The 148 min runtime was way too long for the story Snyder wrote. There was just too much fluff and filler for the little substance the story actually had. Any attempts at humor were a failure, and Snyder missed many opportunities to add some good laughs to his writing.
Like another reviewer stated, what was the point of the daughter anyway? All it did was create an infantile conflict "kids don't listen to parents". And never mind the ridiculousness of the many plot holes, including how she even made it that far to find her friends - who were just hanging around with zero attempt to escape on their own.
I'm not really a big fan of the Zombie genre and feel it's been overdone, but I did like how Snyder had the different levels of intelligence and physicality, especially the Alphas.
The action and suspense was great, and the S/VFX, sets, and costumes amazing. The gore was just right. The cinematography was excellent, and contrary to other reviewers comments, I really enjoyed all cast performances, especially of course Bautista. I felt the score was a little overboard and overbearing.
Nevertheless, a good one-time watch. I'm not sure how much draw a Part 2 will have, but Snyder at least left that option open.
