Looks like fans have to wait for some more time to see the official Rotten Tomatoes score for the upcoming DC movie 'Justice League'.
Warner Bros. is embargoing critic reviews until 2:50 a.m. Wednesday morning, leaving just one full day between reviews going live and the film opening Thursday evening.
