This latest DC Comics adaptation is a direct follow-up to BATMAN V SUPERMAN. It's months after Superman was killed, which has sent everyone into a depression. Crime is on the rise-and there's a new threat that Bruce Wayne/Batman has discovered-these weird, insect-like beings that prey on fear. These are scouts from another planet. We soon learn that they are after three cubes, which contain unlimited power. Thousands of years ago an invasion, led by a giant named Steppenwolf, was thwarted by the team-up of the Amazons, Atlanteans, humans, and aliens (The Green Lantern Corps!). Now there must be a similar team-up-only with super powered individuals. We're introduced to several "new" characters, who become part of the team. The Flash is a completely different version than is portrayed on WB's television series. The tried to make the character the movie's sense of humor but I thought him simply irritating. Then there's Cyborg, a man who is mostly machine, who is sort of one-dimensional. But Jason Momoas' portrayal of Aquaman, is pretty cool and he's definitely my favorite character of the whole film. And yes, a character missing on the poster does appear to join in the fighting and I don't think it's a big surprise who that is...
JUSTICE LEAGUE is a good movie but the Marvel films are far more fun and entertaining.
