I still can’t believe they haven’t lifted the review embargo.
I’m expecting they will by next Monday or else that movie is in big trouble.
So people waiting on reviews? Lol
Im just using logic here. Some territories get to see the movie on the 15th. So no review yet. 2:50am on the 16th your just HOPING no one sees it lol. Seriously. Wtf. Or maybe they are banking this movie makes 700 mil ww in its first weekend
I'm going to read through RT before I go just for the lulz
After the critical and commercial success of Wonder Woman, Warner Bros. is hoping to have another hit on their hands in the form of Justice League. The mega superhero film will release this November — yet despite the film's premiere being mere weeks away, the review embargo is still in place. This long embargo may bode ill for the film, but if the Wall Street Journal is to be believed Justice League's screening score was quite close to that of Wonder Woman.
Although the film was dubbed a "crowd pleaser" there was one aspect Wall Street Journal's Ben Fritz had a problem with, and that was Stepphenwolf. In a now deleted tweet, Fritz wrote:
"I don't do reviews but I will say this after seeing "Justice League": Ezra Miller's Flash really is a standout. Steppenwolf is not."
While the Flash's role being positively received is certainly a good thing for DC (especially since the fate of Flash's solo film rests on the success of Justice League), the negative reaction to Steppenwolf is something that could end up hurting DC in terms of reviews. Although at first audiences took to CGI villains in superhero movies, critics have always had a dislike for computer-generated baddies — and now, even casual fans are complaining about the superhero genre's reliance on CGI. If Steppenwolf's character is disappointing to critics, this may end up hurting the film's reception among both film journalists and wider audiences.
Yet, for quite some time both Marvel and #DC have struggled with making their villains believable, and a weak villain doesn't necessarily mean that the film will fail at the box office — superhero movies continue to have major box office pull, despite featuring a poor antagonist.
Reviewers need to get over their dislike of CGI villains
