Welcome back to The UnPopular Opinion! The UnPopular Opinion features different takes on films that either I hated, but that the majority of film fans loved or vice versa. We have always hoped this column will promote constructive and geek fueled discussion. Now, with us entering the visual world, you can get pissed off in a whole new medium!
This week, in honor of the early Oscar buzz for Todd Phillips' JOKER, I decided to take a look at DC's maligned JUSTICE LEAGUE. While Zack Snyder and Joss Whedon jockeyed to make a film that could hold it's own opposite Marvel Studios, things just didn't work out critically or at the box office. Well, despite the fact it is the last time we will see Ben Affleck as Batman and (maybe) Henry Cavill as Superman, JUSTICE LEAGUE got a raw deal and should be reconsidered as a fun blockbuster.
Oh, and if you have any suggestions for The UnPopular Opinion I’m always happy to hear them. You can send along an email to alexmaidy@joblo.com or spell it out in the comments below. Provide me with as many movie suggestions as you like, with any reasoning you'd care to share, and if I agree then you may one day see it featured in this very column!
