"Dawn of the Justice League" is a 20-minute commercial from January this year hosted by Kevin Smith that promotes 2 upcoming superhero films. The good things first: Jared Leto's Joker looks pretty amazing, Bohemian Rhapsody is always a winner and luckily, this one here really isn't that long of a watch. But the big downside is that it is really nothing more than a commercial and an over-long one at that. It is clearly scripted and, even if Kevin Smith is known to be a superhero film nerd, he was still really embarrassing and unbearably over-the-top here. I liked him in some of the other stuff he has done, but this really left a negative impact. Luckily this little documentary does not take away any of my positive expectations for the film, but is also does not raise them by any means. As a whole, this is a documentary that adds really nothing memorable and I cannot recommend watching it. Thumbs down.
