Poor man's Marvel, where's the Justice?

Rating: 5/10 (18 January 2018)

"Justice League" was the film everyone was waiting for, a year's worth of speculation and a year's worth of hype, for what?
Overall the whole production looked rushed, the story was weak, the superhero ensemble fell flat, this is a film that should've been shelved for longer, wait until each of the five characters had their own independent film released to give some semblance of a backstory before releasing this "Justice League".
Ben Affleck is about as unconvincing a Batman that you're going to get, he's had a lot of stick about this role and rightfully so, he's no Christian Bale, heck he's not even Adam West, he just plain sucks at being Batman!
This "Justice League" looks like something that would've been produced back in the nineties, maybe with Val Kilmer still playing Batman..., the CGI was terrible, reminiscent of the early days, the villain was plain rubbish (couldn't they have come up with a better villain from the wide scope they have to choose from?) the CGI and performance of said villain was woeful, borderline insulting.
This is perfect proof that the comic book genre is feeling the effects of a burnout, there's only so much you can do before you end up overdoing it..., the DC expanded universe is seriously suffering and cannot get anywhere near the standards that their rivals Marvel have set, if I were DC I'd take a few years off, count my blessings, and rethink my strategy because there's got to be a better was of producing films and creating an expanded universe than this.
Granted it's not a bad film as film's go, but with all the hype and all the potential that this film had, the end result is staggeringly disappointing, I expected a lot more than what I was given.
