Good film, bad rap

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2017)

I just saw the film last night. It's clear that there were major changes, including all of Superman's scenes (re: CGI upper lip). For what they had to work with, it was a damn good film. I honestly think people want to dislike the film for a number of reasons. Mainly being overshadowed by Marvel and the stumbling start of the DC film franchise. I think the DC film franchise suffers from lack of direction, a la Kevin Feige-esque producer to control the direction of the franchise. Also, Zack Snyder directing MOS, BvS & JL. Share the creative process with other writers and directors. That's what makes the MCU strong. Hiring Joss Whedon definitely pulled a rabbit out of the hat. The tone was lightened, the story line was reinforced, it was funny and action packed. It made for an enjoyable experience. Don't put too much weight in the critic's reviews. Grab a bag of popcorn, shut off your brain, and enjoy the show!
