Me being a HUGE fan of this universe I had to see this movie. It was not exactly how I envisioned it but I am not slamming it as much as the critics. I am going to try and be spoiler free but just in case here is a WARNING! I DO NOT OWN THE PICTURE.
The world is still morning the loss of Superman (Henry Cavil), none more so than his mother Martha (Diane Lane) and Lois Lane (Amy Adams.) Meanwhile Bruce Wayne aka Batman (Ben Affleck) and Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) attempt to recruit fellow heroes Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa), Victor Stone (Ray Fisher) and Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) aka Aquaman, Cyborg and Flash respectively. Bruce and Diana believe something is coming to Earth, and it is going to require all of them to stop this threat. Sadly I cannot go any more without spoiling the film so the only thing I am going to say is STAY UNTIL THE VERY END!!!!
Now I understand why critics have been giving this a hard blow, there were a few issues I had as well. For starters the editing could have been better; it seemed like things were going by too fast (one minute it’s day the next it’s night you know what I mean.) There were some things I thought happened too soon, like honestly could have waited until 3/4 of the film, but that’s just me. Individually I thought the acting was good or great. Gadot is perfect as Diana. Affleck is not the best as Bruce but he is not the worst. Miller I thought did a good job as Allen, let me put it this way Barry is still learning to be an adult so if you watch the TV series it is nothing like how Grant Gustin is, but that is OK because this is a different universe. Fisher is great as Cyborg, again still learning. As for Momoa, well first off I am not blind. That out of the way I really liked how he portrays Curry in the beginning and then as he joins the fight, if you watched him on Game of Thrones the roles are almost similar so I’m told. Because Aquaman, Cyborg and Flash are getting their own movies I’m curious to see where their characters are going to go, maybe get a snip or origin in there for those unfamiliar with their stories. They do hint at it in the film but it’s not enough. Other characters, such as Lois, Alfred, Martha, and the villain are also good in the film. P.S. I think J.K Simmons is FABULOUS as James Gordon and I cannot wait to see more.
If I were to rank it with other DC films, at least in this universe, it is definitely better than Suicide Squad, but not as good as Wonder Woman. If you are a fan of superheroes than I would recommend watching this movie, if not in theaters than when it airs on TV.
