Broad Reviews - Film
Minor spoilers ahead.
The long-awaited Justice League film, whose anticipation has softened after the bad reputation of the DCU's starting films, has finally come. Was it worth the rushed start and skipping the solo films of its leading members? Well, we'll see...
Personally, I thought the film was good. Miles better than Batman v Superman, but it still had a few problems.
In regards to the characters, Batman and Wonder Woman were good and developed because of their presence in previous films.
The Flash was really enjoyable during action scenes, but was pretty annoying when he spoke. He was pretty much there for comic relief.
Cyborg was by far the least interesting of the team. We're given bits of his backstory through exposition, but his character was so dull that I just can't get attached to his character.
Aquaman was the best of the new Justice League team members. He was really fun to watch, even without much depth/development.
The biggest let down was the villain, Steppenwolf. He had no characterisation whatsoever and had no defining motivation for doing what he was doing. Even his voice was devoid of charisma. An easily forgettable, generic villain.
There was one more character addition that I can't get into details about because it's full of spoilers, so I'll just brush over it lightly. It was great seeing this character on screen, but he only appeared about two-thirds of the way in, and his character arc was very rushed and could have been brilliant if it had the chance to breathe. Plus his involvement in the film's final climax just made the climax feel easy as soon as he arrived.
As for the visuals, they were impressive for some of it, but the CGI was very noticeable in areas; so much so that it just became distracting (particularly Cyborg and a certain character's digitally-removed moustache).
In the end, Justice League was an enjoyable film for a casual watch. The thing that the DCU needs is patience. They're rushing too quickly to catch up to Marvel, and as a result their films are suffering. They have the potential to produce quality films if they do two things: take their time in writing and planning their universe, and by replacing Zack Snyder (and let the filmmakers actually make the film without the studio butting in to take control).
Overall score: 7.2/10
