We have a lot of opinion’s on the “movie” this week, and they are all over the spectrum. Is this version of Justice League better than Whedon’s? You don’t even have to listen to the episode for the answer, it is definitely better. However this doesn’t mean that it is good. It’s complicated, and we ramble on for a bit about how a movie can be both bad and good at the same time.
Enjoy!
I know, I know, how could anyone possibly complain about anything in regards to 2020. I also know that with the very long list a history changing problems last year, that our opinions on some of the movies seems pretty trivial. I can’t disagree with that sentiment. But getting together (virtually) every week to watch and talk about movies was one of the ways we found our own balance last year, so just bare with us as we discuss the films that were awful and the ones that “didn’t make us mad, they just disappointed us”. No, but some of those movies also made us mad.
Enjoy!
We haven’t watched Justice League since it was released in 2017, but thought that we should revisit it before the 4 hour behemoth that is the “Snyder Cut” is released in March. Our original feelings were pretty bad, maybe Roy kinda liked it…maybe, but perhaps the longest 4 years ever softened our hearts and made it so we could enjoy some escapism fun when we need it the most.
Enjoy!
This week we discuss some of the news to come out of the DC event, DC Fandome. We can all agree that the name left something to be desired, but did Warner Bros give us enough new information to get us excited about Wonder Woman 84, The Batman, The Suicide Squad, and the Snyder cut of Justice League? We even dive into the first looks of some of the new video games being release from DC. So much on the horizon, so much of it looks dull.
Enjoy!
As a group, we here at COtR have been fairly split on the post Dark Knight films that make up the DC Extended Universe. On the high end of the spectrum we have moderate acceptance of a movie, while the low end as been a visceral hatred that rivals the feelings towards The Phantom Menace. Could Wonder Woman be the beacon of light the DCEU needs to find its way back to a place of respectability? Can Wonder Woman step out of the grim shadows cast by Batman vs. Superman and Suicide Squad? If you have seen anything about this movie, you probably already know the answers to these questions, but here are our opinions on the subject anyway.
Enjoy!
