Better then Dawn Of Justice , just because it does less sily things.

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2017)

Justice League - Before, i want to talk about something else. Something i didn't liked , a step backward . And although my rating will not affect due to these points , but i don't want these things to happen again. As we know earlier this year Wonder Woman released. And it did something Hollywood hadn't done yet. It made a successful Female superhero film , with empowerment and without objectifying Woman . . I mean it really raised the interest of female fans. But this movie takes a step backward. And the twitter is full of such angry comments. 1. First the dress of Amazonian warriors were really revealing , which were not in wonder woman. Even in the short time you can notice it. 2. There were quite a few number of BUTT shots with Gal Gadot wearing tight pants , and camera took her pic from behind putting her butt in the middle of the screen. Thats bad really bad. 3. A lot of Sexist jokes. a)In one scene Flash fall over Wonder Woman his face right in front of her cleavage. b) Then while aquaman was talking about each and every member one by one , when reach to Wonder Woman at-last he says She is very attractive . What does that mean , he doesn't have another description for her apart from being eye-candy to the team . c) In Another scene where Gal Gadot was going to talk to Cyborg for the first time , Alfred says SEEMS LIKE U GOT A DATE . I mean why does he has to say it. He knows she is going to talk to him for joining the team. 4. And Lois Lane . Don't even talk about her. The movie doesn't even show her as a reporter , she is just a love interest of Superman , saying sentences to superman like U SMELL GOOD. Doesn't these Woman have self respect. These were some really bad things , which could hurt the female audience. And i don't want DCEU to move to this direction . Woman characters must not be objectified for the sake of producing Jokes. Thank God Wonder Woman has been directed by a female director. Only god knows what will happen to the BATGIRL movie which Joss WEADON is directing as well writing.
So that being said . i promise i will not rate this movie any lower for above reasons. Because i liked and enjoyed the film , in-spite of those points. This one is better then Dawn Of Justice not because it has a better story , infect the story is pretty simple and there were not much complications like it was in case of Dawn Of Justice , but because this movie is very safe and does few silly things.
But the movie was rushed . As WB ordered to cut it to under 2 hrs. That was a wrong decision creatively , but i think WB is pretty much business minded right now thinking of how much Dawn of Justice underperformed(it must have earned a billion which it didn't) and how Blade Runner 2049 get bombed at box office , length of the movie being a major reason.I hope we got to see the extended version when the bluray comes out. Also The whole JOss Weadon light hearted moments , although works sometimes and the audience did laughed a lot , more then me , but the movie could have worked better without them . I really wanted this film to be serious. Its different to get humorous sometimes. Even Nolan use to inject jokes in between Dark Knight trilogy , but those were so less in numbers and so much driven by the plot and characters that they never hurt the tone of the film. Its not the same here. It gets cheeky sometimes. I really don't mind the standalone movies to be light hearted , like it was in case of Wonder Woman , but when it comes to the team movie , it had to be serious , so that stakes could be felt higher.
But again , i laughed even i wanted it to be serious. And the action scenes works. Big time. Even the smaller fights. U will enjoys the fights.
Some more back stories would have been really nice, the whole team just came together too quick . We didn't get to know the character's personal life , specially about Aquaman. I really hoped more scenes of Amber Heard as Mera(yes i like her , even after her controversial divorce with Johney Depp and her flop carrier) . Hope that extended cut (if ever will come) can add some scenes of her.Or i will have to wait for the Aquaman movie.
Talking about Individual characters , Superman was the best thing about this film. And believe me i am a Batman fan . This Superman version of Zack Snyder is very conflicted , a lone survivor in an alien planet. And even being just in less then half of the movie , Superman really elevates the film. They did really interesting things with Superman. One of which is the competing fast moving power of Superman and Flash.
2nd will be cyborg . He is a real value addition . And at the time of him still finding out what he can do , its really interesting to watch him.
Danny Elfman must not get to give music in any DCEU movie again. He was very average . Like he was in Age Of Ultron. Junky Xl or Zimmer could have made this movie so much better.
7.7/10
