Justice League is an upcoming American superhero film based on the DC Comics superhero team of the same name, distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.

But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

I'm still rooting for DC and Warners to get it right with this, but the trailer is such an about-face from all its previous reference points that it just comes across as a bit jarring. :unsure:

 

The problem is that Snyder was off-base in striking a balance between darkness and realism for 'Batman v Superman' and ended up with an excessively brooding movie that wasn't reflective of its characters. They've finally started writing the characters as they are, which is commendable, but it feels like a shock to the system because of what's gone before.

I overall enjoyed the movie :smile: I do agree, they did rely on CGI a bit too much that there were many parts that looked very artificial and half-assed :/ I was particular disappointed by Steppenwolf's whole look. They, no pun intended, did not do him justice in the way he could have potentially looked with the resources they had :no:

The plot was cumbersome and very disjointed, which I suppose you'd have to say isn't that surprising when you have two directors whose approach to this kind of material is so different. By and large though, I just don't think the DC movies have understood the characters well enough (Wonder Woman notwithstanding). Tone isn't necessarily the problem since Nolan's Batman and the Russos' Captain America sequels have shown what can be done with stories touching on darker themes.

So, the near-mythical Snyder Cut is actually happening and I blame myself. Justice League came on my TV the other week and I didn't switch channels, which I'm assuming pushed the data from 'mediocre' into 'maybe we could repackage this for our new streaming platform'.

So you're to blame?  :smile:

I believe so, and I take full responsibility. :ph34r:

 

There's a silver lining though of course, because when the inevitable happens and it turns out to be equally lacklustre or perhaps even worse, people might finally shut up about it. :Angel:
