My money’s on Flash. This Flash is a kid, so IMHO less likely than Batman or Aquaman. My money's on Arthur. He looks like the sort of guy with that kind of music on his playlist. bigdamnhero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranxerox Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Well, the reviews are out, and Justice League has Rotten Tomatoes score of 38%. So, binge watching The Punisher it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassandra Posted November 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Just heard that Steppenwolf is computer animated. I've seen a lot of positive review, but they all end with "Okay, I've gave it a good review. Can I have my puppy back?" Logan D.

Christopher R Taylor Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I'm hoping Punisher is better than the preview made it look. I'm not fond of vast government conspiracy stories. He hunts gangsters and criminals because they killed his family. If it was eeevil white CIA guys who did it, then he'd be the guy who kills government officials and spies. I get that they are afraid of having ethnic gangs be the targets of the Punisher's wrath and nobody buys that the Mafia is in charge anywhere any longer, but still.

zslane Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 We're probably stuck with Corrupt, Evil Government as superhero villain for the foreseeable future. It seems to be the only villain the general public can relate to right now, and Hollywood is always desperately falling over itself in its attempt to appear "relevant". And it looks like Joss Whedon is taking the heat for adding all the sophomoric humor to the movie. Somehow I have a feeling they'll find a way to blame him for the new Amazon outfits too.

Christopher R Taylor Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Read some other reviews, there seems to be a really consistent theme of "kind of a muddled mess, Steppenwolf is a dull meh, but entertaining enough" Lord Liaden 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Women are decrying the treatment of Wonder Woman in this film. Apparently she does get some nice moments of badassery, but she reportedly spends most of the movie just being sexually objectified by most of the male characters.

Starlord Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Maybe that's why WW stayed inactive this last century, every time she put on her armor she had to deal with cavemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zslane Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Apparently they've retconned that (her post-WWI seclusion from "Man's World") out of her backstory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Supposedly Wonder Woman spends a lot of time moping about missing her one true love from WWI as well, but that might have been overblown by the reviewer. You never know what to trust from those guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st barbara Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I saw the movie last night and generally enjoyed it.Yes Wonder Woman was moping a bit, but she was also the fierce warrior princess at times too. I especially liked the new, kick ass Aquaman and the young naive Flash (although I agree he might not be to everyone's taste). After the very serious tone of "Batman vs Superman" it was good to see a bit of humour in a D C movie. I don't give a damn what "Rotten Tomatoes" or anyone else says, I enjoyed it and I am looking forward to the sequel that is hinted at in the post credit sequence. I hope it does well at the box office. Hermit, Hyper-Man, assault and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zslane Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 The wildly different reviews of JL make me wonder if people are seeing entirely different movies. This is why reviews are useless to me. There's no way someone else's movie experience can or will meaningfully inform/predict my own. In fact, in my experience, my off-the-cuff judgments based strictly on trailers has historically been a far more accurate predictor of what I will think of a movie as a whole (assuming I ever get around to seeing it at all), than anyone else's opinion/review.

Hyper-Man Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 I saw JL this afternoon and really liked it. But i am biased since I read my first Flash comic 45 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaplayboy Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 It's tracking for a sub-100 million dollar opening, which for a 300 million dollar film is terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher R Taylor Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 I heard 110 million for the first weekend but we'll see. I think that it might have legs if its not as bad as people fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 I've also heard the $110 million figure from people online who claim to have access to the tracking data, which, to be honest, I've never personally seen. But those tracking numbers often don't match the final official tally, which can be higher or lower, so we'll just have to wait for that. Still, box office hasn't always been a good indicator of whether I myself like a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
