Didn't you have time to watch any this week, life has been busy, but I'm sure you all have, so let's discuss!
There were parts of it that were well done. Having the two Barry's, one older, one younger, was absolutely believable. Later adding Dark Flash also worked. Michael Keaton Batman was fantastic. As you say, Supergirl was excellent.
But the only way to enjoy it is to look past the really awful VFX shots. I give them total props for putting in George Reeves, Adam West, Christopher Reeve, Helen Slater, and freakin' Nicholas Cage fighting a giant spider... but man... the shots were plastic. Some kid could have done a better job with action figures.
Even if you want to argue that the Time Bubble/Cross Universe stuff is supposed to look distorted, that still doesn't excuse the Babies in Danger^TM sequence.
Rewatched Jurassic Park (it’s roughly its 30th anniversary) … that shit holds up well, better than I expected and I’m a fan. I don’t think I’d watched it all the way through for quite a long time, but I saw it in the cinema as a kid, it thrilled me then and was awesome again now.
Sometimes you forget how “woke” some older mainstream media is/was. Like there’s vegetarianism, anti-capitalism, feminism “humanity is the real monster” and environmentalism in that film. And cool dinosaurs too.
The Last Voyage of the Demeter - was an interesting take on the old Dracula legend. The movie had great atmosphere and some solid performances.
I watched The Dark Knight (2008) for the first time just now. It was a film that I wanted to watch for a while.
Aside from the Two-Face scenes, which get old very quickly, I think that the Dark Knight is an absolute banger of a film.
