Justice League |OT|You Can't Save The DCEU Alone (Unmarked Spoilers)
- Thread starter Quick
- Start date
Thu/Fri/Sat + projected Sun totals are up tomorrow
Might not be enough time for WOM if it bombs Saturday
Next week is a whole different kettle of fish.
If Coco is legit who knows how that plays out.
Disney have not marketed it at all.
Coco will slaughter Justice League worldwide this upcoming weekend.
The only legs we will see in the upcoming weeks will be Coco's.
Yeah, it's a Pixar movie, it'll destroy JL. Too bad I get to see it few months later. Looks really good.
I'm really interested in that Day of the Dead style, but if it's too kiddy I can skip it.
Waiting on the reviews
Alright, im back from the movie, and here are my barely coherent thoughts :
This movie is a mess.
But I DUG it .
But objectively, its one of the most slopy major releases I remember . And I will lie if i say I didnt smile like a kid through most of it . Smarter folks then me have dissected the movie in this thread already, so I will skip to the bottom line :
For all its fault, it was a great showcase for the different characters, and it would be a shame if WB , in their familiar reactionary panic, would wipe the slate clean .

Justice League is a deeply disappointing movie even with low expectations going in.
Out of all the things in the movie...I only really liked the character interactions between the characters and that was mainly some of the comedic elements. Of them all the Flash was the most consistently entertaining character though the trailers already revealed some of his better moments. Aquaman had one great moment when he started talking about his feelings...probably my favorite moment of the entire film. The Martha-Lois interaction was decent along with the one Bruce + Alfred moment when they are talking about Superman. Everything else switched between bad and mediocre. The worst offender was Bruce and Aquaman...their early interactions nearly made me cringe from just how terrible they were.
The new characters to the DC film franchise were...rushed perhaps a bit too much. Aquaman is perhaps the best example of this. His backstory was far too rushed. Just a few minutes of something that deserved to be fleshed out a fair bit more. As it is I could barely care about him as a character. Flash's history and character was done better but even then it could have done with a bit more fleshing out. Same for Cyborg. In short, DC should have given these characters their own films before putting them in Justice League.
Now lets talk about the action...the one thing that I had hoped would be worth the price of admission. It wasn't. Not by a long shot. I did like some of the scenes such as Superman beating down the rest of the League when he first shows up. Get rekt Batman. The Amazons attempting to keep the Mother Box out of Steppenwolf's hands was perhaps the single best piece of action in the entire film. There was a "weight" to that action that nothing else really matches in the film. The Amazons had a clear goal in keeping the Mother Box away from Steppenwolf and they struggled to do so. Seeing them struggle added a tension that kept in hooked for that entire duration of the action. The final battle between the League and Steppenwolf? Whatever tension there might have been disappeared the moment Superman showed up and started smacking around Steppenwolf as if he was an unruly brat. -_-
Steppenwolf...DC at least you aren't alone in having horrible comic book villains. Try harder next time.
Score: 2/5.

How did Steppenwolf get the last box? When they show him tubing into the Kryptonian ship, the camera cut to the box lying on top of a police car or something, next to the league. How did he get the box in the ship if it wasn't there?
I pretty much HATE every Snyder movie since the Dawn remake, but as a comic fanboy once more I went to watch Justice League. Yes, the movie is a mess, Steppenwolf is terrible. The cgi and the Super mustache are a joke.
Said that. I kind of loved the movie.
They nailed the characters. Wonder (even with the sexualized camera work) is still a joy to watch. Flash was a blast. Drunk Uncle Aquaman was fun, even being kind of just there. Didn't care about Cyborg, but the movie didn't cared either. And Super was Super for the first time in years. It was not a great movie, hell, it was barely a good movie, but it was a blast.
The first time I genuine enjoyed watching a Snyder Movie

It was the empty container from the lab not the cube itself .
In no world even 666 of them this is any better than any of those movies you listed even Age of Ultron is much more solid and coherent movie.
They constantly making fun videos of wow all same movies and shit but all they review are those movies. They didnt even review Dunkirk
lol
Just got home from watching this. Honestly, I thought it was fun.
The beginning had the weird pacing, as it seems so many DC movies have now, but over all, I enjoyed the movie.
It's better than BvS IMO.

I don't know if my expectations were just super low or something but I didn't hate it?
LOL at Batman's face when Superman shows up
Favorite moments: Clark giving Barry the stink eye, and Aquaman sitting on the lasso of truth
There were definitely some unnecessary ass shots of Diana and her shirt choices are questionable

Movie was off to a bad start from the beginning, a trademark of these bad zack snyder films are the scene transitions, when you're jumping all over the place with no real cohesion its bad.
Also Superman is way OP, dude made Steppen Wolf his bitch without breaking a sweat. Same dude that got handled by Doomsday

Obviously, Superman has to kiss everyone that think Clark is dead so they can forget everything.
Okay, so top DCU movie list time!
1.) Wonder Woman (Obviously)
2.) Justice League
3.) Man of Steel
4.) Suicide Squad
5.) Batman vs. Superman

Elfman's better work in years.
Though that says more about the crap he's put out the past decade than it does the score itself.
WW>>>>>>>>>>>>>>JL>>>>>>MoS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>genital mutilation>SS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>BvS
I don't see why he'd know about that until Clark is back to reconnect him with his mum.
For those asking whether we'll get a sequel...
Luthor, Deathstroke and I'd guess Reverse Flash, Joker, Black Manta and Circe vs The Justice League is a damn good hook for a film.

The beginning was strange. I didn't mind the film though. I didn't wanna go but my son really wanted to see it and it wasnt the disaster I was dreading.
1.) Justice League 3/5
2.) Wonder Woman 2/5
3.)
4.)
10.) Batman vs. Superman, Suicide Squad, Man of Steel 1/5
I'm more disappointed they didn't make a video about War for the Planet of the Apes when they both said good things about Rise and Dawn.
If I hadn't known about the mustache thing before I would never have noticed but since I knew about it I couldn't help but stare at his upper lip
Yeah I don't care man
I had fun
There were some cringe moments, and questionable choices
but overall still fun
Yes the movie was hella rushed, and that extended cut better add in all 45 missing minutes or whatever.
Being a Superman fan, I felt great watching Superman handily kick everyone's asses even in his confused state, even having Batman nearly turned to dust in his own hands... but I was slightly cringing at the same time because... I was afraid they were going to make him evil again
Luckily not, but the turn from THAT Superman to the one who saved the day at the end with Steppenwolf was quite jarring

saw it last night, I went in with low expectations and thought it wasn't as bad as I expected. Story is a mess but it's fun, and most importantly after BvS it's not pretentious, thinking it's carrying some amazing message or being deep with it's story when in actual fact it's not. It's just straightforward.
Summed up most of my feelings on the movie. I ejoyed nuggets of it and I didn't hate myself like I did sitting through BvS but fundamentally its still a poor movie.
Yes, that was one of my complaints before watching the movie but seeing that fixed that. I also think that Cyborg had some cool character moments. The one with his father and with the Flash.
This is all subjective. I found Age of Ultron to be so boring I dozed off a little bit and haven't watched it again.
Definitely in the "Eh, it was alright" camp, certainly liked it more than MoS or BvS.
Plenty of moments that I liked, the characters worked more often than they didn't, but it was all just so hollow.
I had major problems with how they handled the Fourth World stuff, even beyond Steppenwolf just being terrible, like how the Mother Boxes were turned into doomsday weapons for no real reason or the way everything was bland-ified into generic "evilness" instead of the wonderful weirdness that the Fourth World is full of.
And the Boom Tubes. My gods, why did they turn the Boom Tubes into, I don't know, "Zip Beams"? I got more and more annoyed every time they happened.

COCO >>> Inside Out
Though i might be a bit biased, but its super fun
From the sounds of things, there's a low chance for an extended version. Maybe the deleted/alternate scenes make their way to the home release.
Wasn't a fan of the boom tubes here. Yeah. Both how they're portrayed as a vertical beam and the vagueness of how they work.

1) Wonder Woman
2) Justice League
3) Man of Steel
4) Batman vs Superman
5) A big shit
6) Batman vs Harley Quin
7) Suicide Squad
Man that wasn't half bad at all. Certainly not great but I liked it much more than Man of Steel or BvS. Still a tier or two below Wonder Woman though. My main problem is that it felt like the story was moving REALLY fast, there really isn't a lot to it, and the CGI was spotty in places. CGI Cavil looked kind of weird but not nearly as bad as I feared. Action was solid. I even liked Steppenwolf. He's shallow as all fuck but not anymore so than your typical Marvel villain. Characters are pretty decent too if paper thin. This is honestly the first time I've actually LIKED Cavil's Superman. Gal was good as Wonder Woman. Ezra Miller completely won me over as Flash. Affleck is still good as Batman. Momoa was good as Aquaman. I thought I'd wind up hating Cyborg but I really liked him as well. I know Aquaman and Flash are supposed to be getting solo movies but I'd definitely watch a Cyborg solo.
More than anything Justice League actually instilled a belief that the DC Cinematic Universe is actually salvageable. They just need better directors and better writers. Actors are all solid in my opinion. JL at least allows them to start fresh with more solo movies and have a proper build up to JL2 should they decide to move forward.

That shit was nuts. BvS made it seem like WW was on par with Superman strength wise but that certainly wasn't the case here.
Diana can stand up to Clark, he's just faster. Right now he flies faster than Flash can run. That's hilarious.
If they had Evil Superman I would've definitely had Wondy fight him one on one, without the stupid sword.

then she unlocks God Mode by taking off her bracelets
I'm pretty sure he's stronger than her, but has the same speed as flash.
