Justice League

Batman (Ben Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Superman (Henry Cavill), the Flash (Ezra Miller), Aquaman (Jason Momoa) and Cyborg (Ray Fisher) do superhero stuff against a supervillain named Steppenwolf (heavily computer generated, though the credits allege that Ciarán Hinds is in there somewhere). The movie is marginally less atrocious than director Zack Snyder’s last two superhero atrocities—but that’s mighty faint praise, considering how difficult it would be to make a worse movie that Man of Steel or Batman vs. Superman. Rumor tells of extensive re-shoots directed by Joss Whedon (who gets co-writer credit with Snyder and Chris Terrio), expanding Gal Gadot’s part (wisely) and adding comic relief for Ezra Miller (less wisely). The result is frankly a mess, although the fans probably won’t care. J.L.
