Might As Well Review It Now While I Can Remember It

Rating: 6/10 (28 April 2018)

Resume: Batman and Wonder Woman put on a team of number 2s to replace Superman to fight some generic "Steppenwolf" guy (why not Darkseid? Was the CGI actor too expensive?). In the process, they revive Superman who then single-handedly beats the bad guy silly, almost with disdain, saves the innocents and generally steals all of his sidekicks' schticks, being the dick he is and that we all know and love.
I am still struggling to put my finger on what didn't work for me in this movie. Maybe it's the effort to ressemble a Marvel movie. Yeah, Marvel movies are good - but DC have a universe of its own, a universe, might I add, that is usually sunnier and more colorful than Marvel's - I write that now because people would tend to forget it since all DC movies in recent memories were in black and blue. Just like I will also tend to forget this movie in a relatively short while.
Was it the usual generic enemies, the un-inspired CGI, the actors phoning in their distant performences, or the tad too rich super-cheese, I just don't know. In fact I was rather glad it was over, since I rented some more titles for that night. Now that the review is done I can evacuate it, and have a look at that Thor movie.
