Justice League

DC and Warner Bros's attempt to catch up with Marvel's Cinematic Universe continues with Justice League. After Batman discovers a plot to invade and change all of Earth by alien forces known as Parademons as led by New God Steppenwolf, he and Wonder Woman must unite with other heroes to form a team to stop them. While Justice League does fix and improve on some of the problems that Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad had it is in no way as good as Wonder Woman was and still have some problems here and there. The cast is perfect and all have really great chemistry as one of the most well loved superhero teams with Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Godot as Wonder Woman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as Flash, and Ray Fisher as Cyborg. While the pacing is better it still has trouble going from scene to scene and giving everyone their own story, especially since they have to deal with so much of their backstories that should have been done in their own movies. It's easy to tell that the film was meant to be way longer than it actually is due to not only the pacing but some things that aren't well explained or feeling rushed. The action scenes themselves are really fun especially the final battle between the alien army and the heroes with a newly resurrected Superman joining in. While the film does have fun moments there are darker moments one can easily tell just don't fit together due to the reshoots. The effects are really good for the most part, except for the reshoot effects of trying to hide Cavill's mustache. I honestly don't have a problem with Steppenwolf though his design is very basic and his ability to turn people into Parademons is only seen once. Over all: 86%
