Justice League Tanks !

Note: Due to a tech problem our last Live show still needs to be updated. Stay Tune.
Holy Wipe out at the box office. Many articles all dedicated to JL, blog still in progress.

Mini-Review:
JL 3 out of 5: It wasn't that bad. Different tones to be expected due to 2 different directors. Way better than BvsS. My main problem that the whole film was too damn dark. Budget couldn't afford light bulbs? But this had many good moments and the whole cast shined considering all the damn cuts.
Please read the following articles for my take on tidbits on what went wrong.

Update:

Talk about insult to injury. DCU is hoping that the box office will pick up for JL for Thanksgiving weekend. And already SW is bragging how much it will clear for their opening. Ouch.

You know it's bad when one of the crew jumps in and wants to see a Directors cut. Wait after this weekend then we are going to see what happens with the DC universe. If they can't get JL off teh ground and Wonder Woman is their biggest hit of the year, somebody is getting fired big time.

This is just plain embarrassing. So what happened? Fans are getting tired of being burned with reshoots and recuts. BvsS, SS, Rogue One, rumours of the Han solo movie,. seeing a trailer and half the scenes are  missing from the movie. Again Rogue One is still the biggest sin, that Tie Fighter scene. More below but what does this mean for JL2 ? Well the title is poison that's for sure. Another version from the Comics is Flashpoint, and that should be the right direction. And never mind that post credit scene. We don't need Eisenberg's Luthor back. Totally miscast. Shame about Deathstroke.

It's amazing how they can get this wrong. Too many cooks in the kitchen. Now ind you Director Weadon was hired to fix this but again tere was interfering from the studio aka micro management. Tha's what happened with Avengers Ultron and Weadon had to take the blame. Notice a pattern here?

They did it BvsS so why not. All that deleted footage is all over the internet so why not spend that extra money and give the fans what they want. For me BvsS they should have taken out more footage as most of it was unwanted crap. But like I said with Suicide Squad there is a good movie in there somewhere. So this needs to be rescued one way or another.

Why just admit it and say it's an alternate universe and that will solve that canon mess.
Spores, Ugly Klingons, and a chick name Mike. No thank you: Orville: The Next Next Generation.

While I have to admit Director Branagh did a great job on directing and starring in the Express, even tho it didn't need a remake, I'm surprise about the sequel. The original Death on a Nile was a total bore so maybe Kenneth could bring some life to that story. So this should be a notch better.
