Man, the humour in Justice League was really awful

the guy mopping grates at the beginning of the movie was hilarious, the fuck u talkin bout willis
Back in Batman vs Superman, Batman asked Superman "do you bleed?". In Justice League, Superman asks Batman the same question because "you won't let me live, you won't let me die".
So it's a bit of a joke afterwards where Batman is like "yup I'm definitely bleeding".
He still has no idea what running is supposed to look like.A fucking terrible film.

I like the Bruce meets Barry intro and the bank heist but eh
Flash Lex almost always referring to himself in the third person is my favorite part of the episode.
He runs like young Forrest Gump did when he was breaking out of those leg braces.A fucking terrible film.
lol same.
"I, Lex Luthor, will now tell you about my, Lex Luthor's, plan. My Evil, evil plan. Question it at your peril! Umm..Any questions?"
'Man, Justice League really was awful'.
Fixed it for ya.
And people really want another cut of this terrible movie.
Complete nutters.

I'm really hoping he learns from the GotG2 criticism. There actually is a ton of emotion in that movie, but it's so bogged down by the constant need for a scene to end on a joke ("not ripe" being, officially, the absolute worst).
It also had the problem of too many scenes with the characters are seemingly indestructible, but I don't think we'll have that problem in a movie with the Polka-Dot Man.
She is such a bad fucking actress. Not just in this, in Wonder Woman, too. I'm constantly amazed at how no one seems to be bothered by this outside of a few memes.
I don't know...I think it's cute.
This one scene managed to have more decent characterisation and sublte fun that anything in the Snyder movies.
And a lot of the Marvel movies to be fair.
I had the experience of noting a big difference in quality from BvS theatrical release to the Ultimate Edition. WB butchered the theatrical into a nonsensical mess.
So, like it or not, the studio themselves developed this paradigm of audiences expecting to see the better movie... that existed before they made it "commercially viable."
This is practically a WB/DC tradition by now. Plenty of stories going around about Burton's third Batman with a Billie D.Williams Two Face before those movies got Schumachered; or Superman 3 featuring Brainiac as the big baddie before producers Golan and Globus made it into a supercomputer designed by Richard Pryor on a cocktail napkin.
The conflict over these movies has always been about PG-13, happy meal toys, non-realistic violence, and marketability.
MCU hit a very nice, delicate, and vigorously defended balance there. DCEU was on its way to a more serious, realistic, and adult alternative... until they abruptly shifted gears into a pale and inferior MCU imitation with theatrical Justice League.
For a lot of reasonable people, there is the expectation there was something better there before studio interference, even just based on past experience. Sadly, the movie we really wanted got arrested at the script phase. Any new cut realized will still be a Frankenstein of R-rated vision and PG-13 compromise.
...but it would be a better one of those than the one we got.
I can see whre you are coming from but it can't agree that Man of Steel and Batman vs Superman were in any way a decent, serious, adult alternative to the average Marvel movie.
For all of Marvel's flaws that do usually treat their characters with respect and have a rough understanding of how to present them on the big screen.
The Synder DC movies have none of that. They treated pretty much all the characters awfully and seemed to have little no no understanding of how to craft a story around them.
Essentially the last thing I want to see is a Snyder cut of anything. I can only imagine that the studio cuts in this case were desperately trying to make his awful movies better.
Nah, she's pretty good in Wonder Woman. And in most of JL too.
It was ok. It just didn't fit when you consider the first two movies. They have just delayed it until Snyder could finish or scrapped the movie. Nah, once WB got involved and butchered BvS there was little hope for JL.

I'll need to see just two clips of her acting well, because so far, everything I have seen of her in the DC and F&F movies are stilted performances where she seems to have trouble just saying the lines she memorized out loud. It's like she's reading a teleprompter at all times. And when she's supposed to get emotional, this happens:
This sigh has the emotional weight of one of the Olsen Twins dramatically sighing because Uncle Jesse were mean to them in an episode of Full House.
Or this great reaction to an emotional outburst of hers, where she actually pushes and attacks one of her friends. What an incredibly acted...blank stare?
Maybe she's great in Triple 9? Haven't seen that one.
I definitely agree. The emotional bits are great in it but the humor ruins every scene
Whedon is the Vince Russo of comic book films complete with conspiracy confirmed.
Maybe you have issue with her accent, but her acting is fine here too.
Honestly out of all the "super women" we got (Jennifer Lawrence, ScarJo, Brie Larson, all great actresses), she's sure the worst actress but by far the one I liked the most the performance of her character. She's incredibly charming and in her element as Wonder Woman.
😂 seriously though it wouldn't surprise me if the exec's behind the scenes at the time only notes to Whedon were "make it like marvel" and " I really liked that joke, can you use that one again."
We really need a documentary or tell all about this time period at DC. Would be fascinating.
well it's the only justice league adaptation really worth a damn.
The first scene he outlines was in early trailers and was seen before Whedon got involved so I don't think you can blame him for that. If the humour was like it is in the Avengers films he made then I'd agree with this sentiment but it's much, much worse.
You mean you did NOT like Aquaman surfing through buildings? Or are you talking about the intentional humor?
To me, the best analog for my response to Justice League as it was released... was the prevailing response other people had to Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines after the dark tones of Terminator 1 and 2: they found the humor weird and forced, they didn't like the shift in tone from the two movies that had come before them, they didn't like the way characters they had come to know were suddenly portrayed in different ways, and they didn't like the way the new movie retconned away plot threads from the previous one about how the future was going to turn out in the storyline.
It's almost weird how completely they line up: the boob-plant in Justice League is almost analogous to the crotch-grab in T3, in cringe-factor. Now, the Terminator films are a lot more unquestionably apropos for a grimdark treatment. But I'm in my late 40's, and I've been with DC heroes ever since old-and-cheesy TV Batman, and through so much cheesiness in both movie Superman and movie Batman. WB had so much success with the Nolan trilogy "realistic tone" Batman, I don't blame them for persisting in that direction. I was down for the darker treatments of both Man of Steel and Batman V Superman.
And I perceive it is mostly people who liked what the MCU was doing that hated what DCEU was doing via Snyder. But that doesn't mean aping the connected-universe innovator studio made for a better project or result. It made, for us Snyder DCEU fans, a weird, left-turn unwelcome retcon, much like Terminator 3.
I get that you don't agree, but I appreciate you trying to perceive my viewpoint, and accept the difference of opinion.
God.., I completely forgot about the JL movie and thought OP was talking about the Bruce Timm series
