A criminally panned movie just because it isn't a masterpiece

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2017)

If you wanna go in expecting CGI in the level of Planet of the Apes Reboots or Avatar, storytelling with the depth of One who flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Shawshank Redemption or Fight Club, action as practical and scenery chewing as Mad Max, Star Wars, or even the good Marvel films, villains as compelling as Joker from the Dark Knight, then I daresay this is not a movie you'd enjoy. Considering it's frustratingly downgrading ratings, I say many people had high expectations from this.
On the opposite, it definitely as flaws about the points I've mentioned above. CGI is sub-par, no doubt. I'll admit I had some issues during the flashback scene and Flash's use of his flashy powers (pardon my puns). But not so intolerable as some are weeping about. Even after hearing the comment on Superman, I was like "So wait? Henry Cavill had a mustache all these time?" The story is straightforward and simple, gather the superheroes, beat the bad guy, save the world. It or any other plot elements are nowhere as confusing or convoluted as BvS to be naturally considered bad. Exact case for the villain, Steppenwolf, who seemed nothing more than an elite brutish thug and herald for upcoming bigger threats, imagine Suicide Squad's Incubus (remember him? me neither, at least not the name for which I had to google) being the major threat instead of Enchantress. So is he good? No. Forgettable? Likely. But still better by a few margins than BvS' Lex Luthor, or Suicide Squad's Joker and Enchantress. Actions, as I mentioned earlier, enjoyed them and didn't saw any considerable flaws.
Enough justifying the faults, on the pro-side, the eponymous Justice League characters are energetic and enjoyable, so much that it's easy to forgot how stupid it felt that the Flash is basically Barry in Wally's name and personality, also that cringe outfit. His naivete, alongside the memetic Aquamomoa, a more optimistic Batman, the adorable Wonderwoman, and Cyborg (whose placement and roles didn't feel too less executed) all gave strong performances. There's jokes and one liners but they're not overflowing like the current Marvel films, for those that hate these. It also barely even felt rushed as a movie that had 1/3rd of it's runtime cut down, by that, expect it's full release (aka extended cut -_-) to be even more better.
So yes the movie can be enjoyable if you're not an overly critical moviegoer and definitely so if you're a comic book fan, since there are a lot of easter eggs and reference decently done.
