Oddly. I opted to ask if any of my kids wanted to see it. “Nope”

We watched Transformers the Movie from the 80’s…again. Maybe next weekend.

Thought he was Scottish, not Irish. Last I remember Scotland was cracking down pretty hard on hate speech blah blah blah type bullshit.
I agree he sounds Scottish, but he references that he’s Irish often and lives in Ireland. Kind of like how Sean Connery was British but sounded Scotish.

Just out of this. Though there were some aspects that were meh (some of the sound track choices as an example), I thought it was pretty good.

That silver age spirit was all over this and it translated to the big screen quite well.

Encourage anyone that liked the DCAU to check it out.

This seriously needed way less Dog being the macguffin merch plot armor, pretty unhappy with the over representation on that character, though the mindless retards in the audience clapped like fuckin seals every appearance.

Writing Jimmy the way they did was pretty lol, it worked pretty great imo. Monster Toes 🤣

90% of the FOH posters would agree that only 10% know WTF they are talking about.

Problem is everyone thinks they are in that 10%.

That's how it always has been. Once you find a few good critics on the same wavelength as you they can help filter things. I love Critical Drinker's direct movie and TV reviews. His taste in video games is... not in line with mine. The age of woke is fading, but there are still a lot of faggots in Hollywood trying to push it on us.

Does he really review video games? The stuff I see is him taking about the failures but doesn't actually play. Think the only time I see him talk about video games is how they blame failures on everyone but themselves. Pretty much talks about why certain games succeed and others fail which is basic knowledge

He does. The channel for it is Critical Gamer.

This movie isn't bad. Coherent story, likeable superman, wide cast of characters were well used. I was pleasantly surprised.

Was was the CGI for Guy Garder's ring power? Was it just a boring green "laser" or did they get creative with the GL ring?

Green Lantern did deploy his powers a bit and it was quite imaginative at times but never really felt amazing. Hawkgirl felt kinda stupid, she keeps doing this screech thing that was annoying, like a hot girl with a valley accent talking. One running gag of the movie is the name of the metahuman group.

Mr. Terrific was the best of the other metahumans and he is in the movie a lot. I still don't really understand his powers (he is super smart and has some robots? I think he can fly?) but all of them are just slotted in when they are needed to fight, we learn absolutely nothing about any of them.

The one thing this movie is super sincere, there is not a cynical bone in its body which is refreshing after Zack Snyders grimdark stuff. Gunn got that "golly gee whiz" aspect of silver age DC perfect.

Is Metamorpho not in the movie much? I haven't heard anyone talk about him
He's in some crucial scenes but not in the way you'd expect and not really part of the Justice League. Actual fighting from him is maybe 15 seconds near the end with one cool combat move.

And of all the characters that could use at least a line or two of dialog for backstory I thought he needed it the most. He just appears and does stuff with little to no explanation. He does have the most understandable motivations though, more so than any of the other metahumans.

Well shit, I was excited for his casting the most, I figured they would make him semi bad first?

My 6 year old loves this shit. And the adult babies drive up transformer costs quickly. They are fun to play with with him. My guess is transformers is a definite original man child collectible.

Watched a cam. This is a great movie and an awesome superhero film and id rate it 8/10 and 9/10 from a dc fan. Jumping into a developed universe is awkward though, now I have questions like where was the speedster family? where are the other tech billionaires like the Queen family? A lot of questions. Other than questioning everything from a fan view, the movie was a lot of fun. The cast of characters were more entertaining than Marvel's recent Riri garbage so win win for DC and comic book film in general.

Over all? its a win and an awesome starting point for the new DCU.

Well, DC probably has to burn through 8 years of white male consumers and superheroes so they can gently shoehorn in THE MESSAGE in their version of phase 3 or whatever. Probably entitled Dilators and Tampons instead of Gods and Monsters.
