Too much going on

Rating: 4/10 (16 December 2017)

The main things that fell short for me in Justice League was the weak uninteresting villain, the unrelatable super heroes, not to mention the wasted time on new character introductions.
The villain was so uninteresting in this movie I had to look up his name: Steppenwolf. So insert uninteresting overdone villain plot here. He wants earth to be his and unleashes these hellish bugs in swarms all over to help him take it. And he couldn't just do this himself he needed the help of these weird ancient magic boxes. Yeah I dunno. I can't even recall him being in a decent fight scene. Actually, Steppenwolf isn't in a lot of the movie. He is never really shown preparing for battles, raging over failures, or celebrating his successes.
Justice League had unrelatable superheros. Take Superman for instance. He is literally better than any of the other superheros at everything. What is the point in having a super-fast superhero like Flash, if Superman can run (oh, or fly...can Flash do that!) just as fast as him? Wonder Woman couldn't take Superman in a one on one fight. And Batman? At this point he is more like a concerned citizen with lots of money. So Flash, Wonder Woman, and Batman are irrelevant when standing next to Superman. We also rarely see these heroes make a mistake. They always overcome what should be undefeatable opposition, with tactics, pure strength, teamwork or Superman, their ace in the hole.
Since Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg did not have their own character introduction movie, Justice League had to take time out of the movie to introduce these characters, give them some backstory and bring them into the League. Oh and Superman was dead at the end of Batman v Superman...so they had to find a way to bring him back to life. This was all a huge mistake. These many disparate plots detracted from the movies main conflict and resolution plot and had the audience watching weak character development. The audience had to switch context multiple times between bringing in Flash...waiting on Aquaman to stop being a loner, deal with Cyborg learning about his newly acquired powers, reviving Superman, and oh right. the dude trying to destroy the world.
Oh...and if you thought Superman's face looked weird in this movie, you are right. Henry Cavill had a mustache during part of the filming, which they had to edit out in post production.
