IGN: Did you work on the Joss Whedon portion of filming that's been going on or were you strictly on the Zack Snyder portion of the shoot?
Joe Morton: No, I did some reshoots with Joss.
IGN: Can you say what's different? Is there's any difference in tone?
Morton: Well, the stuff that I had to do were just really small little bits and pieces, nothing necessarily having to do with tone. I know that with Ray [Fisher], the young man who plays Victor, there were some adjustments that they made in terms of the tone of that character. I think what I heard was that there was a need from the studio to lighten up the film in a way, that the film felt too dark. I don't know what that meant in terms of how it actually got translated in terms of the reshoots but that's what I heard. That's what I thought some of the reshoots were about.

Just fucking fire Zack Snyder or sponsor him a glaucoma operation...

It's widely believed this is his last DCEU film as director.

Official reviews for Justice League will remain top secret until next week, but Warner Bros. is cool with critics talking on Twitter.
The ensemble flick is a pivotal movie for the DCEU, and hopes are high that it can right the many of wrongs of last year's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad. Patty Jenkins is widely credited for putting the DC movie universe on the right track with this year's critically acclaimed blockbuster Wonder Woman, and the success of that flick prompted the braintrust at DC to rework Justice League to be more "hopeful."
However, director Zack Snyder (who also directed Batman v Superman) stepped away mid-production after a family tragedy, prompting The Avengers director Joss Whedon to handle reshoots.
But critics are relatively pleased with Justice League, although they say it's more like a step in the right direction than a masterpiece.
Quote:
Erik Davis of Fandango said the movie is better than Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad. "It's lean, mean, and packed with superhero action," he said. "I think it has one of the best action sequences ever in a DCEU movie."
Quote:
Germain Lussier from Gizmodo was a little less impressed. "It's okay," he said. "Narratively it's a mess, the stakes don't work, and the villain isn't great. However, the heroes are great, it's funny, and there's some surprisingly effective character work. I didn't love it, but there are enough good pieces to excite me for the future."
Quote:
Conner Schwerdtfeger of CinemaBlend had similar thoughts. "Justice League is clunky and uneven as hell, but it also gets the characters right and has a lot of fun along the way," he said. "It's a very small but very vital step forward."
Quote:
Meanwhile, Jenna Busch of LegionOfLeia.com said she "had a blast" watching it despite "a ton" of things she would change. "I got to see the team together and I had fun watching it. Ezra Miller steals the movie."
And its seems its going to be rotten again, supposedly at 49% at rottentomatoes now with 45+ reviews
(This is from a backdoor, the official site is for some reason doing a big "reveal" tomorrow and is not showing the scores on the site yet.)
Glad i decided not to go see any more DCEU movies in the cinema, haven't liked any of them yet, WW was also only ok, despite the reviews.
I liked the movie, it was very enjoyable. The biggest problem is that too much is happening too fast, there's not much build up. It feels like the first episode of a show. The league itself is the best part of the movie, except the cyborg guy. DC has much better characters than Marvel IMO, but it might be me getting bored of the Marvel universe. Steppenwolf was nice, how could he not be with Ciaran Hinds' voice, but he was underused. Action was also a clusterfuck towards the end.
Still haven't seen it but from the trailers and promos I'll afraid the Flash is going to ruin any scene he's on for me. Anything I've seen so far just says "komedy!1 LOL" whenever that guy is on the screen, and seems really forced, like the actor himself is really really bad at it.

Apparently quite a bit was cut and some scenes reshot for the worse, and insiders have been leaking info regarding cut/reshot scenes AND incomplete scenes.
Some dude from one of the VFX companies leaked like 5 incomplete scenes that were cut from the movie that would have fleshed it out some more.

Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty
This must go down as the single stupidest, big-budget superhero motion picture ever unleashed upon an unsuspecting public by a major Hollywood studio. — Chicago Daily Herald
The film is, plainly stated, terrible, and I’m sorry that everyone wasted their time and money making it—and that people are being asked to waste their time and money seeing it. I hate to be so blunt, but it simply must be said this time … I know there’s another comic-book company doing this across town, and it seems to be working out well for them, but if you have no clear sense of how to build one of these franchises in a functional, let alone interesting, way, maybe stop until you do! … It’s rather staggering, how pretty much nothing in the film works, not the semi-reliable old stuff, and certainly not all the new junk they’ve crammed in. Justice League sweatily wants to be both an epic and a romp, but hasn’t the patience to truly be either. — Vanity Fair
But for whatever combination of reasons, the end result is a broken film, swimming in bad CGI and forgettable mayhem, that you can’t imagine any number of rewrites or reshoots could have saved. — Daily Telegraph (UK)
It is almost shocking how bad Justice League is. When your film makes the viewer long for the coherence and scope of 2015’s ill-fated “Fantastic Four,” it is a sure sign something has perilously gone wrong. — TheFilmFile.com
Justice League tips the balances back in the wrong direction. Although marginally better than Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad, director Zack Snyder’s latest is still a profound mess of maudlin muscles, incoherent action and jaw-droppingly awful CGI. It is big, loud, awful to look at and oh-so-dumb … Justice League feels like a bunch of disconnected moments with no governing theory behind it other than the fact that this movie has to come at this time to introduce audiences to characters whose stand-alone movies have already been promised to shareholders. It’s not too late to re-think this whole thing and start over. Just keep Gadot around, please. — Associated Press
Years from now — or maybe even as you read this — filmmakers are going to use the DC Comics Extended Universe as a prime example of how not to build a movie franchise. — The Star-Democrat (Easton, Maryland)
A depressing reminder that Wonder Woman was an anomaly, not the new normal. Busy and boring and oppressively computer generated, Justice League screams we’re back to business as usual. — The Austin Chronicle
The fact that the entire journoworld considers Wonder Woman as the apex of the modern superhero hollyproductions speaks volumes about the state of DCEU and the genre
