This movie hammers the stuffing out of "Thor: Ragnarok!"

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2017)

I don't know what film the so-called professional critics were bad- mouthing. But, they obviously didn't watch this one. The multiplex auditorium I saw this at was nearly packed to capacity. And that was just for the early evening show!
Ben Affleck returns as Bruce "Batman" Wayne rallying all those super- beings whom Lex Luthor was interested in.
Jason Mamoa as Aquaman: not blond and clean-shaven like the comic book version. But, at least he doesn't have a trident-shaped prosthetic hand or over-exclaim the word "Outrageous!" And, even better? He _does_ wear the orange chain-mail shirt in battle.
Ezra Miller as the Flash: perhaps a little more nerdy than Grant Gustin (his TV-counterpart). Yet, he's just as fast...and just as loyal to his framed-for-murder dad.
Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman: now in the hundredth year of her exile from Paradise Island. Yet, still the most amazing Amazon mankind has ever seen.
And Ray Fisher as Victor "Cyborg" Stone: hacker supreme with butt- kicking physical moves to boot.
How the Dark Knight of Gotham City brings the rest of them together is half the appeal of this movie. The reason why he brings them together is a trio of mcguffins known as Mother Boxes. Apparently, Steppenwolf of the so-called New Gods needs them to phone home! But, Batman has different plans for them. How those plans ruin Steppenwolf's you'll have to see to believe...and enjoy. Suffice it to say, however, most of you will be delightfully surprised.
Speaking of delightful surprises; there are even a couple of sneaky epilogues, during the ending credits, that are so good they're almost Marvel-ous!
In other words: shell out that six or seven bucks at the box office. I guarantee you that this will be super-worth it.
