The animated is a classic!

I just saw it. While it's not deep or anything I had such an amazing time. The trailers made it off as if it would be as fun as nails on a chalkboard with all of the dumb humor but within the context of the film it works quite good. I never liked Ben Affleck's characterization in the past films and without the heavy handed "Do yo bleed? or "Men are brave" spiel, he can be pretty spectacular to watch and it feels like he finally found his groove here and I just his more mellowed and sort of introspective performance.

Keaton is also fantastic and his fight scenes are straight out of the Arkham games. As a child, I was never one of those who pictured that he couldn't turn his head or that he fights stiffly, or that some fans keep insisting he's 4 feet nothing. He's Batman and any Batman, regardless of actor is 6"2 and is a master of hand to hand combat and that's what we get here.

I also never liked Ezra Miller as the Flash but he's thoroughly convincing in both roles here, he is definitely far more compelling than he was in any cut of the JL movies.

Finally, there are of course cameos that were kept secret with some you'll probably won't expect so I suggest if you have any interest in the film, go watch it and have a good time before people start spoiling some of the really unexpected surprises.

Batfleck has been my favourite thing about the DCEU. The clip I saw yesterday makes his character look at least on par with what Josstice League did. I hope in context it's much better but from what I've seen, to me it's horrendous.

Well I've seen some...stuff. Big Ooooof!

just came back from watching this, and the batmen scenes were absolutely fantastic!

i'm really gonna miss batfleck even more now...if only Muschietti were given the reins to a batfleck film, cos' he really knows how to handle batman scenes.

that being said, his costume does look really ugly and i can barely make out affleck under that cowl. I'd say HT's latest batfleck figure resembles affleck more than affleck did in his on-screen suit

And a James Cameron sci-fi water epic that was in theaters in 1989 and a good portion of 2023 as well.

Take it with a grain of salt. Spoilers do not occur until near the end and they are clearly identified beforehand.

The Supergirl action scenes in this film were FAR superior to any of Henry's. Not his fault though.

 

[Wor-Gar]

No where near as good as No Way Home...? And I didn't like that one. Ugh!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Spoilers sound ridiculous. Yes, more NWH idiocy. But turned up to 11.

I expect the usual suspects to love this movie. Can't wait to hear their excuse this time.

Meanwhile, pray for me at the Indy screening...

What a lousy summer this is going to be...

 

[DFanatic]

Damn, this movie was fun. I thought I was going to like it, but didn't expect to like it this much. I'm gonna get flak for this, but I think this is my favorite DCEU movie. It wasn't perfect (alternate/young Barry was sort of ridiculous and annoying for a good part of the movie and the CGI was brutal at times) but I haven't had this fun watching a movie in a while... in fact, this is the first time I got hyped for a DC movie.

EDIT THE SPOILERS: Sorry guys, I thought it was open discussion already!

 

[a-dev]

Most people still haven't seen this, right? Maybe a bit early to openly post about cameos.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Spoilers...

 

[DFanatic]

Sorry guys, I thought we could discuss it openly already. Spoilers removed!

[ironwez20]

This movie will def be the most talked about summer movie I fear .

I'll be seeing it in a few hours.

went to see the first showing at my local flea pit yesterday ,view cinema in crewe

11 am showing about 18 punters in for it

non waiting outside to go in for next showing as we left

staff turned up the house lights ,washing the picture right out just as the after credits bit came on lol

not great

surprising to me was not even a poster for the flash outside the cinema

they had one for some nickelodeon turtles thing ,i dont know anthing about it ,looked like a tv show spin off or some thing to me

but no promotion for the flash at all

it was okay

didn't hate it

but i didn't love it either

doubt ill ever watch it again or remember it fondly anytime soon
too bad

for me file under wonder woman 84 and josstice league as it seemed to fit with them in terms of quality and sensibility
