Justice League will have to wait until Thursday morning, just after midnight, to finally see the review percentage on Rotten Tomatoes, though reviews for the film have already surfaced.
Rotten Tomatoes made the announcement through Twitter Tuesday morning that the official score would have to wait. They would normally let the score build over a little time, however, they’ve opted to wait to compile the scores so when they release it, it will be more accurate.

The holdup in releasing the scores is confusing, but can actually be both good and bad.
One positive thing about Rotten Tomatoes withholding the scores for an extra day and a half is that it’s likely the scores are buzzworthy. They wouldn’t create so much suspense over them if they weren’t worth waiting for and were negative. The not so great part about this is that the audience at large will not know if the film is worth the trip to the theater as soon as they are used to, and will be going in blind. While some people are okay with this, others might not go until the scores are released.
Some DC Fans even went as far as making a petition to shut down Rotten Tomatoes after negative reviews of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad.
No matter the reason for keeping the scores out of the public domain, the fact remains that the reviews are already here, so it does seem a bit odd.
The film’s synopsis: Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists newfound ally Diana Prince to face an even greater threat. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to recruit a team to stand against this newly awakened enemy. Despite the formation of an unprecedented league of heroes — Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash — it may be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
