Flat

Rating: 7/10 (6 August 2018)

Two disclaimers: 1. I prefer Marvel(I collected Iron Man comics into my early 20s) and 2. I know very little of DC save for Batman and Superman.
Like many reviewers I think this film fell flat. As a movie it wasn't horrible. As a DCEU movie it didn't add much. It appears I'm one of the few people that actually enjoyed Batman v. Superman.
Anyways here's my 2 cents:
Plot: like many others have mentioned it felt far too similar to Avengers (otherworldly devices opening portals, bug demons rather than aliens, a god-like supervillain). I would have thought they'd go out of their way to avoid this, but apparently not.
Characters:
Batman: he felt a lot less badass in this one than BvS. Maybe this was because of all the powerful allies around him.
Wonderwoman: She remained the same from her solo movie and she might be the only actor that got their character "right".
Aquaman: after all the disrespect this character has taken (from Family Guy to Big Bang Theory) it seemed like they tried too hard to make him a badass.
Cyborg: very flat. His suit dictating some of actions seemed kind of silly.
Flash: far too boy scout-ish. Obviously the comic relief.
Superman: probably the second best acted character in the movie. His rebirth was actually kind of cool (I know most hated it) but I agree with another reviewer that he should have stayed dead for a few movies.
Steppenwolf: quite possibly the worst villain they could have chosen. He's the Loki with no personality and his references to "mother" and Darkseid make no sense to casual movie goers.
Synopsis: it's not a horrible movie just a horrible movie in this series IMO. Maybe the next WW movie and the Aquaman movie bring life back to this franchise.
