Indeed they did, but I suspect that the movie may not have pushed that hard according to some of what the critics say.

Since you do this, wouldn't majority of the users like the MCU, so we shouldn't trust them either? |
I don't "do this" as I know what movies I'm going to like and want to see. And there are some franchises that people have incredible bias towards - the MCU and Star Wars being the prominent ones. I mean those movies are general terrible I find. Civil War was so bad.
Looks terrible indeed, and, like Ghostbusters, I smell a little bit of a agenda in there, like, evil is not that evil, a bad reputation does not mean that much... Probably my impression, but it seems like something that would benefit a certain person that stands in the american political arena...
also, Will Smith... yeks
Will Smith being in the movie should have been a red flag from the beginning.

Meh, Will Smith is charismatic enough.
People who think actors really make or break a movie don't really understand the process of it though ... everything rests with the script. If the script isn't good it doesn't matter who is directing it or which actors you've got.

Bad performances do break a movie though and Will Smith is only capable of that these days. But to your point, Will Smith being in the movie means that he will cause changes to the script. After all, he has to be a good guy and has to always be on top of things.
Honestly, this movie needs to flop big time. The fact that Batman and Joker are barely in this movie is messed up. And just look at the terrible dialogue and jokes in the trailer.
Several reviews didn't address the film making but instead focused on the presence of guns, sexism and macho attitudes. Those reviewers weren't going to like it no matter how well made or terrible the actual film itself is. I'm not saying they shouldn't address those things if those are personal concerns, but some info about the movie other than personal biases would be helpful. Take the reviews with a grain of salt. Just like the Ghostbusters boost because "yeah girl power".
