I enjoyed Justice League, Wonder Woman is a good flick with Gal being just frickin beautiful.
I would like to believe in another life in the multiverse somewhere i'm married to a smoking hot Israeli.
I'd rate the best DC movies so far are Wonder Woman, Man of Steel, Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition, Justice League, Suicide Squad. The theatrical bvs is garbage.
I expect Aquaman and Shazam to be in the top 3 soon. Atleast imo. I'm very excited for Aquaman. [Reply]

I mentioned that...probably in this thread.
BvS is actually pretty good with the ultimate edition.
That said....I fell asleep during Wonder Woman {ducks}.
I just...don't get it. I love period movies. I love smoking hot Israeli's. I like Chris Pine and really wanted to like it. It just didn't get there for me. It wasn't a Suicide Squad level piece of shit (that's really among the worst movies I've ever seen), but I never thought it was that great either.
I just have a far different outlook on the DC movies than most, I think. I liked Man of Steel thought he last 10 minutes of just wanton carnage became laughably ridiculous. I thought DC did a nice job, though, of responding to that by making it a central component to the Superman story going forward; the dude's best intentions are still capable of causing trillions of dollars in damage/economic upheaval and costing thousands of lives.
I very much doubt that was the original intent of the ending of that movie, but they did a nice job of incorporating that shortcoming into the DC Universe and trying to turn it on its head. [Reply]

WW was OK at best. But it was a woman so it was the best movie ever for so many people. I felt the same thing with Black Panther. It was probably a little better than WW but it still wasn't that great either. I felt because it was an all black cast(minus one or two exceptions) you got all the hype and pressure to say it was this great movie. [Reply]

I could never get past the most advanced society in the world having war rhinos and LITERALLY CHUCKING SPEARS!
I'll give it credit for having the most compelling conflict of all the Marvel series and Michael B. Jordan kicks significant amounts of ass. But apart from that it was just another comic book movie but with more vibrant colors. Take the race thing out of it and I think it is viewed as a good Marvel movie but not this masterpiece that it was being portrayed as. I mean FFS, there's an okay chance it gets best picture. That's just nutty. [Reply]
