Justice League
Director Zack Snyder, with the support of Joss Whedon, follows up Man of Steel and Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice with this superhero ensemble film featuring DC's finest. Henry Cavill returns as Superman, as does Ben Affleck as Batman and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. They are joined by Aquaman (Jason Momoa, Game of Thrones) The Flash (Ezra Miller, We Need to Talk About Kevin) and Cyborg (newcomer Ray Fisher). Fueled by Superman's selfless act at the conclusion of Dawn of Justice, Bruce Wayne enlists earth's mightiest to face an even greater enemy.

flicksJustice League? More like Justice Beleaguered amirite. The DC Extended Universe finally have their own Avengers to play with, but it’s a case of one step forward, two steps back for the franchise. Earlier this year, Wonder Woman delivered a satisfying, emotionally stirring superhero outing that could match the high-flying consistency of Marvel’s efforts (by DC’s patchy standards anyway). By contrast, this expedited team-up is a colossal, garish shambles that offers minor relief by being a smidgen less painful than Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Variety
pressAs a piece of product, “Justice League” is “superior” to “Batman v Superman,” but it’s also about as close to generic as a sharp-witted high-octane comic-book movie can get.
Time Out
pressEven Justice League's jaunty, cavorting orchestral score, supplied by Tim Burton's old foil Danny Elfman, harks back to a better time, when "Why so serious?" wasn't the rule. The pendulum swings.
The Guardian
pressBen Affleck’s unconvincing Batman deadens the long-awaited DC adventure as superheroes team up to save planet Earth from destruction, but not boredom.
Sydney Morning Herald
pressDC's trademark darkness [gives] way to a brand of sentimental uplift that Snyder, Whedon and company apparently see as necessary in our own dark times.
Newsroom
pressThe sense of déjà vu in this heroes assemble film is almost stifling, it feels like much is an identikit of all-too-familiar elements and tropes.
Hollywood Reporter
pressThis hodgepodge throws a bunch of superheroes into a mix that neither congeals nor particularly makes you want to see more of them in future. Plainly put, it's simply not fun.
Collider
press...sure, Justice League is better than Batman v Superman, but that doesn’t make it good.
