Honest Review

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2017)

The movie was a good movie, I wouldn't say great as it had it's flaws but I will keep it simple. As a DC and Marvel fan, I enjoy both while seeing the good and bad in both. I feel like every review is trying too hard to convince you this was perfect or that it was utter trash, it is neither.
Con's first,
-The villain could've been more but to be honest, this is the problem the majority of comic book movies have so it didn't make a huge difference for me
-Feel like a lot of important pieces were left on the cutting floor to meet the silly 2 hour restriction
-CGI could've been flushed out a little more, it wasn't as horrendous as people are making it out but it wasn't perfect for sure
-The story could've had a lot more weight considering this is a world ending type of invasion
Pro's now
-This is the justice league, every character has their moment to shine and leaves you wanting to see more of them. There is some good development on all the characters and the dynamics between the members were great.
-There was some comedic humor in the movie, not too much that it felt like a Marvel movie but enough to give you a good giggle here and there.
-The action sequences were probably the highlight of the movie, visually rewarding and entertaining (expected from a Snyder movie)
-End Credit scenes were brilliant, 2 different tones but definitely gives hope for the direction the DCEU is heading
-A lighter tone while retaining a shade of DC, keeps the personality without becoming too light or too dark. Was good to see more daytime sequences and a better overall tone.
-Flowed smoother than previous DC instances, it was a little on the faster side but didn't disrupt the flow. Previous outings it felt like you were playing catch up the whole movie... this one definitely flowed better.
-Soundtrack was good, not great... we still haven't hit anything along the lines of John William's score type of level. Nothing too memorable but nothing which was painful either... it was good.
Overall - The movie is a step in the right direction for DC, there will be those who hate with a agenda or overreact because of a single point. Truth is these are super hero movies, most of them are flawed but the key point is whether it is entertaining... this was entertaining, visually rewarding and gives hope where previously there wasn't. I would recommend you watch it yourself, if you are expecting perfect... no super hero movie really is but if you expect a super hero movie, then it is definitely one of the better products from both studios, not the best but definitely on the better side.
