Justice League: Too little, too soon

Rating: 5/10 (5 May 2018)

So DC holds the two biggest superheroes in the World (Superman/Batman) so why are they getting so thoroughly dismantled by Marvel? Why is their universe simply not working?
I think there are a number of reasons but the primary one is that they are using a failing formula. Look at Marvel, they established each character with their own movie(s), they did a slow build in creating their universe and introduced the characters to one another over time.
DC however didn't, they did a couple of Superman movies, Wonder Woman, the messy Batman vs Superman and the barely connected to the DC Universe (At that time) Suicide Squad. And then like that boom Justice League without establishing Aquaman, Cyborg or Flash.
I'm rooting for DC don't get me wrong but at this stage it'll take something special to turn things around. Batman vs Superman should have been one of the biggest movies of all time yet fell flat and Justice League suffers from the same ills.
A massive cgi-fest that feels rushed and forced, an Aquaman who is no doubt badass but simply isn't Arthur Curry, a villian so dull he at no point felt like a threat and a generic army of henchmen.
Justice League was supposed to be DC's crown jewel but is just another further demonstration that they have absolutely no idea what they're doing.
The Good:
Performances are solid for a movie of this genre
The Bad:
Aquaman is poorly cast
All feels rushed
Action scenes are hit and miss
Terrible antagonist
Henry Cavill is just awful
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Aquaman is going to be dreadful
DC is not and will never be able to compete with Marvel
