At some point, I should just know better. To get my hopes up
at all that Justice League could pull
off the ambitious task of continuing the plotting of where Batman V Superman left off, introduce three new heroes, and still
manage to balance the tones and intents of the course correcting DC Cinematic
Universe (DCCU) was just silly. Perhaps it was the heights that Wonder Woman actually reached as a
heartfelt and interesting blockbuster that made me hope for the best. Perhaps
it was the rumors and articles claiming Joss Whedon had to do extensive
reshoots to try and produce a stronger film that made me hope Justice League would work. Ultimately,
it doesn’t matter all that much because Justice
League is a film that tries to cover its gaping holes and problematic
issues with quips, cheesy moments, and the quickest pace of any DCCU film thus
far. No matter how much fun the film tries to be, it’s built on extremely
cracked and challenging foundations that undermine the experience of the film.
