I was not bored...

Rating: 5/10 (3 March 2018)

The good:
Likable characters! I liked the internaction and chemistry between the heroes. Batman was brooding and cynical, but played off the waterman and Supergirl quite well. Supergirl was the voice of reason it seems, the more mature one in a boys club. She felt like a mother of the others, sort of.
The red guy seemed to be the comedian of the group. Similar to the running guy in the Marvel movies, he was mostly just situationally funny.
The bad:
It was a regular bad guy story. And the bad guy wasnt all that impressive. Usually such movies rise and fall with a good bad guy .. cause he is the one the good guys are measured against .. but this guy was rather lame and most of all .. boring. He was the archetypical evil guy that would talk in one liners and degrade quickly from being near invincible to rather weak in the end.
There seemed to be a lot of plot points that were hinted at but never explained .. at the same time a lot of exposition that felt out of place.
What really shocked me were the terrible (and i mean really, really terrible) special effects .. that were worse than some home computer cutscenes. Actors being superimposed into a background .. but standing out worse than the weatherman at the forecast in front of a greenscreen. Muddy "textures" on some of the CGI environments and actors failing to properly interact with it. All in all.. it felt almost like a movie from the early 2000.
But maybe i am missing a point here .. and the director WANTED it to look fake and comic book like?
But as a random movie .. it was actually quite a joyride. Not much story or meaning .. but a colourful and hectic journey of what was it? 2 hours or so. I do not regret having seen it, but i would not see it again - having the choice.
I can understand that people who actually do read comic books have very different feelings about this movie. I am sure there is more to the chracters than shown in this storyline
