The first one was all over the place. It felt both rushed and lacking in content at the same time, and the characterisation was some of the worst I can remember seeing in a 'mainstream' movie. By the time the credits rolled my partner and I just kinda sat there like WTF the did we just watch?

I don't mind Synder's stuff - he's the very definition of style over substance for the most part, and that's fine if you go into things expecting that, but this was a straight up mess. It almost felt like it got absolutely butchered by the editor or something. Zero interest in seeing the rest of the 'trilogy'. How Netflix can be so apparently invested in this bollocknaise is a mystery. All I can imagine is that they've invested so much money in it, expecting it to be the next big thing that they're now desperate to try and hype it up.
