Where to begin with this waste of film? Everyone acknowledges the first film was below average and quite disappointing. Yet, this asinine sequel was far worse. It is very much like the first one in that it wasted a very good cast. It wasted a great concept and certainly wasted prime source material. The character deserves better and this cast and crew certainly deserved more than what we saw at the screen. I can't tell you how nonsensical the plot is when given any rational thought. The CGI actually has gone downhill so much so that it was jarring. When the effects of Spider-Man 3 are better than this all those years later you know they were cutting corners. This is honestly one of the 10 worst comic book movies of this century.
Fanboy cover aside, if you are being honest you have to admit this movie is idiotic. It strikes on the level of a very hollow and very shallow video game. There is no character depth and there is no supporting characters worth anything. You could say Dr Fate is the exception and I won't argue with that.. Pierce Brosnan did the best he could and that turned out to be better than this movie deserved. Everything else is a shallow idiotic CGI-fest. They absolutely miscast Hawkman by the way. The Rock maybe drawing some praise from the minority but the majority of people who saw this movie say it's ridiculous. I know the audience scores have been skewed as stats have been padded but in reality true word of mouth is hurting this movie.
After all the garbage that Disney Plus has put forth, it's so refreshing to get a quality entertaining one hour chunk of entertainment. I miss this and I miss real Marvel. There was nothing woke or nonsensical about this feature. It had a female hero that actually showed fear and actually had depth even though the story wasn't very complex. I'm so surprised to be honest. Everything post Endgame has been a poorly written shallow mess. Most fans have been disgusted by what has transpired labeling everything post Endgame simply as Phase Woke. Maybe Marvel and specifically Kevin Feige has gotten the message? All those years of greatness it was execs keeping Kevin Feige on a leash. Now, unleashed he has no clue but slowly I think he is learning that the Marvel he is fostering has cancer. It's features like this werewolf by night that is the chemotherapy that may just save Marvel after all.
