Justice League is DC Comics' all-star superhero adventure, with Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Cyborg, and Aquaman. As in previous DC movies, this one has lots of large-scale, explosive violence (close-up battles as well as mass destruction of property, all with loads of different weapons). But it's not as dark, and there's far less romance -- minus comments about Wonder Woman's attractiveness, a few shots of shirtless men, and a couple of kisses. Language includes occasional use of words including "s--t," "a--hole," and "son of a bitch." With its big ensemble and messages of teamwork and courage, expect this installment to appeal to viewers of all ages, but it's most appropriate for tweens and up. And while it's not strictly necessary, it's best to have seen Wonder Woman and Batman v Superman to really follow along. (Note: Be sure to watch the entire end credits of Justice League, because there are two extra scenes that set up the sequel.)

The film is directed by Zack Snyder, director, screenwriter and producer who is at the top of the Hollywood industry today, having developed a short but surprising film career full of innovation, quality and talent. This director debuted on the big screen with Dawn of the Dead (2014) the remake of the zombie classic directed by Geroge A. Romero in 1978. The film, recorded in digital format, has become over the years one of the best rated films of the genre. However, enough to the fame came thanks to 300 (2006), an adaptation of the comic Frank Miller (author of the graphic novel "Sin City") on the famous battle of Thermopylae (480 BC). The novelty and revolutionary technique of chroma superimposition made possible a production of war and adventure according to a tight budget. The surprising worldwide success at the box office of the film was the director in one of the values ​​to take into account for the successive super productions of Hollywood. In 2009 Zack Snyder completely adapted another Miller comic, and this time superheroes. Titled as Watchmen (2009) the film did not achieve the same success as its predecessor but it stopped reading the bases of a new and particular visual style with which the director began to differ from other action directors. His next work was the movie Legend of the Guardians (2010), a fantasy movie that recreates the adventures of a small group with other friends on the island of Ga'Hoole. Sucker Punch (2011) is his most atypical and personal film, and among other things, it is a tribute to the anime. Relying on a soundtrack with notable prominence, it includes frequent dream sequences or surreal. While it was not a blockbuster, it sold many copies on DVD and has become a cult piece in certain circles. Two years later, and helped by Christopher Nolan in the production, he was in charge of a new adaptation of Superman, a film that debuted with the title of "The Man of Steel" (2013) and achieved great success at the box office. After this title, a Snyder relied on one of Warner Bross's most important and risky projects, the beginning of the so-called "DC Comics movie universe", which was beginning to be configured with "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (2016 )), film conceived to be a sequel to "The Man of Steel" (2013) and also a crossover with the Batman franchise. In addition, in the film appeared for the first time the personage of "Wonder Woman", a fictitious superheroine created by William Moulton Marston for the publishing DC Comics.

**WHAT'S THE STORY?**
 In a world that's mourning Superman's death after the events of Batman v Superman. In Gotham City, Batman (Ben Affleck) notices that flying alien creatures that feed on fear keep popping up. And in Themyscira, Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen) and the other Amazons face off against reborn supervillain Steppenwolf (Ciaran Hinds), who's returned to Earth to find three "mother boxes" of energy (one is with the Amazons on Paradise Island, one is with the Atlanteans under the sea, and the final one is hidden among men). When joined together, the boxes will cause mass destruction and a new world over which Steppenwolf can preside. Bruce Wayne enlists Diana Prince/Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) to help him recruit a team of superheroes -- including young Barry Allen/The Flash (Ezra Miller), reclusive Victor Stone/Cyborg (Ray Fisher), and rebellious Arthur Curry/Aquaman (Jason Momoa) -- to stop Steppenwolf and his fear-devouring parademons from destroying the world.
