Whats wrong with moviegoers?
So, I've watched Justice League almost immediately after Thor Ragnarok, I think they were just a couple of weeks apart. I prefer DC to Marvel, but mostly I'm a huge comics fan.
Thor is currently 8.0 on imdb, JL is 6.8. This is absurd, Thor is a far lesser movie than JL. Guardians of the galaxy 2 was also a lot worse. It seems Marvel managed to reach a point were anything they do is good, and DC (because of the Dark Knight series, maybe?) can't do anything wright. I reckon after BvS, I had higher expectations to a JL movie. The 8 reflects a bit that disappointment, has a DC fan I wanted a 10. The run time of just 120 min really threw me off. So, after watching, It actually seemed a good DC movie (even with the director's problems), and well paced. It's not has good has BvS, but it's not bad, at all. I reckon each character could have had a standalone movie first (including Batman - and also, the entire decision of going with a older Batman was also a disappointment to me, might have made sense to a BvS story line, but on JL not really), but this small, easy in the eye, JL, might have been a good contribution to just that, and to a larger, bigger assembly movie in the future.
If you have no affinity to DC, you probably didn't like BvS, and you'll probably not like JL. Thor is just a comedy (and a quick way to kill off unwanted characters for infinity war), so probably anyone will like it (specially on drugs).
But is not DC's fault there are almost no good blockbuster movies anymore for you to see.
