A good movie, as always William Powell and Myrna Loy as always fantastic together.
This was the 3rd of the 14 movies they did together.

The last movie I saw in theaters was Justice League. This movie was completely "meh" in most every way possible. Not offensively bad like Batman V Superman, but certainly not good either. Everything came across as shallow and the CGI bad guy is the absolute worst. Why on earth did they need to go all CGI and not use an actor?
I do totally agree with studio execs that forced them to keep the run time under two hours. Since everyone NOT Wonder Woman in this cinematic universe is terribly one dimensional, adding thirty minutes or more of mindless prattle would have been a terrible idea. Basically, there is no developing characters this shallow to start with... might as well go all video game cut scene action. As for Wonder Woman, THAT is the true ace the WB has going for them. Not the character so much as the actress they stumbled upon to play her. Talk about finding absolute gold. Gal Gadot hypnotizes and captivates on screen no matter what she is doing. Add action to her natural beauty and charm and you literally can't get enough of her in to the story. I'm sure they realize that the focus should be on her from here forward.
Of the new characters, only Cyborg has any hint of depth at all. Both Flash and Aquaman are cardboard wastes so far. So, the DCEU is truly stuck in the shallow end of the pool but maybe Wonder Woman can single-handedly tow the universe to deeper and more interesting waters.
Best overall quote I've read: "Justice League was the cinematic equivalent of watching a classmate give a presentation they totally forgot about"
So basically I’m giving this movie a 6/10.

You know, I was very disappointed in this film. It wasn't at all what I was expecting it to be. It was more of a historical film than a superhero film. Perhaps it's just me, though?

I hardly ever go by what the critics say. I usually don't agree with them. I haven't seen this one yet.LivreAmour217 wrote: ↑13 Dec 2017, 16:17 I saw The Justice League about two weeks ago. It’s not as bad as the critics are saying, but I do feel a little burned out on superhero films. Perhaps I’m not the only one, and that’s why it hasn’t done very well.
