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.

She may be but she’s liplocked with a couple of other gals.

Just saw the Wonder Woman movie over Thanksgiving (didn’t pay to see it - a friend streamed it for free somehow). Thought it was utter dreck. Crappy CGI veneer over a stupid plot and mostly bad acting. Glad I didn’t pay to see it.

Flash is a fag. And Batman serves no purpose next to a demigod. White Aquaman was diversified. DC is lost.
