anewchallenger’s review published on Letterboxd:
Yes, the story's kind of a mess. It's disjointed, filled with unnecessary setups to scenes that advance nothing. The Superman/God spin suggested in MoS is heavy-handed and repetitive here. Characters with potential are wiped out for no reason. People are kidnapped and while that's a staple motivation in comics, something new, please. And Eisenberg fulfills what the trailers showed - an annoying performance that yet again wastes Lex Luthor.
All of that's true. Also true - Batfleck works. Bruce Wayne needs a bit more rounding out on the performance, but Batman is the vicious, lethal weapon version I've been waiting for. This is, make no mistake, brutal Frank Miller "Dark Knignt Returns" Batman, as expected. Diana Prince comes out nicely, as well, and Wonder Woman, while too briefly onscreen, is fun to watch as are the set pieces (even if the CG is a mixed bag). Superman, this isn't really his movie, so it's harder to say, but I'm still liking Henry Cavill himself - he's handling a character I've often found annoying quite well.
There is a moment in this film, which is in the trailers (which did give away too much, as feared), where you see the trinity on screen, see Wonder Woman with Batman and Superman and it's hard to not feel something good, something like "finally!" It's a bit comforting to know that, while everything here didn't work, the trinity was pulled off. That's kind of how I walk away from this, remembering the moments but not the film itself. And that turns out to be good enough.
