Snyder is a terrible director, even Joss couldn’t save this mess on the reshoots by Batman crushing on Gal...
Let’s face it - critics rarely like anything that is remotely entertaining.
I’m still completely baffled by the modern trend of comic book movies serving as major societal guideposts for adults.
Those same critics would tell you how AWESOME this film is if it had Barack Obama, Al Gore, and Hillary Clinton in the lead roles.
Movies are shot on video and edited like music videos these days. We are in a post cinema age with people watching outside the box.
And the “evolved” and “tolerant” audiences are put off by black and white films. And they’ll tell you the old kind of movies are too slow and BORING.

Our family tends to enjoy all the movies these “experts” trash. The movies the “experts” like are usually absurd & disgusting, in my experience.
It’s been like that for us since 2005 or so.
“And they’ll tell you the old kind of movies are too slow and BORING.”
Most movies spanning the entire history of motion picture are slow and boring :-). Seriously, look at the number of releases per year and look at the number of good ones. A very low percentage are “good” ... most are trash :-).
I do know people that won’t watch an older film because they think they are all boring and slow ... its their loss really :-).
My favorite movie spanning the entire history of the motion picture is Mel Brooks’ “History of the World, Part I”.
It spans the entire history of civilization! :-)
Here's an idea -- have the Justice League beat up Donald Trump for his destruction of the whole danged environment thing, as well as white privilege, homophobia, right-wing nationalism, populism, sexual harassment, and xenophobia?!? Orrrr, adults could stop reading ****ing comic books and going to movies based on them.
Slow and “boring” does have to mean “bad”.
There is “slow and boring” music that is good too.
And plenty of fast action c-r-a-p.
And big budget does not mean better than low budget or cheap (or no) effects.
There are people stuck in the mindset that today’s digital photographers are better than those that came before because everything is in focus (multi-focus, multi-image layered lighting exposure composite even).
Technical tools do not equal a good or better product.
George Lucas certainly has the budget, past skills, and actor and writer pool from which to make great films. And yet every time out of the gate it is a crapshoot if the film/movie will be any GOOD. So certainly the sum of its parts must be considered.
Short attention span sound byte raised yutes who cannot concentrate (let alone READ or think/contemplate) will find many older films “Slow” even if they aren’t.
A decade ago we were told that magazine journalism had to go to short summary articles rather than long form pieces because the audiences wanted their info quick and to the point.
These so-called “comic book movies” are a hell of a lot more simplistic than the comic book tales of the past 55 years.
I see it as a symbol of generic male immaturity - like the guys over 18 who go out in public (or worse, on dates) wearing shorts and sandals with baseball caps on backwards. They appear to be the target audience for these films. :)
I was very disappointed in the “blurred action” of Wonder Woman.
However, the panoramic scenes of Gal Gadot make up for it.
The new Spiderman is similarly “blurred”.
Many of these movies also have scenes so dark you can’t see what’s going on even on a high-end TV in a dark room.
And, Wonder Woman & Spiderman at least had the semblance of a story.
