Holy shit.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

It depends on box office like always. No one gives a shit about reviews other than how they affect box office. If audiences like it, than reviews are meaningless. See greenlights for Transformers 5-7 when the past three films barely crack 70% on RT when you combine their scores.

It'll be interesting to watch. I suspect it's going to open so huge everywhere in the world that'll crack $1 billion easily, but it could still has such a middling commercial reception that WB feels compelled to retool their franchise. Similar to how Spider-Man 3 made nearly $900M back in 2007 but still didn't spawn a sequel.

FUCK ME

 

[freethoughtbubble]

Those review quotes are so ambiguous and contradictory

So, the superhero escapism genre is in dire need of a break, but audiences should reject this for being more of a philosophical drama?

Also, Marvel, the sole culprits of superhero exhaustion (if that's even a thing), can rest easy because they'll be the ones to finish driving the genre into the ground?

I'm going to see this anyway. Fuck the critics lol

Lol what? Critics and audiences like Marvel's movies. That's the secret to this whole thing: quality. DC needs to get some and fast.

 

[Hoo-doo]

I nearly choked on my drink.

Wow... did Snyder sacrifice all the puppies in the world while filming this?

 

[Creamium]

Wait, Duncan Jones was in the running for this?

why

 

[Seesaw15]

32% Its all good now

 

[AmaterasuOni]

So about that 800 million dollars it needs to make for breaking even...

Well, it's really not happening.

 

[The Illiterati]

This is really sad. I've thought the trailers were terrible but I never hope to be right. Especially for such a big film in which I sort of feel forced to see out of obligation. I know that sounds stupid to say, but we're all going to see this rotten thing anyway aren't we?

 

[Nokterian]

 

[Ashodin]

Amazing Spiderman 2 did not "shine with narrative cohesion".

I'm saying Justice League should be better.

32% we bout to eat fam

 

[Tabby]

Uhh it's 29% though?

 

[Lashley]

Wow... did Snyder sacrifice all the puppies in the world while filming this?

They...They aren't real reviews

 

[Alandrus Sun]

You can't blame Berlanty for that, the studio butchered the original script which many people have commented was amazing.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Wait, Duncan Jones was in the running for this?

why

Wait, what?!

 

[DrGonzo615]

How do you go from such positive first impressions from Grace and such to this? I'm honestly confused here.

Early impressions are always good, no matter how shit the movie is.

 

[Poodlestrike]

5/20 is not 9, RT go back to school.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Again, not that it's much better, but the percentage hasn't updated. Should be 25% with that positive/total split.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

I'm saying Justice League should be better.

32% we bout to eat fam

Not with the same people behind the camera it wont.

I can't stop laughing.

 

[SmithnCo]

Is it too late to kick Goyer off The Sandman

 

[orthodoxy1095]

"Not fun" doesn't mean Marvel quips.

Nolan Batman movies are fun to watch, even with a dour tone, there's energy in the filmmaking, there's personality.

If this is 3 hours of dudes pontificating interspersed with overblown CGI battles, then that isn't fun.

Thank you.

 

[VanWinkle]

I'm going to guess it will go up to 50% by the time all is said and done.

 

[Ashodin]

Going to get to 50%, I bet

 

[Corpsepyre]

I was going to sleep, but I can't now. Fuck this! Positive initial reception, my ass!

I feel this....sinking feeling, that it's done. DC Cinematic Universe is over with.

 

[Rooster12]

Oh shit...32% now lol

 

[shira]

Only one man can save the DCCU now

They going to need a boatload of dumptrucks full of money now.
Like all of the monies. Like multibillions.

 

[KahooTs]

Is them canning Snyder for the next film an actual possibility?

 

[Theorry]

Watching some YT reviews from non big sites. And alot really seem to love it.

So about that 800 million dollars it needs to make for breaking even...

Well, it's really not happening.

Well, we don't know that yet. It could be a transformers situation where the audience doesn't care.
It's definitely making money first weekend though.

 

[Chezzymann]

Oh shit...32% now lol

Starting to get hyped

 

[Angry Grimace]

That being said, this movie is not going to bomb. It'll do just fine.

I wouldn't underestimate just how much money this film cost in production costs alone. It could easily open No. 1 and still lose money.

 

[Loxley]

Part of me wishes this was real :lol

 

[OSHAN]

I see the game they are playing. Start this shit at 11% and have it climb to 38%; you're now thinking "Damn 38% that's not that bad!"

 

[VanWinkle]

At 37% now.

 

[El Topo]

Eh. I'm still going to watch it for my birthday tomorrow. Can't be worse than Pacific Rim.

 

[Darkgran]

Three years in the making......

 

[Nokterian]

29% now on RT.

 

[-griffy-]

It shows 37% for me now, but that doesn't match the split either. Site is being bombarded with reviews so the percent and actual number of reviews are gonna update erratically for a bit.

 

[Joel Was Right]

This is going to resemble Man of Steel's rating that sits around 50%. But ultimately, nobody refers back to the RT rating when discussing that film. Eventually, people here will see this film and then perhaps we can discuss the meat and bones of it, particularly the writing and pace.

Until then, this is just a silly game of "lols".

 

[rokkerkory]

damn yikes lols
