Thoroughly enjoyable

Rating: 9/10 (8 August 2018)

After suffering superhero fatigue from watching Iron Man 25, or whatever number the Marvel Iron Man remakes have reached now, I thoroughly enjoyed the more grown up Justice League. The DC Universe doesn't feel the need to crack a joke every 20 seconds like Marvel movies(10 in Thor), this makes it feel more like reading a DC comic book which often dealt with darker themes. The colour palette in the movie is brilliantly done, remiscent of the beautiful airbrushed artwork of the 80's comic books I read as a child.
The criticism of the bad guy is valid, he is boring and generic, but then again, so is the bad guy in countless cape movies.
The one thing I found jarring was the casting of Jason Mamoa as Aquaman, I couldn't think of many actors worse suited to the role. As I stated earlier, the movie's visuals are highly reminiscent of 80's artwork, so why you wouldn't cast an Aquaman that looked and acted like hero we grew up with is hard to understand and may negatively affect the upcoming movie. Maybe enough GOT fans will up the attendance.
Anyway, ignore the critics, unless you are a fanatical Marvel movie fan you will probably enjoy this movie.
