Had to weigh in here

Rating: 7/10 (1 April 2016)

I cannot remember seeing so many divided reviews. I rate many movies on IMDb but have never written a review, had to for this one.
In my opinion I think we have reached the point where comic book movies have saturated the market. I get the negativity around this movie but I don't understand how it is so drastic. If this movie had come out a few years earlier it probably would have received Better reviews.
I enjoyed this movie as I went in with low expectations like I did with Avengers. It is a tough balancing act having some many characters in one movie so you cannot expect perfection. The movie was a mess but there were a lot of great moments in the film as well. I admire Snyder and the writers for being different than Marvel. Snyder was handed a difficult task to try and setup up a new universe in one movie. If you enjoyed Watchmen and Man of Steel you will like this movie.
In the end this was a Batman and Superman movie with high expectations. No matter who played the characters or directed this film there would have been controversy. You cannot please everyone. My advice: Go see it for yourself. Like it or not I don't think you will leave thinking it was a waste of time. Unless you are tired of Superhero movies.
