Justice League reviewed by Mark Kermode

The thing that people on the internet don't seem to understand is that when somebody criticises the Justice League film it probably isn't because they are a marvel fan who hates DC films it's probably because they are a DC fan who was genuinely disappointed with the quality of the movie

[@juancarlos-dx1or]

I am one of those disapointed dc fans(i learned to read with those characters) and i think the problems so far are the generic plots(mcguffins and cgi villains) WB tought the solution was more comedy and it clearly was not.

[@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond]

i'm a huge fan of DC comics, the best thing i can say about Justice League is that they finally got Superman right. He finally feels like the character ive been reading in comics for a quarter of a century, too bad his mouth looks weird

[@battlep0t]

I want both Marvel and DC to be good to encourage competition. But Wonder Woman is really the only film of their shared universe i've liked so far, that's not bias that's just honesty.

[@yakuza01]

I agree with Kermode about the misguided criticism of BvS or MoS being bad because of lack of humor. I couldn't care less if you don't throw one single joke as long you got a good story and engaging characters. Frankly, the lack of jokes is the least of the problems with these movies. I feel this has set WB to a completely wrong course to fix this mess.

[@moeezS]

"Thunderously boring" Ruthless. Love Kermode.

[@rhaenyrareigns2200]

I think that Kermode meant it as an underlining of how strongly boring it was. Thunders are extremely loud and so he emphasized how boring the film was without shouting about it. Think this way: "You've heard the applause" versus "You've heard the thunder of applause".

The theatrical release of Justice League was an absolute mess. A Project that was taken over by Joss Wheldon who transformed it into a frankenstien movie. Zach Snyder has been given the opportunity to complete the film as per his original vision. A four hour epic that is being released on HBO Max in 2021.

[@Vidar_Odinson]

All of the Superman scenes are hilarious because they had to digitally edit out the actor's moustache and it shoooows so badly. He was contractually bound to keep it due to another role he had while they did reshoots for Justice League. What an epic waste of time and money.

[@fitnessabcvideo]

VidarOdinson79 Yup, his face was hard to take serious, and the most annoying thing it was most obvious in the best scenes of the film (headbutt). Sigh...

[@ezrasky3761]

Only because they told you this beforehand. You wouldn't have noticed otherwise.

Weird non-provable argument. It looks fake and unnatural, like CGI Tarkin and Leia in Star Wars.

[@NowhereMan2710]

I love that Mark's key Doctor Who reference is 'reverse the polarities'!

[@StreetsOfVancouverChannel]

FYI: Snyder had shot and planned for an almost three-hour final theatrical version... but the head of Warner issued a decree that the film had to be edited down to two hours long (so that its runtime facilitated a maximum number of showings per cinema). It's likely that an extended cut Blu-ray version will be closer to three-hours long... but from the sounds of your review it won't make the film any better or more coherent.

[@marcb2raw]

Same thing they did to BvS. Warner Bros are not very good with comic book characters except for Batman.

[@mitrooper]

Well, Thor Ragnarok had also lots of cuts..but it was a blast from beginning to end.

[@AnthonyMcNeil]

Streets of Vancouver Why do people use this excuse. Every damn movie is cut. Seriously, if ever director wanted all the scenes they shot in the movie then every single movie we would get would be 3 to 4 hrs long. The problem is Zack Snyder, he bot a competent director and yet people still defend him. People seriously act like the directors cut of BvS turned it into a masterpiece. 3hrs of this movie wouldn't have made it a LoTR masterpiece...

[@TheArtkaw]

3 hours will never make Snyder's version of Luthor any better, that's for sure.

It's not very often I agree with a film critic, but in this case I do. I came out of the cinema on Friday and I still can't quite describe what I saw. The saddest thing about seeing this film is that I enjoyed the trailers more. All I can say is that I'm really looking forward to seeing Darkest hour. That's all I took away from this "Film", if you can call it that.

[@brianfunt2619]

I remember watching it and being somewhat surprised that a film could be this bad

[@timothymclean]

One big problem I noticed was the pacing. They tried _so_ hard to cut the film down to the two-hour mark, and it shows. The scenes have no room to breathe; it's like nearly every moment where the characters weren't doing or saying something important for plot, action setpieces, or the character development outline was chopped out, and perhaps entire character scenes which were necessary only in aggregate. They tried to cram in too much, and then they cut it down.

[@Poseiden2]

Great comment Mark - any superhero film has to have a lead character (and also its villains/supporting cast) with vulnerabilities, nuances and qualities that make them 3 dimensional and allow people to relate to them. The original Spiderman trilogy and the Dark Knight trilogy had this; many of the more recent films haven't, in my opinion.

[@davechucks]

This review is simply total rubbish and a dishonest reflection of the film. I don't mind people having different opinions about things but Kermode is actually inventing complete lies about Justice League.... I say inventing but he's reading a script. I'm not sure who's hoops he is jumping through but it's woeful critiquing.

It essentially tried to be the Avengers of 2012 and failed.

But if amazing scenes happen in Batman they hate it. I don’t get it

Really? How low do you have to go to be complaining about how characters got on top of buildings? Pretty sure that Batman did that in the dark knight trilogy. And you didn't make a fuss about that. Just shows how bias critics are towards the DCEU and Zack Snyder. "The flash is the comic relief". Okay so he cracks a few jokes. Didn't see you making the same comparison with Iron Man, Ant-Man or Star Lord. And I bet that if he wasn't joking then you would be complaining that the movie is too dark.

[@h.b.smith_writer]

I know this a bit late but still. It makes sense how Batman got on top of buildings in the Trilogy (grappling gun, agility). Otherwise, it's a strange nitpick.

[@BlueShift815]

Story: incoherent. Characters: pointless and underdeveloped. CGI: horrendous. Humour: Completely dissonant. Villain: everything that's wrong with superhero movie villains. I agree with Mark 100%. I had kept my hopes up after WW but I left JL without finding one aspect of it that was enjoyable. One of THE worst big budget movies I've ever seen, and I enjoyed BvS.

[@davechucks]

Do you actually know what incoherent means? Because that reflects fairly badly on yourself if you couldn't follow the plot. Maybe break it down into the acts and it might help you? So what was pointless about the characters? Two in the continuity saw a threat and knew they needed help, so they recruited the other Meta Humans.... I don't need to explain where they had that information because you liked BvS.... how is that pointless.... what development did you want or expect... the threat was ongoing at the time the team was put together, it was immediate. Do you think they'd just let the invasion carry on so we could maybe see Victor lubricating his joints or something. WTF is wrong with people.

[@BlueShift815]

I had written a long in-depth reply on all the plot holes and problems with the story, as well as the characters but my internet crashed. Just watch the video above, and do a Google search on the plot holes and problems. The list is embarrassingly long for a movie of this value

[@mwillinghamJ87]

Sorry Mark, I almost stopped listening when you said Batman and Robin was a better film... Seems to me critics have given into a hyperbole of negativity around Justice League. Some of the criticism I've heard has been completely blown and sensationalist. Steppenwolf is NOT the worst villain in the 100 plus years of cinema. You will find hundreds of worse villains, though the decision to realise him in CGI was a huge mistake. The film is entertaining. Could it have been better, yes.

[@DamianStHill]

This is the first review of the film that I find to be accurate. DC is way too obsessed with catching Marvel. And , as a result , the films no longer have any semblance of self . I was hoping that DC would continue the adult themes set by Nolan . While the first couple had some flaws ( which I put down to pandering ) I was hopeful that they would decide on which side of the fence they wanted to be on and focus on building films around character and the weight of responsibility given incredible power . The reference to Schumacher is very fitting imo. The poor writing , plot and character development will lead to a destruction of the franchise. For me , like Affleck , that's it . I'm done spending money on these films. Why watch a faux Marvel when you can get the real thing .

I'm not going to lie. I absolutely despise 2/4 of the DC extended universe films (Wonder Woman is great though.) Even with that being said I'm kind of fascinated to see what the final cut of this film looks like (not seen it myself yet) just because of the sheer number of production issues that were involved in making it. I'm legitimately amazed they were able to get it finished on time. If I were to take a guess I'd say the production and back story behind the film will be more interesting than the film itself.

[@grungeface87]

I can't say I'm surprised by the good doctor's review, but I was actually pleasantly surprised by the film. I fully expected it to be dreadful, but found it an improvement on BvS. So admittedly I'm coming at it from a very low base of expectation, and it is incredibly daft, but I didn't think it was boring, and a lot of the comic relief actually worked quite well for me. And let's face it, none of these films were ever going to top the Dark Knight trilogy. I got the impression with Man of Steel that that was what they set out to do, but sometime between that film and this one they completely gave up on that, and that can only be a good thing.

[@AHALambda101]

[@RabbiSteve]

AHALambda101 it's good. This is Kermode's opinion. I respect it, and usually agree. But not here. I think he's way off. Not in his not liking it. Obviously, that's his prerogative. But in his saying it is an incoherent mess. It is true that the reduced running time makes it feel rushed. But unlike Kermode, I was never bored. Nor did I have any problem following. And I had no, "Oh, c'mon, give me a break!" moments, unlike with BvS.

[@derajnitram1882]

About time somebody gave a honest review, I get annoyed when other youtube critics say well it's flawed but fun. Sorry but in a world where we are inundated with comic book films, if the film isn't as good or better than the ones that are, sorry that's just not gonna cut it anymore. Marvel may make many generic films with a few truly good ones here and there, but apart from Wonder Women, nothing the DC universe has done film wise has been worth a damn.

[@derajnitram1882]

That's great if you did, but I've seen far better attempts from other comic book films, this is simply put "fun" but overly flawed, to where I personally can't say I enjoyed it.

The plot if that can be said is clunky, unfocused, and all over the place, as is the editing.
