Watched the SDCC trailer and saw some pretty significant improvements on the previous trailers, including some really nice, iconic shots of various characters. I liked the reference to "no Lanterns," which tells us that they ARE out there and will show up eventually.There were, of course, still some wince-worthy moments, as well (hello Iron Cyborg and Flash-with-a-still-crappy-outfit).
I'm glad to hear they're doing some reshoots to try and straighten some stuff out, but there's also a wee bit of me that fears they'll take said reshoots too far and turn this into the same, bland, homogenized pablum that MARVEL Studios has been putting out for their last films (courtesy of corporate directives from The Big Mouse, I'm sure.)
JUSTICE LEAGUE is a movie that requires it's own tone and feel because, unlike other super-hero movies, we are dealing with true legends, true giants----Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman---characters who basically birthed the era of the tights and capes and masks. I'm a big fan of both Marvel and DC characters, but whereas Marvel's characters are iconic, DC's characters, at least the big trinity, are ICONS and should be treated as such.
Guess we'll see what happens come November...sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.Comment

Batman-on-Film is shill site. Jett reports what WB marketing wants him to get out. Just like Whedon was "just doing cleanup" was bs from the start, "unwatchable" is more the same.
The change to ATT personnel has started so WB people are desperate to keep their jobs. The JL budget is insane by this point, so why not blame the guy who can't defend himself?
Say what you want about Snyder's choices, but his movies are not unwatchable. We may not like his creative decisions, but the end product is as cohesive as Michael Bay, Furious or any other big studio action film.Comment

I guess what you have to ask yourself is this; if you're watching let's say MOS or BvS, before you criticize too harshly, think if YOU had made the films. Could you have done what Snyder did in the time allotted and with what was, I'm sure, the suits at WB constantly interjecting their two cents?sigpic Oh then, what's this?

I liked Watchmen and won't apologize for doing so-but I don't want to see the classic DCU "Watchmanized."

When I don't give the immensely more talented Nolan a pass, I'm surely not going to give Snyder a pass.
I know what I like from a film director... and I know what film directors I don't like because they have disappointed me with their so-called "talent".

I'll take what you call "same, bland, homogenized pablum that MARVEL Studios has been putting out for their last films" if that's what The Force Awakens and Spider-Man: Homecoming are, any day over what Snyder has wrought upon this film world's superhero fans ANY day.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

I enjoyed Watchmen and 300, Snyder got the tone very right on both of those films.
He's been unsuccessful with Superman to me because it doesn't fit in that "Grimdark, Miller esque" vibe he's in love with. It's like he keeps shoving this cube through a round hole. I'm super bored of Miller influenced Batman, I'd like a new take.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

Me, I'm just marvelling at 'as cohesives as Michael Bay' being intended as a sort-of complement.
The friendliest way I can think to put it is that Mr. Snyder's artistic sensibilities - at root, even before whatever obfuscations the moneypeoples lay on the tracks - are not for me, and, beginning mid-way through my time at a movie theatre during the initial run of 300, I have learned to feel a great sense of disappointment whenever I see that his name is attached to a property that I care about.>>> Looking for a few Bif Bang Pow! pretties.
