Not perfect but very enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (19 March 2018)

I'm genuinely surprised this movie didn't perform as well as expected. Sure there were a few raised eyebrows throughout and some beats being skipped but I suspect that was more to do with studio meddling in the cut than anything.
I really appreciated the dynamic of the characters and actually felt like there wasn't the same sense of inevitability about the team winning like in the Avengers.
I particularly enjoyed Superman and Cyborg's arcs and would have loved to have seen more about their stories in the plot development.
Aquaman was great but I felt like they were trying too hard to take him away from his stigmatised appearance in the comics. Some of his one-liners were a little cringeworthy and unnecessary given how his actions proved his worth time and again.
I was also pleased that, in spite of their much more sexualised outfits compared to the WW outing, the Amazons and WW herself were portrayed with the same dignity as before.
The Flash was great, I thought they nailed him well and Ezra Miller did a far better version of him than Grant Gustin.
I sincerely hope that another JL is rolled out and the story arc is continued.
