Very Entertaining Film

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2017)

I went into this film Open minded and hopeful that it was at least A good movie. And on that level it did not disappoint. The tone of this film has made a slight shift from the previous DC films. Yet not enough to be super out of place in the DCU. And I think that is in part due to the Fact that Joss Weddon had a hand in helping Zach Snyder push this production across the finish line. It does fit in nicely as a follow up to Wonder Woman. Although not to say as solid as Wonder Woman, yet a step up from Suicide Squad for sure and even BvS. So it is a nice course correction for the DCU in conjunction with the fore mentioned Wonder Woman. Now the story Does have some week points as it does get slightly lost but not terribly like the above mentioned Suicide Squad. Now where this movie excelled was in it's building of Character relationships, and not just one or two but all of them. it does it so well in fact that even when they switch up the pairing of Characters throughout the film, I found myself able to really enjoy spending time with them. It did suffer from some bad CGI in places throughout the film and I did feel the villain was week. But before someone goes "aHAH! See they can't get that right!" MOST of the time neither can Marvel. So in this case the Villain really only served as Plot device to unite the Hero's. And because of their strong interactions and very enjoyable screen presence, I can forgive that in this case. And I can find some forgiveness for the Bad CGI because the action is crafted in a fun way and again the moments with the Characters in those action scenes where so well done that it tipped the scales back to positive for me. So over all my first viewing of this film I would give it a solid 82% for solid characters, fun and re-watch-ability. I look forward more optimistically for the future DC Films now than I did before. Oh treat yourself and stay for both end credits scenes. They are worth it.
