The Hollywood Reporter released its list of the worst movies of 2017, and “Justice League” took a spot in the rankings.
THR put the movie as the seventh worst movie of 2017. They wrote in part:
The increasingly turgid tales of Batman and Superman — joined, unfortunately for her, by Wonder Woman — trudge along to ever-diminishing returns in this garishly unattractive hodgepodge, which throws a bunch of superheroes into a mix that neither congeals nor makes you want to see more of them in future.
This movie was awful, and I don’t say that lightly. The only two bright spots were Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Jason Momoa as Aquaman.
Being ranked as the seventh worst movie of the year might be merciful. I would have honestly considered putting them at number one. A large portion of that would simply have been because of the expectations and how badly we all were disappointed.
Honestly, I would have probably walked out about halfway through if it were for Gadot’s performance alone. Ben Affleck as Batman was painful to watch. Going from Christian Bale to Affleck is like going from owning a top of the line AR-15 to a High-Point pistol. It was a disgraceful and embarrassing film. There’s just simply no other way to put it.
