Very decent, but not the best super hero movie I have seen this year

Rating: 7/10 (17 November 2017)

First of all, I don't give a crap about what the critics say, to me, they are a bunch of idiots who have no connection to the fan base. That being said, my personal take of this Justice League installment is quite mixed.
This is a typical Snyder movie - a lot of explosions, a lot of fighting scenes, and 40 more buildings got demolished along the way (he probably destroyed a couple of hundreds in the few movies he directed).
Although I enjoy the movie, my main critiques are the following:
1) Not much character development – unlike Man of Steel, which has great moments of deep, touching emotions, that made superman relatable to us humans, the JL is pretty much just about superheroes fighting on our behalf. I don't really feel connected. Also IMO the Flash, the cyborg, and Batman are miscast (yes, 3 out of the 5). Ben is probably a bit too old for the role, and why they didn't choose Grant for the Flash role is just beyond me. I really like his take of the role much better than Ezra's. Also the cyborg - come on guys, can't the CGI do a bit better job? The cyborg seems overweight and ugly.
2) The plot - it just feels forced. I am not even sure why the Aquaman is needed. I think to justify his existence, they had to bring a couple of scenes with underground water, but really his part can be done by another superhero. Also, they foreclosed superman's family home? Seriously, which bank would want to bring that kind of negative publicity to its name? Especially when the world seems to be deeply mourning superman's passing ... just didn't make sense.
3) Chemistry - really not much between the main characters. I'd hope for some bromance, or fatherly love (like the Ironman towards Spiderman), or some romance – really none. The band of Justice League boiled down to a bunch of comrades or office colleagues.
Overall, I do think it is a decent movie & entertaining, but I honestly will NOT put it on top of "Spider-Man: Homecoming" or "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2", or "Thor: Ragnarok" or "Wonder Woman", or "Logan", all of which are fantastic examples how a superhero movie should have been done.
