Justice League post- good reviews discussion
Tremendous reviews pouring on social media with many claiming it's better than WW.
The hype cometh

Re: Justice League post- good reviews discussion
Where? I thought the initial reactions were exactly opposite of what Excel claimed - "that it is not as good as Wonder Woman"

Re: Justice League post- good reviews discussion
Is this really getting a good response? I just can't see that at all.

Re: Justice League post- good reviews discussion

Re: Justice League post- good reviews discussion
Highlights include:
"Nothing could save Justice League from its loud, ugly, tacky self. Not Wonder Woman, not wide-eyed Ezra Miller, not Joss Whedon's quippy teardown & rebuild. And Henry Cavill's mustache is an actual issue: they gave him Uncanny Valley Face. Oof, guys. It's a rough ride."
"Justice League! It's okay. Narratively it's a mess, the stakes don't work & the villain isn't great. HOWEVER, the heroes are great, it's funny, & there's some surprisingly effective character work. I didn't love it but there are enough good pieces to excite me for the future."
"Justice League is better than expected, but not a home run... Flash and Aquaman steal the show. Cybor and villain are weak links."

Average is like the perfect word I would use to describe it, because while some did enjoy it it sounds like it still has a lot of the same problems as the rest of the DCEU films. I don't expect professional critics to be so kind either.

The reaction is pretty much identical to THOR 2's when its social media embargo lifted.

Re: Justice League post- good reviews discussion
But what is Thor 2 to BVS?
Thor 2 is a perfectly manageable film

Re: Justice League post- good reviews discussion
This should definitely have better RT than BvS & SS. That’s an improvement at least. Can’t wait to see it Thursday night

Wasn’t comparing it to WW You said improvement. Why are you conveniently missing out the most recent installment in the franchise? And why are you even comparing it to Suicide Squad? Because it was a team up flick? lol. Nobody from SS is in Justice League. At least Wonder Woman is actually in it. On a trajectory from first to last in the DCU, Justice League will at a point where it's going down, not up.

Re: Justice League post- good reviews discussion
These social media reactions all read like someone telling their friend how the play they were in was, through a forced smile.
Reviews probably on't be as bad as BvS or Suicide Squad, but they aren't gonna be good. Probably at Man of Steel level.

Magnus wrote: It's amusing how much people care about narrative and villains in JL when Thor: Ragnaork had one of the silliest and thin stories in MCU and a lackluster villain who didn't do much after her first scene. That's what happens when you make enjoyable films, viewers are more forgiving of other things. And also there is still the expectation that because Nolan created such good villains, the DCU should have better villains.

Ragnarok also goes full in on being a comedy to the point of bear self-parody

Re: Justice League post- good reviews discussion
I think the aspect of coherence was also missing in BvS and SS which is why WW did great with critics even though its final fight was pretty crap even from tentpole standards.

let's be clear: the majority of MCU films are better than BvS and SS. I'm not trying to make the point that they aren't. I don't even mind a critic calling out the flaws of DCU films too...as long as they recognize the flaws they are calling out exist in the majority of comic book (or really any modern live action blockbuster) today. But the reviews have always read as if DCU films are only guilty of their crimes. DC cock sucker.
