Just saw a few reviews of Justice League. I am bummed because they are consistently bad. Please let me know how you like it if you go.

I think DC made a huge mistake putting Zack Snyder in charge of the whole shebang. I loved 300, but I can't think of anything he has done since that I enjoyed. It is sad because DC has IMHO the more iconic singular superheroes (Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman) and the BEST villians (Joker/Lex Luthor/Ra's Al Ghul/etc) but the tone and the stories just don't fit at all.
If they had made the same movies before Marvel rebooted their studio these would probably be well thought of but if you go watch Thor: Ragnarok then go watch this... it is impossible not to compare.
All that said I still plan on checking this out sometime in the next couple weeks.
Agree with all of that. So much so it's a little scary...I think DC made a huge mistake putting Zack Snyder in charge of the whole shebang.

What baffles me is that they brought in Joss Wheddon after Snyder had to drop out for personal reasons and it still appears to be a mess. I have to remember that there were similar reviews for Batman vs Superman and I liked the movie. And it made a ton of $$
Saw it last night. Was it perfect? No, far from it. Still a lot of fun and enjoyed it. WB has to stay out of the way and let the directors do their jobs. The Prez of DC Movies mandating that they bring the runtime of JL in under 2 hours was crap. It needed an extra 20-30 minutes to build up the new characters being introduced and to not make the story so jammed tight. I love comics, always have. The opening with Batman was straight out of the comics. The scene from the trailers were Wonder Woman busts through the door to face off the antagonists with hostages actually gave me goose bumps. Steppenwolf was the wrong villain. They should have went all in and brought out Darkseid. Last battle scene was pretty cool seeing ALL of them work as team. Will be going again tonight. I’d give it a 7 out of 10. Should have been better, but worth watching on the big screen.

It's just become popular to bash DC. Our negative, cynical, internet culture likes to pile onto things and it just becomes popular. I enjoyed B vs S and the Superman movie before that. Were there things wrong with the movies? Yes but people act like those movies are as bad as the super mario movie from way back when. The movies are not that bad, bashing them and call them crap is "in" now.
I think Nolan purposely kept the extended DC universe out of the Dark Knight trilogy. He wants to keep things as practical as possible. It's hard to explain mother boxes, boom tubes, and galactic alien invaders. The way Marvel has done that worked with the first Avengers movie.I haven’t seen it yet but Wonder Woman last year was great. I think they can really have something with Aquaman if they get it right. I saw Nolan’s The Dark Knight again for the 5th or 6th time this past weekend and you forget how incredible that trilogy was. It’s a shame they never continued with the Robin story especially with how the 3rd one ended. Snyder is a visionary and you do feel like you are seeing a living comic book. Even if the new one is meh, I remind myself that I am not too far away from being the amazed kid playing Atari and reading comic books and now the new movies make all of that come to life and more!
