Promising premise with a messy resolution

Rating: 5/10 (11 March 2019)

Too many cooks in the kitchen. That's what happened here. When tragedy struck Zack Snyder's life, the producers of Warner Bros took it as an opportunity to change things around and deliver a product that would massively deviate from the tone and style used by Snyder in his previous entries in the DCEU and be a more fan-pleasing and aimed for mass consumption product. The problem is that by trying to blend together such contrasting filming styles, the final cut resulted in one of the most bizarre viewing experiences seen in a long time.
The first act of the movie, with the introduction of the main characters and the main threat, choppily edited though it may be, is competent enough. It's during the second and third acts, that the movie's problems become more glaring. Unfinished and rushed CGI, glaring photographic tones and poorly developed characters and story arcs, are the norm here. That being said, it turned out to be a more enjoyable experience than that of BvS (at least Superman behaves the way he's supposed to). It's just to bad that because of some Warner exec's decisions, the movie turned out to be such a shooting and editing mess, that'll probably cost the planned sequels to be shelved for a very long time.
