Justice League

This week's movie rental was Justice League ...

a 2017 American superhero film based on the DC Comics superhero team of the same name .... and features an ensemble cast that includes Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, and Ray Fisher as the titular team, with Amy Adams, Jeremy Irons, Diane Lane, Connie Nielsen, and J. K. Simmons in supporting roles. In the film, Batman and Wonder Woman recruit The Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg after Superman's death to save the world from the catastrophic threat of Steppenwolf and his army of Parademons.

This is the poor man's version of The Avengers, but still kind of fun. I especially wanted to see it because Jason Momoa, who plays Aquaman in this film, was Ronon Dex in Stargate Atlantis. Here he is as the guy who talks to fish :) ...



The best part of the movie, I thought, was that they brought Superman back to life ... he had been killed in the previous Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ... and I do like this recent version of Superman, though Christopher Reeve's version will always be my favorite.

The reviews of the film were pretty negative, like this one from Vanity Fair - Justice League Is a Big, Ugly Mess - but if you're a fan you'll probably be entertained.

Here's a trailer ...
