i seriously haven’t seen a movie even a fraction as bad as that in my life, it’s baffling how bad it is. i saw it with some friends and we all considered leaving at some point but didn’t, though someone next to us did in our relatively empty theater (it just came out yesterday! lmao). i feel so hollow after seeing that, in a way it’s just so anti-art and anti-human. this is the logical endpoint of capeshit, i’ve never been so pessimistic about the state of blockbusters

    Do you have a summary of what happens and why it is bad? I assumed it would be awful but it would be nice to have my suspicions confirmed in quantifiable ways

      It might be because I was in a nice mood, but I liked it.

      I’m never going to see it again, unless drunk, high or in the company of drunk or high friends where we all watch it while talking and eating and only half paying attention, but I did enjoy my time in the movie hall.

      IMO, it’s like watching someone’s fan made movie where all these characters do shit they wouldn’t actually do in a real movie. The CGI is awful. Ezra Miller can’t act. The story is hilariously bad. But when you take it all together, it makes you nostalgic for the time when you just mashed superhero figures together and imagined scenarios in your mind.

      Plus, they showed us the wrong movie (Elemental) for the first half hour which just by the little bit we saw looked ten times better. It had a short film based on Up that was cute, too

      i really, really hated the writing it was just really dumb, cgi was god awful, the humor was grating and painful, the cameos were short but pretty egregious, a lot of it was actually just boring, and the acting was pretty atrocious

      i guess the best way to describe it would be that it feels ai generated
