About this movie

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Ratings and reviews

This movie was not enjoyable for me. The shift in tone was jarring. Coming from the events of BvS the changes were not natural. It wasn't gradual like I imagined it would be. The quippy remarks and one-liners seemed forced and pretty unfunny some of the time. BvS storylines seemingly abandoned. Then the reshoots were so painfully obvious and distracting mostly because Batman goes from Batfleck to Fatfleck in the same scene. The only way I could've marginally enjoy this movie more was if I got temporary amnesia during the movie so I can watch it like BvS never happened.

The entire movie was rushed, there was no character development at all. All these stories crammed into a movie of just an hour and forty something minutes was a total waste of time. Superman is the ultimate Gary Stu. He shows up way later in the story able to defeat the bad guy as if he alone is the Justice League. Batman's role was reduced to be annoying. We need Superman, we need Superman. Yeah, this is definitely not Batman.

Pretty bad for a Zack Snyder film, and that man doesn't make bad films. Man of Steel, Watchmen, and Wonder Woman are better DC films than JL. This movie kinda felt like an unfinished Frankenstein. It has forgettable music, awkward scenes, bland fight scenes (aside from Superman beating the JL up), and obvious make-up was obvious on everyone. It doesn't have nearly as much care and attention to detail put into it that Snyder is known for. It also didn't have much exposition on what the heart and motivation of the Justice League is. It did make Superman's motivation clear. A better title for the movie would be "Waiting for Superman"... I still bought it though...
