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.

I don't know, I'm probably over-saturated, but I'm getting tired of this kind of expensive digital mess that are all on the same page lately. It kinda bothers me that every comic book movie lately has a villain from outer space (except Captain America: Winter Soldier), Batman vs Superman was pretty much holding its own until it culminated in digital madness again at the end, which makes my head hurt. Wonder Woman, Superman and Aquaman are great, Cyborg and Flash are annoyingly uninteresting and Batman didn't show much. The villain is artificial and classically useless even with his entire army. The action isn't very exciting (I prefer battles and shootouts to flying through the air) and the humor is rarely good. I wasn't bored, but I'm not satisfied either. 60%.

If you've managed to tune in to those previous Snyder visions and thoroughly enjoyed the Wonder Woman solo film, then you need to see this. Justice League is straightforward popcorn entertainment. Everything that you have been waiting for so long is here - a team-up starring Gal Gadot and her lasso of truth. Next time there will be a solo film with Mera (and Aquaman by her side). Ok, then. Flash is funny, and Sups and Bat are only badass to the extent that Diana or Alfred will let them. It's nothing that would get a Pulitzer in the paper version, but that's not what these films are about, nor are they meant to be. For as much as I feared Gadot at first, I now see (and watch with some enthusiasm) that it's her cute face that saves the whole DC movie universe (and elevates it even where most would have given up). I'm curious to see what comes next.

It looks like DC wanted to make another team-up film. Which is exactly what happened. A comic book team-up that features a lot of familiar characters, but which works as a team-up for about the last five or ten minutes. The plot is extremely predictable and the villain is very boring, and unfortunately, so is the team of heroes. Flash is at least entertaining. And that is all.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice suffered from beginner's mistakes, but I was able to forgive it many things for its grandeur and its almost comical desire to encompass or touch an entire generation of stories with one film. However, Justice League does not learn any lessons from its predecessor and, on the contrary, is worse in every way. Special effects either get lost in the darkness or appear embarrassingly unfinished in the final battle, the dialogue between Clark and Lois seems like it came from the most awkwardly written fan fiction, and the introductions of Aquaman and Cyborg through summarizing dialogue confuse the viewer more than they clarify anything. A few added lines from Joss Whedon cannot hide the fact that this team movie feels loud and almost obnoxious on all fronts, and if it weren't for the genius of Ezra Miller and the unwavering messiah-like presence of Henry Cavill, the disaster would be complete. When I think about the criticism towards the villains in most of the Marvel movies and then look at the embarrassingly generic development of Steppenwolf, I feel quite ashamed of the barrage of criticism that has been dumped on DC's head after years of effort. The only way forward from here is through solo films, assuming that this path has not already come to an end.

No. I've got nothing to hold on to and nothing to praise. It may look good and you can see that a lot of money has been poured into it, but that's about it. What didn't work in Batman vs Superman is repeated here, so the characters are woefully flat, the action is digitally overwrought and the characters, however usually interesting, come across as incredibly boring and there is zero chemistry between the heroes. And the fact that there are six of them this time around makes the situation worse rather than better. The dull Cyborg, the childishly cool Aquaman and the downright awkward Flash are heroes that are hard to spend two hours with, and to be honest, I can't imagine how I'll handle their solos. Zack Snyder's style wore out and stopped being interesting about halfway through the last film. So those two hours in the cinema were downright physical torture for me, and I was just waiting for the whole thing to be over so I could forget about it. I want to like this movie at least a little bit, but I can't. Nothing works. Throw it out, burn it, and try to start over in a few years. Something different. Completely different.
