Sometimes I forget this even existed.
I always think back to Batman vs Superman and how that movie could have been so good but they wasted Doomsday and casted the worst Lex Luthor ever.
But Justice League...I don't even remember anything about it outside of thinking the CGI was horrendous. I think that might be worse.

They also failed to have a scene with Steppenwolf riding a motorcycle while born to be wild thunders in the background. I will instantly fail this movie if they don't CGI it in.

Yeah, I know people call me a DC hater, but they destroyed so much excellent source material on such a bad movie.

On the flip side, I've started watching the animated Harley Quinn series. It's not something I would have ever decided to watch on my own, but seeing so many good things about it on reddit I decided to give it a shot. And it's awesome, I never thought DC would be ok with taking the piss out of so many of their core characters. If you haven't seen it, don't quit after the first episode. The writers seemed to have gone for full shock value just for the sake of it in that one and it's not that good. But by Ep 4 where Harley tries to get a nemesis I was hooked

I really have little patients for people who think they are edgy by being critical of good movies, saying they are cookie cutter and lack depth, there are a lot of good and original ideas or innovative presentations that come out of the high appeal movies. A major part of film as an art form is entertaining and engaging people and DC has gotten some many kicks at the can they just don't deserve the benefit of the doubt, poor production quality, poor story arcs, poor casting, lack of respect for the source material, and more concerned with a superficial feeling of being edgy than presenting anything resembling character development.
Until I see otherwise, I pretty much expect this to be that.

They did the same thing with Aquaman. Gone are the Trench storyline, the fighting for the throne politics with his brother, and the Aquaman disrespected by landdwellers (he's so awesome and edgy now!), when this could have just been Manta and been fine. That would make it an almost espionage or thriller movie than an action movie, and I'm sure WB couldn't handle that.
Wonder Woman part II wasted Max Lord, ruined the Max Lord ending, and for no reason at all had any flashbacks to Diana's past as a child. Why? It could have just been a straightforward Cheetah movie, like Joker from a different perspective.
WB is very afraid of simple stories, and always jam many together.

I'm sorry but some Marvel movies are just cookie cutter. They aren't all good.
DC has made several movies which I would put far above the cookie cutter Marvel movies: The Dark Knight Trilogy (2005-2012 and the MCU started in 2008), Shazam, and Joker.
People aren't saying they disliked Iron Man 3 or Captain Marvel for the sake of being edgy. They just weren't very inspired movies.
You are also lambasting people for detracting from the Marvel brand, just for the sake of it. Meanwhile, you are stating that this new DC movie is awful, before even having seen it. And yes, making a movie with more mass appeal, particularly in the genre of sci-fi, often does result in a worse movie. Once again, I'm not really concerned with how much a movie appeals to elementary school kids.

I'll probably watch the ZS cut, but I am going to break it down into parts, for a couple of reasons. One is that I can barely even sit through a 2 hour movie anymore. two is that if its not resonating with me, I can kind of just walk away from it.

Apparently it drops at midnight tonight.

Crave, presumably only with the HBO add-on.

I only saw a little bit - thought it was cringey how Aquaman was leering at Wonder Woman.

It's already available in all the nefarious corners of the internet if you don't want to wait until tomorrow.

Tried to give it an honest chance. Lasted 20 minutes. Typical overdone, hokey Zack Snyder crap just saturates it.
Hack.

This movie is almost unbearably melodramatic.
Edit: that said, after doing some additional reading, I've gained a bit of an additional appreciation for the new release after learning that it gave the Snyders a bit of closure after the tragedy that took them away from the production in the first place.

I watched Shazam finally. Overall good but I expected more humor. Would be willing to watch a sequel.
