Justice League RT -> 41% <- Affleck's second best superhero movie!
- Thread starter Pacote
- Start date
The RT score is not worthless. It is a percentage of critics who liked/disliked a movie. If a movie has a high RT, then it's at least recognised as a well made movie. Whether an individual likes/dislikes a movie comes down to personal preference. There are plenty of low RT movies that I like (Godzilla 1998, Armageddon, all 5 Transformers movies), but I also know these are poor movies.
i didn't know the story and something was definitely off with sup's face. Wouldn't have probably guessed cg's out mustaches, but his face definitely looked wrong and modified in multiple occasions.
The person sitting behind me, within 5 seconds of the movie starting (you know the first scene) said "what's wrong with his mouth"?.
Made me chuckle as it's the first think I looked for haha.
Fanboys LOVE it, critics not so much, people outside the Marvel/DC fanboy lunacy are not digging it or think it's just average and a bit funny mess.
I wouldn't say it's recognized as a well made movie, but recognized as a movie with broad appeal
What a random youtube-personality in a leather jacket says, isn't really saying much about if the reviews are all over the place or not.
Why, are his reviews less worthy than the reviewers you use?
And what's up with the leather jacket comment?
Watched the movie last night.
I really like man of steel, i will defend that movie when i can.
Batman vs superman was a weird mix of awesome moments (mostly batman scenes) and a lot of terrible moments (MARTHA).
Justice league was weird though. It didn't have the awful moments, but it didn't have any great moments either. It just felt mediocre the entire way through.

He didn't like BvS though, and he loved GOTG2 and Thor 3, so don't act like he has any DC bias.
I'm glad he liked JL. It gives me confidence that Superman was portrayed properly and that his character arc was handled well. :)
Just got out of seeing it. Free tickets thanks to Midas mechanic (yay) but I quite liked it. Was pretty funny, Aquaman was ace (edit: he is in fact not Aussie so correction to prior statement) though Flash and Cyborg definitely stole the movie for me, those guys are gonna be bros.
Supes face is fucked though. Seriously I found it instantly but even my girlfriend saw it straight away and knew as I turned to comment what I was gonna say. What was going on there? Just bad CGI? That doesn't make much sense though because everyone else was on point especially Flash and he was probably the most CGI heavy. Almost L.A. Noire worthy really.
Story was good, actually liked who they used and what they built on. Action was top notch, I felt a bit more umph with the action compared to Thor but that could be just down to how panned out Thor went on shots of the action. Diane is ace at Wonder Woman, as in seriously fucking good that she pretty much should be the comic book character.
Overall pretty happy. Keen to see where they go, I could definitely feel where Synder stepped down and Whedon stepped in. I honestly would prefer Snyder to move on, not just because in capable hands this could be better despite the overall movie being good but I really think he needs some space to do his own thing. Get back to 300 or something.
But yeah. This is just some random guy on the internet's comments. I liked it, was good and I mean if you are bored or umming on it you may as well go and see it. Could be worse, you could have Supe's face.
Oh also, when the copies come out we need Flash's "oh wow that's rude bye" as a gif for this place. The usability on that gif would be endless.

Ignore me. For some reason I thought he was Australian...I actually now am super confused as to who I even thought.
I think Snyder could do a fine job with a Justice League: Flashpoint film. That's a grim universe where he can do pretty much whatever he wants with the twisted versions of the DC heroes, save for the Flash.
He can have Batman dual-wielding pistols, Wonder Woman beheading people with her sword, Aquaman goring people with his trident. He could try to do a big, epic movie, play with all of the toys, and not damage continuity. Then he can cap the film off by reseting it for a new DCEU direction.

Well,
I've defended Moss as a mostly good movie with problems. I've defended BvS as an ambitious failure.
This is about as bad as Suicide Squad and the only saving Grace is Flash.
I'm a massive DC fanboy and I wanted to love it. Then I wanted to just like it. It's an unwatchable mess and up there with Green Lantern and Suicide Squad as the worst DC films not called Catwoman.
Even Batman and Robin was intentionally shitty.
This is a disjointed mess and I swear to God they totally rewrote the story around set pieces they had already filmed. It felt all over the place, out of order at spots and the unfunny jokes that were clearly interspersed after the fact mostly fell flat and tonally ruined whatever train wreck the scene was going for.
I would rather have seen whatever kind of edgelord bullshit Snyder had intended to make than this. Wow.
Also, I wanted to see how they would integrate the 4th world stuff and holy shit they just ignored and butchered it. Like, why go with the New Gods stuff if you are going to fully ignore what makes it special.
Just a total fucking fail of a movie that had no vision and it's clear at least one of its stars and probably both of it's directors didn't want to make this movie.

I heard they blurred out his mustache by rubbing Vaseline on the lens in just that area, like how they took the wheels off the speeder in Star Wars. I'm impressed honestly. The more practical effects the better.
To their credit, all the actors in JL did very well. They just need to get out of that Snyders backyard.
Affleck probably need to go too, he seems like he isn't in it anymore.
Most people I know go "Is that Henry Cavill? He looks different now/he looks skinnier" or something to that effect. Including me who didn't know the mustache removal story but recognized it was altered for some reason.
By reading what people think of the movie.
I tell you a secret. I work in the press. I do this kind of stuff as my work. I need to follow social media, forums etc. for news.
With George Miller suing Warner Bros., is there any chance he might work with them after? I really wanted him to do a Superman movie. But I don't think it'll ever happen. :/
We all wanted Mad Max 5, not DCEU movie. I guess he's done with Warner.
And what do you think of the movie's audience score on RT?
Overly inflated from fanboys? BvS was the same way. And we all know the general audience did not like BvS.
It's mostly a fanboy score. Every fanboy movie gets screwed that way. You cannot trust the audience score. That's why IMDb is screwed as well. Too many bots, fanboys, trolls and shills giving movies 10/10 or 1/10. You can see it really clearly sometimes when even the press haven't seen a movie yet and it already has thousands of audience reviews and the score is like 9/10. It's FUBAR.
It normalizes a bit in the end, but it's still higher than it should be. And this is not a DC movie issue per se. Be it Playstation or Xbox exclusive game, Marvel, DC, Star Wars or Harry Potter movie or any other fanboy franchise and it'll get the same machinated score. I always go with the critic consensus if I watch some old movie I haven't seen. Fanboys can't be trusted.
Very much this. Like I said: fanboys love it, critics dislike and non-fanboy audience thinks it's funny mess that's bad to mediocre. 5/10 is perfect. I gave the movie 3/5 because I was entertained.
What? I just told that I never check the audience score because it's most likely screwed. It's the same reason why I use IMDb as an information only site. I only use critic score from RT and sometimes I check metascore as well.
it might soon become rather difficult to tell him apart from whoever is playing Luther then
Nah. I was just laughing that the audience score should be trusted but not the critic score.
You are putting the blame on Snyder for a Whedon scene and choice.
Damn life hasn't been fair to Zack Snyder.
The first 45 minutes was really, truly terrible. The piecing together of the team was all over the place, and generally way too brief. But! After that, it seemed to settle in a bit and was actually pretty good for me. Better than I expected.
I'm really digging Cavill as Superman and Gadot as Wonder Woman. I really hope we get a MoS2 without Snyder. Aquaman and Flash need more room to breath, so hopefully they get their own movies to flesh out the characters. Cyborg's motivation was done really poorly, he was just kinda there.

So when you say "by reading what people think of the movie", you meant critics? Ok then...
Yeps. If I listened to critics, I would believe that Ghostbusters 2016 is a good movie.
So where are you getting the non-fanboy audience's thoughts from? You said social media. Twitter?
