JUSTICE LEAGUE Director: Zach Snyder Starring: Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, Ray Fisher, Jeremy Irons, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Connie Nielsen, J.K. Simmons, Ciarán Hinds, Joe Morton DC Comics continues to crank out movies in their superhero universe in hopes of veering the franchise in the right direction. Earlier this year we saw the release of Wonder Woman, which came as a sigh of relief for many fans and was the first big success for DC’s Extended Universe. Like the old saying goes, one step forward and two steps back for DC with Justice League. That’s not to say it’s terrible. IRead More →
