JUSTICE LEAGUE

This movie is spectacular in two main ways, the comic book references and the special effects. There are so many of them such as The Flash and Superman racing. Also the CGI costumes look so real for Cyborg and Steppenwolf.

Justice League is about Bruce Wayne/Batman tracking down parademons. Meanwhile in Atlantis, Themyscira Steppenwolf invades and steals the mother boxes from them, killing a lot of Amazonian and Atlanteans troops in the process. Batman hears this news from Diana/Wonder Woman and decides to form a team to stop Steppenwolf from stealing the last mother box.

Batman (Ben Affleck) returns as the best Batman yet. He stands out from the other characters with his two Oscars, one for best picture and another for best screenplay. Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) also has an award for best actor from Teen Choice Awards. Award-winning actor J. K. Simmons plays Commissioner Gordon and, for the five minutes he's on screen, is awesome.

The budget of this movie is $300,000,000, so the special effects should be stupendous and that is correct. For Cyborg's character, his whole body looks like it is actually made out of metal and is glowing. The costume for The Flash looks damaged and made out of NASA grade material.

My favorite part of this movie is when The Flash and Superman are about to race. This is my favorite part because it is such a big comic book reference, which is why I like DC more than Marvel.

The message of this movie is to stand up as a leader because your friends will support you. This message is very positive for people that are reluctant to stand up. This film has a few iffy thing such as Aquaman drinking a whole whisky bottle and smashing it, but there are no risky things kids might imitate after watching it. There is some mile profanity. This movie is dark, yet funny and is riddled with references. I give it 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to ages 10 to 18. This movie is in theaters now, so go check it out.

This movie is definitely meant to please and entertain all the DC Universe fan's. In other words, for me this movie is just plain great. I really enjoyed how we got to see all the main Justice League characters in one big movie. Who wouldn't? Seriously, the way costumes are designed to the great acting is amazing.

One part I really enjoyed is when Batman starts swinging around and driving his Batmobile around town, because it shows the audience how cool Batman really is. Another part I really enjoyed is when Flash is introduced. Flash is that one character who ends up bringing all the comedy to the film, which I think is great.

The storyline in this movie is about how Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavil), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Flash (Ezra Miller), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and Auqaman (Jason Momoa) come together to save the day. They have to battle a dangerous alien race who is trying to destroy Earth so they can rule all. Throughout the movie we experience a lot of funny moments such as when Flash shows that he likes Wonder Woman and again when they're fighting the villain. There are also some really cool CGI effects that wow'd me.

The creators of this movie should be quite proud of their creation, because I believe Justice league will be a big hit. Everybody in the movie theater enjoyed the movie. You could tell by listening to their laughs and their clapping at the end of the movie how much they loved it. While watching it, I noticed that the CGI was similar to a video game, which I think suits this movie very well. I would have to say this is the best DC movie I have seen so far. Along with the cool graphics, the acting stands out, which I found very enjoyable. Also there are some really cool plot twists.

I recommend this film for ages 12 to 18 because there is some mild profanity and some mature scenes at the beginning. I give this 5 out of 5 stars. It is playing in theaters now so be sure to check it out, whether or not you are a DC fan!

I'm not sure why the reviews for this movie have been so squirrely. This is a very entertaining movie, with the kind of mindless, superhero entertainment one wants in a film of its kind. I personally think there is a bias against DC movies not made by Christopher Nolan, however I will defend Justice League in this review.

It should be known that I don't expect these types of films to have much in the way of development or good writing. After all, these aren't directed by Nolan and are more in the direction of what Marvel movies are - pure entertainment. It's a date night movie, or something for the family to watch together. It's not going to produce any Oscar worthy performances a la Heath Ledger, but the performances need to personify these characters and be believable. That's my criteria. Is it entertaining? Will audiences like it? Will its target audience be attracted to it? And the answer to all three of those is yes.

In the Critic's Consensus of the film on Rotten Tomatoes, one of the criticisms is "thin characters." To that I say, of course! The writing in a film such as this isn't supposed to provide subtle depth and deep character analysis. The characters are simple with personal issues that they get over and get past within two hours. They are figures to awe at, not people reflect themselves in. Just because Captain America: Civil War achieved that, doesn't mean every superhero action flick that comes out achieves that. Justice League is well enough acted to where these characters are quite believable. What more an audience seeking a Friday night romp ask for?

The most important thing is that the movie is only two hours long. It feels great! The recent trend of superhero movies and blockbusters taking two and half to three hours is a bad trend that doesn't serve the films (and it's why many them aren't very good), but Justice League is very well paced, very tight and a good length. DC has been clocking in their films at around two hours, twenty minutes. Justice League clocks in at 120 minutes precisely and it feels like a breeze. Directing and editing are well done as far as that goes.

Of course there are cheesy lines and over dramatized moments, but isn't there always? It's a formula that works and eventually we just ignore those parts because the action scenes are so entertaining. That word "entertaining" perfectly describes this movie from beginning to end. It's predictable as they come, formulaic as can be and not exceptional by any means. But, my goodness is it pleasant watch. It's just plain fun. DC has made a good movie that deserves to be seen. I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 10 to 18. It is playing in theaters now so be sure to go check it out.

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.
