JUSTICE LEAGUE REVIEW
Justice League is the Fifth Installment in the DC Universe that started from Man Of Steel (2013) followed by Batman v Superman:Dawn of Justice (2016) and Suicide Squad (2016) and critically acclaimed Wonder Woman (2017) . Thus far DC Universe has got mixed reception at best, Dawn of Justice and suicide squad had narrative flaws and Wonder Woman was the step in right direction depicting heroism and confidence from the Hero portrayed very charmingly and energetically by Gal Gadot.
HEROES : Our Heroes in this Movie are Ben Affleck's Batman , Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, Ezra Miller's The Flash , Jason Mamoa's Aquaman , Ray Fisher's Cyborg and Henry Cavill's Superman. These main characters in the movie have been done Justice. The performance delivered by each actor is great and even though Superman Joined the party a little late his presence enlightens the movie to its best. He is Hopeful, Charismatic, Optimistic and SMILING. This is the Superman we all have been waiting for. There are some fantastic moments surrounding Superman which really put a smile on my face and gave the film its real Energy. His Absence was really felt throughout the film and as soon as he is brought back to life, the film lits up in a heroic fanshion. Superman THUMBS UP.
Ezra Miller as the Flash is funny, childish and charming. He's More than a comic relief to the film, delivering a nerdy fanboy who lighten ups every scene he is in.
Jason Mamoa is Energetic like Ezra Miller and his performance Excites me for his upcoming standalone Aquaman Movie in 2018.
Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck did a great Job as well but we knew that already, didn't We?
Batman is going through a Redemption Arc and Wonder Woman is going through a "Moving on" Arc from Steve Trevor. It all works out in the end very beautifully and elegantly.
Cyborg is very mysterious character but also is a major plot point to the movie as he can understand Mother Box's Technology.
The Character interactions are well written, they come together, they disagree, they fight and at the end of the day they have FUN with each other's company, their chemistry works and is believable.
STORY and VILLAIN: Story of Justice League is pretty simple and straight forward but due to mandate to put the film under 2 hours the film does get little choppy in narration but due to a less complicated script its not that hard to follow.
The Villain of the film is Steppenwolf , who is the General for Darkseid's Army. Now the problem of the film lies. He is a forgettable,one dimensional villain who wants to conquer the world and not alot is given to his backstory and his CGI is a bit off but It was okay with the villain as he had to be the story catalyst, someone whom the League had to Unite against as Superman was dead.
The CGI of the film was a annoying and noticeable throughout the film , right from the Steppenwolf till Henry Cavill's Upper Lip.
But Regardless of all that the film works and It gives our Heroes a Hopeful Vibe overall. The Team Dynamics work which was the whole point to UNITE THE LEAGUE and It seems like DC has finally realized how to treat their characters.
Going forward We can assume that DC films are going to be more Engaging and Entertaining like Justice League was. The DC might just have found their formula , This film had a HEART to it and is very obvious that we look forward to see these Characters again.

This brings me to the massive DC superhero team up THE JUSTICE LEAGUE. The film had alot of difficulties during its production varying from the changes and panic caused at Warner Bros. due to poor reception of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice to The change in directors from Zack Snyder to Joss Wheadon. In Normal circumstances a production like this results in a movie which is structurally messy, but to a surprise Justice League turned out to be better than most people expected it to be.HEROES : Our Heroes in this Movie are Ben Affleck's Batman , Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, Ezra Miller's The Flash , Jason Mamoa's Aquaman , Ray Fisher's Cyborg and Henry Cavill's Superman.
