I caught Star Wars: The Last Jedi last weekend and have no idea what all the hullabaloo is about (by which I mean I understand many of the complaints, though they’re not terribly persuasive when looked at in context). It’s a decent movie though as far as I can tell all the rancor revolving around […]
There a story on Superherohype where Ben Affleck says that the portrayal of Batman in Warner Bros/DC Films upcoming Justice League would be a more ‘traditional’ portrayal of the character. What!? The fact that Affleck has to tell viewers this is indicative of perhaps the greatest problem the DCEU has (yet) to overcome: namely a […]
It seems that finally Zach Snyder has fallen out of favor at Warner Bros, though my question is why it took so long to happen. Keep in mind while he’s overseen produced no flops while the creative force behind the DCEU (DC Extended Universe) though what he has done was produce three movies–Man of Steel, […]
What? You thought Bane deserved all the credit? In the past few months Warner Bros has been on a charm offensive, as far as the movies of their DC Extended Universe go, but I’m not buying it. Another thing I’m not buying are those people who claim that what is preported to be a lighter […]
When I caught Doctor Strange last weekend one of trailers before the movie was XXX: The Return Of Xander Cage, which fascinated me because prior to that moment I had rarely seen so much stupid squeezed into a trailer that lasted no more than two or three minutes. It reminded me of the time Jason Statham said […]
‘Early Milky Way’ image via hubblesite.com Success breeds imitation, and in the past ten years few movie companies have been successful as Marvel Studios. And while many in the Hollywood community seem surprised, if they had any idea of the pent-up demand for seeing characters like Iron Man, Falcon and many others that millions of […]
Can Geoff Johns save the DCEU, otherwise known as the DC Extended Universe? Let’s just say I HIGHLY doubt it. And it’s worth mentioning that I speculate out of love because–while DC characters like Batman and Superman aren’t my favorites–I don’t wish them ill, either. Which is why I find the movies released so far […]
I have to admit that I enjoyed the first trailer for Zach Snyder’s Justice League. but if I say I weren’t concerned I’d be lying. Reason being, he had two chances to make movies based on Batman and Superman. The first attempt, Man of Steel is enjoyed by many, but in its way is as […]
I honestly don’t understand the point of an “Ultimate Edition” of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice because I don’t know what’s it’s supposed to do. Make a confusing narrative a bit less so? Offer some sort of information why it is characters that in some instances have existed for 80 years have suddenly been […]
Sometimes the best strategy is to let the movie do the talking.
