Minor League.

Rating: 6/10 (18 November 2017)

There is always so much to say when it comes to the DCEU. You want to be honest, but also exhibit to the die-hard fans that you're not the villain, especially because, many of us, would love to also see the DC franchise soar.
There is always risk. Infinity War for instance, runs the major risk of being a complete failure, because it has generated anticipation that spans an entire 10 years, a whole decade; so the delivery needs to meet expectations that have been multiplying and amplifying, and that will prove without question, to be one hell of a mountain to climb.
With Justice League, well, it ran the undeniable risk of being compared to Marvel's 2012 Avengers Assemble, and possibly not being up to the task. Justice League ran the risk of not being the first to "do it", and so, if they can't be the first, they can damn sure perhaps, be the best.
There is a rivalry here, hopefully healthy. Hate it or love it, the best way to really judge Justice League, is to compare it directly to Avengers Assemble, and sadly, it is a distant 2nd.
For example; because of BvS: Dawn of Justice, Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman all had already met, so, the excitement of them meeting for the very first time, and also in the very first actual DC team- up extravaganza, that goosebumps inducing moment was dead in the water long before Aquaman could breathe life into its lungs.
Furthermore, Loki, even without comparison, was an amazing villain to watch, and Tom Hiddleston brought him to life excellently. Steppenwolf, was just okay. The CGI on Cyborg was, suspect and the CGI on the Parademons was brutal. Flash's armour wasn't the best either, but, with that one, we understand why. The first act of the movie was Cyborg, Flash and Aquaman's backstory and motive, which was way too much story to fit in, thus it felt a bit incomplete and without that juice, to mention a few.
Watching Justice League, and seeing with my own two eyes that for the first time ever, this union is in fact happening was amazing, but, the film itself, could've been so much more.
Gal Gadot was gorgeous as usual, Flash was on and off, Affleck was, Affleck, and Cavill's Superman was truly awesome actually, but the ones who stole the show were Jeremy Irons and Jason Momoa. They probably fall within the characters who received the least screen time, but, like those "3 minutes", Jason especially, made it count.
The League vs Superman fight was stunning, and what Superman said to Batman was just so truly, piercing... I absolutely loved it. That entire sequence/scene is hands down, the best in the movie. The energy it had, was enough to have been the one to bring Superman back to life... And honestly, it did.
Justice League isn't bad, entirely, but, it's definitely not in The Major Leagues. I'll say it again, DC has such incredible characters, but Warner Bros. aren't doing them, True Justice. 6.2/10.
