It was against my own judgement that I watched this. I have yet to see any film by Zach Snyder that is remotely watchable. However, I decided to give it a go and was barely ten minutes in when I was already regretting it.
The biggest problem is it doesn't know what it's supposed to be. With far too many elements that are a direct rip off of a New Hope, bits of Game of Thrones, the Seven Samurai and The Matrix sprinkled on top it just doesn't make any sense. Consequently the action sequences appear to be thrown in to just to try and keep you from spotting the absence of a coherent plot. Zach Snyder should have taken the hint when the makers of Star Wars rejected this, they had good reason too, it is dire.
None of the characters grab you and make you root for them as they are all so one dimensional. Why Charlie Hunnam delivers his dialogue in a poor Northern Irish accent is a mystery too.
It's just awful on every level. I fell for the hype with Justice League and again with this. Never again will I fall for the dross that Zack Snyder turns out. Netflix have managed to deliver a massive turkey this Christmas.
