I think 2 movies have gotten Fs. Mother is one of them. Don't quote me though - too lazy for research right now.
EDIT - screw it did research. 19 movies got Fs. Mother is one of them.

Some of these movies aren't even full on terrible... Solaris????
I find Marvel films to be compelling, interesting, enjoyable, and memorable.
DC won't ever be "like Marvel" but I would be happy if they found some combination that wasn't annoying or boring.
Wonder Woman was good.

From the sound of it, it seems like people vote that they like almost everything - unless the trailers made it sound like something very different than what it turned out to be (or if it was a pre-2000s horror movie, apparently).
Kind of makes you wish companies would take that knowledge and, I don't know, actually pay attention to it. Unfortunate that films which actually might mean something to people wind up taking the backlash for studios' complete lack of interest in the fact that bait and switch pisses people off.

^ That is not an officially sanctioned poster, but something that was made by one specific Chinese theater chain.
Going tonight.
I gave it a B. Went in with low expectations, which always helps, but overall it was a pretty solid piece of entertainment. Nothing new, really, but some great set pieces, good interplay between the characters and decent performances. If Affleck does quit after this, I’ll be sorry to see him go but at least he had a decent swansong.
Some of the CGI was ropey as hell - you do have to wonder how it was allowed to get by in movie of this standing.
As I said in the review thread, if you’re on the fence about going, I would say you should go but if you’ve given up on the DCEU, this film is unlikely to change your mind.

It's going to be probably another slaughter next year, given how all DCEU has for 2018 is Aquaman against everything MCU and Fox (its last stuff) and Sony is releasing.
It seems like WB has damaged its brand recognition, even saying "It's got Batman and Superman!" isn't enough to draw audiences anymore.

Yes, it does appear that there is a limit to the recognition and goodwill that it brings for even ionic characters.
If they're going to make this work, they need to rethink and retool, and quickly too if they intend to continue in production.
Maybe it would be better if they took a pause and used the time to get it right.
The fucking internet will be on to something else next Tuesday, like pillorying whoever is the latest celebrity Thing, for being a celebrity Thing.
Except it did NOT say Superman...other than the logo in what is actually an awesome tagline, so never even see the logo in any of the trailers...I mean is it REALLY a spoiler that Superman lives????
In my opinion, WB has sabotaged all the good stuff in the D.C. F U with the complaints that get magnified.
And a huge part is entrusting what should be the most accessible character to a guy who focuses on over 18 films...it would have been great for Batman by himself or Suicide Squad...but not for anything Superman related
