    Just got back from Justice League and I honestly like it. It's not amazing or anything. I don't like to compare the two but JL had a clear disadvantage to The Avengers for one reason; character introduction. Avengers was able to get right to it because they had already introduced everyone. The first hour of JL kind of lagged because we had to introduce/recruit and set everyone up which is a big disadvantage especially when dealing with characters (Aqua Man, Cyborg, The Flash) who hadn't gotten their own movies or who had been absent from the big screen until then. That being said, I enjoyed the chemistry between the JL characters way WAY more.  For Avengers, I was really watching for one or two characters. For JL I enjoyed every character and their chemistry was brilliant which is a little weird because I thought Flash hit 1 good joke for every 4 and I didn't like Aqua Man that much due to the cocky pretty boy attitude he adapts for most of the movie (but maybe that's because I'm used to him being a dork lol). Anyway, that's enough comparison between those two different movies because JL definitely stood on its own. Every minute watching those characters work together was a blast (Especially Wonder Woman and my man Cyborg). My God they did Cyborg so well and I loved it because I was scared they were gonna fumble that. I thought the villain was a little stock but the fight scenes were great so I can forgive that. Finally, Superman. I actually preferred him this way. Yes, he was a bit of an ex-machina but I liked him so much in small doses because we just got to watch Superman be Superman without the kryptonite bullshit being presented for the millionth time. JL was a little brighter a little looser and played it's serious parts well and it's fun parts fun and that is a huge advantage over past DC flicks. You felt that the characters were having fun and the story and environment didn't suffer because it worked so well. They really really captured the team dynamic. It threw a little more than it should have out in one movie so it became jumbled and dragged at times, but overall it did well at piecing everything together and I look forward to where it progresses from here. Also, Affleck is still a great Bruce Wayne/Batman so suck it. 7/10.

    My buddy who saw it said that Superman's CG was awful? He basically said he was a floating face on an obviously CG body.

    It wasn't bad. They had to CGI his moustache off  though because he was contractually obligated to keep the stache for the filming of Mission Impossible 6 =))

    Lol it was ok. Def not suicide squad or BvS bad but they still have a lot of work to do

    I dont think it was the best movie ever. But it was really good. 

    This year has been great for comic book movies. 
    Logan, Wonder Woman, Atomic Blonde, Thor... if the worst one is Justice League we're doing pretty good.

    Yeah superhero films have been pretty lit this year. I'm expecting Infinity War to be the best superhero flick ever next year so fingers crossed. Also, you forgot Homecoming

    Wasn't sure if he forgot that one or left it off on purpose. He had a lot of issues with that one.
    Pass the god damn butter.

    Also was Atomic Blonde good? Everyone I know says they didn't care for it much.

    I found it to be very disappointing considering it was directed by the same bloke who did John Wick. There was only one scene in the movie that stopped me from fully hating it and it's the tracking shot near the end in the stairwell.

    I forgot about em. I liked Guardians. I had issues with Spidey, but it was still good as well. 

    Actually liked Justice League more than Spidey though

    I liked it a lot. Anyone going in expecting John Wick 3 will be dissapointed. But its a good spy flick. Charlize Theron kills it. Plus the soundtrack is good.

    I would have agreed with you on WW if the ending wasn't awful. That battle was typical Zach Snyder cliche.

     Ya know, I had a blast watching it, but I can't remember a single thing about it now lol it's one of those films that fun in the moment but not very memorable.
