Falling with style

Rating: 6/10 (22 November 2017)

You would expect a film with six superheroes would be more exhilarating. With Superman dead, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) senses a brooding darkness on the horizon and wants to assemble a team of people with special powers.
Batman already has Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) but he and Alfred seek out the quick as lightning Flash (Ezra Miller) Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and the Cyborg, Victor Stone (Ray Fisher) who after some bickering become part of the Justice League.
They do battle with the alien Steppenwolf who is looking to reclaim three hidden mother boxes that will give him untold powers.
One of the boxes is in the human world and Cyborg calculates that the power in the box could re-awaken Superman.
The film just lacks the fun factor. Steppenwolf joins a long line of dull CGI villains. Victor Stone and Aquaman were flat with only Flash having a spark.
When it came to the fight scenes everyone is flying around although as I heard one critic remark, they were really falling with style as in the original Toy Story.
At least the film brings back a snatch of the John Williams Superman theme as well as the Michael Keaton Batman theme.
