Man, the annoying thing with I Am Legend is it could have been a decent adaptation if they’d kept the original ending. Stupid test audience.

I think there’s only one logical course of action to take with another Constantine film - Crisis on Infinite Constantines. Keanu, Matt Ryan and Jenna Coleman all at once! Throw a Sting cameo in there too. Hell, track down that guy who told Alan Moore the secret of magic whilst we’re at it.

FTFY.

I watched it again recently having just completed my grand Hellblazer read through, and for the first half, he’s actually not a million miles away from at least playing it like book Constantine. Then it all goes a bit whizz-bang in the last act.

Holy crap Nicky on Kung Fu is going to find Stormbringer? Hope that ends better for her than it did for Elric of Melnibone 

I agree, Keanu’s Constantine was entertaining if not really capturing the spirit of the comics Constantine in the same way that Matt Ryan did. If they ever get around to writing a script (a fairly important component) and making it I would watch too though I somewhat doubt it happens 

Personally I felt like the movie conveyed the anguish there okay.

I only pointed it out to show that at least for the “pros” there seems to be mostly positive reviews for the films released by DC/Warners since roughly Aquaman... and yet with Black Adam the “pros” seem to be very unimpressed with that film.

I was surprised to hear that Seth Rogen is making more Sausage Party, because that movie’s reviews felt like they were split into two camps:

This movie might be great - I can’t wait to see it.

Here we go again:

Get ready to have your world (somewhat) rocked: For the more recent DC movies released, almost all of them minus Black Adam and Wonder Woman 84 have pretty solid aggregate critical reactions by the “pro” critics (I’m going here by films that were released, even if briefly, to theaters before appearing on the streaming…

That seems to be the disconnect between the professional critics and the regular movie-goers. The later seem to be able to sit back, shut off their brain, and enjoy the show, I guess, while the pro critics are perhaps looking for something more substantial and feeling the film didn’t do that.

Been another rather rough, emotionally, month getting things done regarding all the various estate and legal issues and... Man, it feels like I”m just now coming up for a little air.

I think it’s perfectly reasonably to have a plan beyond the first entry, but yeah, that first entry at least should absolutely be designed to work wholly alone (which doesn’t mean everything must be tied up in a neat bow, but the main threads need to reach a satisfying resolution). How can you expect an audience to…

I think I would rather have a 3rd season of The Exorcist TV series rather than that planned movie trilogy

So it’s a bit of Scrooged’s ideal come to reality.

I thought it looked like the DCEU version of Eternals. Which was not a flop, exactly, and didn’t have a Dwayne Johnson-like superstar (Jolie aside), but didn’t set the world on fire either. (It probably didn’t help that it came out at a time when COVID was still predominant.) But Eternals had the entire MCU — over two…

“Dwayne Johnson’s done well in promoting this film”

I suspect many people began to realize they need not go to an actual movie theater to see a film and... they were OK with that.
