Review of Justice League: Gods and Monsters (2015) by C M — 15 Nov 2015
Wow! Dark, disturbing alternate universe "superhero" movie that is definitely not for kids. Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are all evil, calculating, violent arms of the federal government and not in the Bizarro way but something completely different.
The Justice League is a sinister monument in the middle of the city. Eerie. This unholy alliance is tasked with solving a mystery when a number of key scientists are killed in spectacular ways. Not just any scientists but those that would have been Antman, Ironman and Dr.
Freeze in the normal universe. I've always wondered in the back of my mind what would happen if a true superhero were to live amongst us. Would they want to dominate us? Shepherd us? Both scenarios are disturbing and this movie explores those options in dramatic and sometimes bloody detail.
Lex Luthor said it best, "Unassailable power is never to be trusted." Dark, compelling, violent - highly recommended for those who'd like a different take on superheros.
