There's a whole Marvel vs. DC fan boy thing that I will never understand. Marvel has made some bad movies, far worse than any in Snyder's universe, IMO. Iron Man 2? Thor 2? Even The Avengers (which I've hated since I bought it on DVD after the initial release). To me, they're rubbish. To others, the DC rubbish. Live and let live. |

DC is in a big transition right now, which *I* believe is wrong because they're finally getting to the point where they've carved out their center of the comic book universe. Too many itchy trigger fingers. That said, I found Danny Elfman's score to be far more subtle than I expected. He's usually so bombastic, which makes me question if there was a guiding hand behind him (not Williams but Johns & Company). Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a "bad" thing, just a little different for him. My opinion is that they should continue on this trajectory, with Ben Affleck as Batman, and have Matt do his thing, separately, with Jake. This film really worked for me and I think it would be a mistake to break up this cast and not continue with these stories. |

It was just under wonder woman for a good DC movie. There was lots to enjoy.
Any comic fan should see it. But lots of problems for me. Cyborg CGI. Steppenwolf CGI. Batman having better jokes than flash. |

I'll admit though that the last Superman movie is the first one I've actually liked. To me his conflict/character flaws made the character relatable instead of a 1950's boy scout. At this point Marvel comix (not the films) have been completely ruined by politics. I'd prefer to spend that $$$ on watching a DC film...

The Williams theme is incredible and iconic no doubt. But I did like Zimmers new theme a lot too

Oh man, really enjoyed Justice League...I have hope for future dceu films! Not perfect, had flaws but the team. . That tease at the end though I'd give it an 8/10 ..behind WW for my favorite dc movie. I'm reallooking forward to what's next. Love the team and hope Affleck returns. The crowd seemed to enjoy it too. I'll probably go again.

We had the rowdiest crowd, in a good way, that I can remember in a long, long time and that was at an 11:30am showing.
People clapping at certain scences and a huge roar and clapping at the end. I’m not sure I’ll get to see it again in the theater but it’s a first day digital purchase on VUDU. |

It was pretty good. The biggest gripes from critics I could see; formulaic plot, one note villain, too much CGI. I still found myself enjoying it, thought Batman was kinda weakly written in this film with not enough action to do. Flash was the best, Aquaman was good, WW was WW, and Cyborg wasn't as robotic as I thought he would be, or looked in the trailers. Some things I left scratching my head on, but nothing that detracted from the overall film. I could see it in the 7-8/10 range. RT score is just critics bitching with a preconceived notion, you'll enjoy yourself. If you're worried about it, go see a matinee during the day so you don't spend as much money.

The weekend box office is disappointing. It made $96 million, which is a ton of money, but compared to other superhero films, even the other DC films, it's not really that great. Didn't even make as much on opening weekend as Suicide Squad, or Wonder Woman.
Hard to rationalize with a film that saw the greatest superheros of all time team up. Even 10 years ago, you would've assumed this would be a $200 million movie. Be curious to see where WB takes this thing now. Do they keep pressing on or do they just reboot the whole thing? |
