Honestly... I kinda liked it. Maybe that has something to do with how everyone and their dog was running it down and seeming to promise it was going to be some unwatchable pile of shit, but I actually liked the thing.
I'm not saying it's without its flaws, obviously. But to say it's genuinely a terrible movie is to do it a disservice. It was less absolute shit and more just missed potential for most of it. And I think a lot of it's problems wouldn't be there if WB executives hadn't demanded the runtime get butchered to fuck and everything that was in the original vision was on screen. Hopefully we do at some point see an extended, fully-realised version of what the thing was like before executive meddling got involved.
