Justice League

One of my boxing friends, from college days came up north for thanksgiving.
So it was interesting: he wanting to run around and me - with no wheels nor license.
Therefore we needed to bus.
But the weather was quite winter like!
So, movie time!

I really want to see Murder on the Orient Express, I have twice seen older versions and one blatant rip-off called The Cassandra Crossing.  But, my boxer friend was in more of an adrenaline soaked Justice League mood ....

And I was never an admirer of Stan Lee, Marvel or anything to do with this cartoon based series.  So we saw the Justice League.  ...sigh.... I had really low expectations, so understand when I say I am conflicted about the film .....

 Many of the performances was very good wonder woman.
A few, superman and batman, were barely adequate.
And one was outright laughable it was done so poorly!

Story was a yawner, as was dialog, most acting, etc - so very uneven.

Theater was jam packed, movie got a standing ovation.

Once again, I was the lone laughing movie goer.  The dialog had some very clever turns of phrase.  By the  half way point I was really starting to wonder what was wrong with the crowd, until the movie was over and I was able to look them over:  a gathering of nerds!  And here,I thought such people were only Hollywood fiction ...

Over-all, the movie was weak, even though Gal Gadot carried the film, hers was the only noted performance.  The worse was a cartoon (cgi) of a barely disguised Arnold - oh how I laughed !!!!!

My suggestion, see it cheaper as a rental.  Definitely not a keeper ...
