Now,, before I start, I will say that I agree this movie had its fair share of problems. Pretty certain most of that was in post production.
No matter what,, I luved the movie. It's Batman and Wonder Woman recruiting Aquaman, The Flash, and Cyborg to fight the big bad that's coming (STEPPENWOLF). When I first saw a pic of what Mamoa was going to look like as Aquaman, I didn't know what to think. "Isn't he supposed to be in orange and green?" I thought to myself,,, but the more I looked the pic over,, the more I liked it (Auqaman is COOL now). Ezra Miller as The Flash,,, he's just too PERFECT!! Totally awkward and unsure,, in the best way possible (I've never done battle. I've mainly just pushed people and then ran away). Ray Fisher as Cyborg,, he was good,, I would like to see him again.
Now,,, we all know the theatrical release was not the version that Snyder intended. Due to the horrible tragedy his family suffered, he had to step away from the project. Then Joss Whedon stepped in to finish post production and also do some reshoots (I have to say that I am a big fan of Whedon. Big fan!!! Loved all his TV shows. Really loved Avengers 1 & 2). I'm pretty sure this is where the horrible mustache debacle came in (oh my goodness that was terrible!!!!). Now,, regardless of how much I enjoy both of these directors work,, they don't necessarily go together. Whedon's work is funny and witty,, and Snyder's work is more dark and gritty (WATCHMEN anyone?!?). I think that is where this movie project went a little bit wonky. Regardless,, I still luv the movie,,, but it could've been better in several areas. Imo, the theatrical release of JL was not on the same level as BvS:The Ultimate Edition. I'm hoping (and expecting) THE SNYDER CUT to bring us what we really wanted to see the first time (if they'd shown the BvS:The Ultimate Edition instead of the theatrical release in theaters, it would've done SO MUCH better at the box office. I imagine The Snyder Cut will go the same way).
Even with all the problems,, JL the theatrical release is still a great movie.
So go watch it!!!
