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 ...
