Justice League War

A forgettable, yet slickly executed action spectacle with paper thin, unlikeable characters and a bare bones plot. After an hour, I was still waiting for the movie to start. If you want a good Justice League introduction, look no further than the first episode of Bruce Timm's sublime 2001 series and forget this ever existed.

3/10.

Uhhh that's harsh :lol

Sorry Gaspar buddy. I was so pumped going in, especially after the sublime Flashpoint Paradox, but I ended up waiting for the movie to start until I realized it was nearly over.

Everyone is horribly characterized as well. Lantern is cocky, Batman is dumber than his other incarnations (explaining his back story to someone else is something he would never do), Superman's a ******, Flash had the personality of a cardboard box, Captain Mar.. I mean Shazam is a horny overgrown kid, Cyborg is just there at the flick of s switch, and Wonder Woman behaves like a teenage girl. The heroes "band together" because the story told them to and had no chemistry whatsoever. It's blatantly apparent when their grand plan to beat Darkseid was to "blind him."

Darkseid is a tank floating around waiting for someone to beat the crap out of him. And where was law enforcement all this time? No news coverage at all?

It's like I'm watching Justice League: 4th Graders Unite!.

That's fair, I agree that the story is super dumb and thin, but I liked the characterizations, GL is usually cocky, he was just toned up a bit, and Flash was toned down but I still think he was very likeable, Cap was funny IMO, a bit childish yeah but you know, he is a kid :lol I assume you mean Superman's line: "what can you do?" I thought that was funny, he was up against a suicidal parademon, then a guy that emanated green light, so when he faced a man dressed as a bat, it was a pretty obvious question and IMO pitch perfect, other than that can't think of any other possibly dbag moments.

For Batman, it was a leap of faith, GL needed a catalyst to trust Bats and put his **** together and his confession did it, I don't think he was dumb, he figured a big chunk of what was going on by himself and saved Supes.

I thought WW and Cyborg were cool too.

Despite being a dumb movie, with an excuse to have an all out super brawl, I enjoy it a lot, it's super fun.

Yes FP paradox is way way superior, but War is better than SoB IMO.

Have you seen JLA adventures trapped in time? Another dumb plot but this time intentionally dumb, it's a love letter to Super Friends, just a silly JLA movie, worth a watch.

PS: sorry for the long reply.

Godzilla: 5/10 - guest staring in his own film, intriguing idea that failed
Days of Future Past: 8/10 - it wasn't a Wolverine flick and it worked out pretty well
 
Personally I love Revolutions, they really threw a ton of philosophical themes, and left a lot open to be interpreted, but I always thought it closed out the series perfectly. I get why most hated it though, tonally it feels so different from its predecessors, its dark, bleak, and at times depressing, but by the end it all comes together perfectly in my opinion.

Still I get why most hated it, so I’m not trying to convince anybody of anything, but for me, the whole trilogy really works, and are more than just cool action films.

I’m actually hoping the rumors are true and the Wachowski’s are indeed working on a new prequel trilogy. The franchise has some real untapped potential, especially with technology these days.

Might give it another try. I bought it previously viewed blindly on a whim since I loved the first two. My cousin's husband is the only other person I've heard say that they like it. I hated the lack of closure most and I remember the lack of the actual Matrix a bit boring.

I agree you with you. I think the Flashpoint Paradox is great and the Dark Knight Returns is heavenly for me, so I was very disappointed in JL: War. I didn't like any of the characters, and Darkseid was a shallow video game boss character, so I had no motive to finish it when I first watched it. Son of Batman is even worse in my opinion. I'm hoping Arkham War is much better, and as an Aquaman fan, I'm hoping they blow that one out of the water.

The Dark Crystal - 8 /10

Old school goodness - love it. :cool:

It's not on Netflix, but after watching Labyrinth and Never Ending Story I've been wanting to see that one for the first time and give Willow a second chance. Any other '80s fantasy flicks in a similar vein?

Yeah man - Legend is good, & Krull is one I haven't seen in years, but it's in that category too.

Of course there's the Conan films, & the original Clash Of The Titans, MOTU etc.
