JUSTICE LEAGUE (Finally) Passes The $100 Million Mark At The Domestic Box Office
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.com...office-a155593


After mulling it over, I gotta say WB has made a big mistake by allowing Josh Whedon (or what's his name is) to take over Zack Snyder's work. They should've waited for him to come back and finish what he started. Now the 2 separate visions clashed resulting a convoluted film.

This YouTuber review speaks about the problems in the film.



I'm still liking it but I also see its flaws. Hope there's Director's Cut for the blu ray preferably Zack Snyder edition only. Batman v Superman (Ultimate Edition) is vastly superior compared to this mess tbh.

This thing is farrrrr from Joss's involvement into WB's largest mistake.

Assuming you can half-ass a team up movie with iterations of characters that were built on a shaky foundation of devise films while ALSO reworking and re shooting the film for millions of dollars because you're afraid to lose your precious release date as opposed to making a great film .... that's where WB messed up.

If anything, had people not completely rejected this film ... Whedon's involvement may have been the saving grace considering how much hatred still stems from BvS.

Justice League was an amazing movie. Rotten Tomatoes and Snobby Critics are FAKE NEWS.Go see the movie for yourself.

I don't care much if they reboot everything after this.

However, it would be a real waste if we never got to see what got cut. Love him or hate him, Snyder is still an auteur who at least attempts to challenge his audience.

As for the degree to which he succeeds, well...

I wouldn't say "vastly". It's still a mess regardless.

I did, I had a good time, but I agree with the critics.

One day film historians will be writing books about all the behind the scenes turmoil at WB in regards to these cape flicks.

Exactly!

I'm not sure why fans are clamoring for a Snyder cut anyway because it's not like he had full control on this thing right from the get go. They started production almost immediately when the horrible reviews and fan reaction to BvS was happening so this thing was becoming way more of a film by committee each and every day. If anything, he was just filming what the studio was mandating, so even if he had never left the project ... it still wouldn't have been a full Snyder movie.

I get it that some fans like his style of movies, but ultimately his vision for this universe for these characters was rejected. People ultimately saw Justice League as the sequel to that Batman and Superman movie everyone hated last year and decided not to show up the second time around. Similar thing happened with last year's TMNT: Out of the Shadows ... people got burned on a crappy first movie, so they stayed home.

Huh? Wait, I'm agreeing with you on that sentiment. Good lord, I hope you don't think I'm defending OOTS as a good movie.

Both movies were hot garbage ... but people also clearly didn't want to check out the second one because they got sick from the heap of crap that was the first film.

Saw it this week.

...

It bored me. Not enough Superman or Lois, not enough Batman, not enough Wonder Woman, not enough Aquaman.

Steppenwolf was boring and CGI. Autistic Flash was a nightmare, worst part of the movie for me.

Cyborg was just kinda... there. He was a'ight.

The Bat-wallcrawler-tank thing was ridiculous. The movie just felt so rote. Generic. If DC/WB wants to be late to the game, they need to bring new and unique things, for better or for worse.

I blame this on Joss Whedon. Wonder what Snyder's original take on the movie would've been... for better or worse, I'm sure I wouldn't have been bored by it.

There has to be more in Snyder's cut there, right? It can't just exist for Batman to shoot 5 Parademons in a tunnel.

Looks like the film is bombing hard.

Kind of sad, since from what I've seen, the film looks pretty enjoyable and the main cast has grown on me (especially Superman and Wonder Woman).
