I'm not talking about whether it's a good or bad sign for the film, or whether or not it worries you,
But if they don't lift the embargo soon, they're being dishonest aren't they? Now if they do lift it soon, so be it, I respect that. But would you not be offended by the fact that they refuse to be transparent? That they're perfectly willing to take every cent you give them without being honest about their product? Would you do business with anybody else who was being that deceitful? |

Or, maybe it’s their biggest comic book movie and they want to avoid spoilers?

The embargo is going to be lifted before the movie is officially out.

It's not dishonest.
They can do what they want, they made the movie.
Is it when I would lift it? No, but I didn't make the movie. My opinion doesn't mean shit.

Plus they seem to lift parts of the embargo tomorrow. Plus it makes absolutely no sense to lift during the Thor buzz is still in swing. WB would be stupid to lift right now. Then again it might not be the best move to release in between two Disney movies, Thor3 and the unbeatable juggernaut: STAR WARS. Oh well. |

But hypothetically, if they knew the reviews were all that great, and they were intentionally keeping them from you so that they wouldn't chase anybody off, then yeah that's being dishonest just so they can profit. I know that's their goal but at that point that's the only reason they are making such a decision. Now, we don't know that's the case, so I'm not saying it is, but if it turns out to be the case, then yeah I would say that's dishonest. |

Either way maybe that’s there strategy, it happened with other studios have done that with their movies too, did you wonder if they were dishonest too? |

Aren't they having the first screening for critics in London so many of the American critics won't get to see it early? I recall reading something like that a few months back.  |

It may turn out that there is nothing to it but they are coming off as highly duplicitous to me.  |

So like I said in the opening where I said "if" it turns out that way, then isn't it dishonest? I didn't commit to it being dishonest. It was just a question. That's why I used the word "if" |

The critics who have seen it are professionals. They don't leak spoilers because every critic knows that if they start leaking spoilers then studios aren't going to invite them to future pre-release screenings of movies anymore. |
