    Pretty hard agree on all these but I honestly feel the 2md Suicide Squad movie is 100 percent worth a watch. It’s hilarious and Cena’s Peacemaker is great. His spin off show is great as well.

      Yeah, I don’t care about DC movies but I loved Peacemaker, so I gave it a chance and it was great.

      I found them both a tad too serious for how dumb they are. Neither can quite decide whether they’re dumb, goofy fun or serious action movies.

        Idk man I felt like that was literally the whole point. That the dude takes himself way too serious but he’s dumb and stupid shit keeps happening to him. Sometimes you gotta just enjoy things. I felt the plot was pretty solid and a good balance of dumb goofy and gore. I’m a fan of Deadpool though so maybe that just resonates with me more. It’s not for everyone, I get it.

      I enjoyed The Suicide Squad more when I blocked it off from the rest of the DC universe.

    I only saw five of these, but here are my reviews:

    • Man of Steel - dumb and gray
    • Batman v Superman - awful
    • Wonder Woman - okay, until the very end, where the writers decided to throw away every theme they’ve been building and just have superheroes hit each other
    • Aquaman (genuinely don’t remember which one) - awful
    • Birds of Prey - dumb, but kinda fun ngl

      Batman v Superman was insane. They tried to stuff like seven movies into one, and because there was no thematic consistency throughout the entire thing, it was just a hot garbled mess.

      Why would you shoehorn the death of Superman into the ending of a Batman v Superman movie?

      I loved Wonder Woman, but by having Ares actually be responsible for the War, completely fucked up the moral that Wonder Woman was learning in the film.

      The first Shazam was the best movie of that continuity. The second one should have featured Black Adam, instead of giving him his own movie.

      Shazam was pretty enjoyable. It reminds me of good movies back when movies were allowed to be merely good instead of either amazing or terrible.

    Zionist war criminal

    Is she? I’m no fan of her and not trying to defend her in any way but that’s quite the claim to out on someone’s feet; there better be some evidence. Het having been in the IDF is not evidence of war crimes, that is probably even unavoidable when growing up there.

    so anyone got a link about what exactly she did?

        Joke’s on you. I’ve been complaining about her acting since I found out everyone who played an amazon had to fake an Israeli accent because Gal Gadot, a professional actress who gets literally hundreds of thousands of dollars per movie, couldn’t hide her own.

        Haha, sorry to ruin your day, but I did see it!

        Having watched young justice (and some other DC shows) I was familiar with the hero so checked it out. It was a decently fun movie for a somewhat lesser known hero. I think the weakest part was that, like most superhero movies, the big bad was a carbon copy of blue beetle (can’t recall if it was his arch nemesis Black Beetle or some other iteration).

        I’d say of the DCEU movies I’ve watched, it was one of the better ones.

          I also watched it! I… don’t really remember anything about it other than it being okay.

      Birds of Prey definitely started some shit online, but it was primarily the already vocal assholes of reddit and x flinging shit at each other. I heard a lot from both sides and ended up avoiding the movie completely.

        You’re forgetting OP of the greentext is a 4chan regular so their social circle is probably entirely comprised of vocal assholes of reddit and x flinging shit at each other.

      Birds of Prey, 'triggered a culture war,"
      

      Never heard of this in my life. And i was spending 24h a day online during covid, lol. I’m guessing anon just didn’t want to break the post’s pattern. I know the feeling.

      Personally I heard that Birds of Prey and THE Suicide Squad were amazing.

      Twitter people lied and said the Sonic movie was homophobic in order to drum up support for the Birds of Prey movie.

    I will always remember the Mauler’s review of the Snyder cut. And how people keep praising the Snyder cut, even though it was actually worse.

    That made me thinking that people forget what they were watching when movies get too long. And that perhaps that’s why even shows get such long episodes - Stranger things last episode of season 4: TWO hours twenty minutes??

    It’s just useless shit for the sake of being there, while adding nothing important. And I hate that people respond positively to watering down the media even more.

      The Snyder cut feels less disjointed than the theatrical cut, which is all I wanted. Some movies keep their cohesion through reshoots, like fantastic four, but others do not, like red hulk and this.

      I’m never rewatching it, but I didn’t come out feeling like I just wandered through a dream sequence
