I wanted to like this

Rating: 1/10 (17 January 2019)

Watch as DC tries to achieve a success but misses by a long shot. Before people dismiss my criticisms as being a "DC Hater" or someone who was paid by Marvel to give this movie a bad review, I actually wanted this movie to be good. I liked Gal Gadot in Wonder Woman and thought that Ezra Miller had potential to be a good Barry Allen. Unfortunately, I was let down.
With confused writing and yet another CGI villain, Justice League falls flat on it's face. Part of the issue comes from the switching in tone after Snyder left the project and Whedon was signed on due to a tragedy in Snyder's family. I found it disappointing that the other members of the league did next to nothing in the final battle against the main villain next to the newly resurrected Superman and his never-ending Jesus symbolism, proving that the whole subplot of Superman being dead adds nothing to the plot when he's brought back to do everything instead of giving a chance to the newer additions, like the Flash and Cyborg, to actually do something of importance in this film besides showing up and watching as action happens. Affleck's portrayal of Batman is one of the worst parts of the movie. The tonal shift in this movie hits Batman the hardest, seeing that one minute he's grim and mysterious, and the next he makes jokes and attempts to seem "more humane" by making jokes: "I guess I do bleed!" and when asked what his superpowers were, he responds smiling "I'm rich."
This movie had potential with it's casting, but all of this flies out the window and drags on for what seems like hours. The villain in this movie, who I don't even remember the name of, serves as a punching bag. No real depth at all in his character, and he poses no real threat compared to the resurrected Caped Jesus that is Superman and his "team". If you're looking for a good time, you're in the wrong place, as the bad things outweigh the good but tons. Not recommended in the slightest.
