Something old, something new...

Rating: 8/10 (21 November 2017)

Sooo... I sat behind a huge dude with a massive head and had to watch Justice League leaning to one side. It was worth the discomfort. I liked this movie! Although I am a DC guy, I was not already sold on the re-imagined version of The Flash they were pushing on me. I wanted to see the Cocky, more mature Barry Allen from the Silver age of comics. (But) Like I said, I'm a DC guy so I gave him a shot. Waddaya know, I enjoyed this Flash. Didn't thoroughly like him tripping over his own feet bit, but I get it. They are trying to create a new persona with a younger target market. OK. I'll wait for the mature Flash. I'm a DC guy. I'm really liking Affleck's Batman. I don't think he had enough to do in this movie, but that's to be expected when trying to fit everybody in an ensemble film. I hope he sticks around for the stand alone Batman movie. Gal Gadot lights up the screen every time she's on it so no complaints there. There was a nice bit with Aquaman and her lasso of truth! Speaking of Aquaman... Still trying to get used to the Trident toting rocker version, but It's cool. Works for THIS movie. I wasn't too familiar with the Cyborg character, so I accepted what I saw as presented. I went to this movie with someone who does not read comics, doesn't know much about the DCU and is not familiar with most of the cast/characters. She went on the strength of seeing the last Wonder Woman movie and my recommendation. She liked it a lot! (And) I guess that's the point. Warner Bros is trying to attract a new audience without losing the old one. So yeah, you can't please EVERYONE with this kind of Superhero heritage. Too many years of different incarnations. Will I see the next flick though? You bet... I'm a DC guy.
