There are images in this that are beautiful. Perfectly
composed, spectacularly lit, sublime. It’s too bad Zack Snyder and his team
won’t hold on these beautiful compositions for more than a nanosecond. It’s
also too bad that the script makes zero sense and seems like it was written by
the eight-year-olds that were asking all those tough questions in the first
place. The plot is baffling. If someone who understands it could please call me
and explain it to me, that would be great.
Batman and Superman are both having dreams in this. The
dreams seem to be important, and function as Easter eggs for the fans of the Justice
League canon. But they do nothing but bog this movie down, because they make
absolutely NO SENSE. Thanks for playing to the fans, but come on, guys, the
movie still needs to be cohesive!
Like a lot of superhero sequels, this movie is guilty of
biting off too much. It was the same story with Man of Steel: Make a five-hour
movie, then cut it down to two. Affleck gets to make his own Batman movie at
some point. Maybe he’ll bring the storytelling chops he brought to Argo and The
Town.
