Sounds like it's basically Marvel's The Avengers, just DC flavored.

Banter, humor, forgettable villain leading an invasion at the behest of an off-screen big bad, assemble the thingamabobs, disposable CGI cannon fodder army, save the world. Could be a lot worse.

I thought Loki was a rare Marvel villain that wasn't forgettable.

So overdone now, though. Between Thor, Avengers, Thor 2, and now Thor 3 he just keeps having the same arc over and over again. I'm pretty sure it'll be more of the same in Avengers 3 and/or 4.

Only because they keep using him.

This whole RT score is so retarded that we need a countdown and it "leaks". Jeeze, speaks a lot about the current state of geek culture.

Only because people are dealing with poor DC movies. Had they all been good we wouldn't have this situation.

We didn't have to deal with this when the Nolan Batman trilogy came out, or Wonder Woman.

Because there's not much to say about it unless you really are a film music buff. There's not much Williams/classic Elfman in it at all.

My attempts at spoiler avoidance while still looking at news about the film led me to this article.

Justice League Amazon Actors Defend Costumes

Spoiler:
Quote:
Samantha Jo, a martial artist who stars as the Amazon Euboea in Wonder Woman and Justice League, also commented how Snyder and Wilkinson made her feel confident and comfortable on set. Here is what she said:
“I think it’s important to remember that the fighting style of the Amazons is quite different than that of a Knight, a Samurai, a Kryptonian, etc. We’ve been able to see that the Amazonian fighting is a little more acrobatic and larger than life requiring armor that allows for that kind of articulation in the body. I was overjoyed with the mobility I had and NEEDED to complete the moves asked of me.”
While the status quo tends to lean towards women shouldn’t have to be sexualized in order to portray strong female role models on screen, the positive comments the actresses who play the Amazons are making about the costumes shows that it’s okay for women to feel strong and confident – even if the outfit is revealing – if they feel comfortable wearing the costume and that there’s nothing wrong with confident women showing some skin if they want to.

If anything, telling an actress, who feels confident in her body, that showing it off is a “step back” is a step back in itself.

Someone who saw the movie compiled a list of every scene cut from the finished product that we've seen in trailers and tv spots

Can't watch at the moment, but it's funny...

I've seen some video-reviewer's claim that the trailers are a complete misdirect and we are in for a huge surprise, plot-wise.

I've also heard the exact opposite in the last 24 hours, phrased as "if you've seen the trailers, you've basically seen the film".

How could the latter be possible in this scenario though?

She basically gave the "skimpiness equals mobility" agruement that sweaty creepers use to defend chainmail bikinis which falls flat when people can do somersaults and extensive acrobatics in a full plate armor

Here's Hercules at AICN's review of it:
http://www.aintitcool.com/node/78950

Is it also worth pointing out that when Harry Knowles' sexual assault allegation broke out, Hercules was the only one of the old staffers who didn't immediately quit? Maybe there's something there and maybe there's nothing.

Looking forward to seeing a "Justice League"/"Half in the Bag episode #135" double feature this weekend.

Well, in his defense, he was called in for reshoots, not rewriting/refilming the whole damn film.

And compared to Lex Luthor, General Zod, Doomsday, Ares, and... wait, no. Is Steppenwolf worse than Enchantress as a villain? Because Suicide Squad didn't fare so well in the third act either.
