Guilty Pleasure

Rating: 6/10 (14 December 2017)

The movie's a mess but there's something about this that made me like it more than Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman. Suicide Squad was a generic blockbuster finished with atrocious editing and BvS was an insult to everything I loved about movies and DC Comics in general.
Justice League doesn't have this problem. It fails in a ton other areas but I couldn't help but like it. I even liked this more than Thor Ragnarok, which is weird because Thor 3 is a much better movie than Justice League.
I guess it came down to not feeling disappointed. I wasn't expecting much. I just didn't want to feel miserable and I wanted "justice' for Superman. I had a fun time watching this movie and my favorite moments were the scenes involving Superman. They pretty much delivered for me.
I can understand the flaws too. Steppenwolf was boring, the film was ugly to look at, and the last minute editing was very noticeable (although, I didn't notice the upperlip which is still an issue (why didn't they make Henry Cavil put on a fave beard for Mission Impossible? Did he really need the authenticity? )). As much as I hate his directing skills, I still feel bad that Zack Snyder's cut was butchered by Warner Bros. I really did like the scenes Joss made but the movie would have been better if it was longer than two hours.
Oh well. Better luck next time.
