One guy Ben Fritz called the Flash a standout but criticized the villain Steppenwolf in a deleted tweet. It's still funny how they've gone balls out with everything else but didn't break out Darkseid for the first JL film. TEXT: In a larger feature about the development of the ensemble superhero film, The Wall Street Journal notes recent test screening of the received audience scores close to that received by Wonder Woman prior to its release. That reception seemingly stems from successful blending of the strengths of directors Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon, the latter of whom stepped in to oversee production when Snyder left in the wake of his daughter’s death. According to the article, “Aficionados likely will be able to pick out the clever, dialogue-heavy scenes shot by Mr. Whedon and the more stylish action scenes shot by Mr. Snyder, but the creative team has endeavored to meld the two.” The Journal also notes that the final edit was the result of some trial and error, and that “early cuts didn’t achieve that goal.” That’s fairly typical, and now Justice League seems on its way to open to open domestically with more than $100 million. While that’s certainly nothing to scoff at, it could still take second place to Marvel’s Thor: Ragnarok, which just raked in over $121 million in its North American debut. www.cbr.com/justice-league-test-screening-wonder-woman/TEXT: Apparently, Justice League has been described as a "crowd-pleaser" and recent test screenings showing the final cut of the highly anticipated DC Comics adaptation scored well with those in attendance. So well, in fact, that the audience score wasn't too far behind Wonder Woman, a release which went on to be a huge critical and commercial success for Warner Bros. Unfortunately, though, The Wall Street Journal's Ben Fritz wasn't overly keen on at least one element. In a now deleted Tweet, he said: "I don't do reviews but I will say this after seeing "Justice League": Ezra Miller's Flash really is a standout. Steppenwolf is not." That's just one opinion but could be a precursor of what's to come! www.comicbookmovie.com/justice_league/justice-league-test-screenings-reportedly-on-par-with-wonder-woman-but-it-seems-steppenwolf-isnt-a-highlight-a155083 |

Zack Snyder doesn't make crowd pleasers, and the early buzz from BvS was very positive, too. Fooled me once, WB. Fooled me once.

A "crowd-pleaser"? Like it or not, that's not Snyder's style.
Either these reactions are full of it (which is very possible), or Whedon was in charge of far more than originally thought.

Speaking of the Flash, Ezra Miller had this to say: Joss Whedon’s late-in-the-day boarding of the project may have helped DC pull off this tonal shift, given that he helmed a quip-heavy brace of Avengers movies previously. But it sounds like lightening up was always a part of the plan this film. Referring to his first meeting with Zack Snyder about the Justice League movie, Ezra Miller said this to Empire: “The first time I ever sat in Zack’s office, he told me people were mad at him for making things too dark." www.denofgeek.com/us/movies/justice-league/268677/is-justice-league-a-soft-reboot-for-the-dceu |

I guarantee right now that if BvS had been better received, we'd been a dark depressive Justice League as well. |

Dawn of the Dead is a pale imitation of the Romero films that spawned it, but since it doesn't take much to please zombie nuts, of course they loved it. |

Competition doesn't really have anything to do with it and what year it was released in, movie was pretty popular when it came out was one of most sold HD-DVD's on the marketplace before Blu-Ray won it all. There weren't many zombie movies out on the market when Dawn '04 came out, the market was not as saturated then as it is now thanks to shows like The Walking Dead. Being a pale imitation of Romero's work is neither here nor there - not my argument, just saying it was a crowd pleasing film. |

Any fan of DC better be praying for a colossal failure. We need a reboot. Not a fucking soft reboot. The DCEU has to die before it can be reborn. That probably won't even help. They did reboot after Green Lantern failed, and that spawned the unholy abomination we call the DCEU. They'll fail the next time, too, because they don't care about DC. WB is just a dispassionate company that wants to cash in on Marvel's hard work. |

For instance, I heard some of the Chinese screening said they saw 30 minutes but every character had a brilliant moment and the film was well balanced. Soooooooooo in just 30 minutes every character had a brilliant moment and the person could tell the film was well balanced? Really? That's amazing considering they couldn't have made it much past the set up of the film.

WB is just a dispassionate company that wants to cash in on Marvel's hard work. Hand Wheadon the keys. Let him start over. He can keep Wonder Woman. Let him hand pick Directors. Let him write. Let him direct what he wants. Just let him run with it. Shit, can The Batman and give Batman to him. I don't care. We need a new vision. Actually, they should scrap Wonder Woman, too, and do that better next time as well. Like, say, leave all the Greek gods alive and let Wonder Woman keep the universe she's supposed to be able to play around in. Seriously, what can the WW sequels even be about if the Greek legends are just dead? |

Never said they were, the topic was on crowd pleasers which can go either way - Star Wars is a crowd pleaser; it's regarded as quality, Twilight is a crowd pleaser to; its regarded as junk. |

His batting average for pleasing fans with the DCEU is terrible, and that's the one that matters here. All indicators show he never really learned why people were getting pissed at him. The sheer bleakness of the content was just part of it. The shit scripting was the other half of it. Agreed on the topic of "crowd pleasers." |

I'm actually interested to see what Matt Reeves does with The Batman. If any DCEU movie is gonna be good, it'll be that one. |

Dawn of the Dead is a pale imitation of the Romero films that spawned it, but since it doesn't take much to please zombie nuts, of course they loved it. Can't see how other films that year being bad would make 300 any more or less a "crowd pleaser". In the world of horror remakes and zombie movies, I'd say Snyder's DoD is pretty outstanding. |

Walking Dead comic, which was first published at the end 2003 really grew in popularity, particularly after the first trade. 2004 was the year that kicked off the 21st Century zombie boom |
