I feel 60% sure that I have seen this before, even though it appears the film is so forgettable that I can’t remember. What I immediately liked was how Martha’s pupil dilated at the moment of her death. That is something that I always look for and never find when a character dies in a movie. Wide, unresponsive pupils are a pretty good indicator of (brain) death. But unfortunately, it all went downhill from there and quickly lost any plus-points generated in the opening. There is very little plot here and a lot of fighting and chase scenes. I was bored to death in no time. The script is confusing with Batman’s weird, vision-like, but ultimately pointless dreams getting in the way of the actual plot.
Characters are mostly superficial. I am really more a fan of Superman than Batman, but neither of them comes to life in this film, even though I like Ben Affleck’s take on Batman and I adore Henry Cavill. Kudos though for making the two female characters, Lois and Wonder Woman, my clear favourites here. They were comparatively well-written and played. Jesse Eisenberg was equal parts disturbing and over-the-top as deranged and predictable cookie-cutter villain Lex Luthor.
Visually, this delivers everything an action- or comic-movie fan would probably like to see, but I was not too impressed. All in all, it feels like with some decent editing, this could have been fitted in under 90 minutes. 2/5 for boring me.
