Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) enlists the help of Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) to face an oncoming invasion. Together, they recruit Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and The Flash (Ezra Miller) to help take down Steppenwolf and stop him from destroying the earth. So, I was really looking forward to seeing Justice League and hoping it wasn't going to be as terrible as Batman Vs. Superman. To be honest, I didn't really like Wonder Woman so I wasn't expecting too much from this film. The acting was really good and the chemistry between the cast was superb. I was mostly into Jason Momoa as Aquaman and I can't wait for his solo film. There was nothing remarkable about the action scenes but they were entertaining and fun to watch. I loved every scene with Superman (Henry Cavill) although, it was obvious that his mustache was digitally erased.

Ezra Miller as The Flash was alright, but I found most of his jokes flat and just silly. At some point, it felt like he was doing too much. Gal Gadot is flawless as Wonder Woman and Ray Fisher does a good job as Cyborg. I'm not the biggest fan of Ben Affleck because he usually seems so stiff and uninterested in the movies and characters he plays. It was no different here. No movie is perfect and Justice League had its flaws. The plot was a bit weak and very predictable. How awful was the villain? I can't be the only one who feels that way about Steppenwolf, there was nothing scary or exciting about him. Justice League was a CGI fest with some action scenes looking like a weird video game. I guess they listened to the critics because the cinematography wasn't as dark as Dawn of Justice and I was happy with it. Some of the dialogue was terrible and we know how cliché superhero movies can be but the dialogue could have been better. The final battle isn't the type that would bring you to the edge of your seat or have you heart racing and I was underwhelmed by the score. Even with the flaws, Justice League was an entertaining film and it might just save the DC Universe. There were two post credits scenes which I absolutely loved so don't be in a hurry to leave the theater. I'm actually looking forward to the sequel which may premiere in 2019. Well done DC!
