The Death of Superman.......for real

Rating: 4/10 (22 February 2018)

Justice League is a movie with some decent scenes in it, held up with duct tape and incompetent hands.
Director Zack Snyder did a good job with Man of Steel. His follow up of Batman V Superman was a giant mess, saved somewhat by the extended cut of the film. He had to leave JL during production due to a family tragedy. Joss Whedon (Avengers/Buffy the Vampire Slayer) was tasked with taking over. What happened next was two conflicting visions of the DCU and studio interference. The film became a mess in terms of story, visual effects and tone.
It's a well known fact that some Warner Bros executives pushed for the film to be released, despite visual effects being substandard, so that they could earn money bonuses within a set time frame. This resulted in the butchering of Superman's face. They had to CGI out the actor's moustache and the results were laughable. Superman looks like Desperate Dan throughout the film. It's embarrassing on so many levels. Superman is an icon and this film has single handedly destroyed the image of this inspiring comic book god.
The villain is weak and generic, with nothing appealing about him at all. Ben Affleck's Batman is underwhelming and the rest of the heroes are pale shadows of what they could have been.
DC/WB will continue this current DCU but with less dedicated fans due to this disaster of a film. They should have left Superman six feet under.
