A missed opportunity for the most important movie in the DC Extended Universe

Rating: 5/10 (17 November 2019)

"Justice League" brings together the most iconic superheroes of DC comics to defeat evil once again. So, this should have been the most important movie in the DC Extended Universe, it should have been something different, original and with charismatic and memorable characters.
The plot is always the same, an evil mastermind wants to destroy the Earth and conquer the universe. I don't even want to criticize this, obviously if Hollywood keeps doing movie with a story seen already many times, it means that is a formula that works and sells. So let's take a quick look to characters, I really liked Batman and Wonder Woman, for me the best two heroes in the Justice League. Flash was just okay, he just add a little bit of comedy in the movie, but that's all, he never stands out. Comprehensible, being his first ride as a superhero, but honestly you forget him easily. Cyborg is the guy that is taking care of all the technological stuff, basically a war machine. Aquaman, a useless character, the final battle is in fact located in a complete dried location, so he cannot even use his powers at best. And last, but not least Superman, that will come back, just to be in some filler scenes and in the last 5 minutes of the final battle and only because all the other heroes were struggling.
In the end I've understood that everything could have been solved by Superman alone, so all the other characters are basically useless. Honestly from this movie I was really expecting more: I am a fan of the DC Extended Universe but, in this case I just watched the average superhero movie pumped with CGI and very few practical stunts scenes. A big step back from "Batman V. Superman", which started to give me hope about this cinematic universe.
