No Justice here

Rating: 5/10 (5 February 2018)

Plot; When an ancient threat arises again, Bruce Wayne endeavors to put together a team of heroes with unique abilities to stop it.
In the cinematic battle between DC and Marvel, the former is impossibly far behind. While Marvel is set to bring us their third go 'round with their team of mighty heroes this Summer, DC is just now releasing their first. Add in that Marvel carefully, methodically laid out their characters and their universe while DC zipped around like a fly at a picnic, and thus far it's simply been no contest. Marvel has had its less than stellar entries (Iron Man 3, Thor 2), but as a whole their cinematic universe is strong, cohesive and unified. Can DC even the score a bit with their super team up film? No. No they cannot.
Justice League feels rushed. Not just because characters enter the stage with no solo film to help set them up, but because the entire affair often feels like a shoddy cut 'n paste job. In this day and age of bloated running times I appreciate JL's attempt at brevity, but it's not the result of efficient storytelling so much as some suit saying "Cut! Cut! Trim! Trim!". Not helping matters is that this reported $300 million production looks cheap. The special f/x are anything but and it ultimately looks like a bad video game. Saddled with a weak and undercooked villain, our hero's best efforts aren't enough to save the day.
