Better than BvS

Rating: 6/10 (22 November 2017)

Just saw the movie and here's the main non-spoiler summary of things to take from it;
Pros:

It was better than BvS. Much more of a complete film, and with better pacing.

I never minded Ben as Batman, I was indifferent about the choice as there were bigger problems with BvS that kept my focus, but I like him now. He's kind of like the Daniel Craig of Batman's, and I think he's going to grow a lot on people. When you see him now you just don't wanna mess with him, like the dude's made of pure muscle and looks very imposing, but is also imperfect. He's definitely a very different Batman than the one we know from The Dark Knight, and I know not everyone's going to like him, he's not as mysterious or serious, but he's still very much a leader figure. He may not be your idea of a Batman, but he's not a drag.

Had a few "whoa that was cool! I didn't know that! Oh man those are some cool hints, I can't wait to see where they go." moments.

Cons:

Definitely missing the weight of the solo films. There's character content here and it's enjoyable, but it's missing our understanding of the characters completely so we're just going off of what we already know about these characters from seeing them elsewhere as well as filling in the stereotypes. If we had more character knowledge to work from, I think we would've been able to connect to them and the movie more.

THAT GODDAMNED CGI MOUTH! My God it's SO distracting! If they didn't like what was there, they should've just done a pickup where someone says "oh and by the way, you should really shave", and just left it at that. Like honestly, a moustache wouldn't have been the end of the world, and would've definitely been better than what we saw there.

Final note: Wait for the extended cut. What they had was mostly complete, but there were a couple of strangely cut moments that you know the extended cut is going to resolve, just like it did with BvS, so wait for it.
My final score; 6/10. But I think that the extended cut will bump it up to 7/10, right on par with my score for WW.
