Oof. I'm a big DC fangirl and this was a real struggle for me. An uninspiring and awkward first half into a weak second that couldn't do a thing to redeem it. There were a handful of beautifully shot action sequences but overall it was ham-fisted and disjointed. Once again a DCEU film feels like someone with a split personality. Flitting between leaning into the wonderful darkness of DC and wanting to appeal to the simple Marvel masses with humour. Go one way or the other. This in-between doesn't work. Nor does the bad editing and dubbing moments either. Overall it felt unfinished and odd. A pleasure to see Sarah Shahi on the big screen and I hope this means bigger things for her in the future but this film... Was not a winner for me.
Only redeeming thing? The wonderful Henry Cavill as Superman once again. Saving me from this awful cinema visit.
