Movie review
By David Josselyn
It was the best of movies, it was the worst of movies, it was the age of directorial wisdom, it was the age of directorial foolishness, it was the epoch of CGI, it was the CGI of incredulity, it was the season of light heartedness, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope for the future of DC Comics, it was the winter of despair for the future of superhero movies, we had everything to hope for, we had nothing to hope for, we were all going direct to blockbuster status, we were all going to bunkruptcy.DC Comics has been plagued by criticism of its movie universe surrounding the exploits of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. They have struggled to rise above the monstrous shadow of success achieved by Marvel; they were five years behind Marvel beginning their movie dynasty, their movies lacked heart, and they had difficulty representing their comic book heroes with any degree of accuracy. And then, in June 2017 as the Marvel franchise is starting to feel old and bloated, “Wonder Woman” shredded the poor DC image finally nailing a character with enough humanity to feed a craving from DC fans. That movie was not perfect, but it brought back hope to the franchise. With great anticipation, fans have been awaiting “Justice League” which brings together a team of mostly likable superheroes to battle a common foe. Did it rise above its predecessors or did DC once again fall into a pit of despair and loathing?
