Felt like I was watching my son play arkham knight during the bat sequences. Those guys in the car? Just knocked out.
Aww, man. They were great. So hokey!
Yes.
YEs.
I liked the hokey bits! The main drive of the movies didn't do it for me though.
"Another!" *smash* was pretty excellent, but there wasn't much of that stuff.

This movie was draining. Snyder's game plan is clearly to recreate iconic comic book panels, whether they relate to each other at all and how he gets from one another are a distant concern.
The formula worked fine for him in 300 and Watchmen because he was just following a straight line and playing the hits in sequence. Now he's pulling bits from stories all over the shelf that make no sense being blended into each other, and it's just discordant. He's slapping away at a Morning Zoo soundboard.
Jesse Eisenberg played an outstanding Joker, though.

I read something great the other day, maybe in a comment section on a BvS review, about how Snyder's Watchmen is so slavish to the plot (well, outside the whole squid thing) and visuals of the book, and yet completely misses the point. The biggest example being its treatment of Rorschach, how it unironically paints him as a badass to look up to, when the book means you to find him repulsive. Like a lot of things in Snyder's oeuvre, this makes perfect sense now that we know he's a Randroid.

I liked it, it wasn't great but it wasn't anywhere near what the reviews are painting it. It obviously has some flaws, Eisenberg is a terrible Luthor, and to me it felt like they were trying to tell too much story in 2 1/2 hours. It almost feels like this could have been two movies and that might have solved some of the issues. I still think Gadot is way too skinny, but acting wise she did fine. Affleck worked really well for me as Batman/Bruce Wayne but this Batman was just too damn brutal. I'll agree that at times it felt like watching Arkham Knight. The hand to hand stuff was great, minus the use of guns, but that car and truck sequence HOLY SHIT. Everybody dead. I'm really surprised they went where they did with it at the end.
How was Afleck as the Dark Knight? Heard good things elsewhere but TNL > elsewhere
Afleck was the one great thing about this movie.
