Yeah I have down as a 7/10 type joint

the back and forth narrative structure kinda hindered, Huntress felt shoehorned in and they lost a huge opportunity to show Cassandra Cain like how she is in the comics as opposed to this weird adaption which no offense to the actress she did great with the material but might be the WOAT adaption of a comic book character since Bane in Batman and Robin.z

But other than than everything else was fun

It was aight, flight movie type flick that you catch if you have nothing else to do and want a good time

It has a lot of style that feels novel because comic book movies have generally become far more muted in color and visual personality than this. I can almost describe it as if you put Lizzo in movie form, for better or worse. Just unabashedly loud and gimmicky but also undoubtedly refreshing in some ways. The performances are good, nobody is phoning it in, it's a fine movie even in spite of things like uneven tones and not a lot of character development.

You can clearly tell though how much DC is playing it safe. Right now they're just concerned about putting out projects the people will gobble up and generate memes about. All of the last 3 DC movies seriously lack ambition or real creative ingenuity for a franchise that was originally determined to do its own thing (besides ripping off Marvel's shared universe concept) and giving directors total freedom.

The movie will outgross it's budget globally in it's opening weekend but on it's first Friday there's already a report on how it's "bombing".

Journalism, brehs.
It's the era bro. We in the classic or trash era.

People only care about first week sales in music too. After that, they act like the albums stop selling :snoop:

Just got back.

It was good. Black Canary was my favorite.
Probably did need Batgirl/Barbara to round out the city of Gotham feeling.

Not having any main Batfamily made it feel sort of disconnected from what it was aiming for.

Villains were great and Harley’s angle in telling it made it refreshing. It wasn’t a simple redemption story for her. She’s just a terrible person who does good things.

:ehh:I was curious about her. How is Canary?
She honestly doesn’t get a whole lot of screen time and I don’t know enough about Huntress to say whether or not it was an accurate portrayal or anything like that but I was really entertained by her.


Uh, I'm pretty sure nobody liked them trailers breh. It might be a good movie but..

They should have put out a red band trailer
I did :yeshrug: You can’t speak for everyone.
