Alright, but could have been so much better

Rating: 7/10 (1 March 2018)

The most epic movie in the new DC Universe! Or, that's what it was supposed to be. I thought the movie wasn't as bad as some people are suggesting. It is very exciting to see some of your favorite superheroes beat the sh*t out of a villain. Even though it was a very generic villain. The resurrection of Superman was a strong part of the movie, even if it was just a reason to make Superman fight other superheroes.
However, Justice League had so much more potential than this, and most of the reviews are so negative, because people expected more of it (and rightly so).
Zack Snyder kicked off the new DCU with Man of Steel (2013) and tried to give it the same dark, ominous feeling as Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy had. Unfortunately, he failed. He tried it again with Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016), did slightly better, but still didn't come close to Nolan's work. With Justice League, it seems he has tried a different approach. There's a lot more comedy going on in this movie. The tension between the heroes, cheesy one-liners, you name it. At times, I had the feeling I was watching a Marvel movie. But the only character that made it feel natural was Barry Allen/The Flash. When any other character attempted to make a joke, it just felt awkward and unnatural. So the comedy route didn't work out that well either for Snyder.
After Man of Steel and Batman vs. Superman being average movies with very little sense of direction, Justice League continues that same trend. And I feel like the only one to blame for the lack of direction is, indeed, the director.
Decent movie, but lead by someone more capable, this could have been an amazing movie.
