loved the team, let down by the reappearance of superman

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2017)

i really enjoyed this film but was most excited by the development, wonder woman and aquaman especially who would make good team leaders if bruce wayne were knocked out or left. barry allen aka the flash provided the best humour, cyborg was very interesting but needed moretime. i liked the effects and action but wasn't completely sold on steppenwolf as a villain, maybe making him all cgi was a mistake, he didn't seem quite real, quite there, this diluted the effect of his appearances. using a real actor would have made for something much more menacing, but some fatalities might have had to be added to increase the threat. i was bored when superman appears, he overpowers everyone else and answers the threat far too quickly almost by himself, which depletes the development given to the other team members and turning the later scenes into another superman movie. they might narrowly, very narrowly have done better on their own without him and the movie might have been more gripping and edge of the seat which it was until then, due to steppenwolf's power. the two extra scenes in the end credits, the very last in particular, were good and set things up nicely for the next movie. hopefully superman will be a team player and will really need the help of the others, maybe he can be rendered powerless in some way (kryptonite?) or given some real problems to solve which he cannot do alone. he really needs to struggle or else the outcome becomes predictable.
