Probably the worst edited film I've ever seen. It looks like someone took four different movies made by four different people working in four different genres and then mixed them all together in a blender. No one scene flows into the next one, and a character's personality will drastically change between cuts.
Superman comes back to life, obviously, and his mouth looks really weird. The reason for this is supremely stupid. Apparently, when Henry Cavill came back for reshoots, he'd grown a beard for an upcoming role. The studio refused to let him shave,
so they digitally removed his beard in post. Seriously.
Don't bother watching this.
It's another poorly written and badly edited mess of a film that's boring when it tries to be be epic, annoying when it wants to be funny and ridiculous whenever it's supposed to be original.
Sure, the acting is overall decent and Wonder Woman is great, but it's not enough to safe the movie.
The villan is so boring that I'm not bothered by how stupid the CGI-Effects make him look, his motivation is witless, and although he's technically threatening to end the world, it seems like he only poses a small problem which Wonder Woman could deal with alone. But she doesn't feel like it, so she teams up with Batman instead and they form the Justice League, a group of superheroes, that works together to do one thing only - realize how pointless they are without Superman. So they bring him back, fight him until it's no longer convenient for the plot, and then he does what he does best: demonstrate why he's a mostly uninteresting character by resolving the whole problem basically alone in two minutes without even trying. And of course that means battling hords of inhuman underlings that pose no threat to them and then getting into a fist fight with the bad guy, before the energy thing destroys Earth, because what else could a superhero movie possibly do at the end?
A weak plot that only gets worse whenever they give exposition. Terrible villain and terrible effects.
however, good acting and solid dialogue from the leads. Ezra Miller and Jason Momoa fit right in. None of them overshadow the others. The action is good and it's well paces. A bit of a let down ending but the film served the purpose of getting the characters together.
2 hours is certainly not enough to tell a story about 6 superheroes while introducing 3 new characters. Brilliant actors (and Oscar winners) Jeremy Irons & J.K. Simmons were terribly underused. Robin Wright was said to be making a cameo but we got 2 seconds of her back & 1 second of her slightly CGI-ed face.
My favourite part has to be when the Amazonians displayed their teamwork
protecting the mother box
. Also, love the little moments between Bruce & Diana. Overall, not as bad as the reviews said. 2 hours flew by really quick.
Another disappointing DC film. Had it’s moments and was well acted, but the story itself was poor. The Flash was supposed to add comic relief but was annoying
Justice League is about two things. Getting the group together and course-correcting the tone of the DCEU franchise. All other considerations are secondary, including the very basic villain plot (which cynically tries to do Infinity Stones before Marvel can get to its end game) with a needlessly CG Steppenwolf. Between Zack Synder's grimdark, video game cut scene, baseline and Whedon's more human comedy approach, character continuity can be difficult (the BvS Batman is unrecognizable, for example), but wasn't too distracting in Justice League itself. Flash and Aquaman are definitely Whedon darlings, and I think audiences may well come out of the theater saying they were favorites. Wonder Woman is, as ever, a highlight, but Superman manages to share in her hopefulness. Cyborg is relegated to technobabble too much of the time, but does have his moments. Overall, the film successfully creates moments that are won through team work, and the lighter tone made Justice League surprisingly enjoyable given my feelings about much of the DCEU. Does it feel like a complete story? No. It's a means to an end, a stepping stone, and an adjustment. Between this and Wonder Woman, I'm actually looking forward to future installments.
It's a nice introduction to the various characters. We see little background story. The plot itself was thin and straightforward. No real conclusion to the plot.
However, funny, entertaining and hunky superheroes. A nice night at the cinema with comedy, hot action sequences and plenty of stars to see. Not the finest of the DC Comics movies, but not the worst. That crown goes to Batman vs Superman.
I think Gal Gadot oozes charisma in her performances as Wonder Woman, clearly the best part of Justice League, though she was given the same shit to say and do as the other characters in this rubbish movie.
There is something tired and clichéd about superheroes taking on some kind of ultimate evil that is intent on destroying the whole world with the aid of some kind of powerful gizmo. There is also something tired and clichéd about action and fight scenes edited to resemble a chaotic video game mess.
Almost every scene seemed artificial or fake in some way. Sometimes it was the CGI, sometimes some stupid piece of dialogue or bad editing, sometimes just a character entry that made no sense (such as when Wonder Woman was introduced posing on top of a golden statue), or just the fact that Batman can keep up with the others despite having no superpowers.

I spent two hours rolling my eyes and shaking my head in disbelief of the dumpster fire I was viewing.lachyas
Henry Cavill's face looks less realistic than a lot of Pixar characters.nowhereman136

What a terrible bad guy. Nothing made sense. Gal Gadot and Henry Cavill are the only redeeming factors of this franchise.Clintmwells

Mediocre. Didn't flow well. No real charisma in any of the characters other than The Flash. Zac Snyder has fallen a long way since Watchmen.Zeltaebar
