This movie was AWFUL....


....I heard stuff like .....This was the best DC movie since Wonder Woman....yada yada yada....sorry it really is not. Pretty bad. I'm really done with this shit. Feel sorry for the generation raised on these movies. It's pretty much all they want to see ...lol...and this is coming from a former huge comic fan....

Hardly an objective review. You never say WHY, for one thing.

TO ANGER PEOPLE WHO LIKED IT AND SPARK CONTROVERSY.

Never said it was a review ..

Would you be kind enough to share the reason(s) why you don't like it?

reply

Too silly and childish....but to be fair a lot of super hero films have gone that way. Kinda started with Guardians of the Galaxy. I prefer some of the tv shows like Punisher and Daredevil. Much darker toned ..

Good point. This generation is very 1 dimensional in their movies. The laughs are getting more predictable, the plots are becoming a mess, and the effects are meh.

I finally saw it over the weekend and have to agree. It was bad.

I'm 1/4 through and it is awful. I never read the comic, not a DC guy, but I remember the TV show and it was way better than this. Edit, 49 minutes in and this sucks. It's vapid, unfunny, and stupid, I'm out.

I disagree, it's a fun film and I liked it a lot! They got a lot of humor out of the idea of giving an obnoxious kid superpowers, the performances were good, there were plenty of action and laugh lines. It was fluffy, but well-done fluff.

Not as good as "Wonder Woman" though. I liked "Shazaam", I LOVED "Wonder Woman".

It's good but not great. Wonder Woman and Aquaman were better. It's a lot of fun and the cast is solid. Could had been about ten or fifteen minutes shorter.
