I'm going to see it next week! I'm so excited!!!
IT'S GOING TO BE THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!!!

It's been made. Twice, in the past year. And both versions were shown in 2017.
They are both rubbish. But the lesser known one is probably better.

I dunno... The fact that it has {Spoiler}Martha Kent making a statement that Lois likes performing felatio upon her dead adopted son and that said son told his adopted mother this surely puts it up there with Citizen Kane, Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather Part 2 and their ilk. |

Saw it.
Enjoyed it, although it is a tad disjointed and a lot is left on the cutting room floor. The film is carried by the performances. I'd say it's on a par with Marvel's first Avengers film and shares a lot of the same flaws.

I'd say it's on a par with Marvel's first Avengers film and shares a lot of the same flaws. I'd agree with the second half of that sentence, in that it replicates the flaws of Avengers Assemble (due in large part to having the same basic plot) but lacks its strengths. Avengers Assemble was a series of entertaining scenes with entertaining characters that failed to combine into a compelling, coherent whole. I found Justice League to be a series of dull scenes with bad characters that similarly failed to combine into a compelling, coherent whole. Well, Wonder Woman is more charismatic than Black Widow and deserves to be in a better franchise, but I found everything else to be awful. To top it all they brought back to life the worst character in the franchise - I thought they would, but hoped they would surprise me by not doing so. And it doesn't help that there are current TV live-action versions of Superman and Flash who are so much more likeable. Also, superhero films need entertaining villains. Steppenwolf in comparison to Tom Hiddleston's Loki? Hardly on a par... Martin |

Steppenwolf sucked balls. Also I kept thinking if the band of the same name whenever anyone said his name. I could not take him seriously.
Film was ok but really boring. Some good performances though Affleck was awful. A truly dreadful turn. It's been quite some time since I saw such a bad acting job on screen. It's in the public domain that he had personal problems at the time and sadly it shows. A shame. The part should have been recast.

Steppenwolf sucked balls. The idea of using someone as obscure as Steppenwolf, who not even hardcore DC fans have heard of, was either awful or inspired. I mean uh, at least it wasn't the same old villains??? I mean yeah he was crap But what if they cast someone crazy as Steppenwolf. Like Brian Blessed. Or David Warner. |

Steppenwolf is from the comics? I was not aware of him and assumed he was made up for the film. Darkseid must be being held back for something else even though BVS set him up to appear!

The only Steppenwolf I had heard of. I kept hearing this song in my head whenever someone said his name:
Maybe The Pet Shop Boys will be the name of the villains next time or something like that!

Steppenwolf is from the comics? Yup, bananas, isn't it! I've been a massive DC fan for nearly 20 years, I'd never heard of him. Sometimes obscure characters are amazing to use, as they have brilliant uptapped potential. And sometimes they're just a generic villainy villain. |

I get why they chose Steppenwolf, if they are building up to Darkseid. However, he is a little too obscure, and distant from Darkseid.
Would have went for Kalibak myself.

I finally got to see it. Cast was good. Loved Ezra Miller. Didn't like the speedster effects at all, though. CW Flash does it a lot better. Though nothing will top XMU's Quicksilver for speedster. My opinion of JL is that it was a lot better than everyone everywhere has made it out to be. Best Part was Green Lantern. Steppenwolf is from the comics? Yup, bananas, isn't it! I've been a massive DC fan for nearly 20 years, I'd never heard of him. Sometimes obscure characters are amazing to use, as they have brilliant uptapped potential. And sometimes they're just a generic villainy villain. The only reason I'm even aware of him is because I'm saddled with two variants if him from a DCUC wave I had to absorb to get the rest of the wave and the BAF. He has never appeared in any fiction I've ever consumed, in the near 20 years I've been reading DC comics. Not even as an easter egg. Likely the only DC fans who know him are hardcore New Gods fans. And I generally find New Gods based stories to be horrible dull. |

It does a pretty decent job of introducing and setting up Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg, though it doesn't do as much justice to Cyborg as the other two. Supposedly, most of Cyborg's scenes got cut in Whedon's redos. Cyborg was supposed to be the heart of the team, which got shifted to Barry. (I also kinda feel they should have gone with Wally, since Barry is the lead of the much better tv series. Ezra would have made a really good wally) |
