How did I not like this?

Rating: 4/10 (12 April 2011)

Let me explain something, I am a 20 year old male who went into a cinema to watch a fantasy action film involving huge explosions, hot girls kicking ass in ridiculously hot outfits, and some fantastic visuals. So why did I hate this film so much?
The opening scene in the film is completely different from the usual Zach Snyder and at that point I was fascinated as to where it was going to go and the plot on the surface actually seems fascinating but it ends up with so many holes that it just infuriated me.
The typical Zach Snyder calling cards make continual appearances in this film; action packed, plenty of slow mo, some fantastic visuals and a plot that on the surface makes you want to see more.
All that being said this ends up being a very forgettable film that has a very convoluted and hard to believe plot (and I'm a fan of Oceans Eleven), the special effects are overemphasized to the point that everything else suffers, and the whole thing feels like a trailer for a bad video game.
What annoys me (and ninety percent of the population) the most is Zach Snyder having the balls to say that this is a empowering film for women. This is a teenage boys fantasy that Snyder dreamed up when he was thirteen.
This is Snyder's pet project and it shows just how much creative depth he actually has.
