So much better than I expected

Rating: 9/10 (28 November 2017)

I always thought DC had set themselves a difficult task in trying to play catch up to Marvel Studios Avengers. There is no where near the number of movies developing the characters as Marvel had and in my opinion the JL line up chosen for the movie contained two characters I've only ever been Luke warm over. So coupled with some of the less than complimentary reviews I'd read about this movie my expectations weren't great. Thankfully I was very pleasantly surprised. I thought every aspect of this movie was excellent. Casting was definitely on point and I loved each actors portrayal of their characters and the interaction between them and look forward to future stand alone movies further exploring and developing these characters. I also thought the story was epic in its scope. To me it made sense that it would take a threat of the magnitude they faced to bring such independent and disparate heroes together for the first time so worked really well. The special effects were amazing and I loved the sound track and thought it appropriate. I can imagine someone that hasn't followed the DC universe prior to this movie could find it a bit overwhelming (most critics I'm guessing) since it covers a lot of ground but if you're a fan of the DCU I can't see why you wouldn't love this movie.
