Just like with Batman v. Superman. 🙄 And unlike Wonder Woman, which had the embargo lifted with weeks to go when DC & Warners knew they had a winner.
And it seems Zack Snyder's initial running time of 2 hours 45 minutes has been cut to 2 hours by Joss Whedon.
Red flags? I think so.
HUGE Red Flag..
But just to correct you on something, Wonder Woman’s review embargo was also initially set a couple of days before release. But after hearing people were actually liking the film, they pushed the embargo date forward to much earlier.
Seriously doubt the same will happen here though.
I personally think WB was scared shitless about WW, and were actually surprised people liked it. So it’s safe to say they are scared out of their pants about JL.

Well Dunkirk had it's embargo until days before, same with Kong and IT.The red flag people are pointing out is the WW embargo being moved up because WB had a winner.
If the embargo is not moved up this film is probably trash.
Pretty much. It was the same with Mad Max, which was the best reviewed movie that year.
And yet the changed WW’s to a good couple of weeks because they realised they had a winner.DC movies are different to things like Mad Max, because of their not so good history.
Dude, chill. There is still many weeks left and that is just the default date. WB can still move it up.
So far, the early buzz is that it's good. EC (BO forums) said it was good and the early China preview had strong buzz.
Drew also heard positive things from two people, so that is something. NOT saying that automatically equals great or good reviews or anything.
And JL has crashed Fandango! 😱
Justice League Tickets Rush Crashed Fandango
If you thought people weren't anticipating Justice League, better think again, as fans trying to buy tickets caused quite a stir.In fact, the onslaught of ticket buyers singlehandedly crashed movie website Fandango. If you head to the website, you currently get an image of Yoda with the message 'The Force is strong with this one."
Normally I would say WB’s priorities are out of whack here, but between a movie of not funny Ezra Miller Flash or Joe Manganiello as Deathstroke, I can’t not go with the latter. There’s just so much more potential for a DS film which would be more interesting to see, especially if the Flash movie just copies what was already done on the CW show in most parts.

I know the Flash characterisation is a big screw up. But come on, we should need some damn solo DC superhero movies.Deathstroke would be a great villain in a superhero film. No idea what the appeal of a villain movie is.
The focus on villains is to set it apart from Marvel I think. While I like the idea of villain films I think they need to focus on the hero side first
