Once again, a DC movie has failed to live up the hype. At least, that’s what the critics say. Although the common people love the DC’s superhero mashup movie Justice League (84% on Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score), there have been plenty of negative reviews from the critics who called out the movie for “thin characters” and “chaotic action”. One man, however, doesn’t want that kind of negativity in his life. Jason Momoa, who plays Aquaman in the movie, recently spoke to EW and responded to the negative reviews.
“I try to stay the f— away from what people say,” said Momoa. “Some of my friends said, ‘Justice League isn’t doing well’ and it kind of bummed me out. But I didn’t want to look it up. I don’t want to look up the bad and the negativity. I don’t think that’s useful; it doesn’t help.”
Momoa also added that he loves the movie and will watch it again.
“I’ve seen [Justice League] twice. I loved it the second time even more. I’m actually going to watch it again with my kids and my godchild. I’m going to see it with the perfect crowd of people — a regular crowd instead of at a premiere. So I’m excited.”
Although it has been one of the most anticipated movies of the year, Justice League didn’t only fail with the movie critics, but also on the box office. The movie opened with the $94 million, which is considerably less compared to other DC movies who received even worse reviews. For comparison, Suicide Squad opened with $39 million more than the Justice League, and don’t get us started on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice which earned $166 million on the opening weekend. Justice League probably will be a big box office hit, but certainly not as big as Warner Bros. hoped.
