopher Reeve.
I've rated the movie as a 6, being just above average but overall I was very disappointed with the movie and would personally recommend that you save your money and wait until it's available to rent rather than pay the extortionate cinema costs!
