Interesting, I'm wondering if Superman even came to this universe so when Zod shows up he easily takes over Earth.

Also seeing Keaton in Batgirl confirms were getting a Batgirl Beyond story, should be pretty sweet. Hopefully they move it to theatres. Recently Blue Beetle was moved to theatres, this should as well.

Also, I wonder if it's a typo or a multiverse joke that Keaton was listed twice?
It's gotta be Zod. One of the actors who played his henchperson, Antje Traue, is also on there.

Maybe Superman joins Zod?

This Flash movie just keeps getting crazier and more all over the place....if they pull it off it'll be a feat.

Just another in a long line of attempts to make Superman interesting.

The trailers for Resurrections had me hopeful, despite how disappointing Reloaded and Revolutions were on the whole. I really, really enjoyed Resurrections.

Looks great. I love that Marvel is taking it next level and tying all these TV shows and movies together.

Well that remains to be seen, Strange referencing Westview in the trailer might be the only nod to Wandavision. It seems to me they self-contained each of the series enough that the events within can be explained with a few lines of dialogue in the movies to keep things simpler for movie only fans. With Wandavision Vision is still dead and Wanda is on her own, just like how it started. With Falcon/Winter Soldier, Sam is the new Captain America, the same as the end of Endgame. And the Loki stuff is so off-the-wall that none of the series or shows that came after reference it at all. I doubt we'll ever see one of the Disney+ series have major impact in the movies that would make it required viewing

It was better than the previous two, but it was still pretty trash for the most part. I enjoyed the premise and creativity but there were some truly horrific, eye-rolling moments that took me out of the film (e.g. the Star Wars-esque, muppet machines, horrible CGI).

Stoked for resurrections. Heard its a divisive film whose core isn't around the action but an emotional premise.


Some people are going to hate it.

I'm going to go into it with an open mind. The fact is that the action can be fun, but 'an emotional premise' just means that it has an actual story.

I'm remember the sequels and the writing, dialogue, pacing and editing were so bad, its like they were done by film-school dropouts.

The action wasnt the problem.

I really enjoyed it. Easily the best Matrix film outside of the first I’d say. It’s not an action packed spectacle on par with the sequels but IMO a better film.

I actually did think it was action packed. There were a lot of action scenes in it, they just weren't remotely well done.

I thought the first half and premise (even if they took some of it too far) was interesting and really enjoyed it. I though the second half really limped to the finish and was kind of a mess.

Wachowski and her sister were the ones that did those minute long continuous fight sequences which were some of the most impressively choreographed in all of cinema outside of some martial arts films.

Surprised she changed up the style in this film. Seems more cut/chopped up based on what I've seen. Hopefully it's coherent at least.

That's about as close to a remake as you can get without being a remake. All the callbacks got a little too much.

I really liked the premise and how they unrolled it all. As mentioned I think the 2nd half wasn't as strong but it was still pretty good.

Far better than the 2nd and 3rd but I think it's almost impossible to do better than The Matrix.

I do hope there's another couple of movies it would be nice for the universe to have some closure.

The sunglasses killed the end for me. Ripped me right back to the 90s. Ugh.

At 22 seconds they confirm that Gotham does indeed have daylight.

That does look very good. Grounded, dirty, noir Batman has always been my favourite version.
