A very solid superhero movie

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2016)

Marvel must've paid off the critics. This movie is far better than they are saying. I think the problem is that most of them are looking at it as a regular movie and not a superhero movie. Most of the critics have no idea of the history of these characters in the comics. This movie does a fantastic job of bringing in some of that history while adding fresh elements.
I also think the people who were critical of the choice to have Ben Affleck play Batman should apologize publicly. I think he's the best so far. In fact, I think he steals the show. The things they have Batman do are really impressive and better than a lot of the stuff he was doing in the Dark Knight trilogy. He's bigger, older, and meaner than Bale's Batman and the fighting they have him do is more like the Arkham video games. They also had him doing detective work, unlike the previous movies.
Gal Gadot is also awesome. She is a fantastic Wonder Woman, and I can't wait to see her solo movie.
Overall, this is a solid start to the JLA franchise and I can't wait to see it develop. It's not as goofy and funny as the Marvel movies, but that's not a bad thing. I think that perfectly reflects the DC vs Marvel competition. Marvel has always been more like Pepsi, while DC is like Coke.
Just go see the movie. You'll like it. It's not going to win Oscars, but comic book movies aren't supposed to win Oscars!
