Justice Leaguehas officially screened. That meansJoss Whedon, after months of reshoots and a whole lot of retooling, has finally managed to get an assembly cut of the movie together. Unfortunately, everyone that saw the movie had to sign very intense non-disclosure agreements, so full reactions to the movie have not been revealed online. But we do have a single reaction to the movie to go on. And, well, it’s probably not what most of your want to hear.
Comicbook.comwas able to get word from an unnamed individual who attended thisJustice Leaguescreening held by Warner Bros. According to that unnamed person, one of the most highly-anticipated movies of 2017 is “fine.” That’s the extent of reactions that we have at this point and it is just one anonymous reaction. So we can’t really base a lot off of that, but ifJustice Leagueis just “fine,” that isn’t likely to cut it for mostDC fanswho are looking forward to this movie.
Joss Whedon has been hard at work doing additional photography forJustice Leagueever sinceZack Snyder was forced to step downover a personal tragedy. The initial indication was that Whedon was going to handle some standard pickups and usher the movie through the editing process. It has turned out to be much more substantial than that. While Snyder will still retain his directing credit, Whedon did enough work to earn a writing credit forJustice League. After all of the additional work, he has finally managed to get a cut of the movie together that Warner Bros. felt confident enough to screen.
That is the important element here. We aren’t going to see reactions toJustice Leagueonline in the next few days or anything like that, and certainly not from this screening. But after all of the trouble during production, the movie is done. Warner Bros. is very likely going to start screening the movie for critics next month ahead of the November 17 release. Even though additional scenes were still being shot very recently, the studio had no interest in moving the release date and Joss Whedon has a deadline to meet. As for when reactions are going to wind up online? That very well depends on the quality of the movie. IfJustice Leagueis great, expect them sooner. If not, maybe just a few days ahead of the release.
No matter what the result, after a very long time discussing theJustice League movie, its arrival is imminent and Joss Whedon got the job done. Good or bad, he is going to quite responsible for the result. So you may want to consider heaping just as much praise and/or criticism his direction and not just at Zack Snyder and Warner Bros. Let’s just hope that this can keep the DCEU hot streak going afterWonder Woman.
