seminoles1 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Missed it again haha. It hurts when my girlfriend gets off work at 6:00 PM and the showing is at 7:00 PM. I have 1 more set of passes for Monday. She's getting off an hour early, so we should be fine for then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Hearing good things from most reviewers I trust. Wont go to theater for it, but looking forward to seeing it at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Shazam: Fury of the Gods is Thor: The Dark World level of sequel drop offs. Holy crap was that awful. I have no idea how that got even a 62% favorability on Rotten Tomatoes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles1 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Finally was able to get in to an early showing. Overall it was...fine. The comedy is hit and miss, but mostly fell flat for me because I'm not a big fan of Ezra's delivery for comedic moments. The CGI struggles at times. I was disappointed in Calle's performance; she's not bad, but she's just kind of there. Ezra does have a couple scenes where they kill it (in a good way), particularly towards the end. Keaton is fun, but they forced in some fan service with his dialogue. The cameos are fun. I did enjoy the themes about morality and choice; I was surprised that I came away thinking that went over well in the movie as opposed to being cheesy. I won't talk about the ending until the movie comes out, but I have opinions. Overall probably like a 6/10. My girlfriend loved it. Worth a watch on a discount day or matinee, but I wouldn't pay full price to see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunn better find a better comedic talent for his comic relief. Maybe Chris Pratt as Hal Jordan or Booster Gold? Hoping Hal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that there ever was, but there is definitely no reason to bring him back now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar12 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 That’s less than Black Adam opening. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 how do you have a film that features Batman and the flash bomb at the BO I really hope they don't let this Andy dude direct the new batman film. He's a hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a hack. I get why WBD wanted to reset everything, but they have lost so much money on box office bombs and disappointments and lost a lot of goodwill with the GA.

43M Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 I wasnt necessarily rooting for this to bomb, but Im perfectly happy if it does. This should send a loud and clear message to WB, which hopefully positively impacts the future of the DCU (doubtful), and largely end Ezra Miller's career. The only thing I fear is that this could hurt the Flash in the future. Get rid of Ezra and cast someone MUCH better, and Flash could be great. Dont blame the character. Blame the idiocy of keeping that psycho around, as well as how terrible the Snyderverse was handled overall. If this bombs, I cant wait to see how Aquaman 2 ends up doing....if its even released. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Saw it last night. It was good, not great. There's no way they keep EM, even though he does OK with the material. If they are willing to throw out Cavill (stupid, but I get the reboot aspect, even though Cavill was the perfect Superman) then there's no way they can justify Miller. By the way, what the heck was the end credit scene trying to set up for AM2? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely catch it when it hits Max, but no way was I going to the theater for this. WB getting rid of Henry while keeping Ezra (yes, that WAS in the cards) isn't cool with me (I love how said article even says "I called it. They don’t care one bit about what he did as long as the upcoming summer release makes money {and it will}", he sadly might not be wrong). I don't agree with everything Bob Chipman (MovieBob) says, but he was spot on in the intro of his review: One down, one to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Honestly, no idea where they are in Aquaman, but they should just Batgirl it and move on. Let the Snyderverse die its death. I don't blame Andy for the Flash flop. I haven't seen it, but I am sure it isn't bad. The universe is just ruined and tarnished. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
