Justice League (spoilers)

[Mirtek]

Way more Superman than I expected (I thought he would be revived just in time for the end of the movie to be set up for part 2) and wow, he ist just OP in the movie

The look when Flash realised Supes was watching him at super speed was priceless.

My favorite scene in the movie

Loved the bit where Flash saved the car, while Supes saved the building.

My least favorite scene.

I went into this movie with low expectations. Happy I was wrong.

I can almost feel and see which parts Joss Wheden redid. Possibly saved the movie / franchise.

Best scenes- Flash was in the center of most of them. The look on his face with Supes "tracking" him was awesome. His geekiness and slowly becoming a hero of action was good to see. His continued attempt to get Cyborg to interact with him is good. "Big Guns" = Lios was good but I had figured Ma Kent would have been a "bigger" gun. Hint at a Green Lantern in the past was a nice nod to the future. I enjoyed the scene with Aquaman "telling the truth" and the reactions from it was funny and not expected.

The bad...... CGI, especially on the Amazon Island was incomplete. No fan of Cyborg's first form but I noticed he is "smoothing" out the armor at the end of the movie.

Speaking of the end of the movie....... Who else will Lex recruit? Grundy? Cheetah? Black Manta?

Black Manta I think is guaranteed at this stage, I suspect BlRock Adam will make a showing too. Harley as tie-in to the SS (and Joker as a presence but not 'In'). That might tie-in the Gotham Sirens too
I think having SInestro in would be another good link to the arrival of the new GL

Not sure about WW villains - Circe maybe? and a speedster (ie Reverse Flash, though I think thats boring)

Could be.

For something different..... Weather Wizard. He could keep even Superman busy for a while within the time frame of a movie.

I do wonder about WW power levels v Superman though

Relative to plot. Just like in the comics. I mean, 6 months ago we saw that she's able to solo Ares.

Well, given how the old deities performed against Steppenwolf in the short flashback vs. how Superman easily tossed him around like a doll, the Superman in JL is much more powerfull than any of the deities of old. If Superman didn't have the attention span of a goldfish and continually stopped brutalizing poor Steppenwolf in favor of doing something else, there would have been no need for the rest of the league to fight him. Poor Wolf was completely overwhelmed, he didn't even get a few licks in.

Oh, yes. That was good!

It's quite a bit shorter than I expected, and quite lean.

Loved the Danny Elfman Batman theme and the John Williams Superman theme.

People who have disliked Superman's colour scheme in the past will be happy.

Stay for the credits. *Two* after-credit scenes.

Final battle was a bit "more of the same" that most superhero flicks are these days, if this film has a weakness, it's that the villain and the final battle are a bit bland (in the same way the Wonder Woman final battle was, and the Doomsday one way). It was a better final battle sequence than either of those two though.

The save-the-world plot was almost a B-story; it's about the formation of the Justice League and the return of Superman.

I almost thought that Marvel has been finally understanding that the final big boss battle has become bland, because they finally broke it up in Dr. Strange. But I am not sure they fully got there yet. Thor 3 subverted it a bit, but Guardians of the Galaxy 2 seemed to still follow the old mold (except with the extra weirdness).

I haven’t seen the new Thor yet, but Marvel’s thing tends to be lots of disposable baddies attacking from the sky, whereas DC so far seems to be going the one big bad brute approach. Neither real work, IMO.

thats happened in like like 3 maybe 4 Marvel movies (the 2 Avengers, Iron Man 3), the rest (theres 17) have been 'Brute' fights, until subverted by Dr Strange and Thor 3
