Sales here are alright I guess but nothing exceptional (still some okay seats left in the first showing which normally would be close to or already sold out by now). Thinking maybe $110M tops. Not sure if BvS hurt it, maybe Thor took the steam out and now people rather spend money on Star Wars in December and skip JL altogether. Stinks as it is looking likely this won't sniff even Suicide Squad.

Hated just about everything about this movie, far too slow for my liking with absolutely zero suspense and one-dimensional characters. Just all in all disappointed since I like Sofia Coppola. *½/*****, (D, 3.2/10, 1/4)

Let this happen, want to see Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Batman!

Very true. But with so many movies that The Rock is attached to, I have to wonder what number this is in that long line

I normally don't care about a writer's credits as normally several are involved with these projects, often uncredited, but his hiring doesn't exactly evoke confidence, but who knows. It's a first draft and I'm sure someone else will come in and do another run at it since this isn't going to come out, if at all, for another 5+ years I suspect given The Rock's schedule and the studio seeing how Shazam does.

Agreed. I'm thinking Warner really wants Zemeckis but maybe he won't commit until he's done filming The Women of Marwen.

Never thought about him, but seems to be a nice pick. After seeing Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation (far better than it deserved to be), I have some trust in Sandberg. FYI: If you anyone picks up the Annabelle: Creation Blu-ray, check out the 42-minute featurette showing Sandberg's directing style (interaction with the actors, etc). Really worthy watching.

Incredibly unfunny throughout. Didn't care for the characters and Tiffany Haddish, who has gotten a lot of praise, was absolutely obnoxious. */*****, (F, 2.0/10, 1/4)

IDK, other than Shazam, DC doesn't exactly have anything else ready. But maybe they want to get The Batman and Wonder Woman 2 done before diving into a story like Flashpoint. Of course, if Affleck is gone, Flashpoint coming before The Batman might be beneficial... Anyway, hopefully Zemeckis gets the gig. As for the writer, I think we focus too much on that. Something tells me King Arthur's script was tinkered with by not only Ritchie but by the studio. Who knows how many uncredited writers were on that project.

Yeah, that was dumb. At least in the comic book Clark was "trapped" in a bunker with plenty of food and water to survive for however much time before Superman came back. Of course, they also killed off Jimmy Olsen also in BvS.

Then by all means, when the next one comes out, call the police and have the person forcing you at gunpoint to see it arrested.

The only other one that could go into production would be Justice League Dark. Someone like Joe Carnahan would probably work. OTOH, they recently hired a writer to re-write the script as the studio weren't satisfied with what a couple directors pitched. I think Warner is going to wait for Zemeckis for The Flash; Reeves will get all the time he wants to get a script for The Batman (and eventually re-casting) and I can't see that going into production in time for a 2019 release, but I suppose it could happen depending on how far along they are with the script.

IDK, seems to be a solid resume. Pride and Glory was fine but it's been many years since I saw it and any problems Jane Got a Gun had wasn't his fault since he was brought in literally the day after the original director left. Oh, and Warrior and The Accountant were damn good movies, one person brought up The Accountant was basically like a superhero movie, dark origin and all.

Doubtful on Suicide Squad 2 in 2019. Justin Kroll said Fall 2018 to begin production given Will Smith's busy schedule. I mean, I guess they could look at a November or December 2019 but I would think April 2020 might be a better fit. At least this gives him time to write a good script.

I hate found footage movies so this had one strike going against it from the get-go, add in an utterly dull hour plus and an ending that doesn't justify sitting through the entire thing. */*****, (F, 2.1/10, 0.5/4)

Given how long that's been gestating, he could do Suicide Squad 2 and then MGS.

Seems like Superman will be in more of these solo movies that's not his own. Umberto teased in his twitter account of The Flash and Superman racing so either we get a scene of the two racing in Justice League or, more likely, he's going to be a part, perhaps big, in Flashpoint.

I think someone like Jordan Vogt-Roberts could do this movie. Did a good job with Kong: Skull Island.

Spoiler alert: It's not going to be good. Evidence: Just about every video game adaptation to ever be released. Don't get me wrong, I want it to be good but not giving my hopes up.

No hovering for me, I hated this movie. Was in utter pain during the last hour or so. Got tired/annoyed with the fish bowl-like camera lens and very much had a seen this before with To the Wonder which also was awful. Lots of twirling around, jumping on beds, walking down suburban streets, etc. Only 'good' thing I can say is the performances were all bad, but my god I had a tough time sitting through this dreck. ½*/*****, (F, 1.1/10, 0.5/4)

Song to Song (2017)

Eh, I can't stand the commercials. Just comes across as hokey and trying way too hard to get award recognition.

You mean quoting me before it was known he wasn't going to be in Shazam?

Takes itself way too serious but unintentional hilarious. Could've been good, with an interesting message, if handled well, but it wasn't. *½/*****, (D, 3.0/10, 1.25/4)

I liked it but wish they didn't show the villain so much. Hopefully this means we will see Darkseid in the movie.
