This is the beginning of the DCEU

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2017)

This film has been my number 1 priority to watch this year after the trailer dropped in Summer 2016. I had really high expectations in the upcoming months which changed closer to the release yesterday where I changed my opinion and thought it is gonna be way worse that I hoped. This did however come to a shock when the 2 hour length film gave me high hopes for the future of the DCEU. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't perfect, but if they had more time they could have achieved this. There were a mix of pros and cons which I personally think the pros outweigh the cons due to me being a big DC fan.
Pros:- (SPOILERS) 1. Batfleck is proving to be the best and carries the most resemblance to an older version of Batman. 2. Wonder Woman has a great dynamic with the other characters and fits with how the story pans out. 3. Cyborg has a dark and depressed side to him because of his new powers but it's an interesting way of portraying the character. 4. Aquaman shall never be known as the useless one in the Justice League ever again thanks to Jason Momoa doing an amazing 'surfer dude' like portrayal. 5. Ezra Miller's Flash has a promising future in the DCEU due to his comedic quality and performance. 6. Cyborg says his famous phrase 'Booya!' 7. The action scenes are continuous fun and are hilarious. 8. There can easily be a future friendship between Flash and Cyborg. 9. Superman's return was played out incredibly. 10. Thepost-credit scene has the biggest reveal and will leave you on the edge of your seat with the villain reveal. 11. The flashback scene with the war against Steppenwolf confirms the that Green Lanterns exist in the DCEU. 12. Batman was not useless which most people thought he would be.
Cons:- (SPOILERS) 1. Steppenwolf is a basic and easily forgettable villain. 2. Steppenwolf also seems to lose half of his ability to fight in the end fight scene. 3. Superman's CGI beard is awful and once you notice it, it's very obvious. 4. The plot seemed a bit messy due to the two directors (which you can see clearly). 5. The film seemed like it was two 1 hour episodes of a TV series, directed by two different directors. 6. The film was rushed due to their limited time frame of 2 hours. 7. Only 6 members of the Justice League were used out of 7 (I wanted to see Green Lantern introduced).
Overall, I believe that this is a strong start to the DECU and if Zack Snyder didn't have to face unfortunate family events, it may have been even better. I am looking forward to what the future of the DCEU holds and how it is going to handle solo films to further character development and how they are going to handle the Justice League sequel. I would recommend this film to family's and die hard DC fans any day due to the immense creativity and crisis that was dealt within this film.
