Justice League Reviews: Here We Go Again!

Warner Brothers have two franchises they can bank on.
DC is one of them.
Harry Potter is the other.

Still waiting on a Dean Thomas film.
 
If they do blow it up, the only thing that should stay for sure is Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman. She's amazing in that role.
 
Snyder really isn't the man for what should be the most mainstream comicbook franchise.

The look of his films is different and even at times interesting, but not for who should be the target audience - children.

He's got a cracking story. My favourite is when he goes to the battle of Hogwarts and Sheamus reminds him he'll need his wand. Kid's a West Ham supporter from London, he's gonna knife some death eaters.
 
Felt like it jumped around a lot at the beginning. Also, it's one of the rare examples of a movie actually needing to be longer. There just wasn't enough development for the new characters. It certainly wasn't terrible though. Oh and Henry Cavill's lip bothered the hell out of me. I had to google why they would use CGI on it. My wife couldn't notice it. Jumped right off the screen to me.
 
Does anyone else think they could have done more to promote it? It has an 85% on Rotten Tomatoes, but made less than a third of it's budget in the opening week. Typically even shitty superhero films make back their budget in opening week. Granted I have zero interest in the film and the DC franchise, but I didn't even know the movie was due out so soon.
 
The promotion was definitely a miss.

This has a chance to be a legitimate box office bomb, and the wonky promotion has a lot to do with it. There was nothing about anything in the trailers that indicated it was anything more than the shit show BvS was.
 
People are mad about the costumes for the Amazonian warriors. Clear differences from the designs between Wonder Woman and Justice League.

All of that horse shit is taken WILDLY out of context. You see maybe three women wearing that kind of armour for a grand total of 5 seconds. It's entirely clear every warrior wears their own individual armor.
 
Yea man.

Just got out of the theatre and I'm beyond baffled at whay everyone found so offensively atrocious about it.

Agreed, wifey and I went to it last night and I thought it was solid. It flew by, didn't outstay it's welcome, and was generally a good time. I like what they're doing with Cyborg and Aquaman was badass.

Fuck Yea, same.

I also laugh at people saying the new characters didn't get enough time....im fairly certain that was the point. Gave you just enough exposure to want to learn more about them in their solo movies.

The movie in general maybe could have benefited from 5 more minutes, but the claims it horrifically disfigured the movie are way, way, waaaayyyy dramatically blown out of proportion.
 
Mega- pop for that certain cameo during the flashback first battle with S-Wolf

I properly popped for that

And when I realised there was more than one and I was like shit the corps.

Though the second post credit scene I shouted out fuck it's deathstroke without realising I did it!

For me Superman was perfect, it's exactly how Superman should be in a movie.
 
The character thing was well done. I have questions that I know the Aquaman movie will answer. I have questions that the Cyborg movie will answer and Flash fits in nicely.

Also I loved that the whole league had an important role to play.

The post-credit was fucking KILLER.

I have to be honest, I have seen 100 people make the superman comment and I have no idea what they mean. Not that he was bad, I just don't get what was different about him here than elsewhere.

Lol the part were he comes back "so do we....bow? Show our bellies? " :lmao:

The mustache thing was another thing blown wildly out of proportion. It's only noticeable in that opening scene.

Some people's arcs were better than others, but I think that was in service to the plans. Aquaman had a stunted arc because they want you to really want more of him.

Flash provides the comedy, and gets comedic bits out of the others. Critics make it out like everyone thhinks they are in an episode of Seinfeild (also known as being in an Avengers movie) but it's really not like that. Flash is the one being funny the whole time, and his character being added to the team evokes comedy from the others.

It was great how they made a strong point of the fact that all and all Wonder Woman is probably the most badass member of the team.

I also like how it was strongly pointed to that Batman fights along these beings as just a mortal man, and heavily pays the price for it....making him, in a way, the bravest of all.

He was cheesy, powerful and happy. The original 4 had it and returns had it with the plane scene but for MOS and BvS was too brooding for him. The Flash/Superman scene being the perfect balance.
 
I get it. I don't feel like the other portrayals were that wrong though, it's as if people forget the first two were portraying someone trying to come to grips with who/what he was, and the pressure that comes with it

The third film is just about were that arc should come to fruition

Oh that I very much understand, him killing Zod a prime example.
 
I liked it. Was prettu enjoyable as dumb mindless fun.

Didn't like how Flash was Wally West and not Barry Allen (I'll get over it though) Aquaman was cool, Ben Affleck is still good. I liked the after credits scene.

The CGI on Superman's face was very distracting though
 
Flash was totally Barry Allen.

Anyways, I watched it again and I have to say, I enjoyed more in the second viewing. I think it's because this time I was just watching and enjoying myself whereas last time, I was making it a point to look for the bad things that I had read about. Never go into a movie looking for the bad people, because you're going to find it. Anyways, I still hold it behind WW and MoS but in front of BvS and SS.
