Finally saw the entire thing. Okay wow, people were acting like this is the Citizen Kane of bad movies. It wasn't..anywhere close.
It certainly wasn't as good as it could of been and it certainly didn't live up to the hype, but this is Superman vs Batman..nothing would of really lived up to THAT hype.
Is it the best film of the year? Nope. The worst film of the year? Nope. The 2nd worst film of the year? Nope. The third worst film of the year? Nope.
IMO X-Men Apocalypse wasn't that much better...it just had vastly less hype. Hell even comparing this to the clusterf*ck that was Avengers 2? This movie isn't leaps and bounds worse.
Sounds like the movie version of the video game "Fable". A decent game on it's own, but shitty when compared to the massive hype surrounding it. I literally expected to want to scrape out my eyeballs after this movie the way some spoke of it.
I can sum this movie up with one word: meh.
^ I actually rate it above Apocalypse. And in the same league as Ultron. Probably slightly better than Ultron. Difference is though both those movies didn't NEED to be spectacular. Given they both were sequels to great movies.
Agree the hate and bad reputation isn't really deserved, but I think DC needed something special to start off their shared film Universe. Like Marvel had with IM1.
