Proof the Marvel formula works

Rating: 6/10 (16 November 2017)

Don't worry, it's not a joke fest but the lighter tone certainly works better than that dark nonsense. Still the same cherry picking from the source but no way as bad as BvS. It's New 52 but with more focus. The CGI is excessive at times and the individual story arcs are forced at times.
There are some pleasant surprises. The trailers did a good job of not giving much away. Now as a comic book fan I do have to Nit-pick some of the deviations. One was horrible. I won't mention which one but it was bad but doesn't hurt the overall theme. There is a heavy Avengers influence, which isn't a bad thing but DC needs to reach into their own source and adapt Barry and Cyborg much better. Jason Momoa steals the show, along with Wonder Woman who is currently DCEU'S best character. My only issue is they power her down in this, which really bothered me. Team doesn't mean the members need one person to save them, they are all supposed to be as powerful as the other and together they can take care of any threat. But to an extent it was fan service so I fully understand why Zack and Chris Terrio wrote this film the way that they did.
Not bad at all and not too dark for the kids. Not great, but a much better start in the right direction.
