I don’t know how the movie will turn out, but I’m already sick of all the people who are making jokes about this movie for being advertised as dark. While I’m not super familiar with the original Kipling stories, isn’t JB supposed to be dark? Seriously, just because Batman v Superman failed doesnt mean that movies can’t be dark ever again.

Since Deadpool is currently what everyone is talking about, I figured I’d pull up this (https://mobile.twitter.com/WarnerBrosCA/status/997580082783940608?ref_src=twsrc^tfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fscreenrant.com%2Fteen-titans-go-deathstroke-deadpool%2F) for anyone who’s interested. As I said before, it definitely seems safe to say that this movie is essentially supposed to be Deadpool for kids, which is funny when you consider that the character Deathstroke is no more kid friendly than Deadpool. Hell, he’s actually darker in some ways.

But as you said, the JL one wasn’t an official trailer that was released in theaters. -

Since filming is apparently supposed to be done soon, does that mean we’ll get an official teaser trailer alongside Aquaman at Comic Con? Studios generally don’t release official theatrical trailers for two movies from the same franchise on the exact same day, do they? -
Do we really have to get into a political argument about this movie? It was bad enough when people on the Alt-Right tried to claim that Black Panther is an Alt-Right film (because those people apparently never saw the ending of the film), but do we really need to have this film being viewed as some kind of GamerGate-esque monstrosity?

I found the movie to be pretty enjoyable. The pop culture references, while not the least bit subtle, weren’t as obnoxious as you would expect them to be, and there were definitely some classic blockbuster vibes from the whole thing. This movie is probably about as good as a film based around “I clapped! I clapped when I saw it” possibly could be.

I’m surprised no one has mentioned this yet, but THR is reporting that the movie is expected to make around $45-50 million OW. Perhaps there’s still hope that this film could end up performing like Kong: Skull Island? https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-preview-steven-spielbergs-ready-player-one-eyes-45m-50m-bow-1097905

I have to admit, I’m impressed by how many positive reviews the movie is getting. When the reviews first started coming out a couple of weeks ago, I assumed that the best case scenario for this movie would be in the 70% range, but it’s currently at an 84% with a 7.3 average rating. Granted, the movie isn’t even at 100 reviews yet, so it could very well plummet to the 70s within the next couple of days, but it’s impressive how well the movie is holding on. Here’s hoping the reviews for this movie can translate into some solid box office numbers. This March has been a pretty dead month for new releases.
