Justice League Zack Snyder’s Justice League - Rotten Tomatoes/Critical Reception Thread

[kguillou]

I think the word "slog" is one we will hear recurring through several reviews. The runtime is going to be a major detractor for a lot of these guys.

A four hour movie about finding magic boxes? Lol. Ok, “professional critic.”

That would be almost as unwatchable as a 3 hour movie about finding magic stones...

Just occurred to me that comic book epics basically sound like platform games like Rayman or Mario.

And now I want a four hour Rayman movie.

Oh god i'm a Big Rayman fan, especially the second game from N64, darker and very burtonian. Let's Hope WE get a movie one day (and also Rayman 4 for god's sake).

70 > 66 if my math checks out correctly

We did it bros!

How did JL get 66?

I didn't watch it (and I never will), but from what I have heard...it's pretty bad, no?

But nice.

I just read an article citing as overwhelmingly positive:
ZACK SNYDER'S JUSTICE LEAGUE: First Social Media Reactions Land Early And They're Overwhelmingly Positive

In the end who cares what bandwagon negativity is perpetuated? The mods on these forums never really have been a fan of anything Snyder so no surprise there as is the case with 2014-2018 Feige zombies as well.

The BFCA are typically a softer group than the ones aggregated by Metacritic. The theatrical JL was 45 on Metacritic and 40% on RT. The critical consensus was basically "still not good, but at least it's more enjoyable than BvS."

For reference, the Critics Choice score for WW84 was 71, while it's 60 on Metacritic and 59% on RT.

Cancellation culture at it's finest.

Critics choice website says voting in progress. No score when I viewed the website. Weird.

They do that pretty regularly. I'm guessing that message comes up when they're in the process of adding more scores.

What are you talking about?

Critics Choice update. It's going up....

 

[Comicbookguy339]

I have never heard of this critics' choice aggregator before just now.

 

[heatvision38]

I'm cool, I'm cool. All's calm here.

It's just the Broadcast Film Critics Association. We usually watch it before big releases because SOME of the critics in that group are also RT critics and it starts showing up before RT, so it give us an idea of what the RT might look like. But again, its score usually skews higher than RT and Metacritic, so that's something to keep in mind. Still, this is looking like it may have an MoS-esque critical reception, which ain't bad for Snyder.

Incoming 100% RottenTomatoes, next stop: Best Picture nomination.

“Best four hour movie since Gone with the Wind”

 

[Marvolo]

My original prediction for RT was 10% - 20%, but with that Critics Choice score I'm going to cautiously update my prediction to 40% - 50%.

On the other hand, this could be a fresh haze we are seeing. I suspect a number of negative critics won't even bother watching this, and other negative critics won't be in a rush to submit reviews like other more positive and open minded critics. It could take a while to get a full picture of this film's reception.
