Seems Wonder Woman was an anomaly not the new normal. I know DC fans loathe when these films get compared to Marvel movies, but Warner Bros. should have taken a note from the MCU, allowing a string of solo films to set up and grow the characters so their big epic didn’t feel like it’s constantly playing catch-up. As good as Whedon’s work is, it can no more save the building blocks of this mess than patching plaster troweled onto a collapsing chimney. Snyder’s gloom-and-doom tone, his narrative clumsiness and his fixation on Crazytown fight scenes crammed with hundreds of flying monkeys remain fixed in place. Seems like 100 million opening is doomed. deadline.com/2017/11/justice-league-opening-weekend-box-office-lower-thor-ragnarok-wonder-the-star-1202211094/ |

@poes Well, the movie hasn't even officially come out yet, has it? For all we know audiences will love it, and it'll only be [some, not all] the critics who dislike it. That's not to say that the movie is going to be great; I don't know. But that's just the point: nobody knows yet. |

For DC, the stakes with Justice League could go beyond box office dollars and bragging rights.For a lot of people who are following DC Cinematic Universe, Justice League is the last chance for them to get it right. If it's as reviled as Batman v Superman, many of the fans are going to check out.

Everyone says it was cut down to two hours at the behest of WB. That had to leave some impact.

They should have gotten Snyder off the project immediately after the horrible reception towards BvS. They also could've delayed the release of the film by a few months as well (apparently reshoots/rewrites were taking place up to 1 month before release). I personally think Whedon should have taken over from the very beginning. He couldn't save it in time. At this rate we won't be getting that solo Batman movie from Matt Reeves (which I was looking forward to).

It's not as great as Wonder Woman but it's still a great movie and better than many of the CBms this year (including GotG2, Homecoming, and Raganarok). It's a 9 out of 10. And no, they didn't need a string of solo movies. There's more than 1 way to create a shared universe. And the DCEU has done it successfully. MCU fans keep trying to ignore the fact that the DCEU's 1st 4 movies had a better combined box office than MCU's 1st 4 movies. That means DCEU is ahead of MCU's pace and will eventually surpass MCU. |

Is this a discussion or just the sadly typical mcu troll nonsense? |

It had an uphill battle keeping Snyder onboard after BvS. I assume he was under contract or something, or else WB truly is stupid.

Like three movies or something to do with followups to Man of Steel. Yikes. Honestly, I thought it was crazy they gave him Superman in the first place, let alone follow ups after how polarizing it was. But it made money, I suppose. |
