Many seem to forget that superheroes are the manifestation of active creative imagination. While it is common in children, most adults push it down in pursuit of linear ambitions.

Justice League is a movie that caters to this imagination. Beautifully stitched together with excellent cinematography, the short and sweet saga features your favourite heroes saving the world and themselves in the process.

A few CGI issues were evident, along with hasty editing. But the rest of it more than made up for these slips.

My only real complaint was the I did not get enough. It was a marvel (yes, an actual Marvel that didn’t oversell and under deliver) on the big screen, but it got over like the fine bar of chocolate you opened in front of children. A smooth bar of indulgence — with its cracks of course, but no faults.

I just wanted to taste more. And this is where the movie triumphs.

As Zach Snyder’s epic renders us yearning for more, it sets the precedence to a wonderful movie universe for future projects while not forgetting its primary objective — to entertain.

Nitpicking

Being an ardent comic book buff, I went all in to pick on the nitty gritty of the film.

It is easy to critique. It is even more convenient to compare two or more diverse things and pick on the different.

But to enjoy a work of art that delivers what it intended to do, is refreshing if more attempted to see it.

The lightness that it brought while dealing with the layers make it an entertainer for children. I’m sure they will take to it in the first ten minutes.

I thoroughly loved it.

To take a complex subject and then stitch it beautifully together with all the characters without losing on the gist of what makes these superheroes humans, you end the movie with a smile on your face.

PSA: There are two end-credit scenes. You don’t want to miss them.
