A major disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (21 November 2017)

I am a hardcore DC fan, and getting sick of the way Marvel makes their movie with the same formula years to years. Seeing the trailer of JL, I thought there'd finally be a hope. I was terribly wrong! This movie felt like a 2 hours trailer. The only thing it has ever created was a chaotic world where Earthlings questionably divided into 3 'clans' and know nothing about each other's existence (which ridiculously leads Steppenwolf into this world !?), then throw a bunch of individual-with-super-power- but-have-no-awareness-of-keeping-their-secret-identity, running (and riding, and flying, and blah... blah... blah...) with zero idea why, from beginning til the end. Batman has been awfully downgraded into a flaw copycat of Tony Stark, but mentally weaker. Flash was fast, but tried too much to be Spider-man, even though his joke was not that funny. Cyborg was Hulk-with-iron-skin, always questioning his existence and think-out- loud that his gift is nothing but an abomination. Wonder Woman was sadly 'Captain DC', who usually gives lectures (with her own case as reference) to other members, and calls them 'babies' in the end. They are basically the trying-to-be-cool-rich-guy, the young and impulsive (quite literally), the whinny, and the pretty face who always pretend that it is not her biggest advantage. Sounds familiar now? Aquaman is a surprisingly good character, but could not save the whole movie. The plot is super simple, cliché and predictable. Attempt for spoiling this movie is unnecessary since there is no plot twist, no unexpected detail to actually make a surprise turn. We all knew Superman would return. If you wanna ruin your best friend's experience before he watch JL, I am sorry but it'll be your only card. After all, in Batman V Superman they literally killed Superman. In JL, the killed the Batman. Please, do yourselves a favor and don't go to the cinema for this. Just wait for the DVD version.
