Best Ensemble Super Hero Movie to Date!

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2017)

So I'll start off with saying I am primarily a Marvel fan more than DC. Spiderman followed by the X men are my favourite super heroes.
DC has produced by a distance the best DCU film to date and in my opinion the best ensemble Super Hero movie from any studio. By ensemble I mean cast of Heroes from individual properties rather than a team (so not Watchmen, X men, GotG etc).
The pacing is possibly a little fast but draws you in. Nearly every hero gets a character arc (though Wonder Woman's is kind of tacked on and Aquaman doesn't get one). Steppenwolf actually carries a threat to our heroes (a real issue with all 3 Avengers films, yes 3 calling an Avengers film a Captain America film doesn't stop it being an Avengers film).
The action is great. The acting is solid the characters have chemistry and the humour hits the spot without becoming force (unlike Marvel films of late). Each Characters special powers feel different and each gets a chance to shine.
Affleck is really making a claim to knock Heaton off his perch as best Batman (though Bale still claims top spot of making the best Batman films).
I really don't understand the negative reviews compared to other films in the same genre. This film is objectively better than Wonder Woman in every way and easily ahead of the first 2 Avengers films. This also marks the continuation of DC films moving in the right direction and hopefully they will continue. The negative reviews of this films coupled with the positive reviews of Marvel films that are heading in the wrong direction is just damaging the future of Super Hero films.
Disney could learn from DC and their willingness to take risks with characters and plot for the good of the story (even when those risks don't work out like the endless dreams within dreams that ruined BvS). Hopefully Infinity War will take Marvel in a new direction though Civil War and this year's Marvel offerings have me very worried.
However anyone that enjoys good comic book movies should watch Justice League. It has great entertainment and has me excited to see what they do with Darkseid going forward.
