I wanted this to be good so badly. Like really badly.
Other than the world design and effects, there really isn't much else to salvage from it.
In true Snyder style we've got lens flare and slow motion, but this time he's dialled it up over the top.
Some of the action scenes are absolutely ruined from way too much diving in and out of slow motion.
The biggest disappointment is the writing.
The first 70% of the film is absolutely a waste of time and not needed.
You don't find out most of the characters actual relevance until the back end of the film.
Everything before that is a mixture of utterly pointless painfully boring scenes done for the sole purpose of filler.
Looks great, but that's all.
