Justice League Is Crashing and Burning. Will Anyone Survive?
Weekly Standard ^ | 24 Nov 2017 | Jonathan Last

Posted on 11/25/2017 11:09:56 AM PST by Rummyfan

Wonder Woman will probably make it out okay. But everyone else associated with this movie is toast.

One of the rituals of Thanksgiving weekend is heading out to see a movie. And so, with that in mind, let me do you a mitzvah: Do not see Justice League. Under any circumstances do not go to see Justice League.

Justice League is the movie I’ve been waiting for since I was a kid. It’s the comic book series I loved the most and the team I always wanted to see on the big screen. I say this so that you’ll know my priors. But I also want you to understand that I’ve reached the point in life where even the prospect of a cherished childhood comic book being turned into a movie no longer gives me any great excitement. It’s not cynicism, exactly. It’s just that I understand what I like and I understand the economics of the movie business and so I understand that movies like Justice League aren’t made for people like me. And I accept these basic economic facts.

I like her voice as much as anything else.

She does fit the role quite well also > IMO.

The concept of men being the sole purveyors of evil in the world (secondary premise in the first movie) does get a bit tedious. One only has to look at Merkel to realize that downright evil behavior can emanate from either sex in a position of power.

As far as her looks go, she is a good looking woman. For me she’s not a drop dead beauty, but I can see a lot of folks thinking that themselves. I did like her role in the movie, and there’s a good likelihood she’ll grow on me.

What they ask a woman to do in movie, is as critical as anything else as to how I see her, even if it make-believe.

At least they didn’t wholesale insult me in the movie, other than the men/evil thing.

Is it just me, or do I NOT see a Woman of Color in that cast? (Unless that thing on the left is a “woman”) Who made this movie, Deplorables, Inc?

Marvel will survive. Which really is the problem, DC is trying to be Marvel, they should be DC.

Hasn’t the comic book thing been about done to death?

There is nothing wrong with this movie. MY wife enjoyed it and is looking forward to Aquaman’s solo film.

This movie has warmth, compassion and hope. There is no SJW message here.

The Flash is not portrayed as homosexual. He is a young recluse trying to prove his father is innocent of killing his mother.

He is being portrayed by a Homosexual actor. Homosexuals make up 1.8% of the total population, yet they manage to be cast in about 85% of the movies and television shows.

It's time to stop supporting these industries.

On the other hand I saw Thor last night. What a fun movie.

It was not Gone with the Wind, but it also did not take itself seriously. Worth the time invested.

CWTV Flash Grant Gustin has been a very good Flash for these past seasons.
