Review of Justice League (2017) by Brian S — 23 Dec 2017

I enjoyed Justice League. Thin characters? I don't need three solo movies per character to know who they are.

How wasn't this movie any different than a Marvel movie? The big bad guy does some minor damage, but in the end is beat easily, nobody gets hurt, every riddle is solved, the main characters are not caught by surprise.

This movie had constant action, I think The Flash is a teenage/young 20's who sub better done than the most recent Spider-Man. The casting of Aquaman was spot on, and I like the large presence of Afleck as Batman.

For all the acclaim Black Panther has garnered, I don't see how that storyline was amazing or unique. There were people riding CGI Rhinos in that too, and people fighting with spears and sticks. The last battle was anti-climatic and predictable. Or Thor Ragnarok, rated by critics in the 90's, why? It was a movie you only have to watch once. Hulk has lost his edge, the big bad guy loses, giving way to a bigger bad, there is no real development of character , Loki and Thor are still doing therur brother thing.

The constant energy and action of Justice League was refreshing. I don't care much for the Batmobile scene at the end or every Bat signal shot in the pouring rain, but this movie "sticks" with you just as long as the 90% rating Spiderman Homecoming, Thor Ragnarok or Black Panther stories.
