Review of Justice League (2017) by Marcus A — 27 Nov 2017

Justice League is a step in the right direction for the DC cinematic universe, however, the film is held back by its awkward pacing and vast amount of cut content. I look forward to viewing the directors cut to see the complete rendition of this film not one that has been sadly cut back by WB.

Ezra Millers rendition of Barry Allen is fresh and exciting. Jason Momoa's Aquaman is fantastic but needed more screen time and Ray Fisher provided an interesting and likable darker take on Teen Titan favourite Cyborg.

The rest of the cast returns in all their glory with Gal Gadot's wonder woman again being a stand out performance. In the end the team is formed and they have a great group dynamic however with a lack of character set up through prior films some of the characters developments are thin and need further developments.

Where this movie shines is in its flash back sequences where we get a glimpse of a green lantern and a battle between the Amazons/ Atlantians and Steepenwolf. The villain is overpowered appropriately in these sequences, but is weak throughout the rest of the film.

Overall Justice League is a step up from its previous counterparts, there is still some further development to be made in order for this franchise to reach the glory is deserves.
