I watched Justice League last night. I was fully intending to not be wow'd and I really wasn't. I don't think it's as bad as the reviews it's getting but for something that has arguably the three most popular comic book characters in history it's underwhelming. This should have been Avengers dialed up to 11 but it's not.
Spoiler:
2.5/3 out of 5? Maybe I'm being generous because I've been wanting a JL for a long time.
emperor of DKB or something
Spoiler:
cause that seems like zack snyder level reality dark and grittiness.

hows wonder woman
and how was aqua man.. seeing as all we've seen of him so far is him like hissing at a camera underwater lol
wow
Wonder Woman is probably the best character in JL. Almost a continuation from her previous movie.
I was thinking of the comparison between Black Panther's performance in CW vs. Aquaman's in JL and BP actually had an arc and Aquaman is just there. He does have scene which I've seen in comics before involving the lasso which was pretty funny.

Yikes.

This movie isn't the shit storm that Batman vs Superman is and it's definitely not painful the way Suicide Squad is, but man, this was a mess. It makes me sad that I live in a world where a fucking Justice League movie is just okay and generic. Justice League should have been the pinnacle for superhero team up movies, but it's incredibly uninspired.
Pros:
- Henry Cavill's is extremely Superman-y in this, which is extremely refreshing
- Gal Gagot is always a pleasure
- Ezra Miller is definitely the highlight and I look forward to seeing what a solo Flash movie is like
- Aquabro was enjoyable
- When Danny Elfman's Batman theme came on I think I peed myself a little
- That moment when Flash is running and Superman's eyes shift and he looks directly at him was a pretty cool moment
- I did like both mid-credits and end-credits scenes
Cons:
- CGI is fucking awful
- I feel like because Ragnarok is still very fresh in my mind, seeing that beautifully bright and lively Kirby world thriving makes everything about Steppenwolf/Apokolips much more insulting. What a offensively disgustingly bland portrayal of what could have been a truly epic threat.
- Because Snyder and Whedon both have such distinguishing styles it makes the tone so much more jarring and noticeable? Like "Yep, that's Whedon dialogue" or "Yep, there's Snyder's self-serious/slow-mo tone."
- Speaking of Snyder, that "subplot" of the family trapped during the Parademon attack served no purpose.
- CGI mustache removal
- Fucking Batman making quips.
- Nitpicky, but how can Batman catch the Flash while he's running?
I feel like we didn't earn this movie at all. Now the brand of Justice League is tainted and feels like a rushed Avengers ripoff. I didn't hate it, but if that's the best I can say then what does that tell you? Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman deserve so much better.
I agree with you 100%. Even at its averageness, this is still the 2nd best DC movie.
I liked that it was barely 2 hours long, it pretty much got right to the action.
HUNKA HUNKA!
