Hate to admit, but this was severely disappointing

Agreed.
The film actually starts off well then plummets around the time The Enchantress recruits her brother.
I'd add The Enchantress was an incredibly weak villain, poorly introduced and very poorly acted by Cara Delevigne.
Also, the constant MUSIC. Ugh. -

Yes I agree. The villain was terrible. What was with the weird dance she was doing at the end? And oh yes, the music was unfitting, too. Did they randomly throw Eminem in there? I didn't just imagine that, did I.

You speak the truth.
Although I was enjoying the first 15 minutes Felt like the film was doing this portion to set up an epic main mission going forwards. But as soon as they finished preparing for the battle Everything was just a mess. Nothing made sense. The interaction and dialogue was terrible.
I wasted 2 hours and 20 bucks on this film (Australian tickets are expensive)
And I was cringing a lot.
It was just poorly done For a movie.
Maybe for a 2 hour trailer or a 2 hour music video it would fair better.
It was a crappy version of Expendables. Expendables was atleast cheesy intentionally and was making fun of itself. Suicide Squad actually thought it was being cool and evolutionary to the genre. -

That's a good way of putting it. -

Haven't seen the movie but those complaining about the RT rating don't have much to say about fan reviews aligning with it. The bad word of mouth will cause this movie to drop big time after the presale tickets are accounted for

Yeah, that's what I've found ironic, too. There's been a heavy backlash against the critics, with the notion that the fans have got what they wanted (and that's all that matters).
But that's not entirely true. Plenty of fans have called this movie out for being the disappointment it is. They agree with the critics. -

Exactly.
I really wanted this movie to succeed, but the truth is, it's regular film goers who are making the harshest, albeit presumably fairest, criticisms of this movie. Not simply the professional critics.

BvS, for me, was brilliant. I don't quite understand the hate it gets. The plot was somewhat okay, but Affleck's portrayal as Wayne/Bat really did elevate the overall film. Those fight scenes were incredible. I enjoyed every second of them.

Yeah, BvS was pretty good. I don't get the hate either - even if the movie doesn't work with someone, they should at least be able to respect the things it does well. Have we ever had better better Batman fight scenes? A Superman that feels appropriately powerful?
Different people have different opinions naturally, but it's hard to see how people could objectively think it's a terrible movie. And it's RT score is below Batman Forever, which is nuts. -

I agree with almost everything you said. It was a disappointment after being hyped up so much. It's the complete opposite of Ghostbusters.
Ghostbusters got bad hype, but actually turned out to be good.
