So some friends wanted to go see it and I broke down and joined them, I just couldn't help myself. Honestly, overall, I didn't hate it.
Is it a great movie? No. Is it a good movie? No... did I find it entertaining? Yes.
I just had to put blinders on and ignore the big gaping holes and it was actually a very fun movie. The humor was way over the top, like shove down your throat bad, they completely botched the Flash and Loboman was just a bit much for me. Affleck's Bruce Wayne continues to be horrible and the CGIed baddie looked like a PS2 game cut scene.
However, I really liked the new Superman, I thought Wonder Woman was good again, Cyborg was absolutely on point, spot on nailed it, the comic book nerd in me absolutely loved hearing Batman use the phrase "contingency plan" and I thought the overall tone and the ending were well done. I definitely felt like they were a team by the end and although they had a lot to fit in 2 hours they did a decent job of showing some growing pains for the League.
They helped correct the ship from where it was heading in BvS, DC has always been light, colorful and just.. whole some. I think they are on the right track now. I just.. don't look forward to any movie with the Flash in it, I am having trouble getting over how bad it was.
I loved the flash back scene with the GL, nice little reference there that was well done and the actual gods fighting with them as well was cool. But the best part of the whole movie though was the 1989 Batman theme sneaking it's way in, I was just so giddy when I heard that. Perfect timing to. Overall I am just glad that I was able to derive some unexpected enjoyment from the movie.
Also just to add, that wasn't Salaak that died fighting Steppenwolf, not sure which Lantern it was, but definitely not him. I thought it would be really weird for them to kill him off as he is a big part of the GL universe.
