The DCEU did it again. My brother saw it and really liked it. I hear fans on here saying it is better than the reviews. The previews look terrible, but I like the characters so maybe I can give the movie a chance. Maybe it really is pretty good. Then I see it and all hope is gone. Sure, it was not terrible and I liked it better than BvS or SS, but it is still an average movie at best. The entire movie was a cartoon. Seriously. Nothing in the movie looks real in the slightest. The CGI was seriously terrible for a 2017 big budget movie. Movies like The Matrix, Terminator 2, and Jurassic Park had much better special effects and they are from the 90s. Aquaman was a terrible character. I like the actor too and thought he was great for the role, but his character was cheesy and his lines were seriously cringe worthy. People talk about lame MCU jokes, but at least they are jokes. I am not sure if Aquaman was trying to be funny or not. Cyborg also sucks. If they do give him a solo movie, it will probably be the worst DCEU film and that would be pretty bad. Wonder Woman was great in it. She really is the standout of the DCEU. God forbid if she ever left. I will say that Superman was better in this than in his other two DCEU films. He was actually one of the best parts. Batman is my favorite comic book character of all time. He is the flagship of DC and he really didn't do anything for me in this film. Sure, he wasn't terrible, but it is almost like he was a side character, even though he had the most screen time and lines.
I am not saying this movie is horrible. It is one of those movies that I could turn my brain off and enjoy, but there is nothing special about it. This has been maybe the best year for comic book movies ever. Logan was excellent. Spiderman: Homecoming was excellent. I find GOTG 2 a little overrated, but it was still really well done and a solid film. Wonder Woman was awesome and the best DCEU film. Thor 3 was excellent. Then there is Justice League. When you watch all of these, there is no way this cannot be at the bottom of the list. It is mediocrity in a sea full of great comic book movies this year. This is the kind of movie that you do not need to see in theaters. You can wait until it is on HBO or something.
