Mind-blowing? No. Jaw-dropping? No. Mindless entertainment and fun? Sure. Here's Justice League.

Rating: 6/10 (19 September 2019)

Well if it isn't Zack Snyder once again, people; a director I've had a love-hate relationship with for many years now. Let's get this out of the way: the guy doesn't really know a whole lot about comic books and representation/portrayal, but you can't say the guy doesn't know a thing. He does, albeit not an abundance of. Oh, and let me get one more thing out of the way: I DESPISE the way Wonder Woman says, "Kal-El, no." before they face off against Superman. I don't know, it just annoys me so much. But let's talk about the movie itself. How is Justice League? On a scale of 0-100, it's about a 65. Or 6.5/10. Sure, you could arguably round it up to 7, but I'm keeping it at 6. The visual effects, at times, are absolutely fine, then they're god-awful and the film looks cheap, messy, and can come across as both lazy and lousy. The performances aren't incredible but they're pretty good. I kinda like Ben Affleck as Batman, but then I remember I prefer Keaton, Conroy, Bale, etc. Hey, at least he's more entertaining than George Clooney and Val Kilmer when it comes to portraying the character, at least in my opinion. Gal Gadot is okay, but she was so much better in her own film. I'd say she's about the same here as she was in Batman v Superman - so just okay/decent. Jason Mamoa is pretty good as Aquaman, I won't lie. Almost the standout character for me, thus I definitely gotta check out his solo movie. Ezra Miller is pretty good as the Flash I'd say. Some of his lines that are meant to be funny aren't all that funny though. The humour can feel a little forced in general though, or just plain unfunny. And of course Henry Cavil as Superman, for the third (and final?) time was pretty good, but mainly that's because of the battle between him in the others was, for the most part, cool to see. But he overpowers them all and, while he is the most powerful of them for sure, I can't help but wonder what would have happened had they got some attacks in. Superman is meant to be this powerful but I kinda feel that sometimes we see him in an overpowering state with Cavil as if he actually could be somewhat more powerful and a little antagonistic (cheers Zack and the gang), but it's cool. And Steppenwolf and his Parademons seemed a pretty good threat until Supes came in, who basically destroyed Steppenwolf without even trying. The villain was cool, but not enough for me to believe he was a massive threat after Superman basically killed him with a punch, you know, despite being made out to be such a monster and the world was on brink of chaotic collapse. Overall, Justice League is a pretty decent film, there are lots of flaws but it makes up for some of them at times thanks to action, some heartfelt moments, and of course the team itself - the Justice League.
Standouts: Aquaman, Superman, Superman vs Justice League, (and for the most part, not entirely, but most) the final battle.
