Pretty bad.

Rating: 4/10 (27 October 2018)

I got nervous during the opening credits with the number of times that I saw Zack Snyder's name. I was questioning wether or not I should watch this movie. Unfortunately, I made the decision to watch it all the way through. That was a mistake.
This movie is way too long, most of it is underdeveloped, and there are too many subplots. There are interesting ideas present, but the don't spend enough time on anything for it to actually develop and become interesting. As a result, there are a handful of good moments surrounded by boring nonsense.
This movie is unnecessarily dark. I'm not even talking about how melodramatic everything is, and how nearly every death has to be artsy and bloody, most of the movie takes place at night. I don't know why. It makes it hard to see some scenes. The movie doesn't look bad, but its definitely trying to be edgy - and not necessarily in a good way. Most of the effects look pretty good though, I'll give it that.
The dialogue is pretty bad. Noone will answer other peoples questions or respond in the way a human would. They just respond with a lengthy, unrelated, philosophical speech. All the characters do this. I'm ok that Doctor Manhattan does this, as he isn't very good at communication, but everyone does this. Also, most of the characters are pretty underdeveloped, not just the plot.
Overall this movie is really unsatisfying and really really boring.
