The Original Super Team Hits the Big Screen

Rating: Null/10 (17 November 2017)

The movie is being slammed by critics. My guess is because it's not full of jokes and jokes and poop jokes and more jokes and isn't an insult to the intelligence like Thor: Ragnarok, which they hilariously have at over 90% on RT even though that movie was terrible.
The movie is about the world still grieving over the death of Superman, and as Steppenwolff arrives on Earth to collect the Mother Boxes, Batman and Wonder Woman are forced to recruit other people like them. Each one with their own unique personality and character (something Marvel isn't very good at, considering everyone in the MCU is "The Funny One)
The action was great. The characters were dynamic and interesting and there was actual chemistry between the cast. When they got into it arguing over whether or not to bring Superman back, it didn't feel forced and generic and an attempt to force chemistry like in the two Avengers movies.
Steppenwolff is being blasted by critics for not being interesting, but he had much more going for him as a character than the scrubs in the MCU. You actually felt like he was a real threat, one that would take a team of heroes to combat, unlike Loki who was just throwing a temper tantrum or Ultron who was just telling jokes and wanted to throw a rock at the Earth.
Everything with Superman was great, from seeing Lois coping with his death, to his resurrection, to him and Lois on the farm, and finally when he joins the final fight against Steppenwolff. They didn't have the John Williams Superman theme in the film, my guess is Whedon chopped it out because he was offended that Superman wasn't brought back by baseball cards or "Just Because" like when MCU characters come back.
The movie is being panned, but it just shows how out of touch the critics really are. They expect every movie to be a Mickey Mouse joke fest that focuses on humor over character and anything else.
It was refreshing to see the heroes actually fight the main villain for a change in a team-up movie. Unlike in The Avengers where the main villain was beaten very easily by one Avenger (Loki in a comedy sequence that ruined his character and Ultron by Scarlet Witch when she threw a fit about her brother being slower than bullets).
The Lasso of Truth scene with Aquaman was great. I laughed, and it was funny because it was actually funny, not just a forced joke like the MCU.
Flash stole the show, and was a highlight every scene he appeared in. He has a great scene with Superman in the mid-credits, which was a throw back to the classic story where Superman and Flash had a race to see who was faster, and it even did a slow-mo shot that was reminiscent of the cover to that issue. THe post-credit scene showed Lex Luthor and Deathstroke, teasing the Legion of Doom.
Wasn't an amazing movie. But I loved it. It was fun, the action was great, the characters actually had character and they each played their part in the finale unlike in the bloated Avengers movies where Thor did a few lighting shots but not much else.
Give it a chance. Put the biased critics who want everything to be pratfalls and anus jokes to the side and form your own opinion. If you see it for yourself and judge it for yourself, it was a good movie. Not great. But good. And I'm glad to see the original super team on the big screen, the team Stan Lee copied with the Avengers.
Hope when the BLu-ray comes out we can see the Snyder cut, to see all of the things Whedon obviously chopped out.
