theCapraAegagrus Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Shower thoughts: Glad that Zack Snyder's Justice League was clearly canon for this. The movie doesn't feel as "epic" because of the lame OST. Basic strings and mainstream songs don't work often these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This movie is nowhere near perfect so most individuals here will find faults with many of the things in the movie and will dislike it I loved seeing Affleck as Batman one more time, I loved the cameos, I thought Ezra was far more charismatic than many many of the MCU actors. I think the movie is better than many of the recent Marvel movies/shows etc. But I like this universe, I like these characters, I am not expecting perfection and can enjoy a popcorn flick (Black Adam). All the things everyone lets slide on the MCU movies, I let slide for the DC ones. This audience will not enjoy this movie because you either don't like DC movies and/or Snyderverse and/or Ezra Miller it's better than anything Marvel has made since Infinity End Game (not including Spider man movies) and as good as GOTG3 (again for me) yet many people saw these (spent money time after time) and were ok with it Black Widow Shang Chi Eternals Doctor Strange Multiverse Thor Love and Thunder Black Panther Wakanda Forever Ant Man Quantumania Larryw7 and theCapraAegagrus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that will be a creative decision that impacts moviegoer experience WOM points because you have to explain why it looks weird?! a part of me thought that might be the case, so it makes sense. it looks very matrix 2 computer generated graphics theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axelrod Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Might have to downward adjust my earlier prediction for this. Seems like Ezra/controversy is still getting most of the press, and the early hype of "best super-hero film ever" seems overblown. I still think it can do 500WW, but that's definitely not the floor. And getting as high as 700WW looks to be a struggle. So, call it 400-600 range with a guess at something closer to 500 in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to give my review (not that anyone gives a poop) later. I will say I'm tired of the people in charge feeling the need to completely change the source material. This movie could've just copied the Flashpoint Paradox and would've been a complete hit. It would've been awesome to see Bat Dad (Jeffery Dean Morgan), WW and Aquaman and their armies fighting for the fate of the planet in live action.

I like pie Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Just got back from seeing it. The first half was very rough to sit though but I enjoyed the second half. The CGI was embarrassingly bad and unfinished. Overall, I'd rate it a 4.5/10. Flanders82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegiftedone45 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 My take on the movie. Spoiler Overall I'm going 6/10 Good: Ezra was great acting as both Barry's (I didn't expect that). I thought younger Barry was hilarious as it was obvious he and his friends were big stoners. All the Batmen were incredible and did a great job. All the Batmen fight scenes were incredible especially freeing Supergirl. Supergirl was great for the small amount of screen time she was given. I liked that they couldn't beat Zod and it made a lot of sense. There were too many Kryptonians and Supergirl had almost no time to figure all of her powers out. There were some great cameos, I loved the Christopher Reeves one. Bad: CGI was horrible, I'm not understanding how they greenlighted it when it was that bad. The main bad guy was really dumb and was what I expected. Iris West was completely wasted in this. Barry didn't learn his lesson at all (at the end he didn't place the can where it should've been). The end had a wasted Aquaman cameo. Overall a ok movie. Like I stated in a previous comment this would've done much better by coping Flashpoint paradox. I get annoyed when DC executives take great stories and have to put their own spin on things (Batman Hush for example), just stick to the source material. We could've gotten a incredible film if they had just copied the animated film. I'm disappointed as I fell for the hype and was expecting to be blown away by this and I wasn't.

MetaHuman Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Overall it was ok. Spoiler Keaton Batman stole the show and was the best part. Younger Barry really annoyed me and took this film down. thegiftedone45, I like pie and Dr. Balls 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
