Stupid Messy Somewhat Enjoyable Popcorn Flick

Rating: 6/10 (25 November 2017)

It's amazing, how DC Movies fell from the altar of standards, since the Dark Knight. There is an interesting movie under the rubble, on the joint effort of different personalities and the resurrection of a fallen hero. But this is a film, which has been sacrificed for the constraints of time, the frenetic pace, the easy joke, the forced copy of the competition formula. Factors that prevented the narrative from this film to breathe, stupefying the purposes of the different characters, as if the "story" was cooked by too many hands, preventing it from flowing naturally. And yes, the CGI effects are under-cooked too often. And one has to wonder whether the re-shoots were worth it. If the resources, would not have been better used to polish the technical aspects of this film, than to pursue the magic sauce of levity. We will never know, without basis for comparison. Still, there are good moments in this film. The team works well together. There is a visible and pleasant chemistry between the characters. Cyborg was the most pleasant surprise, the comedian flash was funny most of the time, and the Grunge Aquaman was more than eye candy.Batman and Wonder Woman are the pillars of this story. And Superman. not because of the actor's fault, incorporates the best and worst of this film. For every good moment, follows visual noise or narrative inconsistency. In short, if you want to see superheroes fighting, or making meaningless jokes, this movie was made for you. If you belong to a more demanding audience, there is a lot in this movie that leaves some bitter taste in the mouth. Personally I liked the characters, the cinematography (mostly). Did not like: The story, The frenetic pacing, fuzzy special effects. Squeezing all this together. I give 6.5 points out of 10
