JUSTICE LEAGUE movie

[M0NSTER]

Those type of films make the most money for hollywood. They're making it for the money so JL will most likely have a basic story, little character development or drama and lots of child-friendly jokes to appeal to a wider family based audience.

Disagreed man. I think if anything your statment is more in line with what the next Avengers movie is going to be. Hell, it sounds like the template for the first one. I'm pretty sure that between what Batman has done and what Man of Steel is planning to do that DC and Warner Bros aren't looking for the child friendly/family friendly JL. I think the majority of people are beyond anything campy or soft. You could be right though. I just don't see it.

@Nova - WB wants to throw The Avengers on a photocopier and call it Justice League. The tone, age group and everything else will go for the same demographics. As you said, this movie is a money grab and The Avengers formula worked.

 

[KneelBeforrSmallville]

I honestly think there trying to get away from the family friendly cheesefest stuff because that formula rarely works now. In this day in age, whenever a new comic book movie is on the horizon fans hate it and make there voices heard, the filmmakers know they need either deliver or make a total flop, theres no inbetween anymore. 10 years ago that could of worked but i feel now they have to deliver a good movie all around.

I don't agree. The family friendly cheesefest is what usually makes the most money ala Transformers trilogy.

The easiest way to make money is to make something that tries to appeal to all ages. That means making it mostly for the kids, just enough storyelling for the adults but un-complicated enough for kids to follow without losing attention, lots of simple humour and plenty of non-threatening action spectacle.

Whether this means a good film or not isn't important, whats important is getting the most butts in seats and razzle dazzling enough of the audience to come back for sequels.

Thankfully the majority are movies that go for tha family friendly audience but offer a more complete package for the adults and those that don't go for the family friendly audience money and thus can be more risky & daring in the story & rating.

This year i'd say The Wolverine & Kick ***. Are the ones that are more risky because of the settings and seriousness. The studios could've watered them down to basic level to get the kid money but thankfully they look to be deeper.

With JL and all of their colourful characters i predict it'll be made for the extreme family audience. A fun bit of spectacle but simple and easygoing.

If what you're saying is true then all they have to do is cast people for the roles. Have a 5 year old write the script. Film the movie. Then release it. The name and the names of the characters involved would sell the product by itself. And if you think that people wouldn't come back to see the sequel then how did Joel Schumaker get away with it for all of those years?

JL should be handled with integrity to the premise, & draw from the strength of the familiarity of it's primary characters - yet find a way to introduce peripheral characters & bring the mythos into modern consciousness.

Dumbing it down, camping it up, cutting corners - whatever, is the best way to sink the whole thing in a blaze of mediocrity.

 

[DeltaForceChung]

IF a Justice League film eventually gets made . . . leave Aquaman out.

The easiest script is to copy/lift the JUSTICE LEAGUE: SECRET ORIGINS storyline from the animated series.

But ironically it'll make lots of cash

Ryan Reynolds Has ‘Very Little Interest’ in ‘Justice League’ Return

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Given the hate for him in the role i on't blame him.mreynolds was decent as Hal just didn't have much to work with

..reynolds was decent as Hal just didn't have much to work with

Nah.. really, he wasn't.

 

[KneelBeforrSmallville]

Im more interested in they way he looks at comic book movies post green lantern. Seemed that the they had all the components of a good production, just a mediorcre script and no direction of where to take that and the characters.

I still have faith in Reynolds tho, if hes giving something he can sink his teeth into im shure he can be a great green lantern. I said this before, i feel like he was to reserved, he didnt go all out.

Its all gonna come down to who they choose to helm Justice League

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

Maybe it's me being biased ultimately.. but I can't stand the guy.

There's not a single thing I've seen him in that I could tolerate. He just doesn't fit the profile of the classic Hal I'd like to see on screen.

There are other actors out there who'd be far better suited to the role as far as I'm concerned..

 

[Kamandi]

Screw Ryan Reynolds and his crappy GL. Just make a "World's Finest" movie.

He was good in the movie buried, which is the only good non comedy role he has done IMO. He should stick to comedies he does not do dramatic or serious roles very well with the movie I mentioned above being his only good one. He should avoid super hero movies like the plague unless he wants to completely ruin his career. He needs to do what Ben afflect (eg daredevil) did and learn from his mistake and never take such roles again
He simply sucks at anything serious!

By the way, if they want to fix green lantern they better cast a good actor (like JGL or Gossling, although gosling would make a better flash) that people respect in the role or the character will never be taken seriously again by the gp after the Reynolds debacle.

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

The Reynolds film was almost 90s-ish with the cheese.. so disappointing.

When I think of classic Hal - I think of Neal Adams' art. The Fass looks like classic Hal; whether he could be bothered playing a cocky test pilot is another story though.

Chris Pine would be cool too, as others have mentioned, for a more modern take on Hal.

DC needs to the follow the path path that MARVEL did culminating with THE AVENGERS.

Prior to THE AVENGERS, almost all of the team were introduced in their own respective films under the unified MARVEL film universe.

DC's film universe is very much fragmented except for Nolan's BATMAN films. MAN OF STEEL (SUPERMAN) is pending and remains an unknown. GREEN LANTERN sucked @$$. WONDER WOMAN can't seem to launch along with THE FLASH and other characters. IMHO . . . AQUAMAN should not be even considered.

IMHO . . . the absolute best representation of JUSTICE LEAGUE I've seen is the DC universe animated series JUSTICE LEAGUE & JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED. They had no hesitation & pretension in animation unlike live action.

If DC/WARNER BROS. was absolutely serious on making JUSTICE LEAGUE as well have a cohesive & unified DC film universe with ALL of their proper characters, they need to take a look at MARVEL's success and missteps (i.e. THE HULK, FANTASTIC FOUR).

 

[ExMem-LarjaThwei]

Justice League isn't Justice League without Aquaman.

 

[jye4ever]

Justice League isn't Justice League without Nolan.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

The only Justice League members who can carry their own films right off the bat have been done already (Batman, Superman & Green Lantern) so WB just needs to focus on getting a team film done and not bother starting from scratch and taking years building it up when it doesn't need that.
