Great movie

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2017)

A nice, entertaining, and very well done movie from WB/DCEU. I didn't feel the two hours passing, so immersed I was in the story and the characters. A well balanced and straight plot, with all strings in place, not losing too much time explaining origins or whatever, and putting things in a way that can make both the casual and the die hard comic fan to connect and understand them.
The photography is much more colorful and brighter than Batman v. Superman, as anticipated, although I'm a fan of darker movies. But it's OK, after all it's a Justice League movie, not a Dark Knight one, and Batman is supposed to be the only dark guy in the group - and Ben Affleck does an amazing job in this aspect. When Gordon says that the Cape Crusader has been fighting crime for "the last 20 years", you can wonder everything that he has been through during this time, including the death of Robin, as hinted in B v. SM.
Batman and Wonder Woman show in this movie that they form a superb duo, and you can even imagine that they could become a romantic couple someday. He brings/reveals the dark side of things, while she brings hope to everybody. She's always the center of the attentions whenever she's in the screen. Amazing work by Gal Godot. Speaking of her, a special mention must be made to the scenes in Themiscyra, which reminded me of the great Wonder Woman movie.
And moving from earth to water, I have also to mention the cool underwater scenes in Atlantis, which made me eager to watch the new Aquaman movie! In JL, the King of the Seven Seas brings an interesting rebel and defiant style to the group, and you can see the sparks that appear when he and Batman interact.
Cyborg is the only hero that I'll never get used to in the JL, since, to me, he will always be connected to the Titans, not to the "adult" guys. It's also a bit weird to see an almost teenager Flash, I grew up reading comics that showed an older Barry Allen. But the final result is OK, this Flash is the funny guy in the story, keeping everybody smiling, and doing a funny pair with his young fellow Victor Stone. I like to imagine this Flash as a Kid Flash that just happened to enter the League as a young apprentice together with Cyborg. And teenage fans will certainly love them. :)
As for Superman, this time he's much closer to the Superman people are used to (the one immortalized by Christopher Reeve), with a lighter tone, not only visually but also in mood, compared to his two previous appearances in the DCEU. I specially liked the scenes just after his resurrection. Henry Cavill once again brought us a solid performance.
Now moving to the bad guys, or THE bad guy, Steppenwolf was really what I was expecting from a super-villain from Apokolips, strong and bad as hell, but nevertheless no match for Superman - but who is a match for the Man of Steel, after all?
As for the CGI, people must understand that when you deal with superheroes- fighting-deadly-ultra-powerful-extraterrestrials, no CGI is enough to picture the fighting scenes. In this movie, the graphics were not super-stellar, but not bad either.
In summary, as someone who has been reading superheroes comics since the 70s (both DC and Marvel), I loved the movie, it really met (almost all) my expectations for what should be a great JL movie. The only thing that would make me happier would be the inclusion of Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter in the plot, but I hope they will appear in the sequel! Well, at least SOME Green Lantern made a short appearance in this movie, you'll notice when he's in the screen! :)
One last notice: stay until the end of the credits so that will can watch the final scene that connects to the next movie!
