This can honestly be called DC's Avengers Assemble but in the end any group will have an origin story and they are going to be rather similar although having a baddie with a horned helmet who teleports in via a beam of light is pushing that a bit far :-)
The team do have some parallels but I will forgive that as this film stands on its own as a great one, despite what some critics have said about it. The characters have their own reasons to be in the League and there is far less of the inter team problems that Avengers had which I like better.
The film has some great action and good set pieces with a team of actors that are very good and they all look right as their superhero personas.
Several other characters who were part of the comic book league are hinted at in the initial part of the film and that makes me feel excited for further movies.
So have DC matched Marvel yet? Not quite but they are easily better than many of the early Marvel offerings and not very far off the Avengers. Lets hope the naysayers do not kill this resurgence before we get more from the DC Universe as they have some of the best Superheroes in the comic world.
Please go see it, you will not be disappointed, oh and stay till the very end as there are two post credit scenes to enjoy and the second is the most important.
