Disappointment

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2017)

Major Spoiler Warning: The movie was a disappointment. Even though the entry of the characters, especially Batman, Wonder Woman and SteppenWolf were great and cool, the others did not get such flashy introduction. I personally liked the fact that the scenes quickly changed, like we were getting a quick intro. But most of the scenes were cut and rushed and this had a devastating effect on the film. Superhero movies have two main elements: action and scores. The actions were slow, inconsistent, pathetically choreographed and very very brief. The actions of BvS were far superior than this. The scores were extremely bad, even worse than Suicide Squad. To make things worse, the villain's powers was very very unclear. All he did was swing his axe...and nothing. Sometimes he was seen taking over other superheroes, sometimes he was beaten by a single punch. And he got beaten just by a single punch by Superman and by getting his axe destroyed...WTF?! SteppenWolf, as a villain, doesn't stand a chance in front of DoomsDay. I don't have any complaints about CGI or the plot, since it is a common feature of a superhero film. I personally found the CGI better than Thor Ragnarok and the plot fancy. I also liked the colour scheme of the film, initially dark, then light when Superman arrives, and then, during the fight with SteppenWolf (though there was not much of a fight), red. I found Aquaman kinda annoying; Flash was good but was portrayed too slow. He is a lot faster than is shown in the film. Cyborg was good and had a lot of potential for development. The biggest problem with the movie, I would agree with other critics, was the fact that such a long movie was edited so much and fitted into a 2 hour time-frame, which is ridiculously short for a movie having so many characters. Many of its major scenes and dialogues was deleted, which was again a downer. Another disappointment was the acting. Everyone, in my opinion, was a B-grade actor. Overall, the film, although enjoyable, had a lot of flaws, was an utter disappointment, was extremely rushed, and had very brief action scenes which was the biggest downer for me.
