The CGI is the most distracting part for sure. And not just the big stuff like Cavil's mutant face, or the fight scenes, but the basic shyt where literally everything is bordering on Prequels tier chroma keying and it looks like every single scene has 5 feet of set and the rest was added later. And then changed and not finished once Whedon took over. The action itself is floaty, often low rez and distractingly fake looking (like anytime they have someone fully CGI for a few shots so they can do something impossible to do practically, shyt stands out like a sore thumb and it happens frequently in the movie). That's so wild because they put so much money into this, with most of the budget going to the effects, and the effects in stuff like Ant Man looks better.
WB execs pushed it out knowing it was trash and wasn't going to be as finished as it should be because they were worried they wouldn't get their bonuses once the buyout went through
