Movie Review: ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE

ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE Director: Zack SnyderStarring: Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Ray Fisher, Jason Mamoa, Ezra Miller, Henry Cavill, Jeremy Irons, Ciarán Hinds, Joe Manganiello, Willem Dafoe, J.K. Simmons, Jared Leto, Amber Heard, Joe Morton, Kiersey Clemons Director Zack Snyder kicked off the new DC Extended Universe with Man of Steel in 2013. His third film in the franchise Justice League came out in 2017 and left fans bewildered and confused. It didn’t feel like the Zack Snyder tone we’d seen so far given the rewrites and reshoots at the hands of director Joss Whedon who came in after Snyder left production due to aRead More →

DC FANDOME

DC FANDOME DC FanDome was held Saturday, August 22 and was a smorgasbord of goodness for DC Comics fans. It was an immersive 24 hour event giving fans an inside look at their various movies, TV series, and games in development. I wanted to look at a few of their highly anticipated movies and provide a few of the trailers, teases, and images that made the event a huge success. THE BATMAN As you can probably imagine, this was my most highly anticipated panel and teaser. There’s no such thing as Batman overload in my opinion despite another take on this story. What we knowRead More →

THE DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (SO FAR…)

THE DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE (SO FAR…) Warner Bros, HBO Max, and director Zack Snyder announced today that they will release a new cut of the film Justice League. This was brought forth after years of valiant fandom claiming WB should #ReleaseTheSnyderCut. The thought behind this movement stems from the fact that Snyder left Justice League mid-production after the death of his daughter. It was never crystal clear as to how much of the film Snyder had finished before Joss Whedon came on board to do rewrites and finish directing the film. Fans pointed out the final product was tonally not what Snyder had in mindRead More →

Movie Review: AQUAMAN

AQUAMAN Director: James WanStarring: Jason Momoa, Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Dolph Lundgren, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Aquaman is the latest in the DC Extended Universe following Justice League where we first got to know this character. Jason Momoa returns as Aquaman and is called into action to be the hero he’s meant to be despite not wanting the responsibilities.There’s a war brewing between the humans and the species that lives below the water. Arthur/Aquaman is considered a half-breed as his father was human and his mother came from the water. He may be the only one to unite both sides when his brother, King Orm (Wilson),Read More →

Movie Review: JUSTICE LEAGUE

JUSTICE LEAGUE Director: Zach Snyder Starring: Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, Ezra Miller, Ray Fisher, Jeremy Irons, Amy Adams, Diane Lane, Connie Nielsen, J.K. Simmons, Ciarán Hinds, Joe Morton DC Comics continues to crank out movies in their superhero universe in hopes of veering the franchise in the right direction. Earlier this year we saw the release of Wonder Woman, which came as a sigh of relief for many fans and was the first big success for DC’s Extended Universe. Like the old saying goes, one step forward and two steps back for DC with Justice League. That’s not to say it’s terrible. IRead More →

Movie Review: WONDER WOMAN

WONDER WOMAN Director: Patty Jenkins Starring: Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Danny Huston, Connie Nielsen, Robin Wright, David Thewlis, Ewen Bremner, Elena Anaya Wonder Woman is the latest in the DC Extended Universe expanding on her storyline first introduced in Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice. There’s a lot riding on its success to keep this universe afloat after their previous movies have yielded mediocre reviews from audiences and critics. This version of Wonder Woman, with the dynamic Gal Gadot in the lead, traces the character back to her early days as a young Amazonian girl living off a private island shielded from Ares, the GreekRead More →
