Better than expected

Rating: 7/10 (14 June 2018)

Just watched this movie on DVD. I did not go to see it at the cinema because of the poor reviews. I have not watched Batman v Superman for similar reasons so I did not understand a lot of the back story to Justice League. Overall, I thought the movie was good: not great but good. The humour was appropriate, the fight scenes were exciting and the story was okay as well. CGI was a bit dodgy at times but it did not stop me rewinding and re-watching all the fight scenes. And I did not have to fast forward at all - always a good sign. I even cried when Superman came back. I personally thought some of the character chemistry a bit forced but that might just be me. I know people have criticized Steppenwolf (and I understand why) but I thought he was okay in a 1980s video game 'boss battle' sort of way - no real personality or back story - but tough and hard to beat which I think is all you want in a fantasy superhero movie. Overall a good and satisfying movie: definitely 7 out of 10 (possibly 7.5).
