Justice League












LANDON **
Here we are.  The much-awaited (depending on who you talk to) "Justice League" film is here to counter Marvel's "The Avengers."  And what a counter.  Every film in this franchise save for the very good "Wonder Woman" has been mediocre.  And I am going to put most of the blame on Zack Snyder.  The man is apparently incapable of directing an engaging narrative.  Even his visual spectacle, which most audiences give him praise for, is totally cluttered and feels completely fake.  This movie is all kinds of boring.  It's flat story, monotonous villain, lack of character depth; all completely boring.  It does keep itself from being bad with, admittedly, some action scenes that can be pretty entertaining.  Nonetheless, this film is not worth it.  It's a whole lot of nothing.  I don't recommend it.  In fact, I recommend giving up on the franchise altogether because it's not going places anytime soon.

LOGAN *1/2
I have to say: even though I had my expectations low for this one, it was actually worse than I thought it would be.  I agree with everything Landon says except for the action, which I didn't find that entertaining.  The reason being that since the movie is so boring, and we don't know anything about most of these characters, there isn't any weight to the action that would have me invested in it.  I didn't care about hardly ANYTHING that was happening in "Justice League" for that reason.  Some technical aspects are pretty neat, but in terms of characters, action and story, I didn't care.  I have a feeling that DC is not going to impress again anytime soon.
