Hey everyone welcome back to Silver Screen Spectacle! Well, this is the last article before my review of Zack Snyder’s Justice League. The theater cut of Justice League AKA Josstice League got released to poor critical response in 2017 after Wonder Woman and made even less money than Batman v Superman. So when this first came out I wasn’t much of a fan but I tried to convince myself that I liked it more than I did. So four years later, how do I feel about this weird film history piece of a film?
This is one of the most offensively mediocre comic book films ever made. I don’t like this movie, but I don’t hate it either. Ben Affleck is still enjoyable to watch, but his character is so useless in the action sequences it becomes laughable. Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman is fine, but she’s nowhere near as interesting as she was in her own movie. I’m one of the few who always liked Ezra Miller’s Flash, even in this movie. I thought he was funny and the scene where Batman tells him to save one person is great. Jason Momoa’s Aquaman is fine but doesn’t have much to do. He does not get shafted nearly as bad as Ray Fisher’s Cyborg. He is pointless in this movie and cut down to barely being a character at all.
So I don’t want to get into all the behind-the-scenes drama, but Joss Whedon got brought in to reshoot most of the movie after Snyder left the project and it shows. The visual effects are atrocious and the movie looks like a soap opera thanks to the filter Whedon puts over everything. Most of the action sequences other than the tunnel fight and Superman vs the League are unwatchable in this version. Steppenwolf looks terrible and is one of the worst villains in comic book movie history. Despite all these thanks to how talented the cast is when this movie just lets the League interact with each other, I find it enjoyable. A lot of the humor doesn’t hit, but some of it does and it’s nice to see these characters I love interacting with each other.
Overall, I neither hate this movie nor like this movie. I am however happy to leave it in the past with the Snyder Cut being released. So guys that’s it for this one if you liked it give it a share and I’ll see you tomorrow for my review of Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
