Entertaining

Rating: 7/10 (1 December 2017)

Entertaining is a very accurate description for this movie. It's not more, it's not less, just entertaining.
The story is as very standard one (bad guy comes around, heroes joke around, heroes kick bad guy back to where he came from), so not very interesting and it is very poorly told. It feels like the whole plot is a mere excuse to bring the five members of the Justice League together. The sad thing about this is that a couple of interesting elements from the DC universe got presented to the viewer in a very uninteresting way (e.g. the motherboxes, parademons), so JL leaves the audience behind with no real affection towards the whole DC universe. I think that's a missed opportunity. Of course, the root cause of this problem is that DC is trying to build up the universe too fast. They don't take their time to introduce anything properly, including the main characters (!).
Anyways, if you don't care too much about the plot, you get to watch a quite enjoyable movie, actually. The heroes are fun, they interact quite well. Each of them has his/her own charm and role in the League. Of course The Flash (Ezra Miller) draws a lot of attention, thanks to his humorous scenes, but all the others are pretty cool as well - especially Aquaman (who is the hero with the highest coolness factor amongst five cool heroes - well done, Mr. Snyder!) and Wonder Woman (who I hope will lead the JL in future movies, she's a badass character and at the same time the most reasonable in this chaotic posse).
CGI is mediocre at best, action scenes are still cool (especially the Amazons' fight scenes!). Steppenwolf won't scare you, but the apocalyptic pictures towards the end look pretty awesome.
The score is meh, apart from "Batman on the roof".
Apart from that, JL had two goosebumps-moments for me. One is the very first Batman scene, and the second one during the fight at Superman's monument (you will know which one I mean). There are a bunch of candy for people who love the (JL- and Batman-) comics; I have the feeling Snyder read very deep into the comics and caught their spirit very well. That's why I rate JL 7 stars instead of 6.
