kinda bored me

Rating: 6/10 (17 February 2018)

Superman (Henry Cavill) is dead. Batman (Ben Affleck) encounters a winged alien and evidences of three powerful boxes. Fearing a coming alien apocalypse, he gathers a group of superheroes with ally Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot). They recruit The Flash (Ezra Miller), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), and Cyborg (Ray Fisher) forming the Justice League.
I know most of the complaints being leveled against this movie. What surprised me is that the movie kinda bored me. I have lots of nitpicks but overall, the simplistic ragged storytelling leaves me wanting. The first thing I notice is the inferior CGI. Some of it looks more like a video game. I know about the unmustaching but it's not obvious on a smaller TV. Something is fake about his face but there is a lot that looks fake in this movie. The storytelling is jumpy and doesn't really flow. The villain is one dimensional at best and lacks any compelling characteristics. As for the JL members, they are generally good with the most glaring problem coming from Batman himself. For some reason, he has turned quippy which doesn't fit this version of Batman. Flash is a lonely nerd somewhere on the spectrum. I don't mind that but they don't expand on it. Wonder Woman is wonderful and she has some of the better emotional moments with the other members. Cyborg is a fine addition. Aquaman is a great character but his story probably has some stuff cut from the movie. Hopefully, his movie will expand on that. I do like this more than BvS. It has many problems but at least, it's a not mess like that one.
