DC/WB have a review embargo on Justice League until just 16 hours before it releases. That’s almost always a bad sign Eh, once upon a time that was the case but it's becoming more and more of a common practice so it's not the bellwether it once was. |

When are DC/WB going to get their heads out of their asses and get rid of Snyder?
Never, it seems.

40% on Rotten Tomatoes
Now of course RT isn't the end all, be all...but this sounds (and looks) just like the mountain of crap that was BvS. Many reviews stating that it's only a marginal improvement over BvS and Suicide Squad.

Hopefully will see the movie tomorrow. Although I'm not crazy with the murky visuals I have liked the DC movies. I think they have decent ideas.
Edit:
I saw it. I liked it. Yes there was too much reliance on CGI & the villain was weak, but the team looked like they were having fun. I felt they "restored" Superman properly as a hero.
I really don't care what the reviews say. I was entertained. I enjoyed myself. I felt emotional during several scenes. |

My dear friend and I will be seeing tomorrow morning at 10:00 am and have lunch afterwards and he already seen it and told me that this movie is already doomed to the start; that it's made 98 million in it's opening weekend. See link for details. I'll give you my impressions tomorrow as soon I come home seeing this movie. |

Only real positives that I can say about it are that Gal Gadot is once again great as Wonder Woman and at least Superman acts a helluva lot more like Superman than in Man of Steel or BvS.
Everything else about it was pretty much terrible.
Ezra Miller as Flash is annoying as hell (should’ve just used the guy who plays the TV Flash), Batman displays no sort of intelligence or detective skills at all, Aquaman is just some dude-bro surfer guy, Cyborg is god awful, and Steppenwolf is one of the most shallow villains I’ve ever seen (and comic book movies are littered with them) and looks like he stepped out of a videogame from 10 years ago.
And the CGI mustache removal on Cavill is just laughably bad. Sticks out like a sore thumb in multiple scenes.
All in all, the DCEU is just a colossal failure. I’m not even bothering with these movies anymore with the exception of Wonder Woman 2.

It had some rough spots, mostly in the set up, but I enjoyed it and thought once the League got pulled together it was pretty good. Others haven't liked Cyborg but I thought they did a really good job with him and liked how they tied in the Mother Boxes with his tech. Aquaman was ok, Flash stole the show, Superman was good, Wonder Woman was strong, Bats was ok but not great. Even though Steppenwolf was CGI he was better than I anticipated. It was decent and enough to have me coming back for more again. Worth seeing. Here's a broad swath of reviews which give a more balanced review of the movie : Justice League movie reviews |

Movie did what was needed and entertaining. Steppenwolf was a one-note character and CGI didn't help him any and Para-demons were wasted cannon fodder. The highlight of the movie was the characters and their interactions together. Captured the humanity of their aspects so much better than any Marvel movie so far and it actually gave me tears at some moments. Flash was a bit of a dork more Wally than Barry but used effectively as a viewer point of reference saying or thinking things audiences might. Cyborg came off better than I had hoped for and glad they didn't go on the pit/anger/sorrow ride too long. Gadot as Wonder Woman: what to say but perfection and I am in love! Had a blast with Momoa as Aquaman being the half breed bad-ass outsider having fun. Affleck played Batman as older, tired and smart enough to know he isn't in the same power level and compensates with money and skills. Cavill was spot on as Superman this time around and sounded and looks like the Superman we all know. Alfred and Gordon and Lois and Martha all were spot on the mark and filled the movie with a nice character/comic book essence.
Was it a perfect movie? Not by any means but damn if it didn't have more heart and charm to it overall than Avengers which seems more splash and splendor and humor over story and character. Well worth having seen and very watchable for another go round or two or three.

I saw it yesterday....and I liked it. I loved the scenes with Superman (Lois and Ma Kent too). Loved seeing Batman and Wonder Woman work together to form the league.I went in not wanting to like Ezra Miller as the Flash, but he won me over (although I do prefer the tv Flash). Once I understood where this Aquaman came from, I was on board with him too-despite the surfer frat bro aura. To me, Cyborg was the weakest link (although he wasn't terrible).
I appreciated the humor and nice character moments. I would have preferred a different villain, but if the end credits scene indicate what is to come, that could be really good! Not a perfect movie, but entertaining fun.

I'm guessing Steppenwolf is a precursor to Darkseid's showing up in the next movie. Against an even larger League is my other guess.
