I'd like to congratulate WB on somehow threading the needle and making a film that both Snyderistas and Gunntras are rooting to see fail. That couldn't have been easy.

How is Sasha Calle as Supergirl? Based on the bits and pieces of this crapfest I've seen through trailers, it looks like she's the only person there who gives a poo poo.

He probably rescues a kid by putting them in a microwave during a slo mo scene of him at super speed akin to the Quicksilver X Men films but someone reversed it so it looks like he’s going to cook a baby with a screaming nurse in the background versus taking the baby out of the micro wave

i think it's actually not reversed: it's a loving indiana jones and the crystal skull reference

there's a bomb going off and he's putting the baby inside the microwave-shielded microwave

She does her job serviceably but her character isn’t given much to work with and any moments that could have had some impact like finding out baby Clark got killed by Zod don’t have any great weight to them.

That sucks. I was hoping she would get more to do, but I guess that's the best-case scenario for this shitshow.

Bad CGI and all I enjoyed every minute of it.





The parts that had Keaton batman in it. The rest of the movie was bland as gently caress. Also the movie left me with a headache because Flash has the most annoying voice and dialogue. There is a moment where I thought the movie became self aware about how annoying the main character is and would find ways to have him talk less. Nope.

Shut the gently caress up Barry.

This movie wasn't as bad as I thought it would be although it definitely starts off that way with the baby thing.

The CG is hilarious, and I had to see it all to see what they actually did. They realized that CGing the OG people was going to look bad so they didn't even bother and made it so that EVERY time Barry saw an alternate universe, it looked like complete garbage so you thought it was an intentional artistic decision throughout that you can read into as opposed "we aren't getting it right, so gently caress it." I mean, you can death of the author and come up with some reason everything looks like plastic garbage meaning-wise, but it's not worth it in this case, imo.

edit: nah, that doesn't even work because the plastic babies and the dogs look like nonsense too.

Also, if you want to see the movie, just watch this segment from Teen Titans Go to the Movies instead because it has the exact same plot including the same Back to the Future references as well for the first half: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZloDz2qn_I

It's rote to say something looks like a video game, but these graphics are on par with the (admittedly, very impressive) in-engine cutscenes from Devil May Cry 5.

Yeah, I avoided any direct comparisons to that to not spoil that movie too. But the relationship and ideology between the protagonist and (final in the Flash since there are two) antagonist in that is literally flipped here.

There were some things I actually liked in this.They made sure to show you again, how the World Engine was literally crushing people in Metropolis and retconned that Barry was there failing at saving people just like Bruce in Beevis . And they double down on Zod killing thousands with the engines instead of trying to roll that back.

Also, I laughed when Supergirl was fighting Zod, she goes out of her way to save someone in the middle, and Zod just goes and blows them up anyway immediately. They did the opposite of what I expected when I saw they DBZ went to the desert and had Zod, Faora, and Nam Ekmtechbically kill even more people, and made sure to show you aren't gonna stop them from killing without killing them.

Goddamn I'm hype as gently caress for JOSSTICE LEAGUE TWO.

I bought a ticket to Spider-Man and then snuck into this and this is the most correct take in the thread. Everything in this movie reminds me of Josstice League, from the editing to the tone to the color grading to the reused lasso gag. Characters are treated with the same gravitas (read: none,) the acting is tired and sluggish (this is the worst performance I've ever seen from Michael Shannon and Sasha Calle is, sorry, not good,) and I remember the '89 Batman theme way more than any individual song on the score, which I am beyond sick of hearing.

It's astounding that the main character of this film is the main comic relief of the Justice League who, halfway through the film, admits that he's not funny and is trying way too hard to be liked.

We also need to start talking about how multiverse movies don't understand how multiverse theory works (there are no "fixed points" that happen in every timeline) and how the moral of a lot of them lately seems to be "you have to uphold the status quo because every alternative is worse." (Yes, I know the new Spider-Man seems to be directly challenging that.)
