Much better than the critics are letting on

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2017)

So we all know the critics love to pile on DC films and tell us how awful they are. Meanwhile all the things they point out are ten times as bad in a Marvel film but nobody complains. I completely disagree with the critics of Justice League. I think it's a great film for a few reasons. 1. They kept the pace fast. The two hour run time was perfect. There were no slow points in the film where it was just dialogue that nobody cares about. 2. The villain wasn't the main focus of the film, but he was new enough to most audiences to be interesting. Unlike some of the lame Marvel villains of late, this one is sort of a gateway to a villain of importance to the DCU. Let's be honest, none of these films have a villain anymore that's very compelling (since Heath Ledgers Joker). But in this case I thought he was different enough from what they've done previously to be interesting and spoiler alertÂ…. He's an agent of Darkseid who is the big bad they'll be working up to. 3. They kept the darker DC tone, but sprinkled in some humor via the flash. Not Thor level cheese. Just some humor. Where there things that weren't perfect? Sure. There were lots of corny lines that could have been done without and way too much CGI. But for the most part the film was a fun introduction to the rest of the DCU characters that haven't been on film yet. Check it out. I'd say it falls just behind Wonder Woman as far as ranking films in the DCU. Better than any non-guardians of the galaxy Marvel film since Avengers 1.
