Surprise Star Among Many Stars

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2017)

First of all, it is important to note that it is helpful (although not necessary) to see 'Batman vs. Superman' prior to seeing this film. This is because 'Justice League' follows that movie chronologically, so therefore the first few minutes of the movie will make more sense. The events from 'Batman vs. Superman' are an underlying story line of 'Justice League', but you will be able to catch on quickly without having seen 'Batman vs. Superman'.
With that said, overall, the film is surprisingly good. To be honest, I am more of a Marvels fan but after seeing 'Wonder Woman' and enjoying that film; I wanted to see this film. Therefore, my deciding factor behind seeing this film was my enjoyment of 'Wonder Woman' and once again, Gal Gadot shines as Wonder Woman/Diana Prince. However, the surprise standout of the film Ezra Miller as The Flash/Barry Allen. Miller and his character were used as the comedic relief of the movie, and it definitely worked. His comedic timing and witty lines were the highlights of the movie. Besides Miller's standout performance, the rest of the cast all seemed to gel together well making it believable that the Justice League will come together to save the world.
The last thing worth mentioning is the main theme of the movie - to never give up hope, even in the darkest of times. This theme not only came across in the dialogue of the film, but in the entire cast's portrayal of their characters. They made it believable that if we have hope, everything will be okay in the end.
