Thumbs down for the Justice League.

Rating: 3/10 (18 November 2017)

The movie has it's good points, but it also has A LOT of problems. Also, let's be honest here: it's a ripoff of the 2012 Avengers movie. No, seriously, compare them side-to-side and you'll quickly notice that Justice League steals a lot of stuff from The Avengers. Both feature an alien villain (Steppenwolf and Loki) of divine origin (New God and Asgardian) leading an army of mindless gray-skinned aliens (Parademons and Chitauri) to Earth in order to retrieve powerful artifacts and conquer the planet, requiring a group of superheroes to form a team and learn to work together to fight them back (after the heroes argue and butt heads with each other for a bit, of course). Additionally, the artifacts in question are both cube-shaped (the Mother Boxes and the Tesseract), and both would-be conquerors are servants of characters who are themselves Counterpart Comparisons from their respective comic book mythologies (DC's Darkseid and Marvel's Thanos). Also, both movies try to have multiple jokes in them to "ease" the atmosphere (Justice League isn't really good at it, BTW) and both superhero teams are being led by a "badass normal" type character who relies more on martial arts skills and strategy than anything else (Batman and Captain America). Plus, what happened to the colors in these movies? It's like some idiot decided to put a crappy color filter or something...the movie's brightness is so low that I sometimes have to constantly squint at the screen to know what the hell I'm looking at. Looking at the movie sometimes hurts my eyes. Also, some of the actors do a good job while others...not so much.
