Yahoo News Jason Momoa responds to Justice League criticism
Jason Momoa has responded to criticism of his new movie Justice League.
The actor plays Arthur Curry/Aquaman in the DCEU movie, which predictably hasn't been well-received by critics, and even some fans.
At present, the movie has a 40% Rotten Tomatoes rating, following an initial score of 50% and a secondary score of 38%, which is better than Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (27%) and Suicide Squad (26%), but nowhere near the lofty heights of Wonder Woman (92%).
However, Momoa has hit back at the movie's negative response by insisting he loved it.
"I try to stay the f**k away from what people say," he told Entertainment Weekly.
"Some of my friends said, 'Justice League isn't doing well' and it kind of bummed me out. But I didn't want to look it up. I don't want to look up the bad and the negativity.
"I don't think that's useful; it doesn't help. I've seen [Justice League] twice. I loved it the second time even more."
Justice League was released last week, and while it did top the US Box Office, it marked the DCEU's worst ever opening weekend.
It has also received criticism for its male gaze depiction of Wonder Woman's Amazons, and then there was that weird moment its own director Joss Whedon liked a tweet mocking the movie.
Whedon took over from Zack Snyder, who left during production due to a family tragedy. You can find out what was in Snyder's original take here.
Justice League is in cinemas now.
