ChichiriMuyo 12/27/22 2:00:24 AM #24:	It's not a good movie. The Rock was very bland. Virtually no charisma. Stupid/bad misdirect that doesn't work and leads to a "reveal" anyone would see a hundred miles away. The movie is constantly telling not showing, especially with Hawkman's garbage dialogue. Also if I hear the phrase "I'm not a hero" one more time in any movie I will probably just walk out after this. The "natives" really don't make it clear enough that the Justice Society, in trying to stop Adam, are propping up a regime that is clearly a Taliban analogue. This is the part of the movie I hate the most. They could have really given the movie some great dramatic tension with this aspect, and they basically throw it away because "we can't really make American superheroes look out of touch and doing more harm than good." The main villain was basically stupid, tacked on at the last minute nonsense. I'll say no more to avoid spoilers. Pierce Brosnan was alright, but his role in the movie is nowhere near big enough to save it. Also there were two other super heroes and I'm not going to pretend I don't remember their names, but I don't remember them contributing anything to the story other than "hi, I'm here too!" Yeah, so my biggest positive is Pierce Brosnan was alright in his small, second tier role. --- "If you ever feel good about yourself, just look on the Internet." - Ryan Reynolds <cite>ChichiriMuyo posted [p:970431775] in If you've ...

TheRock1525 12/27/22 2:04:45 AM #25:	Saw it. Just isn't a good movie. Way too many bland exposition dumps that feel downright insulting to the audience. Characters that supposedly have relationships prior to the film are lacking in believable chemistry, and having someone as charismatic as The Rock being this dour, bland, monotone character just feels like a waste. It's not the worst superhero movie I've watched but it's just horribly uninspired with a weak script and weaker performances. --- TheRock ~ I had a name, my father called me Blues. <cite>TheRock1525 posted [p:970431806] in If you've ...
