Justice League - Film Review



Hi guys

Recently went to see Justice League the latest in the DCEU which follows on from Wonder Woman and more importantly Batman Vs Superman.

The latter film was panned critically but I enjoyed it giving it 9/10 when I reviewed it last year and even though the production for Justice League has been in turmoil with Director Zac Snyder leaving and Joss Wheadon from Avengers coming in to do re-shoots.

The film does suffer slightly from the production hassle but I think the main problem is how similar it feels to Avengers even down to the Mother boxes in the film which can destroy life on Earth being like the Tesseract in Avengers.

Another problem is Steppenwolf who is the CGI big bad looks like a PlayStation 3 end boss and his motive isn't right good.

The film I felt needed to be longer as some of the cast don't get enough screen time and are a bit wasted including J K Simmons as Commissioner Gordon and Amy Adams as Louis Lane.

The film is set after Batman Vs Superman and hope has left the Earth after Supermans death.
Bruce Wayne/Batman again played by Ben Affleck knows there is an invasion coming due to his future vision and finding Parademons around Gotham so enlists the help of Wonder Woman played again by Gal Gadot and new recruits Cyborg - Ray Fisher, Aquaman - Jason Momoa and Flash - Ezra Miller.

Plus - SPOILERS - they use one of the boxes to bring back Superman - Henry Cavill.

Overall there are some great action scenes and character moments including Cyborg relationship with his Dad.  I loved when Superman came back confused and fought the league he wiped the floor with them.

Hopefully there will be a sequel which looks to be set up in post credit scene. 


Score    -    8/10
