\"\"In this week’s new releases, DC Comics greatest heroes take on a disfigured boy, the animals in you nativity set, and critics everywhere.<\/p>\n

\"\"1. Justice League (Warner Brothers, 4,051 Theaters, 120 Minutes, Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence and action, Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer at press time: 39% Fresh<\/a> [228 Reviews]:<\/strong> Oh, DC Extended Universe, what are we going to do with you.<\/p>\n

After a bright and shining entry in the franchise with\u00a0Wonder Woman<\/strong>, one would have had hoped that this film would not be the trainwreck that its appeared to be on paper. However, that Tomatometer score and the criticism in some of the reviews I read makes it seem that I should have listened to my fears and not my hopes.<\/p>\n

But I have seen this story before. Now fans will snipe at the critics and their reviews. People will probably be scared away and the film will not make the $1 billion Warners wants it to make and eventually, I’ll be accused of being on Marvel’s payroll.<\/p>\n

Hold off on your accusations towards me until I get a chance to see it and post my review here, probably before the weekend is over. But if you want to know what FBOL head honcho Rich Drees thought of it, you can read his review here<\/a>. Spoiler: it appears that his check from Marvel was a bit short because he liked it—sorta,<\/p>\n
