Justice League is lucky it pulled Kick-Ass 2 as an opponent. I remember liking Kick-Ass 2 at first, but in retrospect, man does it suck. Justice League is a Frankenstein's Monster of a movie and has an atrocious CGI villain, but at least it's still entertaining to watch.
Justice League

Wadlow is one of those people who keeps failing but Hollywood keeps handing him money. He's lucky it's so easy to turn a profit at Blumhouse or he might be unhireable.

Fantasy Island was a hilariously incoherent ride, but somebody needs to back this guy from the table and tell him he's done.

Just think if he had actually gotten to do that X-Force movie.

Cons: I mean...Jeff Wadlow, man. Is there anybody in Hollywood with less talent than this guy? I mean, besides Doomsday . You'll be singing a different tune after you read my Jungle 2 Jungle 2 script.

Kick-@$$ 2
I think they're both pretty terrible. KA2 is a lame sequel based on lame sequel comics. Of course it sucked. It had limited potential to begin with. Justice League however, is built upon a foundation of some of the most iconic characters in American pop culture, and still managed to suck big time. It had huge potential, and wasted it completely. I can't forgive wasted potential.

THE FINAL VOTE:Justice LeagueBoth movies not great, which makes this a "put a gun to my head and make me choose one to watch right now" choice, which would be Justice League. The strength and chemistry of its cast makes it the clear winner here, and it's just the more amusing watch. The ScoreJustice League: 6 Kick-Ass 2: 2WINNER:DCIs this what it feels like to be loved? A severely powered down Justice League can still handle Justice Forever. That's just a fact. DC: 19 Marvel: 18 Draw: 2ROUND 40!
IN THIS CORNERSuperheroes: Scott Menville as Robin, Hynden Walch as Starfire, Khary Payton as Cyborg, Tara Strong as Raven, Greg Cipes as Beast Boy, Nicolas Cage as Superman, Halsey as Wonder Woman, Jimmy Kimmell as Batman, Eric Bauza as Aquaman, Lil Yachty as Green Lantern, Wil Wheaton as the Flash, Michael Bolton as Tiger, Joey Cappabianca as Plastic Man, Patton Oswalt as Atom, Meredith Salenger as Supergirl Supervillains: Will Arnett as Slade, Kristen Bell as Jade Wilson, Greg Davies as Balloon Man, Phil Morris as D.O.O.M.S.D.A.Y., Alexander Polinsky as Control Freak Civilians: Stan Lee as Stan Lee, David Kaye as Announcer Run Time: 1 Hours 24 Minutes Director: Peter Rida Michail, Aaron Horvath Writer: Michael Jalenic, Aaron Horvath Music: Jared Faber Cinematography: N/A Tomatometer: 91% IMDB: 6.8 Story: In the feature film version of the longest running (in episode count) comic book television series of all time (it's true, so fuck the haters), the Teen Titans attend the premiere of the latest DC movie, Batman Again, and Robin becomes convinced that the only way to be taken seriously as a superhero is to have your own movie. The first step is to find their own arch-nemesis, which they try to imprint onto the next big criminal they encounter, an armored assassin named Slade (Deathstroke really, but this is a kid's cartoon and the word "death" was rejected), but Slade is too powerful for the team. But as the Titans continue to pester Slade, soon big Hollywood producer Jade Wilson becomes more interested in them, Robin specifically. As Robin gets sucked up in the Hollywood life, he soon finds himself alienated from his team. Pros: This movie is way better than it should be, with a surprisingly clever meta commentary on superhero film culture. Cons: The fake toilet scene goes on way longer than it needs to. AND IN THIS CORNERSuperheroes: Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Anthony Hopkins as Odin, Renee Russo as Frigga, Idris Elba as Heimdal, Jamie Alexander as Sif, Ray Stevenson as Volstag, Zachary Levi as Fandral, Tadanobu Asano as Hogan Supervillains: Christopher Eccleston as Malekith, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Algrim/The Kursed Civilians: Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, Stellan Skarsgard as Erik Selvig, Katt Dennings as Darcy Lewis, Benicio del Toro as the Collector Run Time: 1 Hour 52 Minutes Director: Alan Taylor (Terminator: Genisys) Writer: Christopher Host (Max Steel), Christopher Marcus & Steven McFeely (Captain America: The First Avenger) Music: Brian Tyler (Constantine, Iron Man Three) Cinematographer: Kramer Morgenthau (Terminator: Genisys) Tomatometer: 66% IMDB: 6.9 Story: As Thor cleans up the mess the destruction of the Bifrost left across the Nine Realms, he finds his attention drift back to Earth as and event called the Convergence opens a series of portals and Jane Foster finds herself sucked into one, where she becomes infected with the Aether, an otherworldly substance that is the source of a great power. Thor returns to Jane and whisks her to Asgard to separate her from the Aether, but Asgard soon finds itself invaded by the Dark Elves, a race whose leader Malekith desires to use the Aether to allow his race to thrive across the universe. Limited on options, Thor must trust his deceitful brother Loki to help himself and Jane escape into the Nine Realms and lure Malekith into a confrontation. Pros: As far as Doctor Whos are concerned, Christopher Eccleston can now forever have a leg up on David Tennant in that he played a Marvel villain on the big screen instead of a TV show. Tennant's still better though. Cons: Is the whipping boy of the MCU. But that's more of a testament to how enjoyable MCU movies are. FIGHT!
