I'm surprised that so many people like this movie. Even a good friend of mine was very positive, but listening to what he thinks worked I came to the realization that what worked didn't include things like : story, dramatic impact, motivation.
It looked good, the actors did the best with what they were given. But it felt a little like 2 hours of back to back trailers. Making the parademons the enemy took out the morality aspects, and I'm assuming the one Atlantean and one Amazon who died were Bambi's mother and ... also Bambi's mother. Everything was pretty sanitized.
I really wasn't worried that anyone was going to die. Not even the Russian family that we focused on for some reason.
Maybe the extended edition will redeem it for me.
