So I woke up at 6:30 am to watch the first screening of Justice League at 7:45 am. I booked myself the best IMAX seat in the theater. There were only a handful of people on the balcony section. So there, I had the perfect setting.
The movie starts off with a video phone recording of Superman. It has a very positive start. It follows off with building up on the rest of the Superheros including Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and a nice emotional scene of Barry Allen (The Flash) with his father in prison.
The tone of the movie is very upbeat and also dark in places where required. Steppenwolf is a worthy adversary albeit made up entirely of CGI. I had no problem with CGI at all. His devotion to world domination was portrayed as best as it can be. Perfect comic book to screen adaptation.
The team comes together very nicely and we see the reason why they must all come together since as individuals, they are unable to thwart Steppenwolf's plan to acquire the 3 motherboxes.
Spoilers Ahead:
The best part of the film was the rebirth scene of Superman. It is hands down the best portrayal of the comic book Superman on screen EVER. It shows his true prowess and why he is the true leader of the Justice League; mowing down the likes of WW, Batman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash as if they're mere annoyances. The best line from Kal- El to Bruce in that scene, "Tell me something, do you bleed?". Pure awesomeness.
The action is amazing, the CGI and special effects are perfect and the story and characters all have a very sincere depth to them. I had no doubt in my mind that Zack Snyder will deliver and boy, did he ever. The soundtrack pays perfect homage to past Superman and Batman.
Stay past the credits ALL the way and you will be surprised twice.
This is the Superman and JL movie I have been waiting for all my life. Do not believe the naysayers and the bubblegum superhero fans.
This is the DC Comic book film to rule over ALL other superhero films out there of past, present and future.
