Peyton “and Jolie” Duncan

The ridiculous storyline and writing may have been more fitting of a 1980's Saturday morning cartoon. The entire movie makes little to no sense, character motives are silly and one-dimensional, and to top it off... it drones on for nearly 2.5 unwatchable hours. It is another very sad step backward for the DC Universe. I literally felt bad for Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, and Pedro Pascal.

It took me a couple of sittings to watch this. The first time I turned it off 10 mins in, but I decided it could have some educational value. This has got to be one of the best examples of what happens when a director decides to “tell me” instead of “show me”. Tons of exposition and monologues, featuring poorly written dialogue, ridiculous monikers and painfully “pseudo” tech speak..all spoken by “detached” characters, who don’t believe what they themselves are saying, in support of a messy and confusing plot.
