I'm surprised they haven't come here to continue their trolling and hate on this movie like it was yesterday. Even the Justice League board on here is dead and the ones for the other DCEU movies. Or maybe they don't know about this forum?
I'm impressed with how they made it look just like the old IMDb message boards.
I won't believe for a second that those Marvel trolls decided to finally get lives after the IMDb message boards were shut down. Seeing their old threads on here brings back memories. -

Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear
I thought that you'd want what I want
Sorry, my dear!
But where are the trolls?

Please rate my Justice League review out of 10.
“I've got Heat on DVD at home. We're watching this, when for less money we could be watching Robert de Niro and Al Pacino"
A mere couple of weekends past I took the gf out to the cinema. She was offered the stupendous array of merriment available at Cineworld which was Justice League, Thor or Paddington 2. She chose this; more fool her for not choosing Paddington 2. Ironically, a local ‘filmhouse’ was showing the remastered version of Heat the same night, though I realised this too late. More fool me.
Let me state my position on this splurge fest of excrement unequivocally: this is the most awful ‘movie’ I have ever seen in my life. Typically, the superhero genre is one known for pouring out gastric leakage like no other. Aside from Nolan’s Godlike TDK Trilogy, Watchmen, parts of X-Men and some of Daredevil (particularly the Punisher subplot), it’s a genre that personifies Hollywood with great aplomb: intrinsically stupid, juvenile and formulaic.
Events started off with ‘Batman’ being attacked by some sort of flying monster. You can imagine my sheer confusion here! My recent previous exposure to Batman was seeing the magnificent Christian Bale playing a grounded, troubled and ultimately human character engulfed in inner turmoil regarding his fight for the greater good. Nolan made the historically embarrassingly pathetic superhero genre believable, engaging and relevant to not only a more adult, intellectual audience; but to quite literally any able minded cinema goer. What’s going on here? Jesus wept.
And continuing this theme, for this review shall be sparse on many specific details given I can remember virtually nothing of the horrific experience, Affleck should hang his head in shame – or better yet just hang himself – for attaching himself to this monstrosity. Affleck is someone I consider capable and he has been attached to some good work. However, here he just wasn’t Batman at all – he was a pansy wearing a cape. He looked like he had gubbed a good gram of valium before setting foot on stage, which was ironic because I felt similarly after forcing myself through the experience.
There was lots of ridiculous CGI, flying pixies and monsters, and you’d be forgiven for wondering why the **** these supposed superhero characters had been mongolised into appearing in some sort of bizarre World of Warcraft movie. There was also a magic box, but nothing really seemed to mean anything. My previous exposure to this god-awful ‘universe’ had been 30 minutes of Man of Steel, but I don’t think I missed a beat because there simply was no characterisation, plot development or anything here involving creative thought. The antagonist was some level 40 goblin, though I can’t recall anything about him or what on earth he’s meant to represent. Who was he? What does he stand for? Who ****ing cares? There was absolutely no discernible plot and it felt like some sort of weird Japanese cartoon. Random events happened that seemed jumbled up with little consequence. It was like lots of little vignettes filmed by different directors who hadn’t communicated with each other. Cohesion was as lacking as quality and direction. Superman appeared and Henry Cavill’s performance was about 40 years out of date, leading nowhere.
The basic premise in a superhero movie is there’s some sort of doomsday scenario and the good guys save the day. However, I wasn’t quite clear what exactly they were trying to save here? No fictional universe seemed to exist. We briefly saw a family and that was basically it. Aside from that all we saw was the main characters and pitiful CGI nonsense. At no point did there seem to be any ramifications to the level 40 overlord winning the day. The end of the world? What world?
The only passes from me were how hot Wonder Woman is and a somewhat bad ass scene where Jason Momoa slugs a bottle of whisky and stomps off to the ocean. Slim pickings, folks. I’ll take what little pleasure I can from life. Not so long ago I watched Dunkirk in the same cinema and it was a masterful production of tightly constructed emotion, drama and mesmerising performances. To have this monstrosity airing after it just bastardised it. A masterclass of filmmaking with perfect editing, cohesion and direction. This is the polar opposite.
Nobody involved in the production of this movie could claim with any sincerity that this was intended to be in any way good. I refuse to believe that every single person was inline with its subatomic thought process. In 1967 Mel Brooks created ‘The Producers’, a movie about a play deliberately intended to be woeful. In 2017 we seem to have streamlined the process into creating the movie itself to be deliberately awful.
When I was a child there was an unfortunate chap named ‘William the Window Licker’. Frankly, I doubt he would have found this engaging enough to capture his interest. And this was a fellow who found a bus window endlessly engaging. There was an unwrit -

It's safe here. There were scary socks and feeling of being threatened. I didn't make another IMDb Parody Board. I made topics for things like racism.
