Good movie that leaves much to be desired and improved unfortunately.

Rating: 5/10 (20 November 2017)

Here is the problem and what I would have done as an example: Justice League is rushed, no emotional themes are explored, there is no emotional depth, except for Flash's story, which is also rushed. The movie's villain is sh*t, he starts off well enough, but actually is very one dimensional and weak. When Superman is resurrected and beats everyone easily, its plain to see the villain is not going to be a match for Superman, so the movie might as well end there. What I would have liked to see: Superman refused to fight for several reasons, because he needed time to come in grips with his death and rethink things, maybe he doesn't want to fight anymore at all, feels like he died for nothing and wants nothing to do with Batman and saving humanity,he is disappointed with humanity. he just wants a quite life in the countryside with Louise, which is the only thing he cares about. Maybe his abilities aren't so good anymore, he has problems similar to what he had in his childhood - hearing too much, seeing too much hate, which reminds him of his dead stepfather and destroyed planet. So while Superman deals with his PTSD, stress, and identity crisis, (HE WAS DEAD FOR Christ SAKE, but we didn't see any effect on him) Justice League has a hard fight ahead of them, so Batman comes up with a genius plan that needs teamwork, so we see them bonding as a group while training. When it comes to the actual fight, Steppenwolf isn't a pussy like what we saw, instead he is actually intelligent and a hard opponent to beat. Batmans plan doesn't work the first time, so they fall back and need to innovate. Batman tries to come up with a new plan, the strategist that he is, but Wonder Woman takes the lead and comes up with a new plan, which is something innovative, and preferably involves absolute best from each member of the League (so basically Aquaman actually does something, not just look good without his shirt on, and he can be helpful). When the fight is done, they are surprised by Superman, that apologizes for not helping them, explains the situation, that he needs time, but that ultimately, when he is ready, he will be a part of the Justice League. He forgives Batman, maybe asks for forgiveness for beating his ass earlier when resurrected, and they have a bonding moment with a manly handshake. Flash says: finally he will have friends, Wonder Woman says: no, we wont be friends. We will be family. And the movie cuts to black. Now THAT would have been interesting, THAT would have had emotional depth, that would have been innovative to some degree. We saw nothing new or interesting, less innovation than inventing a bicycle in the 21st century. When the movie was done I was left with a hole in my heart, because the movie just didn't do enough, didn't explore their characters emotions and problems, and I knew it could have been done much better, especially if there were previous movies with Flash, Cyborg and Aqua man. It was just lets go kick this bad guys ass, queue action sequence, Superman comes in beats everyone obviously, queue credits. At the end of the day of course its all subjective opinions. But let me just say: I love DC to the Moon and back, Batman is my favorite superhero of all time, and precisely that is the reason why its so sad seeing DC fumble with their movie universe, its just sad really. I know they try, and I can see the effort in every movie, but it just falls short for me, because Marvel does it all so much better. For years and years Marvel have been building up Avengers, while DC rushed it in 1 movie. Its not good enough, the standards are high, I understand that, but that's no excuse.
