What ruined The Flash (2023) was by my reckoning three things, one of which I want to discuss. The first was Ezra Miller’s fairly deviant public behavior. The second was at least two directors shaping the movie prior to Andy Muschietti coming on to the project, which is related to the third, namely constantly sinking […]
I was recently on Quora and was a part of a discussion about The Flash, which someone thought was ‘awesome.’ The problem was the I’ve also seen the movie and while it had its moments, by no means deserved such praise. And I get it. Everyone has their own opinion but objectively speaking? Not so […]
I really need to see Batgirl because James Gunn said that it was not releasable while The Flash ‘was probably one of the best superhero movies ever made.’ Having seen the latter it strongly implies that Gunn is either a Warner Bros Discovery shill or his opinion can’t be trusted any longer because I wouldn’t […]
No matter what James Gunn says, The Flash not only isn’t ‘…one of the best superhero movies…‘ it’s got more dodgy CGI than any big-budget major studio release in recent memory. That being said I don’t think the movie’s greatest problem are the special effects more than a movie being built around Ezra Miller’s Flash, […]
James Gunn has called Andy Muschietti’s upcoming The Flash ‘one of the greatest superhero movies ever…‘ and that’s only true if you’ve seen very few superhero movies, because if you have, it isn’t. It has many problems, the most significant being Ezra Miller – never mind his various, and well-documented – problems in real life. […]
Marvel Studios was the first studio to create a interlinked series of movies– known as the Marvel Cinematic Universe or MCU–based upon preexisting properties (like Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the Hulk) that culminated in event movies (such as The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron) that featured all (or the bulk of) the […]
Of course the production isn’t (though the headline probably grabbed your attention, if only because it’s so asinine) though it’s shaping up to be a particularly troubled one. First, Seth Grahame-Smith left due to ‘creative differences’–a term that is so vague that it could literally mean just about anything–now according to Comicbook.com his replacement, Rick […]
I like it how as of late DC Entertainment stopped Nolanizing all their comic book properties–at least on television, at any rate. Not every character is Batman, and it’s good to see that they’re finally embracing the more fantastical aspects of many of them. It’s a trend that began with The Flash, moved into Arrow, and […]
I don’t know what it is about Warner Bros superheroes. For some reason, if the movies are any indicator, Metropolis and Gotham City are where dreams and hope go to die. Overall, everything is dark (more so, at least in a physical sense, in Gotham) and gloomy, as if the inhabitants carried invisible weights upon their shoulders. And […]
I am not terribly easy to please when it comes to real-world interpretations of superheroes that I have followed since I was a kid. Then again, I also understand that costume designers have quite a balancing act to maintain. Sometimes, they cannot be too literal, because it would mean spandex, and virtually no one looks […]
