Justice League

Going into this, never having bothered with the Bat Affleck and Cavill Superman movies to begin with (something about those two IRL that gives me the willies; don't get me started on Affleck's half assed apology tour he's doing while doing the press tour for this movie). So did I like DC's superhero team movie? Well...
  • I suppose it was just as well that Ciarán Hinds is only the voice of Steppenwolf - I can't imagine the guy doing his own stunts/MoCap - but if his friend and contemporary Liam Neeson can have a late life action star career,... #justsaying

    But seriously, if he's the voice, who's doing the physical stuff?
  • Have to like that they didn't forget to include the Wonder Wonder score .. 
  • Ben Affleck's Batman looks REALLY long in the tooth and worn out. 
  • Ezra Miller's Barry Allen/Flash is basically just the comic relief lah. And human powerbank.
  • I can't help but applaud at the Amazonians when they came on screen (they're my favourite to watch), but I was also like "bow and arrow where got enough?", not just for fighting off Steppenwolf, but for defending Themyscira in general. I wonder if they just shot these scenes while shooting Wonder Woman, or afters?
  • Is Antiope still dead ah? Cos Robin Wright either got cut out or something else behind the scenes happened.
  • That is seriously one magic arrow, for flying so far to warn Diana. I know it's CG lah, but still... 
  • Seriously, how did Diana know the Steppenwolf backstory enough to tell Batman? That battle scene in the flashback (which Hippolyta fought? - seriously, how OLD is SHE?) looked LOTR-epic.
  • I wonder how much was Amy Adams and Diane Lane paid for their 10 minutes of screen time?
  • Hang on, was that Doutzen Kroes? Yep. (She was one of the last Amazonians who shot off the Mother Box before unceremoniously dying... I think). That was a crazy relay race, I tell you. 
  • If they were going with a radically more macho Aquaman (who gets a lot of shit over the years for the orange/green outfit, talking to fish, etc and not just in Robot Chicken), I think they were right picking Jason Momoa. Also like that they addressed the "talk to fish" thing by saying "the water talks to them" Errr... ye lah tu. I probably wouldn't mind watching the solo Aquaman movie when it comes out. 
  • I laughed so hard when Barry asked Bruce, "So what's your superpower?" "I'm rich" Which is REALLY on the nose 😆 
  • When Joe Morton first came on screen, I wondered if he was gonna Papa Pope it up... 
  • Did anyone else thought Batman's contingency plan WASN'T going to be Lois Lane? "Bring in the big guns" konon.... 🙄
  • That Russian village is going to be a weird tourist attraction for years to come. 
For a movie that Joss Whedon had to take over after Snyder stepped down due to family issues, it still feels like a Snyder movie. I thought it was just okay only lah.
