Smith's script for "Superman Lives" was TERRIBLE (and it all can't be blamed on Jon Peters).

"I think the biggest problem with the pop-culture jokes…is that they will date the movie. Watch it five or six years from now and those lines will jar. But they got laughs in the cinema."

Ha, ha. Another AV Club article critiquing the DCEU. How original.

A story on the DCEU that was barely negative. Imagine that. Biases can sometimes be checked at the door.

I know it's sacrilege but the 2005 version of King Kong is vastly superior to the 1933 original (which was obviously revolutionary in its special effects but is pretty creaky in its storytelling).

Netflix shows are great? Really? I find them to be overlong, bloated, meandering, and completely lacking in any narrative drive. Like, "Let's take a decent story and stretch it out to be five times longer than it needs to be and then remove all of the dramatic highs and lows so that everything has a monotonous…

That was my biggest problem with the Godfather movies, too: Not enough color, not enough jokes. When will filmmakers learn that everything should be peppy?

Erik the Viking was directed by Terry Jones, not Terry Gilliam.

"As the first movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to be distributed by an outside studio, the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming represents a big step forward for the partnership between Marvel Studios and Sony."

I'm a DCEU fan (I actually loved Man of Steel and BvS). So that's my bias. But I still find the Marvel movies to be mostly entertaining. That said, those Thor movies are torture to get through.

How could you give this film a C+? I'm an unapologetic fan of the DCEU films (I loved "Man of Steel" and "BvS") but "Suicide Squad" is one of the worst films I have ever seen. It's incompetence is on a par with "Jaws: The Revenge." Again, I'm a DC fan and a vocal champion of the much reviled "BvS" and yet even I think…

I'm a DC Comics movie fan and I haven't thought of this film in at least a decade if not longer. I would describe it as being "aggressively mediocre." As a fan of the Burton films (especially the second one) I remember being disappointed in the third film.

Ranking:

TFA lacked ambition and delivered mediocrity. Mission accomplished.

I honestly feel that the prequels were better than TFA.

I guess it's kinda like making a series of schwarma jokes after "saving" NYC and leaving it in total ruin.

BvS made more money than NINE OF THE THIRTEEN Marvel films that it keeps getting negatively compared to. How about a little perspective?

The Marvel movies are mediocre and aging terribly. Try rewatching them. They're already creaky. And RDJ's meta humor takes me out of the films every single time.

"It's just so grim and so joyless."

"given the mostly negative reaction to the overly dark trailer"
