I dont know what these critics watched but this movie was epic and awesome as ? .
I loved the tone and the colour pallet.That Amazon battle at the beginning was dope as hell.
awesome performances from all the league. Loved the chemistry and the jokes , most landed and it seemed hella fun.
solid 8/10 and a great genuine crowd pleaser. Cant wait for Aquamayne and the rest of the DCEU movies.Will definitely see it again.
? the DC critics realtalk.
lol at Steppenwolf being basically Mike Pence with all that “mother” ? and being evil as ? .

Well one thing good about this movie is wejave an upbeat confident happier Superman instead of the brooding superman from man of steel and bvs.
-
Just got out. Loved it. Seeing it again next week.
-
That Amazon scene was dope though. They was ready to die for that ? no questions asked.

I think we've reached a point in film where we have to relinquish the idea of self-contained movies where stories begin when you press play and end when the credits role. The modernization of this industry has evolved to incorporate an episodic approach thats not going anywhere. Now the fans and critics just need to get on board with it as a whole and stop expecting films to do what was the norm 40+ years ago. Sequels are the norm now. Multi-film franchises are the norm now. Cross-overs are the norm now. I'm starting there because the complaints about the villain being weak or the story being non-existent stem from an outdated expectation everything be explained within the movie you're watching.
Second point is understanding studio decisions and the burden of knowledge that the filmgoer has. Yes, YOU know that Ben Affleck may not be Batman for too much longer. YOU know there were two distinctly different directors working on the same film at different times. YOU know there's competing studio cranking out movies of a similar origin. YOU know Henry Cavil had a mustache for reshoots. The problem is taking all of that knowledge with you into the theater and not allowing yourself to objectively view the film on what it intended to accomplish as opposed to what you THINK it should have or could have done. That's not your call. You can love it or hate it objectively, but at least do so acknowledging what the director and studio wanted to do instead of what YOU wanted them to do.
I appreciated the care given to sincerely delve into the personalities of the characters and the world they exist in. WB decided to go into these films, not to give us a panel by panel redress of what we've been reading for the past few decades, but a adaptation of those stories. They're basically using their own characters like public domain properties, and I like that approach because something I know and expect, while other things I don't know and catch me by surprise. The acting is mostly on point, with the exception of Jason Mamoa giving a monologue leaning against the batmobile. The action gave me what i wanted and the nods to future movies and past lore had me losing my mind in the best way possible.
I got the sense that each of these individuals are gods in their own right, coming together for the sake of unity and protection of those who cannot provide it for themselves. Thats my big takeaway. So, if you go in with your own checklist of what this movie should do, you're going to have a bad time. But go in with a clear mind and I promise you'll enjoy yourself. I'll be getting the physical copy when it comes out for sure.
8/10

i seriously wanna punch all those rotten tomatoes ? in their faces , ? really gonna lie like this , smh...

It's worth noticing that it's a systematic problem with Rotten Tomatoes, but not the company itself. So the (mostly white) critics get to say "nuh uh! there's no bias, it's all in your head, just make better movies, nobody to blame but yourself!"
That's how they do though. They discriminate systematically and when you call them out, they deny deny deny.
No the movie isn't perfect but it's no where as bad as people who claim to enjoy these kinds of films say it is. -
Just got back and thought it was dope. WW and this are nice bounce backs for DC. Cat who played Cyborg did his thing

this is foul tho , coz it really stops folks from being enthusiastic about going to see a movie , i know its personal test but when you get some average marvel joints getting 60% but then this gets 40%, there is something really wrong there. -

This is not true at all. The majority of movies released every year stand alone and all contain a proper middle, beginning and end. Superhero movies may fall under a more serialized storytelling format but that doesn't mean all movies out today though.
Even when it comes to that it's still not true. Wonder Woman was pretty stand alone with no open ends or loose threads by the closing credits. Same with Logan.

I'm saying those types of films are normal now, considering the sheer amount of sequels, prequels, and cross overs that have been made in the past 30+ years.
I didn't say stand alone films are extinct, just that they are not the only types of films being made anymore. -
Lol at thinkn a cyborg movie would be a hit
-
Weren't they just go to use Cyborg in The Flash movie instead. I figured they turned The Flash into Flashpoint since Cyborg is basically the third main character in that story.

Saw this Thursday. While I did enjoy it and it is my fav DCEU movie the flaws are there and are getting annoying at this point. The fact that this film as rushed and they can't even get the CGI right is a disgrace. WB have been throwing this ? together from the beginning and if it is true that a JUSTICE LEAGUE can't even make over 100 million opening weekend is shot to everyone in WB starting with the CEO. They really need to take a hard look at what the ? they're doing and figure out what this next step is or heads should roll. And again, this movie isn't bad but it's not a game changer either. I've mostly forgotten about this movie already and have no plans on seeing it again.

the CGI wasn’t even that bad couldve been better but people do exaggerate coz its DC.
Steppenwolf was cool lookin to me. -

Yeah but last I heard they working on a solo for him also. I just think they could tell some good stories with him Solo wise and the actor played the part very well -
