Justice League vs The MCU

It's essentially an MCU movie. It's pretty ok as an origin movie, with solid character interaction and portrayals, and it's pleasantly succinct and to the point (2h runtime).

But it lacks narrative depth, villains who exceed mere plot device status, true (grounded) grit or inspired humor. The film sports some very impressive, fine-lit cinematography (Snyder) and then some amazingly shoddy TV cinematography (Whedon). The CGI was seemingly done by the same talents who gave us Banner in the Hulkbuster or those infamous rhinos (at least they got teh skin tone and skull consistent).

I like it more than all volumes of Raccoon Turd, Thors, Hulks, Avengers 2 and such, but it's inferior to Avengers, Return of the Winter Soldier. So middle-tier I say.

It's alright. It tried to ripoff the Marvel formula and I mean that as a compliment. The heroes are all enjoyable even if the villain is nondescript. Tonally it's kind of all over the place, but considering the change in directors in the middle of production that was inevitable. JL is one of the better DCEU movies, which is a sad commentary in itself. It makes zero sense as a direct sequel to BvS, and you can't pretend that film didn't happen because it's referenced heavily in JL.

You can tolerate the film as long as you can get through the gloomy opening montage which is so Snyder it hurts.

I'd place it above Iron Man 2 and Thor: The Dark World. I still like the film, mind you.
