Justice League review

Justice League
The fourth DC Extended Universe film. Batman and Wonder Woman have to get a team together, when Earth is threatened by the return of Steppenwolf. The opening scenes, with Wonder Woman intervening in a terrorist attack, in London and Batman confronting a Parademon in Gotham were well done. The way that Bruce Wayne recruits Barry Allen was quite inspired, and Barry is suitably awkward and relatable. The scenes in Themyscira and Atlantis effectively show the threat that Steppenwolf and his forces pose.
The nature of Aquaman is effectively shown, especially in the scene in the Nordic village, where Bruce Wayne finds him. Then there is Victor Stone, Cyborg. His questions of identity as the technology in his body continues to adapt were presented in an effective manner. The nature of the Mother Boxes was presented in an understandable way. The realisation that the team isn't enough to fight against Steppenwolf, and Batman's solution to that is done quite well. The ethical implications of such a solution are presented effectively.

This obvious twist helps to lead to a fun conclusion to an interesting story. 8.25/10.
