For this week’s movie review, Kurt Loder presents the pros and cons (mostly cons) of Justice League. A sampling:
PRO: At least Justice League isn’t a grim slog like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. What a drag that movie was.
CON: I’d say this film had a little lighter tone, except I don’t think it could be said to have any particular tone at all. There are some funny lines, some standard superhero mopery, and clumps of character moments—meet the Flash, say hi to Cyborg—amid acres of hysterical CGI, some of it quite bad. Every now and then you also get an unexpected squirt of all-purpose hugginess – something I attribute to Joss Whedon, who did some writing on the movie and later took over post-production and substantial reshoots after director Zack Snyder was sidelined by the death of his daughter last spring. Whether or not Whedon was actually responsible for the scene in which Superman and Lois Lane stand cooing at each other in a (CGI) cornfield, I feel that his presence enabled it.
