and it's been reported that one of the attendees described the movie as being "fine".
TEXT:
As pointed out by Twitter user Steele131, Warner Bros. held a screening for Justice League last night. Thanks to the Non-Disclosure Agreements each viewer had to sign to see the film, there are no direct reactions so these lucky few do not fall victim to lawsuits. But, test screenings happening now confirms that some sort of cut exists for Justice League as they gear up for press screenings next month.
Since viewers can’t reveal their thoughts on the film, any reactions to it will come from second hand sources. One of the pictures included in the tweet has one user citing an unnamed person who attended saying it was “fine.” With many wanting this movie to be great, “fine” will not cut it for most. But, this is supposedly the thought of only one anonymous person, so this should not be taken as any validation of the movie’s quality.
Everyone will obviously get to determine that for themselves come November 17th, but press screenings should happen in the week(s) leading up. When the embargo drops could be a telling sign as always, with an early embargo lift typically signaling a studio being confident that reviews will be strong, while later may signal the opposite. However, with a movie filled with as many potential spoilers as Justice League that would inevitably leak, Warner Bros. may elect to do screenings and lift the embargo closer to the release date to avoid such things from happening.
Regardless of the reactions to this screening or when actual reactions will surface, this really just shows that Justice League is moving along fine. If they have a cut of the film at this point that will somewhat resemble what hits theaters, that should further confirm that Whedon is no longer still filming the movie and is now firmly in editing mode. All we can hope for is that the response from this screening was helpful and pointed out anything that may need to be changed in the coming weeks.

Hmm, it sounds to me that "fine" is just a nicer way of saying "It wasn't that good." Looks like we may have another dud in our hands, but you never know. Reviews for Wonder Woman came out days before release, and they were fantastic.

I would have said it was a bloated mess, and it made lots of money and had good reviews by critics. That doesn't mean anything. Could have been a non-comic fan that didn't really care either way.

But at the same time, it could be a comic fan that just wasn't impressed. Relax, I'm not saying this is guarenteed to be garbage. It can go either way, hopefully the other side of the spectrum.

I just don't see anyway that it succeeds on the level that people want it to.
At this point, people are expecting it to be the best CBM of the year and better than The Avengers. I don't think either of those are going to happen.

Yes, we are aware that your word should never be listened to. Speaking of, how's your job at McDonald's?

"Just fine" depends on the tone that it is said.

I don't think either of those are going to happen. Well, the best CBM of the year so far is Wonder Woman so it'll be hard to top that even for a JL movie. But The Avengers was a crappy movie so JL will easily be much better than The Avengers.

Homecoming scored higher and made more in the box office. Not only did people like it more, but more people liked it.

But The Avengers was a groundbreaking movie so JL will have its work cut out for it. Fixed.

Was Wonder Woman the best CBM of the year? Yes, Wonder Woman is ranked by RT as the #1 Best Superhero Movie of All Time: 50 Best Superhero Movies of All Time.

Yeah, that's going to be hard to top, espeically for a movie that's similar to The Avengers and looks like a been there done that movie.

That's never been done before by any other movie studio. Not by Fox. Not by Sony. And not by Marvel Studios.

And The Avengers made $1.5 billion without an A-list superhero at the time, which would be embarrassing for Justice League if it doesn't even come close. And it probably won't.
