Not Worth Watching Snyder's Ruin the DCEU!

Rating: 2/10 (21 November 2017)

So, I usually consider myself the most forgiving viewer when it comes to movies. I generally love a good plot, with good pace, good actors, great CGI, and good writers and director. This movie failed in every aspect except great CGI. The following are the reasons why.
1: Good Plot - While the concept of Steppenwolf coming to destroy the world could have been great, the introduction, and story line was a complete flop for me. It was tactlessly executed, and horribly rushed like the events of BvS.
2: Good Pace - There was only one pace and it didn't even slow down long enough for you to relate to the rushed origins of the new characters. The pace was so quick it felt like the director didn't even have a passion for it.
3: Good Actors - While Henry Cavill does still look the part of Supes, he did not deliver like he did in the past with the personality. Then you have actors like Ben Affleck who failed me in this film after I gave him the benefit of the doubt with BvS. Then you add Ezra Miller who should have never been cast as the Flash ever!!!!! (It doesn't help that I was angry when I heard the casting of Flash before production was Miller). Miller is a terrible Flash and the pointless attempts at humor didn't help. He was just as bad as the Flash as he was the hidden antagonist in Fantastic Beasts. Miller probably ruined this movie more for me than Snyder directing it (and Snyder is horrible with the DCEU). Also, although Jason Momoa is a great actor, he completely failed to embody Arthur Curry. Gal Gadot was as good as usual (even though Snyder held her back a lot in my opinion). The only character I think they got right at all was Cyborg, Ray Fisher was the perfect choice, and the portrayal was right up the ally for Victor Stone's accident aftermath personality (not enough to earn this category a point though).
4: Great CGI - The one area where the movie did not fail was with CGI. The action sequences were on point, and the powers looked great (well everyone's but the Flash's in my opinion, (way to much lightning)). But, great CGI is pointless without a good plot, and so this felt like the mindless destruction that occurred in Metropolis in Man of Steel.
5: Good Writers and Director - All the issues in the world of cinema stem from the creators. The writers belly flopped so hard, it felt like none of them could agree on the events or the tone. It also did not help the film bringing Joss Whedon in late in production to finish directing and rewriting a couple of cuts for Snyder's absence (Snyder's vision still failed me with his 80% execution as the director). And then... there is the greatest sin to the DCEU ever, Zack Snyder as the director. Snyder ruined the feel of these films; he set the wrong tone of the world, and he couldn't make a single character truly hit home with their comic book counterparts in any of his three films. I even gave Snyder a chance twice before this film because he was in control of my idols! Three strikes and he is out, I won't buy a ticket to another Snyder comic film ever again.
So, my overall rating for this film, based on the five categories I mentioned is a ".5" out of "5". Yes, even though I gave false credit in the past in hopes for a brighter future for the DCEU, I am no longer giving Snyder a chance. Snyder has ruined my favorite franchise of all time, and he can take a hike right next to M. Night Shyamalan for ruining Avatar Last Air Bender, and James Wong for ruining Dragonball. I wanted the DCEU to be better than Marvel, but my hats off to Disney, they know how to make comic books into films!
