I did like the build-up, but I gotta ask how the Saviors knew to block the first road in the first place.  They couldn't have known Maggie was sick.  So the plan was to drag some dissident into the road and wait there until Rick eventually decided it was time to visit Hilltop?  I liked the escalating roadblocks as a way to build tension, but it shows a ridiculous degree of psychic knowledge.  Sure, they could map out probable routes, but knowing which they'd take next, boxing them in, and then somehow realizing they started on foot... really, really convenient.  And then driving them to the circle where they had the RV?  That's borderline ridiculous.  Did they have scouts patrolling every square foot of forest?

(Someone slicing Maggie's stomach, killing the fetus, which becomes a zombie fetus, which then proceeds to eat Maggie from the inside out, Alien-style, falls under "whatever")

That's not how this works!  That's not how any of this works!!

Seriously, though - a surface slice to the abdomen wouldn't impact the progress of a pregnancy.  And a zombie fetus at this stage of development wouldn't have teeth.  Or a jaw.  It'd be the size of a grape.

I don't even think she got sliced anway - only her shirt.  I think the shirt slice was supposed to unleash her motherly rage or something.

I think the Savior leaving the firefight was out of chronological order - a flashback.  That's how I read it, at least.  It was his blood that Morgan and Rick tracked.

Looks like you're not alone in your dissatisfaction.  BvS came in with a "B" CinemaScore.  That puts it a notch below Sacha Baron Cohen's The Brothers Grimsby and on par with Dirty Grandpa and The Divergent Series: Allegiant.

Sadly, 40% on Rotten Tomatoes means I'll be saving my money and waiting for Netflix.  Sounds like it's about on par with what I expected after Man of Steel.  DC/WB really needs to launch Snyder into orbit and retool.  Maybe build up their TV universe and use that to launch some feature films.

I'm interested in hearing reviews from people who aren't emotionally invested in the movie being a huge hit.  I've been reading a whole lot of "OMG THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER" stuff from people I know are huge DC fanboys (and who didn't think MoS was a crapfest).  It's coming across as a bit desperate.

I generally don't feel the need to point out unrealistic/illogical scenes in fictional tv shows but the Dr. in the pharmacy and with the car was just plain dumb.

They're doing all kinda dumb stuff.   I think with the doc she was trying to build up courage or something.  Extremely ill-advised, but somewhat understandable.

Eugene is extremely lucky they ran into Daryl's group, otherwise he'd have been the only leverage they had to get into Alexandria, and that likely wouldn't have boded well for him.  And I'm surprised Daryl didn't notice a dozen guys creeping up on him.  City life is making him dull.
