Justice League
The film is short, not even two hours long, it is swift, a straightforward plot, simple but interesting and easy to follow. The writing is smart, you could guess which scenes Wheedon added as there are many engagements between the super heroes, Batman with Wonder Woman, when Bruce Wayne wants to see the best of Wonder Woman, that she is an icon, and that she must be like Superman was, a symbol of the world, hope. This is particularly a powerful scene, it is a wake up call that simple matters and only the same effort would not do in this coming fight against Steppenwolf. Wonder Woman or Diana gets visibly upset, angry at Bruce Wayne, who begins a harangue, almost a diatribe against Diana about the sacrifices that must be done to protect the world, and that running away from the world does not fix things. Diana reacts hurt and angry at this seemingly betrayal and personal attack, but as Diana is sullen, she learns to forgive Bruce Wayne and forgive herself from the tragedy in Wonder Woman film, Diana is like Superman and the other heroes, she is a good person, who wants to serve others and help others. Bruce Wayne a cynic and a misanthrope in BvS, now there is a change of heart in him, his actions, his way of handling himself, his decisions and it is refreshing to see this transformation in Batman, who clearly feels guilty and sorry for what he had done in BvS, and how he treated Superman. And this dynamic of forgiveness is particularly powerful in Justice League, to forgive others and oneself from the mistakes that you do, Diana has to forgive herself from what happened to her lover in Wonder Woman film, Batman has to forgive himself from what he did to Superman BvS, Clark Kent has to forgive himself from what he did to his lover, Lois Lane, a luscious and lachrymose Amy Adams, that you can see how Lois Lane suffers, her eyes are tearful, when Martha Kent tells her about Clark Kent and they talked about the gone but not forgotten Clark, you could see the sadness that lingers after a loved one goes away, powerful and thoughtful moments that show how the loved ones truly never go away, always in the hearts and the memories of those who loved them and Martha Kent and Lois Lane do love Clark Kent and Superman and one of the best transformation in the DC extended universe is the transformation of Bruce Wayne, Batman, who saw how ugly he was in BvS and now repents, truly guilty and sorry for all the pain he caused, and Batman is one of the new people who learns to love and highly esteemed Clark Kent and thus Superman. Batman who will not let Clark Kent live or die, Batman knows that they cannot stop Steppenwolf without Superman, they are no match for Darkseid general who is exiled and ostracized by his first retreat in the battle between the Apocalips General, the ender of worlds who was kneel in retreat and defeat in the battle for earth, in the age of heroes, when the older tribes of men, they seemed quite Celtic, the Atlanteans and the powerful and defiant and resilient Amazons along with the old gods, even Zeus is seemed in the powerful battle, and the general of Darkseid is vanquished and humiliated to be exiled and try to win his grace among Darkseid again. The CGI seemed a bit perplexing, but it is not bad, the battles scenes are good, especially the battle between the Amazons lead by Queen of Hippolita, a very brave queen that fights against the coming invasion, Steppenwolf wants to get the three mother boxes who combined become the destroyer and ender of worlds, and destroys all living beings in the planet that devours and the living become the para-demons who obeyed Darkseid and Steppenwolf, they can smell fear and destroys everything that feels fear and terror, even their own general if the fear engulfs him. Aquaman and Flash are okay, they are not fully developed, although Flash seemed to have more screen time, Cyborg has a very big important part to do in the mother boxes as when Steppenwolf meets him and finds that Cyborg is a creature of the mother boxes, a creature of chaos, the general says, as Cyborg finds a way to avert the Apocalips with the inside information but they need what Steppenwolf fears the Kryptonian, who like everyone knows Superman is going back to fight and bring hope to the world and is indeed true that the Kryptonian is the glue and the most powerful member of the Justice League, along with Batman and Wonder Woman, who the three become the Trinity. If you are a DC fan you will love the film, but if you are not a DC fan, let me tell you that this is a popcorn film, it is fun and joyful, it has great action, DC has better action than Marvel films, except the only great action Marvel film, The Winter Soldier. If you like a good action, fun film, you will like Justice League, which is about forgiveness, truth, family and of course like Superman says, he is a fan of justice. 9 of 10, good film, fun, great action, great character interaction of super heroes.
