Les Deplorables
Another mediocre DC cinematic effort. The dialogue is awful by comparison to the better Marvel movies. The bad guy is underdeveloped and just a caricature.
And of course they had to throw in a reference to Islamophobia* - because when Muslims are blowing up innocents, slitting throats and shooting "infidels", all in the name of Islam, the thing we should be worried about is Islamophobia.
* Fear of Islam isn't irrational. It's perfectly justified given its teachings and the behavior of its most faithful adherents.
And the team is totally unbalanced by virtue of Superman. He can trash the big baddy with one hand while drinking coffee with the other. Any villains powerful enough to seriously challenge him would crush everyone else on the team, including Wonder Woman, who is the next most powerful. Also, whose decision was it to give Aquaman a California surfer dude accent? Aquaman would have sounded better if he spoke English with a Dothraki accent.
