I am still on a hangover from seeing Batman vs Superman last night. May contain Spoilers! Despite the many negative reviews from film critics, I personally enjoyed the entire film.

Coming in from a strong first film (Divergent) and a sort of good-enough second film (Insurgent), I will have to say Allegiant failed to deliver.
