As it is natural when you have a bunch of supernatural super-heroes, in order to keep making movies one needs to invent more and more outrageous villains. They might work in comics, but as someone who doesn't really care about context and would like to see an entertaining movie, I found the bad guys in this movie as stupid as always.
So batman realizes something is up as lizard aliens appear randomly in the world. Therefore, he decides to round up some people with superpowers, since he's the only one with no superpowers. In the meantime, Steppenwolf comes around and searches for some weird boxes which will connect the destruction of the Earth to his home planet somehow. Who even cares? He has an army and considerable power, but he really needs those boxes, so he goes around for them. As soon as I saw the Amazons on their little island, my expectation of this movie dropped.
Our good guys tried to beat Steppenwolf and his fellows, but failed. Funny how it mostly resumes to punches or sword slashes, or batman's tricks. However, our heroes don't have a scratch, as usual. And Steppenwolf, with all his army doesn't manage to bring down 4 people.
They don't bring him down, so as expected, they resurrect Superman using a box. I found it lame. I expected to see Superman living since he doesn't die easily, so somehow, he must have survived. Resurrecting him with the box was an overstretch. Anyway, he comes back and starts beating our heroes until Lois calms him down. Predictable, exactly how I imagined it.
Then, in the final battle, with some weird purple ball threatening to cover the Earth, our good guys fight the Steppenwolf and his bees, but can't make it without our good Superman. When Superman comes, he makes easy sport out of the bad guy, goes to save some people miles away, then comes back and finishes the job. Who came up with the absurd idea that Superman's breath can freeze stuff? This may work for kids, but hey, we're watching a movie where everyone flies and no one ever gets hurt.
It was a nice try, but it didn't felt good. I cannot begin to wonder what will they do next? Will they fight Supersayans and Freeza across the universe? Who knows, because Superman's back and we need to get more powerful foes to justify another sequel.
