I managed to watch it all in one sitting. I don't think I would have liked it as much breaking it into parts. [Reply]
I have tried watching this every night since it came out and the furthest I have made it before passing out is 15 min.
DC needs to give up on live action movies. [Reply]

I started watching the Justice League animated series instead. It's 1000% better. [Reply]

I've just begun watching the DC Lego movies with my youngest and while they're a little silly at times, the stories are generally much more cohesive than the recent DC films.
I started watching the animated Green Lantern series from 2011 and it was surprisingly good and much better than the Ryan Reynolds led feature film. But of course, that certainly wasn't the fault of Reynolds. It was just a bad script and story, IMO.
DC has such a rich history that it's amazing to me how they almost always end up going down the wrong path. Aquaman is really the only exception for me. It's not amazing but it's entertaining and at least has a cohesive story. [Reply]

You should check out their other animated movies. They have several dozen that are a little over an hour long. But really entertaining. Much more adult stuff. A bunch of Justice League titles, Batman titles, Superman titles...

Smart business.
AT&T is running WarnerMedia like they ran Direct TV, which is to say, right into the toilet.
That said, it's difficult for any company to justify spending hundreds of millions of dollars on films that barely break even, especially when films featuring the likes of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman should be automatic winners.
Now, if #RestoreTheSnyderVerse garners 100 million tweets, then maybe there's a discussion to be had but 1 million isn't even a drop in the bucket, especially considering these films cost upwards of $400 million to create and market. [Reply]
Meh, I have no interest in his long term vision. I loved Man of Steel.
He went right off the rails after that. He’s a weird dude.
Yeah I'm not up for it that much. I think I wanted these actors and MOS is still my favorite. I'll continue to hope MOS2 comes out. Until then I'll watch Superman and Lois on CW. Which is actually pretty good. [Reply]
Last night I was tired enough and just looking to mellow out enough that I watched this entire thing. I liked it. I'm not a hard-core super hero guy like most of you here so I don't care about the finite details or how they all relate to the larger universe or whatever.
Batman was good.
The Flash kid was good and funny.
Wonder Woman is a problem for me because I can't stop being dazzled by her striking beauty long enough to notice what she's doing.
Aquaman was Aquaman, the guy is good at the role though I occasionally wonder what it's like to bang Lisa Bonnet when I see him.
Cyborg was cool enough
That's the first time I saw that guy play Superman, thought he was good
Lois Lane I could have done without but she was fine. Who was the dude that faked that he was Clark Kent's mom and came to visit Lois?
Jeremy Irons played a pretty damn good Alfred
The villains were cool
Question: is it a common thing for superheroes to have daddy issues of one type or another?
I've never watched a movie that long but I liked it long enough to watch. I laughed at the balls on them to even include an epilogue that, like the movie, kept going on right when you thought it would end. That Joker character was pretty good. [Reply]
