I just cannot get motivated to see this movie. . .**** you WB, for making me really indifferent toward something I cared so much for as a kid.

My suspicion is that their rating system is based on an analysis of the full review, and not the overall scores of the reviewers. If it was a simple standardization of other reviewers' scores, there would be no need for secrecy with their formula. Having said that, based on the brief blurbs here, those reviews seem more or less comparable. The idea behind Metacritic is a lot more appealing to me, because you don't have an arbitrary cut-point that separates "good" from "bad." You have films on a scale of gray, which is reality. It looks in your examples like it may be that some Marvel movies are 5.5 while some of the DC ones are 5.2, and that may be what separates at least a handful of reviews.

I just looked and Metacritic has JL at 46 with Thor at 73. So, still a clear winner, but the difference isn't nearly as stark. They also have red, yellow, and green categories, further highlighting the nuanced nature of scoring. JL is in the middle, yellow range.

But putting all that aside, the consensus view is pretty clear in distinguishing the typical DC from Marvel movie, and those in the mushy middle aren't pushing the films toward an overall rating one way or the other.

Same here. I could have previewed it for free, but I just couldn't make myself drive 90 minutes each way for it. I've been waiting decades for a live action JL film, and it's disappointing to feel so "meh" about it.

Putting into numbers what otherwise should be stupidly obvious.

Just think this when you purchase your ticket and also the second credit scene.....

Man, that's so much better...

Anyway, DCCU is pretty much dead to me now. Just like MCU. I'm just happy to see some consistency in audience's ratings. It shows that as long as your novie is "fun time" it'll make people happy, even if the movie it self is a horrible mess. I gotta stop watchin' these $170.000.000+ crapfests altogether. Last time I didn't feel bad for watchin' a blockbuster was 6 years ago, John Carter... and it was a huge failure business wise.

I liked John Carter- !!

Who gives a S about numbers? You either like the movie or you don't or you choose to not even watch it. If RT told you that 90% of people polled are no longer eating pizza, does that mean so will you?

Yes exactly- see the movie- like it or don't- it's just a movie

Never the only reason I’m eating pizza is cause the ninja turtles are. If they stop then so will I but until then.........

It's not even a large or impressive hole lol

If you hide a body in that hole it would be dug up within the hour and be eaten by wild dogs lol

Awesome

She tore this movie to shreds lol

I'm happy she brought up the building which got me thinking when Superman was carrying that building on its side were all the people inside being crushed by the heavy furniture lol

 

[The Clown Prince of Crime]

Ending with Zimmer's score

Somewhere out there there is a fantastic movie waiting to be born that has nothing to do with anything you've ever seen before.

No franchise, no reboot, no 50 year old comic... something wholly original and simply jaw-dropping insane. In 1977 that was Star Wars. Something like that will happen again.

It will never happen, people were looking at Valerian but that fell flat, Hollywood is collapsing, even the Super hero movie bubble is bursting and I love it, when good movies come out they don’t even get a chance. Look at Blade Runner 2049, released in October and as of now still no release date for Blu Ray for the Holidays, when you got movies released towards the end of October already getting a digital release in December. Watch the JL come out in February. But still times change, Disney and the movie industry killed the public domain, this is what they get reboots and rehashes because of franchises destroyed by their own copyright hell and they totally fricking deserve it. Screw them.


People expect too much and compare it to whats been out there but like someone mentioned earlier, this is pure entertainment and it is all you will get, if your idea of entertainment is solely based on reviews to each their own, I went in knowing it sucked, knowing the cgi was horrible but came out having a good time, which is what I paid for and so did my theater everyone was clapping towards the end, you heard the “oh ****” the damns the audience react wayyyyy more than the past three marvel films i have been to.

I watched part of the Red Letter Media review last night, and Mike Stoklasa compared it favorably to a Saturday morning cartoon, which is the only thing that makes me want to see it at all. But I still am not motivated enough to buy a ticket and drive over to the theater.

Me too. Saw it by accident 'coz the film we wanted to see hadn't opened, but don't understand the hate the film got.

Meanwhile:

Warner Bros/DC’s Justice League led all films in regular release with a big Tuesday of $10.6M, up 41% over Monday, for a running cume of $111.9M. The Zack Snyder-directed movie is expected to take in a gross similar to Coco‘s with $60M over the next five days. While critics have strangled Justice League with a 41% Rotten Tomatoes score, audiences are enjoying it with final PostTrak showing a 4-out-of-5-star response with males at 62% enjoying the movie with an 80% overall positive, and females at 38% giving it an 85% grade. Warners is hoping that more of those older female Wonder Woman fans come out, just like they did for her June solo outing: Females over 25 are giving Justice League its best grades at 90%, but they’re still in the minority among the pic’s headcount repping only 18% of the audience. Leading the charge are males under 35 (32%, 78% positive), males over 25 (30%, 81% positive), and women under 25 (20% at 81% positive). Justice League overall has a 65% definite recommend.

IMO JL may hold its own over the U.S. holiday weekend.

That's the thing too - the fast turn-around to the home view market. Even if I had wanted to go to Valerian, say, - which I kinda did 'coz the trailer looked interesting on a big screen, at least visually - right now they're showing ads for the BR.

 

[jye4ever]

Watch Coco kick JL out of the 1st spot lol

That's just sad the freaking JL.
