Warner Bros had better recruit friendly critics for screening, otherwise there are critics ready to demolish Justice League. Already, I am foreseeing phrases like too dark, too serious, tonally inconsistent, not as good as marvel's avengers and too much CGI.

All the views are shallow and not well thought out. The author is playing along with the recent criticisms of Dceu, He didn't state anything new.

In dawn of justice movie, That dream Bruce Wayne was having when he was trying to decrypt the data he stolen from lex Luthor. Some guy on red whom I believe to be flash was asking him to find them and that him (bruce) was right abt someone.

That's one of the many confusing things about bvs. Having a dream within a dream, what the heck does that even mean?

It wasn't exactly a dream from the way I interpreted that scene. It was Bruce remembering an event from an alternate post-apocalyptic future where Darkseid and Superman ruled the earth without impunity. Let's just say that those events actually happened and when Bruce recalled those memories. The appearance of Flash from the future on the other hand may or may not be related to that same post-apocalyptic event. Unfortunately, the post-apocalyptic memories of Bruce and the appearance of Flash are useful plot devices in BVS for amplifying the fear of Superman in Bruce, leading to the eventual fight between them.

I read some news yesterday that Cyborgs story and character was being lightened up in the reshoots. They said he was too dark and moody in character. But what did they expect him to be? Fun, Joyous and hopeful?. No human being would go through the pain Cyborg went through and be happy. He lost his limbs through a devastating accident and they were replaced with alien robotic suit. He should be more emotional than Superman, in my opinion. I just hope we aren't getting that hippy Cyborg from Teen Titans after these reshoots. Warner Bros is too reactionary!

WB are running a company, one thats among the big 6 in Hollywood , like it or not they are competition with other studios like or not the mcu is a rival to dceu like or not the mcu is ahead like or not mos and bvs underperformed at the bo. Like it or not critics matter audiences matter, if the general audience wants a bit more light hearted movies and the studio can do that without messing up the overall plot, then why not ....... Am not saying i want a movie like gotg2 in dceu, god no but a little humor as in ww and ss without letting down the message is ok with me.... WB are all about profit and have to take the most profitable route.... Lets wait and see jl and aquaman first....

a little hum0r when the hum0r itself doesn't make sense? God, if jl is anything like WW then am d0ne with the dceu. M0s had lots of hum0r and that was in scenes when it made sense. One only needed to be intelligent to point them out. Turning JL into a c0medy fest shows WB didn't think this universe through. Forget the mcu, the only way WB can hope to c0mpete with disney is to bring variety n0t a cl0ne of the product. Who'd want to buy fanta if water had the same taste as it?

There's s0mething called character development, you just d0n't jump into making cyborg the happy go lucky guy when he just survived an accident in the worst possible way imagined, and to top that, him having family issues. Dude, i prefer how the dceu started, we d0n't need inc0nsistencies right after 3 films without showing progressi0ns to it being so.

youre getting it all wrong no one is saying the dceu should turn to the formulaic mcu but humour is an important part of cbm's i have a lot of dc comics and they are very humourous even batman gives sarcastic one liners ......

One of main strong points of wonder woman was how it balanced its humour not too much but enough to make the movie enjoyable, if you think the humour in ww was done wrong am sorry but you're wrong.....

logan is different that film was the perfect adaptation of the character, titanic is not a lighthearted story same with lord of the rings ..... DC CHARACTERS ARE NOT DARK read a comic book am sick of ppl saying they are not lighthearted cause they are.... I like the dceu and the modern representation of supes by snyder but supes has never been a gritty character... The tone of the character determines the tone of the movie because if you're looking for a serious and dark shazam then youre not serious nd if youre looking for a fun and lighthearted batman or watchmen....

Warner Bros is just sick. Lord of the rings, Harry potter and DCEU are their most successful franchises. Unfortunately, they want to ruin DCEU projects because of their hunger for money. They had better learn from Universal pictures' failure in 2017. They already ruined Suicide Squad with no director to continue the narrative. It's so sad that they are losing directors for DCEU projects because of their distorted vision and mispriorities. I believe everything has gotten worse since Geoff John came on board. This is someone who has little knowledge of film-making but only knows DC characters. I just hope they don't dumb down JL and Aquaman.

I personally think Wonder Woman was just a notch above Suicide Squad. Both movies were weak and childish especially in the third act. In terms of motives and Philosophy, WW was just slightly better. Cinematography of WW was superior also. I will still place MOS and BVS above WW, not minding their box office returns.

I think Shazam should both be funny and realistic. As a child, he should be portrayed as both naive, funny and happy. But the true origin of Shazam started from Black Adam's timeline which should be very dark and serious in portrayal. I once watched a dark episode of Justice League where Shazam and Superman fought bloody over leadership roles. There are many variations of this character in the comics. I think the director should be very careful with his funny approach, otherwise we might end up having "Hancock" in our hands.

Do you realise that there was a recent Superman movie in 2006 that bombed financially (even with solid critical ratings) with a margin of over $250 million from MOS? Infact, Snyder's version of Superman is now one of the most successful and gradually becoming a cult classic.

the fact that the Superman returns movie was stupid does not give mos the right to gross less than 700 mil with a budget of over 200 mil and the 3rd most popular and loved superhero in the world i loved mos but i dont give excuses it underperformed....

Let me add that the 2006 Superman returns was modelled after the beloved Christopher Reeves portrayal, a cheesy Superman. Funny enough, the movie still bombed like a pack of cards. The same useless critics complained that Snyders should have used Reeves' approach for Cavill. Might I also mention that BVS Bluray sales is still among the top 50 in 2017. Talk about underperformance.

Very few care about the blu ray sales of BvS. BvS should have crossed the 1 billion dollars mark. The more reason I'm concerned for JL. Anything below 1 billion dollars is failure for JL.
