Awwwww Yea!

 

[jye4ever]

I want this flaming chaos gravy train to keep going as far as it can

Please invite more people i dont want a reboot yet. I want the DC chaos to continue

Definately post of the day for me lol

 

[jnmx2000]

Get ready for the rest of DCU being directed by a woman!

lol being a women has nothing to do with it but yea, that would be a knee jerk reaction. Jenkins is clearly the strongest director in WB's stable making their DC films, she brings oscar caliber talent to the table like Nolan did for Batman. It seems to me that outside the box directors when left to do what they do bring the best films to the table. That's why I'm excited for Aquaman, James Wan is so left field for that movie BUT WB trust's him and will most likely let me make the film he wants to make, the dudes track record is impressive.

Good, if this doesn't make them reboot, nothing will.

They only care about $$$

If JL makes less than BVS, they'll reboot, but if it makes more....well, you know the rest.

 

[Darkseed]

1 more day until the fun begins......grown ups melting down over a movie....good times ahead....super stoked for the movie and the accompanying reactions.

That's a sad fact. They could give a **** about reviews as long as it turns a profit. I can't say I blame them.

[Popnfresh98]

Lmao crows

I'm definitely with you on this one I don't want a reboot, I want the train to keep going, I want this chaos to keep happening

That gif is perfect

I set the bar on the billion because this was more expensive than BvS wasn't it? Because of the reshoots and all.

1 more day until the fun begins......grown ups melting down over a movie....good times ahead....super stoked for the movie and the accompanying reactions.

Yeah, I usually look forward to the drama more than I do for the movie.

 

[crows]

the drama grows lol:

Whedon has been caught on Twitter liking various tweets that disparage Steppenwolf as a terrible villain including one that calls him 'even worse than malekith.'

DC fans are outraged as he was brought on to shepherd this film after Zacks departure due to tragic circumstances. Fans feel betrayed that he's putting it down, especially after he called Ragnarok a 'masterpiece' just a couple weeks ago.

Who's team is he on? I say Team Joss lol

I think maybe he's trying to distance himself after the reviews are coming out. He's been known for catty behaviour before. But he's truly a piece of crud

Never ever trust a vocal male feminist. Ever. Even female feminists know to not trust guys like that.

 

[RIDDICK]

They could give a **** about reviews as long as it turns a profit. I can't say I blame them.

It's really sad that nowadays a AAA superhero production is basically SyFy Asylum Sr.

Justice league is the soft reboot/rebirth of the characters based on most of the reviews I've read. If this fails they wont reboot again, DCU movies will be dead for a long while... but I don't think it will fail there are just as many critics that like it as there are that don't. Even the ones that don't like it, say they finally got the characters right.. Here are a few snippets

"Justice League Review: DC Films Rebirth Has Begun
Justice League successfully ushers in a new era for DC Films and delivers lots of superhero fun – at the expense of a richer and more layered movie

While Snyder was at the helm on Justice League during production – drawing from a screen story that he cowrote with his Batman V Superman collaborator Chris Terrio – it was Avengers filmmaker Joss Whedon who oversaw the movie’s reshoots after Snyder stepped down in the wake of a personal tragedy. As a result, Justice League doesn’t have the same auteur sensibility as Man of Steel and Batman V Superman – though the film’s more idiosyncratic touches and stylistic flourishes very much feel like Snyder’s handiwork (in a good way); from the Watchmen-style opening credits set to Sigrid’s rendition of “Everybody Knows”, to the movie’s snapshot-esque slow motion during its many colorful and splashy action scenes. Aided by bright and crisp cinematography from Fabian Wagner (Game of Thrones) and a lively soundtrack by Danny Elfman that nods to DC’s history on the big screen, Snyder moves away from the darkly operatic political allegories of his previous DC movies to deliver a proper crowd-pleaser full of playful banter and visually-pleasing spectacle, with Justice League.

Justice League‘s final cut does a solid job of streamlining what was clearly a bigger film at one point (see the various Justice League trailer moments that aren’t in the movie, for the proof) into a two-hour filmgoing experience that never drags and provides simple, but complete, arcs for most every one of its main players.

The screen chemistry between and performances from the members of the Justice League itself, serve as the glue that holds the film together.

In the end, Justice League succeeds at doing what it set out to accomplish – setting the stage for the next wave of DC films and moving the franchise in a fresh direction, without simply jettisoning the mythology introduced in the previous DC movies or flat-out rebooting the franchise. It’s a worthy compromise, all things considered; one that provides fans of Snyder’s previous DC comic book adaptations with a sense of closure, at the same time that it sets the table for a new and exciting future in the DC shared universe. While that prevents Justice League from breaking new ground for the superhero genre from a narrative perspective, it means that like the League itself, the film should have better luck at uniting and not dividing people. Thus, Justice League can be recommended

" Screen Rant

"The best aspects of Justice League are the chemistry between its cast and the film’s individual depiction of each superhero. Unlike in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, these characters, Batman included, are decidedly heroic instead of unlikable and impersonal. They make an effort to save civilians and spare lives, and, ahem, come together to help each other.

It may have taken him three films, but in his performance here Henry Cavill ultimately finds the warmth and soul that makes Superman such a hopeful and heroic icon. It’s nice to have you back, Superman.

Warner Bros. and DC Films had two major goals to achieve with Justice League. First, to cleanse the palette of those turned off by the relentlessly grim BvS; and second, to make viewers enjoy these superheroes enough to want to see further screen appearances by them. Justice League mostly succeeds in accomplishing those two key objectives, despite its sloppy execution.
The titular heroes are the best part of the sloppy, but entertaining Justice League."
'IGN

“Mr. Snyder remains regrettably committed to a dark, desaturated palette that borders on the murky, and this movie’s chaotic, unimaginative action scenes can drag on forever. But the touches of humor in ‘Justice League’ lighten the whole thing tonally and are a relief after the dirgelike ‘Batman v Superman,’ which he ran into the ground with a two-and-a-half-hour running time. (‘Justice League’ clocks in at a not-exactly fleet two hours.) Written by Chris Terrio and Joss Whedon, the new movie shows a series that’s still finding its footing as well as characters who, though perhaps not yet as ostensibly multidimensional as Marvel’s, may be more enduring (and golden). It has justice, and it has banter. And while it could have used more hanging out, more breeziness, it is a start.”

"New York Times"

“Doesn’t take much imagination to know how it’s all going to turn out — but the fun in “Justice League” is in seeing Affleck’s Batman and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman teaming up with Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen/Flash, Jason Momoa’s Arthur Curry/Aquaman and Ray Fisher’s Victor Stone/Cyborg. It’s a putting-the-band-together origins movie, executed with great fun and energy. About those actors playing the Fab Five (with room for more to come). They’re a wonderful (and ridiculously good-looking) group of performers, and they play well together. Thanks to a nifty screenplay by Chris Terrio and Joss Whedon and just the right mix of ‘heavy-iosity’ and humor in the directorial tone of Zack Snyder, ‘Justice League’ marks a solid step forward for the DC Comics Extended Universe.”

None of it is passion projects. It's Bayformers with human protagonists, all CBMs. Completely forgettable schlock.

I really miss the days you'd only see a CBM released once a year at most early last decade.

Yes! They have the point- the mass audience should eat it up- the real Supes- the chemistry- the humor.
I think JL will do just fine. I agree this IS the reboot and DC will keep going making mid-course corrections as they see fit(good or bad)

Ironically enough the only ones that *were* passion projects were Snyder's. And here we are. But now that it's in full meltdown and his vision is dead anyway... Let it burn!

Tho I must say I think the audiences are probably going to have a good time at JL overall.

 

[guyver1]

So I thought today was the nationwide release date but it seems like all my theaters only have evening showings and no matinees, I guess the official release is tomorrow?

It makes sense. Thor 3 is basically an unofficial reboot of the character and franchise, and they did it without changing the cast or film "canon." Maybe that's the next trend. Unofficial reboots that retain certain familiar elements and changing what doesn't work.

So if this makes 1.5 billion will Affleck stay.
