Absolutely laughably terrible


Just saw this today and I am just laughing how terrible this movie is. It really belongs on MST3K tbh. From the ridiculous plot to the ridiculous enemy to the ridiculous characters.
Batman is a joke really and they even say it out loud. The Flash was annoying and cringeworthy. The TV Flash is so far superior to this laughing stock. Wonder Woman was pretty good however. Aquaman was meh to bad. Cyborg was just bad. And Superman - normally good, was a waste. The whole Superman dying was just atrocious and silly. And now he comes back and his shirt disappears for half his scenes. LOL. And his lines and character is just laughably silly. And Alfred sounded like a bad video game. The Steppenwolf guy was just a joke.

Superman v Batman was a silly bad movie and Justice League continues that bad plot, bad characters and bad acting/chemistry and bad lines.

Compared to Avengers and their chars, this all felt so cheesy and lame sadly. I love Superman but he's just rubbish here.

I think JL is done.

My rating: 3/10

Henry Cavill looked completely lifeless, especially when he first comes back to life. CGI antistache aside, he looked like a giant action figure floating around. It should've been the most emotional scene, but instead of being understandably angry with Batman, he was blinded with rage that simply goes against everything Man of Steel established.

Batman had a complete 180 of his stance from BvS with no real satisfying explanation. He went from wanting to kill Superman if there was a 1% chance he was a bad guy, to risking the world to bring him back. They were friends for maybe ten minutes. Plus, in BvS, the Flash warns Bruce that he's right about Superman. He actually meets the Flash and has a chance to ask him about it... No payoff there.


Overall, I was fine with Flash. He had a good scene with Bats about not freaking out and just saving one person. Cyborg seemed to spend all his time pouting in his hoodie.

Back to the CGI for a second... Ultron's lips moved more realistically than Henry Cavill's at times (why ultron's lips moved at all is another issue entirely).

It seemed to gloss over or omit just as much as AoU did, but after having seen 3 Iron Man's, 2 Thor's, two Captains America, a Hulk and an Avengers, it was just easier to fill in the gaps, except with qs at the end, but that was more for Wanda's ongoing arc imo.

Still, you can tell it's going somewhere. WB just wants to set up Darkseid because... He's similar to Thanos, I guess?

Gal Gadot did a good job, and I don't know if maybe it was the writing, but she just wasn't as memorable in this one. I only really remember her getting kind of called out in not being around since WWI, which again didn't have a satisfying explanation (maybe WW1984 will give us something better), and the scene when Bruce says she could lead JL.

YEP!!!! Agree 100%!! Let's hope this is the final nail in the coffin for Batfleck & Pseudoman.

Too high. More like 0/10.

Hey, it was better than "Suicide Squad"!

Yes, it had problems. But I have no idea why the stupidity in Marvel movies are celebrated alternatively.
