7 outta 10's not bad!

I read some reviews of this movie prior to seeing it. Many reviewers ripped it for sub-par CGI (computer graphics). Some focused on the overall story being thin. Others commented that they felt it was disjointed, plodding, and uninspired. After seeing the movie I can say... those critics are correct, but I still liked this movie overall. Some of the Justice League cast gave rock solid, bordering on inspired performances! Ezra Miller, who plays the Flash is not good, he's great! He's quirky and geeky, vulnerable, and funny. Jason Momoa is also pretty good as Aquaman. I'm not thrilled with the scripts personification of him as a kinda muscle head, surfer dude, God of water, whatever, but what the guy is given to work with, he does a good job of pulling it off. Gal Gadot is great (as usual), but her star power diminishes a lot when she becomes just one of the gang. The Cyborg character is a throw-a-way. Maybe he needs more of his back story to be revealed to flesh him out (no pun intended), but I just wasn't feeling him. As for Batfleck... Somewhere Christian Bale is crying in his old bat cape. Ben...hang up the cowl son. You're too old, and nearly talented enough to pull off Batman. The movie did reach a point for me, where I wondered if it would be redeemable at all, and then something happened. Almost like when Kirk Gibson limped to the plate on two bad legs in the 1988 World Series, and hit one of the greatest WS home runs in history, Justice League found it's heart! I still have issues with some of the story. For instance, there are inconsistencies with the previous film (don't want to divulge and ruin the movie for ya), but I can let those things go. I left the theater with mostly positive feelings about this one, flaws and all.
