An entertaining ride, if nothing else
“Spoiler Warning: It is difficult to fully discuss and evaluate Justice League without divulging what some may consider to be spoilers, at least while the movie is a new release. A spoiler warning is therefore in effect.
The good news is that 2017's Justice League is not the downright disaster that many of us were anticipating, given the considerable behind-the-scenes reshuffling and the slipshod quality of its immediate predecessor, 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. It is a bit of a mess, the narrative is too simplistic, and it's not a home run by any stretch, but it's also not altogether unappealing either, as Zack Snyder - and Joss Whedon - avoid the gloomy self-seriousness which has thus far characterised the DC Extended Universe. The action sequences are rousing, and” read more

“Even though the DCEU movies didn't get much love so far, except for 'Wonder Woman', I was still eager to check this flick. Well, it was not bad at all after all. Eventually, even though it might be unfair, the main problem was that Marvel has set the expectations so high following the huge critical and commercial success of 'The Avengers'. I mean, this movie did work but it still never reached the level of the classic delivered by Marvel. Even with Barry Allen and the Flash who was your average wise-cracking teenager, Marvel already used the same trick with Peter Parker with some tremendous result. Still, the Justice League is a great team of super-heroes, the cast was really spot on and it was pretty neat to see how they managed to bring all these characters together. Still, even though” read more
Top 10 Best Movies of 2017
“Let’s start with the good, Justice League is a leap above both Suicide Squad and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and about on par with Man of Steel. So clearly, WB/DC may be heading in the right direction with the material, finally, but it’s still bogged down by numerous problems. Chiefly, the insistence on sticking with Zack Snyder’s hollow imagery, clashing of tonal styles, and a general sense of things being rushed to a finish line instead of organically taking their time to happen. The likes of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman didn’t need a series of origin stories to tell their tales prior to teaming up. They’re iconographic and well-known enough that everyone is familiar enough with them, but that still leaves half of the team to get introduced (Flash, Cyborg), A” read more
Seen in 2017 (341 movies items)"Biggest problems I had with the film were the pace that was just too fast. The movie had no time to breathe when it was just jumping scene to scene. The humor itself wasn't the problem even if there were few misses but there are some characters, like the Batman, that maybe shouldn't use similar style of humor like the Flash. I really liked all of the JL members and the overall the movie was still really enjoyable and considering all of the problems they had during the production I was expecting"

When Critics and Audiences Disagree (277 movies items)"Critics: 40% Audiences: 75% Critics Consensus: Justice League leaps over a number of DC movies, but its single bound isn't enough to shed the murky aesthetic, thin characters, and chaotic action that continue to dog the franchise."
Movies Watched in 2017 (72 movies items)"2017/11/16 @Goodrich Kalamazoo 10 Theater 1, Row 4 via MoviePass Fun superhero movie. My biggest complaint with DC is that the pacing is too quick. They are like a fan writing the story and are just too excited to put every character and every story from the comics into the movie. Three of the characters in this movie just showed up, with no real build up, or development. That said, the action was good, the comedy was enjoyable, and the story decent enough."

While undeniably disjointed and barely cogent, Justice League is a serviceably entertaining superhero film that delivers on the action and spectacle. It's certainly much more paletable th"
