9 Movies We’re Absolutely Dreading This Year

The average person gets to pick and choose their films. Critics, however, don’t have that luxury. Although, given the job description, many would concur that it’s a small price to pay.

OK, first of all, we need to clarify that we are super-psyched for the upcoming Justice League movie. How could we not be looking forward to the first cinematic team-up of DC’s finest heroes? Still, while we are excited for it, we’re dreading the film’s release in equal measure. That’s because the truth is, Justice League could really go either way.

However, the problems that plagued the previous movies could well still be there. And, let’s face it, they are likely to be in some form. Are we eagerly counting down the days to Justice League’s arrival? You bet. But we’re also doing so with bated breath.
