Marvel's Thor: Ragnorak is amazing but DC's Justice League is not. A great number of these "reviewers" receive compensation for raving about Marvel and blasting DC. It's become an ugly business and no one should trust them. I don't even bother reading reviews or Rotten Tomatoes because "Aggregate Websites" will take a line from a review, then use it as their own lead line to bash a film. And I'm sorry, 99.9999% of Chiefsplanet members aren't movie critics. Just because you don't like a movie doesn't mean it wasn't well made. I read this shit on Facebook by dozens of friends that said "La La Land" was overrated and how "critics" are stupid. La La Land and Marvel/DC films have absolutely zero in common with each other, other than the fact that they're both fictional tales shown on the same medium. Go see a movie. Enjoy or don't enjoy it. But don't let some butt****ing moron that you don't even know decide whether or not a movie is "good" or "bad". |

Dane,
I agree. I avoid reviews completely before seeing a film, especially DC movies. They torched Batman vs Superman but I really enjoyed it. I usually read reviews afterward to see what whether they agree or not with my thoughts on the film. |

What's going on with Affleck? It would be a damn shame if he left.

The internet and particularly social media has turned the public into a herd. It's just as visible in video game discussion. And I believe at least some of these 'open and honest conversations' are carefully constructed narratives. In the end people let their minds be made up for them long before they experience anything for themselves.
What the net IS good for is breaking down movies and games. In terms of finding Easter eggs, understanding references and connections, etc. But value judgements? No thanks. It's all marketing, either for or against. |

BTW, Gadot still isn't believable as WW, but Miller did surprisingly good job as the Flash.

People actually read movie reviews? I don't think I ever have. If it looks good....I'll go see it. If it doesn't....then I'll probably wait until it hits Redbox and then maybe give it a shot.

Using critics is a pretty easy, efficient, and sensible, way to decide how to spend your movie dollars. Find a group of critics whose opinions generally line up with yours. Stick with them until you see consistent divergence. And, apparently, you need to avoid listening to CP's comics fanboys about DCU movies. |

Well, it certainly wasn't a great movie but it was entertaining.
Spoiler!
Anyway, I'm excited to see where things go. Assuming they don't blow it all up, the next JL film could be the Legion of Doom or Darkseid himself. I'm down for either one. Last edited by ThaVirus; 11-20-2017 at 10:29 PM.. |
