I took my three teenage children tonight and, sadly, it is a truly, truly awful film. Comfortably the worst superhero movie I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot from the genre of distinctly varying quality) and probably the worst film I've seen all year.
I recall the first movie being decent enough if no classic but this one is a massive drop in standard, made all the worse by it being the sole event movie to look forward to in the latter half of the year.
Its running time of two and a half hours feels more like four hours plus and I came genuinely close to dropping off around the halfway point.
The visuals, production design and costumes are shonky (by the end Kristen Wiig's supervillain looks like a refugee from this year's 'Cats' movie), the plot banal and the acting is paper-thin from everyone involved - all even by the standards of campy superhero fare.
It is a testament to how bad the film is that the 'Imagine' video is now only the second most terrible thing Gal Gadot has done this year.
