All getting-the-team-together shoe leather followed by an entirely green-screen finale. Looks, feels, and sounds like a very expensive TV pilot.
my favorite superhero is aquaman because I too like to contribute to group projects by yelling “MY MAN!” and “ALL RIGHT!” and doing literally nothing else constructive

JUSTICE LEAGUE came in 5th.
Throughout his entire feature directing career, Zack Snyder has never really had to compromise. Of course, there are surely countless incidents where he acquiesced to one small thing or another behind the scenes, none of which his viewing public would ever be able to discern for themselves, but — on a macro level — he’s always gotten his way. Alas, making the Superman movie he wanted to put him in a bit of a hole, and making the Batman versus Superman movie he wanted to made that hole considerably deeper. By the time “Justice League” rolled around, the DC Extended Universe was in peril of collapse, and…
So, is it good? Please say it's good.
It's... okay.
Okay?
Yeah, not great, but not Suicide Squad-levels of bad either. It's safe. Decent. Generally watchable. Mostly enjoyable.
Unavoidable question: How does Justice League stack up against Marvel's 2012 big-screen team-up, The Avengers?
Justice League is like a messier, uglier Avengers: essentially the same plot with the same beats (Bruce = Stark/Fury, Superman = Hawkeye, Steppenwolf = Loki, Mother Boxes = Tesseract, Parademons = Chitauri, etc.) and the same humor, but with a weaker, paper-thin villain and—for (yet another) save-the-world-from-apocalypse superhero movie—strangely lacking of any urgent sense of impending doom whatsoever. Basically what I'm saying is, while they don’t quite nail most things, they at least get the titular characters…
There are a lot of terrible things about this movie, but the one that makes me laugh the most is the way Ben Affleck appears to forget how Bruce Wayne sounds in the middle of a conversations.
Trying to power through this movie is like being stranded in the desert with the worst hangover of your life. There’s no winner. Just all losers.
This is like a bad dream I had during a fever when I was a kid. I can't even be sure it's real.
After subjecting myself to torture by watching the Phantom Menace, I found myself in need of an entertaining, guilty pleasure movie. For me, Justice League is that movie.
I hate how poorly it’s made yet i allow myself to submit to its flaws and find entertainment from trash. It’s like looking at a dumpster and admiring it for the fascinating pattern of mold growing on the side. It’s bad and probably shouldn’t be there, but so oddly mesmerizing.
Original review -> boxd.it/sx3f7
This is a movie with no identity, edited on the fly into as bland of a movie as you’ll ever see. That doesn’t mean I think this at one point would’ve been a good movie as there’s no evidence here to support that. It’s a poorly written movie without a compelling reason as to why these heroes group up, one of the worst villains I’ve seen, and a story that goes nowhere.
Imagine it's the year 2000 and a Warner Brothers executive sees the box office returns for "X-Men." That executive immediately rushes into production a Justice League movie as it's the only superhero team he can name and the company owns. They decide to incorporate the Return of Superman storyline (which has been floating around half a dozen unused Superman scripts at this point)...this is probably the movie that would result. And we'd all be arguing about how it stacks up in the canon of superhero movies. Unfortunately this movie was made in 2017 and is just half baked mediocre nonsense.
Not exactly BAD, but not GOOD either. You can see that there are so many different fingers in this pie…
I don’t know why I was expecting this to be better than it was. Like, let’s GTFO with alien villains and blah blah ancient gods or whatever and kick it back old school with bald ass rich villains or evil super heroes and shit
