Justice League

Rent & Buy
Fuelled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's selfless act, Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince assemble a team of metahumans consisting of Barry Allen, Arthur Curry and Victor Stone to face the catastrophic threat of Steppenwolf and the Parademons who are on the hunt for three Mother Boxes on Earth.
What critics thought
Critics landed all over the map on Justice League, though the negative and mixed camp dominated: the ensemble cast drew genuine warmth, but the film was broadly faulted for a muddled plot, a weak villain in Steppenwolf, and visual ugliness. The central disagreement was whether the team's breezy camaraderie was enough to paper over the structural problems — some found it charming and light on its feet, others felt it exposed how far the DC franchise still lagged behind its Marvel competition.
“It's a putting-the-band-together origins movie, executed with great fun and energy.”
Richard Roeper·Chicago Sun-Times
“The scenes of the League members together, bickering and bonding, spike the film with humor and genuine feeling, creating a rooting interest in the audience. Without it, the film would crumble.”
Peter Travers·Rolling Stone
“Fatigue, repetition and a laborious approach to exposition are the keynotes of this affair, which is also notable for how Ben Affleck, donning the bat suit for the second time, looks like he'd rather be almost anywhere else but here.”
Todd McCarthy·The Hollywood Reporter
“a symbol of just how entrenched superhero movies have become in the Hollywood ecosystem, it's also a potent illustration that success hasn't necessarily artistically elevated the genre.”
Alyssa Rosenberg·The Washington Post
“there is something undeniably thrilling in seeing these iconic characters work together on the big screen.”
