With reviews like “anti-entertaining”, I wasn’t expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised! Granted it isn’t anything new but it’s run-of-the-mill fare done well. Supremely watchable. Ties into the larger DCEU including Peacemaker in believable fashion. The only part I was sad about was the death of a very interesting character so soon after their introduction. Hope they are brought back in some form later.
I would be fine if the show was just dumb but it is boring too. The plot is full of holes. The characters are shallow or unlikable. There are like 10 plotlines that go nowhere and the conclusion is not worth the wasted time. There are a few fun moments (intentionally and unintentionally) but most of the time you gonna just wait for things to happen.
It's visually stunning and I like seeing the old characters on the screen again but I recommend watching TNG instead. It's much more fun.
I forgot the end of Planes, Trains and Automobiles goes full John Hughes and ended up blubbering like a baby.
I hope everyone that wanted a second season is happy with this shitfest they got. Dropped at 2x07.
My biggest complaint is that it's hamfisted, but so what? An action movie embracing its best parts and just rolling with the punches instead of being needlessly long trying to explain some of these transitions and motivations? Sign me up for more of that. Black Adam embraces what it is and just dives in head first. It's heavy handed and over the top, and that's hardly a glaring flaw in a super hero movie compared to all of the other things people traditionally get wrong.
It doesn't sacrifice its strengths to satisfy critics, but I think those critics forget why we go to the movies in the first place. The fact that WW1984 is well received and this is not shows the hot mess of priorities these people place on films. This cast was great. The action was fun. The story was straight forward and not bogged down. It was fun.
Let me repeat that, it was fun. And I want more of that.
Does anybody understand anything this season?
This is an amazing movie! It tells a whole new angle of the WWII history . A view worth :nerd:
This is actually a good movie. It´s not a hollow, CGI´d to death blockbuster with tons of explosions and little content. Although the story is not something new it is worth considering.
