Good movie but very predictable

Rating: 6/10 (17 November 2017)

This year's most anticipated movie is finally out and its good for most of the part but could've been definitely a lot better.
The movie is fairly well structured unlike BvS but it has a very poor ending. First let's talk about the story. It's pretty straightforward and predictable and lacks any twist. You have a villain who wants his own hell and the Justice League is there to stop that from happening. Nothing new that we haven't seen already done before.
The characters have a good chemistry between each other for most of the part but some are more lackluster than the others. Ben Affleck as Batman is once again good in this movie especially in the first half but sadly he doesn't show his badassery in fight scenes like in BvS. This time he also has some funny scenes which I liked and had no problem. Ezra Miller as Flash might be a hit or miss and some might even compare him to Quicksilver from the X-Men series. I, myself did enjoy his comic relief and his light hearted behavior that he brought to the team but others might criticise him for that. Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, this time has some great fight scenes and is given a good amount of screen time which was good to see. Cyborg surprisingly has a huge part to offer the story which I wasn't expecting. He isn't very great but certainly did not disappoint. Jason Momoa as Aquaman looked great in the trailers but sadly that's all he had in him in the entire movie. I really wanted a badass scene involving him at the center. Don't want to talk much about Superman but he is too overpowered and takes away the sense of terror that the villain established throughout the plot easily in the final fight which was underwhelming to see.
Now people might criticise the light hearted tone in contrast with the gritty dark tone of its previous movies like MoS and BvS and compare it to Marvel movies. Yes, this movie does try to be funny and light hearted and for most of the part, the jokes were fairly good, nothing great and some very similar to Marvel's style but we need to "deal with it" since it's writers can't come up with a mature plot good enough for its previous dark tone. I still think Man of Steel was pretty well balanced but then again there were people that criticised it and called it boring.
The part's that I disliked were the weak villain Steppenwolf and some poor cgi effects especially in the final fight. It looked ugly and sometimes looked very poor like taken from a video game like others have pointed out. Overall, this movie is predictable and has nothing unique to offer. It's a good movie nonetheless but don't expect it to be great.
