That'll work...I'm nervous being a big DC fan so I'm hoping this is the case

RobBlake 11-08-2017 01:52 AM

It's harder to nail the noir feel of most D.C. Comics.. but if they can eventually it will be greater than marvel imo

Justice League finally hits cinemas this week and the first reviews are now in.

And while the critics seem to agree it's better than Batman v Superman, that's not saying much, as they've also hit out at the film for being "garishly unattractive" with a plot that's a "mess" and "sub-par VFX".

I figured it would be terrible, that's unfortunate. Should have canned Zach Snyder's ass the second Man of Steel came out as it was clear his vision of the DCU wasn't going to work.

Sure-Oz 11-15-2017 07:21 PM

I've heard the plot and villain are light but the team is fun.

I'm sure I'll enjoy it, seeing it Sunday.

Did you like Wonder Woman? Iim hoping Aquaman is good

DaneMcCloud 11-15-2017 07:53 PM

I couldn’t care less about reviews, as it’s become fashionable to bash DC (and blockbuster movies in general).

Seeing it Saturday with the fam with lunch afterwards, then a holiday party at the Greek.

It’ll be fun.

It was wasn't terrible.. the first "solid" DC film so far I think, but even then it was pretty cookie cutter and had its share of narrative problems (the "big reveal" was unearned and pretty stupid). Highly overrated if you ask me, but almost justifiable given Gadot's performance (versus the expectations). I think a plain cut-and-dry movie like WW somehow being DC's "breakthrough" film speaks more to the state of the DC cinematic universe than standalone praise.

Again, it's pretty sad state to be in when the objective for Warner Bros with big hitter titles like Justice League is "**** the story.. if we, at the very least, present somewhat likeable characters, then it's a success." They have the best minds in comics at their disposal with over half a century of established content to go off of.. the bar for these movies should be so much higher

Virtually every review I remember reading blasted both those movies. Appropriately so.

CoMoChief 11-15-2017 10:27 PM

I think the Superhero thing is just so over-saturated between all of the spin off TV/Netflix series etc. DC has always been a Batman/Superman franchise and both characters have had their movies rebooted time and time over and over again. Seems like they're just now trying to play catch-up, but the boat left the dock about 10yrs ago.

And Ben Affleck just ****in sucks in just about every movie he's ever been in. Whoever at WB/DC studios signed off on him being Batman needs to have their god damn sack cut off.
Want to **** the franchise right up it's ass right out of the gate? Have Ben Affleck play Batman.

Didn't even bother to watch Suicide Squad whole way through. Got bored w/ it and turned if off about half-way through and didn't ever bother to watch the rest.

The only hope they have to put DCU on the map is to possibly have a Joker stand alone film. None of this Jared Leto Marilyn Manson emo-Joker bullshit, you have to be ****ing kidding me.

I like the current Superman. But DC took 2 of their most iconic characters they have and completely ****ed them both all to hell.

I watched both - actually BOUGHT both - based solely on this place. You ****ers owe me $40.

Sure-Oz 11-16-2017 12:54 PM

40% on RT 144 reviews... metacritic 48 overall.

Funny a rolling Stone review by Travers is 63 on metacritic but is counted as rotten on RT.

Probably better than BVS but not as good as WW. Sounds like this movie should've been longer too.

ROFL Both those movies are so terrible I have never been able to finish either of them.

The only other movie I can say I could never finish was Alexander when Hollywood decided to make him gay just for the hell of it.

For you, individually, perhaps, but as long as these studios actually put out good movies people will still flock to see them.

Marvel is cleaning up right now and their next Avengers flick will probably break every record ever.

I saw it last night and this is exactly my thoughts. I think they were hurt by not having individual movies for each character. Cyborg comes off really flat because of this. Aquaman and Flash overcome some of it due to their emotions, but cyborg, well that's not part of the character.

I agree where as B v S was too drawn out and longer than it should have been. I think they wanted keep in mind mistakes from that one. I enjoyed it and hope everyone else does too.

'87 and '86 respectively. Young Sherlock Holmes had one in '85. That's the first one I've ever seen.

Apparently the very first was 1903's Great Train Robbery. First mainstream was The Muppet Movie in 1979.

The movie was really, really enjoyable and I didn't find it too short, whatsoever.

I dig the look and production of these DC comics because they're very "stylized", which is obviously very different than Marvel but I personally prefer the DC movies to the Marvel films overall.

I've only seen Batman v. Superman UE and I think it' bad ass.

There's a whole Marvel vs. DC fan boy thing that I will never understand.

Marvel has made some bad movies, far worse than any in Snyder's universe, IMO.

Iron Man 2? Thor 2? Even The Avengers (which I've hated since I bought it on DVD after the initial release).

To me, they're rubbish. To others, the DC rubbish.

Live and let live.

I wish I could say "Yes" but I can't.

DC is in a big transition right now, which *I* believe is wrong because they're finally getting to the point where they've carved out their center of the comic book universe.

Too many itchy trigger fingers.

That said, I found Danny Elfman's score to be far more subtle than I expected. He's usually so bombastic, which makes me question if there was a guiding hand behind him (not Williams but Johns & Company). Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a "bad" thing, just a little different for him.

My opinion is that they should continue on this trajectory, with Ben Affleck as Batman, and have Matt do his thing, separately, with Jake.

This film really worked for me and I think it would be a mistake to break up this cast and not continue with these stories.

Valiant 11-18-2017 11:38 PM

It was just under wonder woman for a good DC movie. There was lots to enjoy.

Any comic fan should see it. But lots of problems for me.
Cyborg CGI.
Steppenwolf CGI.
Batman having better jokes than flash.

I'm not much of a DC comix fan. Always hated the Superman character.

I'll admit though that the last Superman movie is the first one I've actually liked. To me his conflict/character flaws made the character relatable instead of a 1950's boy scout.

At this point Marvel comix (not the films) have been completely ruined by politics. I'd prefer to spend that $$$ on watching a DC film...

People clapping at certain scences and a huge roar and clapping at the end.

I’m not sure I’ll get to see it again in the theater but it’s a first day digital purchase on VUDU.

Gravedigger 11-19-2017 09:43 PM

It was pretty good. The biggest gripes from critics I could see; formulaic plot, one note villain, too much CGI. I still found myself enjoying it, thought Batman was kinda weakly written in this film with not enough action to do. Flash was the best, Aquaman was good, WW was WW, and Cyborg wasn't as robotic as I thought he would be, or looked in the trailers. Some things I left scratching my head on, but nothing that detracted from the overall film. I could see it in the 7-8/10 range. RT score is just critics bitching with a preconceived notion, you'll enjoy yourself. If you're worried about it, go see a matinee during the day so you don't spend as much money.

tk13 11-19-2017 09:46 PM

The weekend box office is disappointing. It made $96 million, which is a ton of money, but compared to other superhero films, even the other DC films, it's not really that great. Didn't even make as much on opening weekend as Suicide Squad, or Wonder Woman.

Hard to rationalize with a film that saw the greatest superheros of all time team up. Even 10 years ago, you would've assumed this would be a $200 million movie. Be curious to see where WB takes this thing now. Do they keep pressing on or do they just reboot the whole thing?

If and when WB does another Superman film I hope they get Sam Raimi to direct. He nailed SpiderMan 1&2. IMO, if they can convey the same sentiments that Raimi depicted in Spidey then it's a giant step in righting the ship.

The Flash stole the show. He was the best and they all were great. I didn't like Ben Aflac in BvS but this was much better in it. Still The Flash rocked and I'm a huge The Fan on CW I didn't think I'd enjoy him because he reminds me of Lenard on the big bang theory.

How anyone doesn't enjoy Justice League is beyond my understanding. I think those who don't like it pre- decided not to like it with an agenda to bitch because their life has no fulfilling quality to it.


This movie is great. Sure if you want to find flaws you will but the movie goes above and beyond what going to the movies is all about. Enjoy or be a miserable puts.

Sure-Oz 11-20-2017 07:32 AM

I definitely noticed some scenes completely cut from the movie too from the trailers...such as flash putting his finger through glass or Lois talking to Clark on the field and talking about the ring. Extended cyborg flying straight up, Bruce Wayne looking at a Superman hologram, Alfred having someone approach him, likely Superman, no cyborg human version and football scene, probably more...

Edit: here we go... hopefully they create an ultimate cut if these scenes make the movie better.

Meh. I've talked to several friends who have seen it because I wanted to know IF I needed to see it in theaters or if it was a rental. They've all said it's a decent movie, but it should have been more. They also said it seemed rushed. Everyone gave it 6-6.5/10.

Pretty much what I thought. It seems like so many people are wanting DC to make a good movie so when they actually put out something that isn't complete garbage they are all like "Oh my god, it was so great!". Same thing with WW. It was a good movie but it wasn't great. It is better than Justice League. I would probably go in my DC rankings as WW > Justice League > Man of Steele(Probably a tie with JL) > B vs S(gets a big boost from the extended cut) > Suicide Squad(this will probably be at the bottom for a long while).

With this movie I deduce Batman is just a rich guy with a lot of gadgets and guns. Not a super sleuth or anything else. I also deduce that the Justice League really can't do anything without Superman either. And why all of a sudden the about face for Batman. B vs S -> If there is just a sliver of a chance Superman turns we need to kill him... Justice League -> if there is just a sliver of a chance we can bring him back we must, he is the only hope.

This movie is great. Sure if you want to find flaws you will but the movie goes above and beyond what going to the movies is all about. Enjoy or be a miserable puts.

No one to blame but themselves. Looks like they're trending in the right direction quality wise but after that shitheel BvS movie there's still plenty of ground to cover.

To me it felt like exactly what it is: a shitty Zack Snyder movie Frankensteined into a mediocre Joss Whedon movie. The plot could not have been more by-the- numbers if they tried, and it had the least interesting villain this side of Thor 2.

This film really worked for me and I think it would be a mistake to break up this cast and not continue with these stories.

I like Batben.

Granted, I'm not of the 'Man of Steel was shit and BvS sucked' school so I may just give Snyder and the DC folks more latitude than most. But so much of Batman is being able to play Wayne and I think Affleck just kills the comic book version of Wayne.

I think he does Bruce Wayne better than any batman...ever. At least my minds eye version of Wayne. You give a tip of the cap to Keaton and Bale obviously but I thought Keaton was a little too unhinged and Bale too lovelorn.

I've read a couple of review though I haven't seen the movie. The second one I read started blasting away for things they'd have fawned over if it were a Marvel movie and I realized that this is a bullshit stacked deck.

The critics have decided that they'll get their bonafides by picking on DC at this point. It irks them to no end that these 'cheesy' superhero movies have become so popular but they can't blast away against Marvel because they'll get run over by popular opinion. But since you can't get the snobbish, effete intellectual out of the movie critic, they just vent on DC movies because they know they can get away with it.

Well, except for Suicide Squad. Man, what a piece of absolute shit that movie was.

The critics can bite it. I'm looking forward to this movie and I'll bet it's pretty good.

The movie reminded me of watching a justice league unlimited episode. I enjoyed it and I think they can do better...they may well going forward but WB needs to let DC do more and stop interfering

Typical crap comic book movie like most of the rest.

You are one of the most miserable people on this board. If you don't care about these types of movies, avoid the threads. But you don't want to do that. You want everyone to know your shit opinion on everything.

Looks as if it's happening again

The one jarring difference is the writing. DC movies just don't flow very well, certainly not as good as Marvel films, the dialogue feels awkward just for two people talking like WW and Cyborg in a street, instead of organic like it should sound. So you can't relate to their words as much as you should. It's a small thing but I think it speaks volumes. It's not Aaron Sorkin type of made up, everyone has a razor sharp wit and lightning fast comebacks, and it's not Marvel, it's just some sort of Purgatory in between.

No ****ing kidding. Their knee jerk reactions made Suicide Squad disjointed and now they've got a Justice League movie finished by 2 different directors and composers. How the **** can any movie succeed like this? BvS really ****ed Warner Brothers shit up.
