Film Does Not Aim High Enough To Be Great Entertainment

Rating: 6/10 (26 November 2017)

With a whole bunch of writers working on this script, you'd expect more plot and actors getting great lines than you receive. Visually, the 2 hour film is stunning. The costumes, effects, and visuals are exciting. The filming locations in Iceland, the UK and USA are well chosen.
The plot actually does continue the Batman Versus Superman story line. There are moments here which can be very pleasing, and could have been more than they are. It is really subtle where they went wrong, as this type of material is an 8 rating the way Marvel does it. So why does D.C . fall short? That is a multi-million dollar question.
Ben Affleck Batman / Bruce Wayne has quite a bit of talking, but no-memorable lines. Henry Cavill Superman / Clark Kent has even less lines and his parents home almost getting repossessed by the bank illustrates perfectly what the script gives him. Amy Adams Lois Lane gets the bulk of the romantic work smooching Clark Kent, but she is given little else by this script. Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman/ Diana Prince is given more script than the rest and she is very enjoyable on screen. I am in awe of how some of those really tight clothes hug her figure (no groping please). Ezra Miller's Flash/Barry Allen gets a few moments of good script, but not enough.
This is not the worst 2 hours I've seen, but should have been better considering the resources. If you go, stick around for the credits, because here, like Marvel, there are some interesting teasers as to what DC is working on. I am hopeful that they check out the Marvel series and raise the bar on their scripts.
