SPOILER FREE!

DC never fails to fall into the same pattern of errors. I am legitimately convinced there is something deeply wrong with how these movies get produced.

| INTRO |

Justice League is DC's take on all the Avengers movies that have been booming in the superheroes genre of late.

What DC fails to understand is a simple key factor that gives Marvel the upper hand. Besides sheer talent, which the DC team clearly shows lack of, it is how the timeline is being shaped. Now, we need to put into account the fact that DC is clearly pushing the line to get all movies out as fast as possible, but when is enough really enough?

When is timing, producing fast, too fast to lose passion and quality just to print more and more money?

| REVIEW |

DC skipped most of the origin movies for its superheroes to push a team-up as fast as possible.

Justice League tried to connect these new characters, and as you might think already, it did a very poor job. And this isn't only a talent related issue, it is actually a problem with how fast the movie needs to go and how little time we have to develop an entire character to create synergy with all the others.

The movie is structured to have a precise climax oriented pace, that is well kept throughout the entire time. The story is short and simple. They give a taste of the characters we don't know, showcasing them and the interest peaks, but then...

We are left with an amalgamation of senseless beating, worsened by an acrimonious artificial look, horrible B level movie CGI production and straight up terrible dialogues and uninteresting, cheesy, cliche jokes that do not land at all.

Character deepness is unexistent. Like with previous DCEU movies they are placed there to push the story forward and don't bring anything personal at all. I will admit that this time DC was smart about placing signals and starting points to connect the future solo movies some of the characters will have, but that is about it.

Obviously, the villain is as uninteresting as the superheroes. Steppenwolf doesn't bring anything to the picture other than to push the story forward, again. He is depicted as a megalomaniac big dude with horns that repeats the same things, over and over and it looks like he was produced with play-doh instead of computer-generated imagery.

But let's pick the characters apart:

Batman & Superman, I need to keep them together because for some inexplicable reason DC tried to build up a bromance that eventually failed and isn't logically explained and is inconsistent with all the previous DCEU movies. Worsened by some of the most stupid and senseless dialogues ever, in two words shared by them I lost completely my interest.

Wonder-Woman, everyone talked about how progressive her solo movie was, how much it fought objectivism against women. Well, sorry ladies, this movie just took 2 or 3 huge steps back.

Aquaman is what kept my interest alive, Jason Momoa is a great, expressive actor that showed a deep level of interest and passion for his character.

Cyborg is SO INCONSISTENT it actually hurts to think. He started out as the moody bitch and then took a 180° and became a teddy bear ready to help everything and everyone without asking questions.

Flash is just fuckin' annoying man. Cheesus Crust someone shut him up. The suit is tremendous though, wish they would keep that one for the TV Show, instead of that knitted POS.

I need to admit that the cast wasn't bad at all, there was good ACTOR synergy and the flow of the movie wasn't hurt at all. It's the way DC treats his own characters that baffles me, why do they hate their own universe?

DC movies are only kept up in interest just by inherently draining the goodness of the comics, the ideological feel we have for its superheroes and their stories. This is also their kryptonite, the flash fast speed they use to jump ahead of character deepness only to fuel action and to generate money, if they don't learn to respect their characters more and give them justice there will be no league for which I will ever praise one of their movies.

The movie is a "Fair" - 6/10.
