Justice league of fails

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2019)

When Earth becomes threatened by an old enemy who's come back to reunite the three power boxes, Batman realizes that he's going to need all the help he can get. Slowly, he starts to assemble a team but as every team needs a leader, he might need to bring back an old "friend".
It's a superhero movie which only from its title reminded me of the beloved cartoons with the same name so I simply had to see it. Unfortunately, what I saw was a bit far from my expectations. It's story is lame to say the least. An old enemy comes to threaten the world so Batman starts recruiting and that's about it. Everyone seems to be willing to join without much hesitation so they start to fight. It's too simple, linear and predictable to make justice for a movie with this title. The characters are not very likeable, having very limited dialog, almost if they were paid by the number of words spoken, and when they do, nothing memorable or even worth mentioning comes out of the actors' mouths. Thus, very little emotion can be generated from such a movie and it's a shame, as it tries to introduce a fair amount of drama but fails miserably.
It simply feels mediocre. From the story, characters and even actors to the action itself. You get a couple of fights and some CGI moments which are a bit more intense but nothing than can keep you breathless. As it also is pretty predictable, almost nothing seems satisfying enough. I know that all seems bad but it's not as bad as it sounds. It's just that I really had some expectations from it, especially as I've seen Aquaman first, and most of them were completely destroyed. It simply doesn't have a story which is capable of getting the most of the characters it has, making them feel weak an even useless at times. They even have an antagonist which feels as lame as the rest of the story and somehow manages to dominate the action every single time.
As far as I'm concerned, this movie is a failed attempt at bringing back the Justice League in live action. It has a bad plot which isn't able to keep up with the weight of its characters, thus making them look bad. The movie doesn't do anything great in any department and this can be easily seen. Even the visual part isn't as spectacular as it could and should have been. You're simply left with the impression that it's a cheap film, average in every aspect with nothing that can make it stand out from mediocrity. Not even its cast couldn't raise it, and this is a great shame.
