Justice League script review

[Showtime]

Clint? Heh... He's more connected than you know with the WB actually. Not saying what he has is the official shooting script but believe me, he's one that is actually connected well.

Especially with a movie being filmed in his backyard.

I didn't know that. I thought it was just someone writing in claiming to have seen it and I dismissed it. But then I saw that Clint wrote it and I took it a lot more seriously.

Re:New Justice League Details- Getting Worse 1 Hour, 5 Minutes ago Karma: 0 This is no joke guys, our report is coming tonight and, well, this is horrible stuff. This script is the real deal. I want to go and punch something...

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

So first it's Al Goughs people toppled Welling's chances for Smallville, then WB released fake information that Welling would be Superman on purpose, now fake scripts are being sent to film sites...that is alot of conspiracy theories.

Elvis and JFK are alive and wrote the new movie which is the shooting script called

"Justice League: The Assasination"

...

W.B. is being stupid. The problem with this films is their one and done; the first is a big hit; but people grow tired of the same "crap". JL will go the FF way and break out and be smash hit; but JL2 well go thr FF2 way and be a huge dissappointment

 

[The Guard]

Read that "review" again. Incredibly inconsistent in their themes and storyline structuring. Crime Syndicate, Max Lord and introducing J'onn J'onnz? And supposedly the OMACS play a role? Not buying it.

The lack of character details in a script review that has PLENTY about the story would tend to indicate it is in fact, not a real review. Two, that is not the Mulroney's writing style at all, not from what little I've seen of them. Three, it doesn't line up with ANYTHING we've heard rumorwise from multiple sources. It smacks of someone who doesn't know how writing works trying to put together a halfway believeable "script" to rile people up.

Although if it does turn out to be real, I didn't hear anything that sounded completely horrible.

The film introduces the main characters very quickly – as if they’re a 42-minute TV show and have to get it done quickly. You don’t get to know much about any of our central heroes before they all unite.

Duh. It's an ensemble film and not, by most accounts, an origin one. Not a huge weak point as characters can be introduced and developed as the film progresses.

The film opens with John Stewart/The Green Lantern leaving space for the beachy surroundings of what’s described in the brief as being a “San Diego” like town – its there that he’ll have to rescue a Submarine crew (I don’t think I’ll give away the finer aspects of the sequences – just to say they could look impressive) from something with “a lot of arms”. We’re next introduced to Aquaman, who spots the leviathan battering a lighthouse. A large-scale skirmish occurs between the sea hero and the sea villain.

Doesn't sound bad at all. But strange that this "Aquaman meeting Green Lantern" scene happens, which doesn't seem to have much at all to do with a larger storyline.

Then, Wonder Woman is introduced – but not before Superman, in a mid-air fight, crashes her scene.

Oh yeah? HOW is Wonder Woman introduced, person who had no problems telling us about the preceeding scene? Why does this scene exist? Given this lack of detail, nothing about this scene sounds awful.

Next, The Flash gets his big intro scene…. Rescuing plainclothes detective Ben Chyre from a ‘ticking’ bear – something ‘the Trickster’ has cooked up. The Flash has a bit of fun with a news crew – says something so fast that they’re unable to use it on air – which might evoke a laugh or two.

Kay. He's The Flash. This doesn't sound horrible either.

We’re introduced to our villain, Max Lord, as he watches a monitor where[what appears to be] Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman etc are ‘’terrorizing a building full of homeless people. Destroying the arches and pulling the supports down…” We then learn that Lord has captured a team of superheroes already – “ULTRAMAN, SUPERWOMAN, OWLMAN, JOHNNY QUICK and POWER RING...” – who he plans to use for his own devious mission : pit them against the “Justice League”.

Wait a minute. Where'd this team of "villains" come from? And am I to believe that WB will use characters named "Ultraman", "Superwoman", "Owlman", "Johnny Quick" and "Power Ring" as the JLA villains? Does anyone actually believe this?

We see the “Hall of Justice” being built – on the outskirts of space – by the team themselves; as well as many “construction robots”. Seems Wayne Industries is footing the bill for it.

Why would the league need to build the hall if there are construction robots? Why would they be building it in space and not on Earth and then launching it? Regardless, building the satellite doesn't sound horrible to me.

Within a couple of minutes, alarm bells ring and the team er, suit up for action. The alarm bells have signalled for a visitor from Mars…. Martian Manhunter, who naturally the team presume is evil at first. The visitor informs the gang that their world is “at an end” and so begins their plight to destroy Lord and the OMACs.

Again, this doesn't sound horrible. However...suddenly the review mentions the OMACS, who this reviewer has yet to mention. At all. Kay...

Look, the film seems pretty underwhelming, sure, but what I think might’ve been their motivation here is to distance themselves from any of the “Superman” or “Batman” films already in existence – which is something the fans will be thankful for – and as this is merely light and fluffy cartoon adventure-stuff, without any of the dark undertones of those other films (largely “Batman”), they’ve definitely succeeded in that.

Again, other than him saying it seems underwhelming without actually mentioning WHY (bad dialogue? Story? Lack of characterization?), nothing horrible here. That's one of the tones JLA needs to have to work.

This will definitely appeal to a much younger crowd than those that say, loved “Batman Begins” – it’ll be one the twelve-years-olds go ga-ga for. In fact, Batman doesn’t even seem to have much of a part to play here – not the pages I read anyway; it’s almost as if he’s a secondary character or Warner have told the producers they can only use a “bit of him” – and definitely isn’t the same Caped Crusader we’ve seen on the screens for the past couple of years.

And the reviewer neglects to say how this Batman differs. Convenient omission, don't you think?

In fact, if this is anyone’s movie it’s The Flash’s… he gets most of the gags, a lot of the action, and seems to have quite a few more scenes- again, in the pages I read – than the others. If the character is cast right – I believe Adam Brody (“the OC”) is the favourite at this stage – he could be the break-out character here…. the one the twelve-year olds want on a T-Shirt.

And...how is this a bad thing?

So all-in-all, “Justice League” won’t be our film – and when I say ‘our’ I mean, commonly anyone considered of adult age – but it will probably be right up the kids’ alley. It’s essentially a live-action version of “Superfriends” – in terms of pace, story and set-up.

But...they never do say WHY they think this script is so horrible. Oh, there's vague mentions of pacing, story and set up, but no concrete examples. Which is why I don't buy it just yet.

 

[The Guard]

But hey, let's all believe Robert Sanchez when he jumps on the bandwagon, who's already been had once this week.

 

[Excel]

Guys they do fake plot points; they do fake stuff to throw people of;f but there are no fake scripts.

Remember how the leaked Batman Begins scirpt was "fake" and then "2/3rds changed"?

They dont go through the trouble of writing and leaking fake scripts just for sake of throwing off fans; let alone they would NEVER release one that got the reception this is.

This IS the real deal; they dont say what sounds bad because its that its BAD; it is that its not GOOD. Its popcorn; theres no depth so theres not really anything in there to judge; but that in itself is what makes it bad.

 

[Paradoxium]

I am actually interested in Stax's reaction. He is a consistent and reliable writer. Wanna see if he corroborates this info.

 

[The Guard]

That's absolute nonsense. If there's a script, then there are actual lines of dialogue that can be quoted. Actual story elements, character moments in the script, bad or good, to be referenced. There's nothing but an incredibly vague story outline to this review so far.

 

[Excel]

They wouldnt leak a script that would get the movie bad buzz with fans; that would be the last thing they want.

 

[Paradoxium]

Clint most likely rushed this out to drive up the traffic on his site. He must be making a killing right now. Garth from DH does tend to cite plot points and character moments... so if he has a copy of a script, you might get what you want.

 

[KBX]

Wait a minute. Where'd this team of "villains" come from? And am I to believe that WB will use characters named "Ultraman", "Superwoman", "Owlman", "Johnny Quick" and "Power Ring" as the JLA villains? Does anyone actually believe this?

So let me get this straight... The WB doesn't want Welling, Routh, and Bale in this movie because it might confuse people yet they are brining in Ultraman, Superwoman and Owlman?

yeah, this script is fake....

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

Again, it's hard for me to argue info that comes from Clint. I mean the guy actually works with WB contacts on movies.

It is incredibly vague and contradictory. I've seen better fake script reviews for TDK.

 

[\S/JcDc\S/]

I believe whether or not it is a shooting script, it is info that was received and not simply made up by Clint. Leak on purpose? Maybe... But not throwing Clint under a bus.

 

[Apollo]

I'm actually looking forward to this film. I really enjoyed happy feet... i wonder if singing and dancing will be involved.

this isnt fake

 

[Paradoxium]

Theoretically, it could have been leaked because the person who leaked thought it sucked so much, that the leak (while a slim slim chance) might kill the project or change direction of the project.

We only need LatinoReview to confirm it.

 

[bunk]

Well forgive me if I take everything at face value at this point.

This leaked for exactly the same reason Abrams Superman and Goyers Batman leaked. Reaction.

This is clearfly a risky and huge project; no way W.B. would ever do it without some idea of how fans would react. If all reviews are universally negative and fan reaction is wide scale horrendous' the films dead in the water.

 

[Jake Cassidy]

I'm starting to truly believe that this bull**** now.

Rob did say he ironically he got some info from "rival" companies

Also stated that WB has leaked false info on purpose....

... Hey if this turns out to be true, Ill be the first to admit I was wrong, but Im banking on its a fake....

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

keep in mind Clint just has certain sections of it, the stuff they send over to prep the FX guys, not the whole thing

 

[Motown Marvel]

assuming this is true: i dont mind something a little more light hearted and fun that will be easy for kids to thoroughly enjoy...but when you get to the point of pandering to kids where anyone over 12 will be turned off by it, then we have a problem.
