I saw the movie about a month after its release and noticed the amount of negative criticism the film got. After seeing the film I really don't understand why. I personally feel critics are way to harsh on movies and just set their expectations too high. It was constantly being compared to Marvel film franchise where it shouldn't be. Marvel takes a light heart-ed comedic approach to their movies while DC takes the darker emotional route. I am a fan of both Marvel and DC and love seeing any superheroes come to life on the big screen. They stuck to the DC mythology well, while tying the characters into each other.
If you enjoyed the precursor films to this movie then you will enjoy this film.
With all said and done the movie was very enjoyable, it had a very good flow between action scenes and just dialogue. The effects were outstanding, and the fight scenes were impressive in terms of choreographed and effect. I really liked the characters design, for example the portrayal of Aquaman, making him cool as sht, compared to wimpy one were use to seeing talk to dolphins. They touched on things you wouldn't normally even think of like Bruce/Batman feeling like an outcast from the group, where he see's himself useless to the team through not having superhuman powers. I thought that was a nice touch.
The one aspect about the film I thought was odd was the revival of Superman. I mean I knew it was going to happen and I don't really understand why they choose to kill him off in the last film if they knew he would be resurrected anyways. Most likely from wanting an emotional/shocking response from the Batman vs Superman ending. I just think resurrections are lame in story telling.They did spin some humor into the scene where Flash kept mentioning Pet Cemetery.
You have to stay till the end credits to see Joe Manganiello as Deathstroke. Woo!
Overall the movie was fun and I enjoyed the seeing the start of the DC Universe. I hope to see more of the Justice League films in the future where they expand the round table and take on Darkseid. I wouldn't take kids under 12 to see it, might be too complex for them.
