Not so Rotten

Rating: 8/10 (5 December 2017)

I have to admit, I was excited for this movie. I grew up to the Super Friends, was a fan of the Justice League animated series, so when they announced Justice League the movie, I didn't get my expectations too high, but still found myself looking forward to it.
When Rotten Tomatoes came out with their rating, I wasn't surprised. They seem to have it out for DC movies recently. Man of Steel was better than they gave it credit for, Dawn of Justice though, was definitely not good (except for the Batman warehouse fight scene, that was pretty epic), Suicide Squad was a little fun, not as bad as critics say also.
Without giving any spoilers, JL decidedly turned up the humor on this one, which many gags did not fall flat for me. The Flash stole the show when it came to comic relief. Aquaman has a hilariously "heart felt" scene that was one of the best scenes in the movie. When Superman returns (seriously, I'm sure this is in no way a spoiler by now) he and Flash have a couple of great scenes, and Clark and Cyborg have a great one also. Batman does his thing and is played very well by Afleck. And of course Wonder Woman is once again played great by Gal Gadot. The villain is standard fair. Has a couple of decent scenes, but other than that, he plays his part, as do his minions.
Don't get me wrong, this is not on par with many of the Marvel movies put out there (I don't mean to play the DC vs. Marvel card here) but this is a good entry and good beginning for the future movies. Please don't go in with a "I'm going to hate this movie" attitude and go in for a good popcorn movie and enjoy it.
