Not Terrific. Not Terrible.

Rating: 7/10 (28 March 2016)

This movie is full of potential, but Snyder just didn't make it work. The biggest worry going into the film for me turned out to be it's biggest flaw too, it just had too much going on. DC are playing catchup with Marvel whether people like it or not, and that's clearly evident here. This movie was suffocated with so many different story lines that at times it became difficult to follow, I will say that the second half of the film was much superior as the narrative was narrowed down from various different story lines to just one. It felt like there was three films here, a Man of Steel sequel, a standalone Batman film, and of course a Batman v Superman film. I feel like DC should've waited at least another year before making this, that way they would've had time to develop certain characters further, mainly Batman and Superman, in their own respective films before putting them on screen together.
Despite this seemingly unorganised mess though I'm still hyped to see what DC has to offer. Seeing Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman team up on screen was really cool, so I can't wait to see how they fair in a film dedicated to them teaming up in the Justice League, I still feel like a 2017 release is too soon, but hyped nonetheless.
Speaking of Wonder Woman, I went in to the movie knowing nothing about her character and I came out intrigued, I want to get to know her, I want to see her origin story unfold on screen before me. I'm highly anticipating her 2017 movie more then any other comic movie at this point. Gal Dadot looks the part, she was good in the role so credit to her. Credit also to Ben Affleck, who many were worried about when initially cast as Batman. He did fantastic here and deserves all the praise he's getting.
I just hope now that DC can learn where they went wrong and build off it, they've got the potential to make a truly fascinating universe, and I look forward to seeing how they play it.
