Just us League: just saw it...

I was kinda wrong on my expectations... I kinda got son things but the rest it was wrong... More after the jump... Because spoilers


Art thou ready for some spoilers?
Momoa sucked ass as Aquaman. He played Jason Momoa, which was very entertaining, but he was supposed to play Aquaman.
Amber Heard shows up as Mera and gets beaten far worse than Johnny Depp allegedly beat her.
Ezra Miller's Barry Allen is 100% pure Whedon. Wonder Woman is the highlight of the film. Cyborg and Batffleck were decent... Though Affleck was Yamcha'd.

Steppenwolf was borderline MCU villain.
This time the Superheroes did superheroics
which is odd in a Zack Snyder film. Supes was there and Whedon spent a lot of time trying to undo Snyder's Man of Stool unheroic Superman. There is no echoes or callbacks to save Martha. Instead we get a callback to "Do you bleed?" Which felt as bad as "do you know what happens to a road when struck by lightning?"
I'd Dare say the movie is 60% Whedon and 40% Snyder. I'd almost say that DC went with the tried and true formula of the MCU for JL just to get some of that Avengers money and delivered an enjoyable, passable movie that kinda felt like a retread of Avengers and X-MEN movies. (Quicksilver did a better high speed Barry than Barry himself) Bald Zuckerberg escaped prison and is visited by Manu Bennet... I mean José Vergara, er... Joe Mangianello and Luthor suggests they make a League of their own.
No Darkseid cameo... No Evil Supes... He was revived via Motherbox. No acknowledgement of Suicide Squad. I'd watch it again and the extended cut on Blu-ray.
Did I mention the Prehistoric Green Lantern? Cause there was one.

To be honest, the main issue with the movie is being a slave to two masters.
