Watched it this evening. What Mrs Robert calls "a movie" instead of "a film" like Dunkirk.
Wasn't bad. I preferred BvS. You could see the point where Zac Snyder got sacked and Joss Whedon took over - it when from grim and gritty, to jokey like The Avengers.
Introduced too many characters too fast - the Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg didn't get much backstory. I misseed the usual driving Hans Zimmer score. The villain, like most of Jack Kirby's New Gods, is a bit silly.
There was one genuinely effective scene where the League
and he isn't happy about it.
If you watch the after-credits scene you'll see just how much Deadpool is a Deathstroke rip-off too.

2 for 1 with a friend so thought I will go for it, my expectations were extremely low so I didn't come out of the movie in disgust but overall it should have been so much better. The villain was very poor and the plot in general was too one dimensional / a big cliche, was very interested in the individual characters though, their origin stories have so much potential. Not sure where DC go from here but I think they should focus on the solo efforts and recruit a better team, Matt Reeves is a welcome addition for the future Bats movie; there's also that Joker origin story which Dicaprio and Martin Scorsese could spearhead, am more then up for that; quality should be their main ethos and their goal doesn't necessarily have to revolve around expanding the DC universe but if they focus more on the individual characters and their arcs then perhaps people would be more excited for a Justice League movie down the line, this was a very poor effort on so many levels given the potential it had.
