Better than BvS and Suicide Squad. But it ain't Wonder Woman.

Rating: 7/10 (17 November 2017)

Justice League is... an aggressively okay film. It's a well-meaning, sometimes conflicted and overly ambitious film that's going to be looked back upon as one of the notable but less memorable films of the superhero era of cinema. It's like a burger from McDonald that is produced in an assembly line fashion: pets of the burger are genuinely good and well- made, but the sum of its parts does introduce problems that does bring down the experience of eating it while admitting it was still an okay meal in the end despite some of the pets affecting the product.
Justice League essentially boils down to this: it's Batman mixed with The Avengers. Outside of Batman, Wonder Woman and The Flash, Cyborg, Aquaman and Superman don't truly find their footing in this film. But the Man of Steel does brighten things up when he IS introduced later on. Aquaman is fun but we don't get enough of him to see why he's different to Batman and the others. We're introduced to these potentially monumental characters only for their potential to be deliberately left over for future sequels to the Justice League Movie.
In the end, this is WB's Avengers and while it could have been something more than that, it doesn't really try pretending to be anything else. That is part of the problem but I enjoyed myself just fine. It's inoffensive fun that shouldn't be taken too seriously. It's a perfectly okay movie.
I'm guessing Dunkirk, IT and Blade Runner 2049 put less pressure on Warner Brothers to make Justice League the be-all-and-end-all film it was originally being made out to be. Enjoy it for what it is: men in tights fighting and saving the world for two hours. Nothing more; nothing less.
