I was shocked. CGI was good too and George Lopez stole the show.

Yeah as a Mexican-American myself, this movie was an absolute blast. Could relate to so much of the humor and heart of the characters, easily my favorite DC movie

I'm as white as they come and I still found the humor and family characters so freaking relatable. They knocked it out of the park, they really did.

The Flash was the same and just as good as BB, albeit the CGI in The Flash was garbage.

It was okay. Generic and kinda corny superhero origin movie, but Xolo is great and I appeciate the Hispanic culture on display.

6 / 10

No it's not. Just a new character who will be in the DCU

It's a solid movie, but it's going to bomb financially. Might be DC's biggest bomb ever.

Nobody else I know has even heard of this movie's existence. Terrible marketing.

It's a pretty solid superhero movie, but I think everyone is just so tired of superhero movies that you have to be exceptional to make an impact these days.

Honestly, I thought it was really disjointed. The scenes were fine, but there wasn't the storytelling to explain why each scene followed the next. Especially when the family decides to rescue Jamie. Mighty "convenient" there was a flying beetle machine to take you to the evil genius island lair. (Which wouldn't have been so odd if they'd shown it's existence - aka foreshadowing - when Ted Kord's superhero base was first discovered.)

Plus, I'm really sick of superheroes being portrayed as not wanting their newfound powers. Seriously, you just got "powers beyond those of mortal men"... and you're complaining?!?! Fuck that shit, I'd be happy as a clam.

And why was there a major US city in the Florida Keys?!? Hurricanes are a regular occurrence in Florida... and you'd be rebuilding every year.

Also, if they were renting their house... why did the end have them come back to rebuild it? It's not their property.

Finally, why did a megacorp have a private army? Government's really don't like that sort of thing... unless your are Russia. But exceptions prove the rule.

---

Addendum:

The scene of the private megacorp army storming the Reyes house was a nearly one-for-one reenactment of the footage of the Elian Gonzalez fiasco.

And the flashback memory scene of the main OMAC bad guy was a redo of Vietnam War footage... but now in Guatamala?

You think the oil companies don't have there own PMC's acting as security around the world?

PMCs don't have futuristic combat VTOLs.

It's a comic book movie.
