Enjoyable!

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2017)

For starters, if the Flash dies do not bring him back to life please. Honestly his character almost ruined the entire movie for me. Clearly I am not the only one who felt this way since I could hear the audience cringing with every line he spoke. We get it alright? He is a nerdy millennial with excitement issues. That doesn't mean he has to be so annoying.
Alright moving on. This movie was actually pretty enjoyable! I thought it had a strong start, and as someone who is not that familiar with the Justice League world, the introduction of each character was exactly what I needed. I think the directors did a good job giving the viewer enough backstory to build a solid understanding and emotional connection with each member despite the limited time on screen. Not an easy task.
The bad guy aspect was mediocre and stereotypical of a super hero movie; there is nothing special about a supernatural villain wanting to destroy the world. The excitement for this movie came from the Justice League team itself, and their interpersonal interactions, challenges, and eventual success. The return of Superman was exciting, and I found his conflict with Bruce Wane to be genuine in the way it played out. The conversations between Bruce Wanye and Wonder Woman needed a bit more work, and it felt as if the editing failed to bring out their intentions.
Overall I though the movie was exciting, fun to watch, and left me hopeful for future DC movies. My biggest issues with the film were the Flash, awkward editing issues at times, and the sub-par villain.
