Hot Toys 1:6 Justice League Figure Speculation

[spindrift]

I don't give a flippin s*** about RT- anyone who does I have no comment on

Meanwhile if you go to the JL movie thread the same old losers continue to shout about how bad JL is etc etc. They are feeding off each other and are eating each other up- sad bunch

At this point, with the reviews and film reviewing blog sites I'm just not giving a **** towards them now. I see DC as a hot property to get click bait articles that people will flock to - every little utterance of Ben Affleck, click bait, linking to all their previous click bait articles, every single thing jared Leto does, click bait article, especially on Io9 with that crap editor that has just left who had a raging hard on at talking crap about him, linking her own click-bait articles to unrelated topics of him. Just every article is so click-baity and negative and full of hatred towards the property, it's an easy target. Even before Wonder Woman was out, every little fasle rumour and fake report of it being a huge mess, for months, click-bait.

So many articles now reporting on the revenue for the film, click-baity. "It has only made this much on Saturday, it will be dissappointing come sunday... oh actually it's made close to what was expected now but considering what it could have been is still a failure" type reports. Reports of the film being a mixed bag, suddenly equate to being bad reviews etc.

Nothing will work as this property is now too ladened down with unreachable expectations, and a critiquing eye that other super hero films aren't on level with. And it pisses me off because Affleck is great, and his Batman was freaking interesting, to see him at the end of his ropes towards the end of his tenure as Batman. I wanted to see the history that led to that. I didn't want another Batman film which is hur dur Batman doesn't kill, or so this, or do that.

It's a shame.

Still yet to see Justice League, but I enjoyed Batman Vs Superman, and although it had its shortcomings I think it did more good than bad and at least attempted something we hadn't seen before with the characters.

You'll like it but your comments are spot-on. Just a load of internet trash actions

It's similar to Star Wars: nobody hates Star Wars more than the most die hard of Star Wars fans.

We can continue our civil conversation here- not bothering to go over to the movie thread and lower myself to a bunch of sniveling whiners

As I've mentioned before, I ventured into that section once to actually have a discussion about AoU, I think it was. Quickly found out that the vibe there is if you're not here to be in a 24/7 perpetual rage about how utterly ****** the film was and how it's ruined your life, then gtfo.

So I gladly gtfo and never went back.

Yep you summed it up- those "know it alls" tell you what to like or hate and if not...don't bother.

I think people just get confused that there are different levels to how you feel for something - seems most people are either adamant that they can only love or hate something, or, if they're a little bit deeper, really love or really hate something. For example, BvS, even though I really enjoyed it and was interested and happy on the different take of characters, can understand why some people would dislike certain aspects of the film. However, to completely hate it, as so many people seemingly do is to say there was nothing they enjoyed in the film, which, to be honest is probably true as they're not being impartial or true, but rather because they want to hate or dislike the story/alternative characters they mis-attach these feelings to hating everything about it.

Now Catwoman is a film you can hate, poor acting, poor story, poor cg, poor action, poor editing, nothing going for it. These films at least have, for those that hate it, great cinematography, great shots harkening to their comics, great and new action, good world building etc. And if people don't even acknowledge the cinematography, well, then its obvious their gauging of interest in a film is a very basic black and white simpleton view of I can only love or hate thing.

I understand that- but there is no reasonable discussions going on for the most part- just cutesy gifs and photoshop ..oh i'm sooo impressed (not!)

Bang on dude, bang on. It’s all for the clicks and bad news /drama always drives it.

You know what’s funny.. I was reading a George Bernard Shaw play a little while ago (forget which one and for no particular reason) and in the foreword he was talking about how with all the print newspapers and banners / posters in the day how they were appealing to the lowest common denominator with headlines to get a rise out of people. He was also complaining about how ads are appearing everywhere, all over the streets, and wondering what the future holds. That was in the early 1900s

I was reading that and just thinking I’m sure every generation feels the same way - that they’ve hit the lowest, baitiest point, but nope there’s more and it goes on and evolves lol

I wonder if there is an element of following the crowd. When those twitter reactions came out on Monday pretty much everyone who saw it agreed with them that it was good but a few flaws. Then those really savage critic reviews came out and a lot more people are hating on it. I feel a lot went it looking for the bad stuff, mustache, CGI etc.

Critics hated MoS and BvS but they had almost a cult following. JL comes out and critics still hate it but they also alienated some who loved previous DCEU movies it seems. Makes me think they should have delayed the movie to next summer to allow Zack to finish it his way, work out the CGI issues and wait until Henry could shave.

 

[Ppk487]

I’m surprised Hot Toys haven’t revealed at least everyone but superman at this rate.

 

[Chuck72586]

I don't even feel like the reviews were all that hard on JL. Many seemed to admit it will likely be a crowd pleaser, and thought it was better then previous efforts like BvS or Suicide Squad. It's just there were still a lot of flaws they could talk about, too.

But they still rated it rotten while other movies with similar issues they rate fresh. It's pleasing the crowds that go but the box office is looking terrible right now, less than 300m world wide. It might make less than SS at this rate.

I think a lot of people who didn't like BvS decided they'd only see the movie if it got decent reviews. Once they saw that rotten rating it was over.

 

[SilverStar17]

Yep, it's a matter of consistency to me. If you're be going to let the face mask and the block in the back slide for one team, don't then call it on the other team.

It's like they're constantly moving the goal posts when it comes to how they criticize the MCU (or rather how they don't) and the DCEU.

 

[Johnny1378]

It’s amazing to me how much we let the tomatometer tell us what to watch. And I’ll admit, I’m guilty of it to to an extent. I can’t tell you how many times I clicked on Flixter over the last few days, hoping to see the percentage on Justice League go up. But when I finally just stopped dwelling on it, and just went to the theater and watched for myself, I really had a good time. I wish we could all take it easy a little with these expectations that every film has to be a transcendent experience, and be okay with some films just being a good time at the movies.

 

[SilverStar17]

That's what I do. I thought JL was better than Ragnarok myself, but at the end of the day, I enjoyed my movie going experience with both of them and enjoyed both films.

 

[Chuck72586]

As a crowd pleaser, I think JL works. As a quality film, I think it leaves much to be desired, and that's where the low RT score comes in.

 

[sj2106]

RT tomatoes doesn't effect my enjoyment of a movie. It does frustrate me that a 2nd rate Marvel character is getting more love than the Justice League though.
