Honestly its pretty good

Rating: 8/10 (25 November 2017)

I chose to write this review after reading all the negative press and reviews in the media.
Let me be clear I am no action super hero buff, I took my kids to watch it as they have been bouncing off the walls with excitement waiting for it to come out. As such I went in with low expectations given the huge amounts of negative press.
Am I a film critic, well no, but am I film buff, the answer is firmly yes, and as someone that is not really a super hero fan I can give an unbiased opinion.
The film is generally pretty good, is it perfect clearly not, but for two hours you can sit back and watch a good old fashioned pop corn flick.
Pros The heroes gel really well, the on screen chemistry is great, Ezra Miller as the flash is absolutely hilarious. The film has a lot more humour in it vs. previous DC films and the plot, although as ridiculous as most super hero films, is actually easy to understand and explained. OK so there are some glaring holes, such as no-one explaining how Clark Kent will explain how he came back from the dead but how people can get fussy about plots that are based on super humans and aliens baffles me. Aquaman adds a different layer of humour to the script and wonderwoman fans will be happy as well. The scene where the amazons fight Steppen Wolfe is arguably one of the best in the entire film.
Cons Henry Caville's CGI's upper lip,and the CGI bad guy. You struggle to hate the villain as you can't really consider him as real.
The fact is that I don't see how the film has got such bad reviews, it almost feels like the critics are punishing this film in an attempt to kill of the super hero genre. For most people who want to switch off for 120 mins this film will do the job, and the kids will love it.
