This has been one of the most anticipated movies so far this year.
There was so much hype being placed around this film, I even started to get a
little excited, but I knew better...lol. I think the movie had all the
potential in the world to be great, but there were some things I just couldn't
get sold on. The first being Ben Affleck as Batman and the second was Gal Gadot
as Wonder Woman. Nothing about these actors in the trailer had me sold on their
performance as either of these loved characters. I was just hoping I was wrong.
Ummmmmmm...unfortunately, I wasn't. As
beautiful as Gadot is, she was killing me as Wonder Woman. I cringed every time
she did that stance that was supposed to make her look badass, but to me she
just looked like someone wearing a very bad Halloween costume...smh. I was not
pleased. I admit Ben Affleck's performance as Batman was way better than his
performance as Daredevil, but it still didn't win me over. Am I the only one
who thought he looked ridiculously juiced up? All I wanted to do was stick a
pin in him and blow some of the air out...Ugh. The story also didn't help win
any points either. I was pretty much bored until the last 45min, which is not a
good thing because the movie has a running time of 2.5 hrs! Eisenberg as Lex Luther
was just ok, even he pushed it over the top a bit too much to make his
performance really enjoyable. My favorite character, besides Superman was
definitely Jeremy Irons as Alfred. I would love it if he could play this role
in the Batman franchise...ijs.
Overall this movies was a blockbuster
disappointment. I enjoyed the last 45min, but there wasn't really anything
spectacular with it either. The movie is being shown heavily in IMAX and 3D,
although it's visually not worth the extra cash. This movie was supposed to be
better than good, but I'm having a hard time evening saying it was
good...eh...C+
