I won't lie, the movie sort of lost me a bit in the beginning, I mean, it starts with the animation of an "artificial insemination"? What? Lol, that was at least a... different way to start a superhero movie. All that been said, I would say the movie only gets better after it.
It took me a while to get the right feel of it, I think at first is truly difficult to root for our "main characters", and to understand their motives (I mean, they start the movie been some cold as# killers). But right around 2/3 of the movie,
I understood what was about and what they were going for. The movie is about anti-heroes, you aren't supposed to 100% agree with that they do, even though they are called "Superman", "Wonder Woman" and "Batman". I won't say I think they movie reaches they potential it had. However, I like some of the ideas behind it, and I like that they tried to change things a bit.
The twist of Batman's friend been the real villain at the end was ok, I truly didn't see it coming, and that's a plus (I guess).
Overall, I think the movie definitely makes some bad choices, like starting the movie with a sperm, or introducing hard core killer versions of our most beloved heroes and expecting us to side with them. But I have to give them credit to trying change things a bit and telling a different story, I like the take of "Superman raised by immigrants", and I don't mind the Batman been a vampire, even though it's far from been that smart of a decision. Some of the flashbacks doesn't actually connects with the main story (like WW's one, besides the last scene of her going somewhere with Luthor), others are cool (like Batman's).
To sum up tho, it's truly a mix bag, it has some ups and downs, but I feel the need to give them the extra credit for telling a different story, and trying something new.
