And I thought "Bright" was a checklist/algorithm driven product.
I have been uninspired/unwilling to watch any of the recent comic extravaganzas.
But this's got everybody! What could go wrong!
I refuse to accept that I have 'matured' to the point of not being able to give myself over to 'comic' universes. My maturity settings are safely encrypted and password protected from change from exterior threats. And, I recently praised a lower budget movie as a better comic book movie than the blockbusters.
My fallback position with weak storied sci-fi/fantasy is to just enjoy the candy onscreen.
But this is filled with 'that's good enough' CGI effects. It's like being invited to dinner with "It ain't very good but there's lots of it!"
I've had it up to here with just about enough of more than I can stand of super-powered fistfights. I never realized that my comic heroes were actually too stupid to fix things otherwise.
Time for my favorite review line:
However, I did take notice of Ezra Miller, who I couldn't place until I looked and realized that he was the monster in what I still contend is a very good horror film: 2011 "We Need to Talk About Kevin". His 'presence' as an actor presages many good possibilities if he can wean himself away from blockbuster money, which I wouldn't do either.
