The Comic Book Film Thread *** SPOILERS ***

I'm assuming based on your avatar that your a sole Calvin and Hobbs fanboy and hate Garfield....

It's not my fault that Garfield is shit.

As an Aquaman fan, that's disappointing.

There was a bit more than what was seen in the trailers. His battle with Steppenwolf for one and his interaction with Mera

I’m guessing the directors cut will have a heap of stuff from him...

Also he’s currently on the GC filming his solo film so we will see plenty of him...

I thought it was a fun movie overall, the good parts were ok. The bad parts were terrible

Snyder is simply not a storyteller, and the CGI used looked so fake. They literally had to spend only 1 scene explaining the backstory of the new guys, and it wasn’t a bad effort - but it felt rushed. That is annoying, and seeing how they didn’t need to do that with Wonder Woman and thus making the movie flow better shows they should’ve all had their own films before this.

The reason why I didn’t like Steppenwolf as a villain is because he just shows up and wants to destroy the world - I never like those type of villains, plus he was defeated too easily. Even Roose Bolton was a better villain in the one scene he had
Those were my main 2 gripes I had, but they don’t f**k up the movie

Superman fighting all JL members was great, and better than the whole BvS movie.
Flash was used really well throughout the film
Aqua man was a badass as expected

I would say a 6.5/10

Oh and for the record, WW has a higher RT % than both Winter Soldier and Iron man

Check. Mate

Winter soldier, yes. Iron man...........

Well, this is a bit embarrassing. You’re not very good at numbers (or chess) are you? Let me help you out here. 94 is greater than 92, not the other way around.

Here’s another number for you:

I dunno if Steppenwolf was defeated easily. It took 6 incredibly powerful beings to take him down

But yeah, he was pretty vanilla

Pretty much proves my point from before. The agitate critic format that sites like RT use is terribly flawed

Even more so when the site itself can take reviews with no score and assign one themselves without consulting the critic who wrote it

Claims X has a higher score than y on website z.

Actually, y has a higher score than X.

Then responds by stating the format used on website z is flawed.

Because?

Ok, how about we use metacritic instead? IM beats WW, 79-76. Tell me more about how metacritic is flawed

I was referring to how easy it was for Superman. The other 5 got their ass kicked and then Superman shows up and dominates him

Good thing is the JL is set to expand - When Batman asks Alfred for a table with 6 chairs, WW said they need more chairs if they're to grow (or something like that).
So do they bring in the Green Lantern? They already showed other lanterns in the flashback fight scene.

Oh and Flash v Superman race mid-credit scene was great. DC don't usually do that

Firstly mate, my quoting RT % previously has been firmly tongue in cheek. Sorry you missed the joke, I thought the winky emoji was a decent clue. Next time I'll just put a [joke] [/joke] on either side

Secondly, it's flawed for many reasons. Like I said, critical reviews are given scores by RT when no score has actually been given by the critic. The site assigns one without consulting them. It also cherry picks some reviews while leaving out others

Ok, how about we use metacritic instead? IM beats WW, 79-76. Tell me more about how metacritic is flawed

Metacritic uses a similar system at RT and is similarly flawed. See above

Well yeah, Superman is f**king powerful though

GL will be the next logical member. The JL has traditionally had a fairly large and diverse member base though, much like the Avengers has. It's possible they could bring in other members like Shazam, Hawkman, Black Canary, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, Vixen, Atom, etc

Yeah, suuuuure you were joking

 

[natheel]

I didn't hate it but I didn't love it. I loved seeing Flash and Aquaman on the big screen. It fell a bit flat for me.

 

[Generalzod]

What i liked about it's how the orginal theme for Supernan and Batman was used in this film, which i thought is a great idea, It was an ok film enjoyable to watch its not meant to be Shakespeare, but for big budget film some the CGI was pretty shit. Well during the end credits through the PA system we where told we had to evacuate the premises at Miranda Westfields later i learned there was a bomb threat. f**k

The disconnect between the critics and audience is huge
It's an enjoyable film imo, you're allowed to go watch it and form your own opinion rather than rely on critics

 

[Parra Pride]

I enjoyed Justice League. Story wasn't anything special and would've bee served much, much better by Aquaman, Flash and Cyborg having their own movies to introduce them before hand, but if you just switch your brain off and enjoy the film for what it is you'll be fine.

I was referring to how easy it was for Superman. The other 5 got their ass kicked and then Superman shows up and dominates him

This is a big part of the reason I don't like Superman, he is just way too powerful. It was almost hilarious how easy he just showed up and shut down Steppenwolf.
