Birds of Prey (2020)

They ruined so many characters and so much potential

[2/10 · 22 March 2021]

Just for ruining Renee Montoya and esp Cassandra Cain alone, I hate this movie. How do you take one of the 5 most lethal and brutal fighters in all of the DC Universe and turn her into a cheap comic relief pickpocket? It's maddening.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)

As a DC guy I really hate Snyder's vision of the DCU

[2/10 · 22 March 2021]

I just can't do it. Snyder gets almost all the characters wrong yet again. It's a problem that's started with MOS and Snyder ruining Pa Kent and it's extended to other movies like BOP ruining Cassandra Cain, Dinah Lance and Renee Montoya. Justice League is no different. Sure it was some pretty slow mo fight scenes but that's all it excels at. Just like MOS's only redeeming quality was kryptonian fight scenes, I can say the same for this film. Even though it's 4hrs long I still feel he tried to cram way to much in. Like 3 movies worth of stories into one film (just like BvS.) the story falls flat still just like the other cut. The score and soundtrack are lackluster and depressing just like a majority of the movie. As a DC fanboy I wish they would just reboot this entire movie universe already and give us a product that matches the characters and makes them recognizable. WB doesn't know how to be true to the characters and have a successful product and it drives me insane.

Superman & Lois (2021–2024)

This is what a Superman story should be!

What a refreshing take on Superman again. I finally feel like I'm watching the character I've been reading for the last 30+ years. They get him so right! The cinematography is amazing and it feels like I'm watching a movie each week and not a TV show. I'm so happy CW/WB green lit this show because it's the best Superman portrayal in the last 15 years.
