I didn't like it so much, neither did my girlfriend. In fact it was barely a step up from Suicide Squad. The actors did what they could, and I always enjoy Robbie. The set design was well done, but didn't make much sense. To me the fault of the movie is the same as many DC movies where they don't know if it wants to be taken as dark and serious or zany and comedic. It wasn't even all that funny or outrageous, I laughed out loud once. The theatre was mostly empty, and no one seemed to enjoy themselves.

I am not a DC hater, I love the Nolan and Burton Batman movies, and the Reeve Superman's. Also love the animated universe, huge fan of anything Bruce Timm does. But none of the recent movies have been all that great. To me Man of Steel is still the best of them, at least it knew what direction it wanted to take. To me the newer films are tonally different throughout, a sign that there was way too many writers or producers having their say.

I am sure some will like it, but it was a disappointment to say the least. The acting was solid, with a better script it might have been worthwhile.
