It'd be fine if it was two hours. It'd be better than Batman vs Superman. But after five years of promises, fan-demands, outcry, hashtags on and on and on, I expected more. But this just sits you down in front of the most hideous visual style ever comitted to film and forces you to squint for an entire afternoon trying to make vague black shapes out among the grey. And it keeps going, on and on, through every boring set piece you've seen in a hundred superhero movies before. Oh, they need to collect the maguffins now, even though Mother Boxes never worked like that in the comics? Oh, the big grey guy is going to punch, I wonder how hard he's going to punch? Oh, it was hard. How shocking.
The only thing you can say for Snyder's DCEU is that it stays true to its emotions, where Marvel will always compromise drama with a joke. But the only emotion I had by the end of this was fatigue. I don't want to keep complaining. I don't want to think about this movie any more. I don't want to hear about it, from haters or brainwashed fans who were going to love it anyway. I don't want to see how high the rating goes because the only people who rated it finished watching it, and the only people who could manage that are sadists like me or those same fans. I want it to go away. I want it to leave me alone and in ten years I'll come back for the good Justice League movie, with characters I care about and a story I'm invested in. But this ain't it.
