There's really no apologizing the way out of it. It's a stinker on almost every level. Even levels that I thought would be awesome, like musically.

Honestly, even the music dragged it down as I couldn’t take any of Elfman’s music cues at face value cause they just made the film seem so dated. I don’t know, it’s hard to explain ... Plus, those covers were terrible. |

Yeah, the whole "Come Together Right Now" was pretty annoying. It felt more like it was the studio demanding that of their FAKE Justice League than a song. WB to JL: "Come together RIGHT NOW! Not after any solo movies!!"

How much longer do you guys think they'll continue this universe?

Aquaman and WW2 will definitely continue it. The real test will be what final form Matt Reeve's "The Batman" will take. If it truly is "Young Batman, new actor, we're not worried about anything in the other movies" then... that doesn't bode well for anything else.

And Civil War was an Entire waste of a Movie plot wise it literally went from the avengers being held accountable to Tony Stark wanting vengeance for his parents. Civil War was worse than this movie any many aspects and was also suppose to be this epic event, but fell flat, but did not receive near the criticism that Justice League has gotten. Thats what really got me scratching my head his the double standard I am seeing with the comic book community

Justice League didn't need solo films set up before, everyone knows who Batman and Superman are and the others can be introduced in the movie, it worked for the cartoon and it would work in a film.
The problem is WB had no idea what they wanted for the universe, a "Young" DCU? A "mature" DCU? We have an older Batman when Superman has only begun operating, they adapt death of superman and dark knight returns before they "begin" the universe. They should've just gone all out with "yeah we know you're tired of origin movies and we're going right down to the good stuff". Inconsistency everywhere trying to catch up to Marvel by changing their plans when something didn't hit as they wanted instead of doing their own thing was their Achilles heel. Quote:
I'm guessing solo movies that don't hint to a larger DCEU, Aquaman bombing would jeopardize any non-batman/wonder woman projects. If Flashpoint gets made they might use it to "soft"reboot the DCEU and make all the same mistakes again. |

Maybe Grim and gritty wasn't entirely all snyders vision. Seems WB wants to go that way too. Although I'd much rather see a lighter justice leauge personally. I'm tired of grim and gritty. |

As with Wonder Woman, Lebanon has banned JL due to Gadot's past with the Israeli military

Who'd have thought a Justice League movie would be such a debacle... goes to show, it's not Zach Snyder's fault, it's Warner Brothers' fault.

I just read that the studio wanted to fire Snyder after BvS wasn't received well but they decided that preproduction was already too far along, coupled with a deal of some kind that would've prevented some executives from getting bonuses if he'd been fired. Hot ass mess
Edit: yup, that was it Cylons

The weird thing for me is that I don't see WB making these huge missteps and screw-ups on other franchises, just the DCEU... like, the Harry Potter franchise and the Tolkien franchise both seemed to do just fine.

As far as Lord of the Rings goes, it is a pretty good film series and actually improves upon some of the story's pacing, in my opinion (except for the very end of The Return of the King, which dragged on a bit). The Hobbit films though, those suck. A lot. A whooole lot. I think they would have fared better if they hadn't tried to mimic the same High Fantasy tone as the main LOTR series, and not milked it into three separate, two-plus hour films. The original idea I heard about, adapting the Hobbit book into one film and then doing another film to connect it to the LOTR films sounded a lot better on paper, but "everything must be a trilogy" seems to be the prevailing thought among studio execs these days. Oh well
