Don't understand critics hate

Rating: 7/10 (8 April 2016)

Reading the reviews I did, I half expected to want to flee the theater after fifteen minutes. Lo and behold, after half an hour, I saw nothing wrong with it, in fact, it felt like a nice way to weave the two characters together.
It's Zack Snyder and if you know his work, you should known what to expect. He does dark. Was he going to turn in a film with no shadow like the Avengers? likely not.
So instead of a carbon copy review of what I hated (which every critic seems to have jumped on), here is a list of what I enjoyed.
Henry Cavil. That's right. He played the inner conflict well.
Ben Affleck. The right choice for the dark knight.
Amy Adams. After seeing the trailer, I was convinced she wasn't going to work. I was wrong.
The battle sequences.
Now the bads: The CG monster at the end. Lame in every respect. Drew my attention to the fact that he never existed on the same set as the actors. I cannot stand fights where the two who are fighting never actually make physical contact with one another.
That's it. My biggest complaint was the how the bad guy looked and felt.
Don't be dissuaded by the reviews. See it for yourself. It's not a masterpiece, but it is well made and worth a watch.
