Marvel continues to be better than DC at making films, with the occasional exception such as "Wonder Woman" aside.

I’ll watch it on DVD in six months when the library has its free copy.

the DC suits and management are clueless.

zero continuity.

no adherence to any cannon.

total indifference to anything not politically correct.

(note: no truth justice and the American way)

DC is scared of marvel. fear. That is why they botched the plot and storyline of wonderwoman. (dc was afraid of captain America)

there are going to be THREE separate joker movie versions.

When you have Ben Affleck as Batman, and a SJW playing Superman how can you lose? What they forget is the popularity of these fictional characters is based on their upholding American justice and American values. They don’t really fit in today’s culture of coddled victimisation and increasingly queer values.

My wife, 14 year old grandson and I saw it last night. All of us thought it was great. Word of mouth will help this movie. BTW, saw the new Thor recently; I liked it too but my wife liked JL better than Thor.

I am very happy I have lived long enough to see the comic books of my youth made into movies that aren’t big disappointments.

Let’s see how it trends next week when the holidays are here, kids are out of school, and mom wants to get rid of them for a few hours to cook/clean/recover/shop.

Personally, I think the downward trend is because of the over saturation of these types of movies, combined with the hype surrounding “The Last Jedi”. Also, having to spend $15 or more to see it at a reasonable hour, when the XD and 3D versions are all that’s shown except for the “regular” in the dinkiest theater they have.

Until Hollywood gets back to writing good scripts and putting a good story on the screen that will draw people to the theaters, their day is done.

They might also try telling their actors and directors and producers to shut up about politics. They are actors not politicians. Driving away fans because they are too self-centered to see the big picture from the outside looking in. Much like the kneeling NFL whiners lately. Cutting their noses off to spite their faces. And they don't seem to realize it. Yet.

When Hollywood just spends $300 million for an enhancement of some comic book heroes, they're headed down hill fast. Comic books? That's all they got? Even if their target audiences are young kids, even kids nowadays are more sophisticated than comic books. Hollywood needs to up their game quite a ways yet.

I know that movies are make-believe but now they are making make-believe movies about make-believe comic books that have make-believe heroes who are not the least believable in these make-believe films.

People have wised up and are fed up with the overpriced, under performed and delivered entertainment they are serving up nowadays.

Too many bad reviews, too much competition, too much trying to copy the competition. DC should do what DC is good at, Marvel is the shared universe company, DC is the silod story telling company. Be DC.

Don't listen to the so called "critics".

We saw it today, the movie was well done, plot was solid, enough character development and back story on the bad guy/threat for the audience. Just as good if not better than most of the predictable schlock MARVEL/Disney has been peddling and definitely better than Thor Ragnock, which we also saw.
