As the title says, this movie is the perfect example of a movie made for fans, that doesnt make it bad, but it kinda is. The story is made as a resume of a very big part of the games original story, but it delivers it so fast and without a real meaning that it doesnt work at all. This along with the fact that they also add a lot of new stuff, like the drawings that control the animatronics, the visions of the older brother, the aunt and her story, those things take away focus that is needed in the main story, explaing the mistery that this whole pizzeria has, they just present you with elements from the games but dont dive into them, they essentially just work as references. With tthat said, as a fan of the games, I did enjoy and understood much better everything the movie was trying to day, but to someone who doesnt know a thing about the saga, its gonna be a bad and boring movie.

I liked this movie, I think it has some really great moments, the story is not bad at all, the action scenes, while they could be better, they are good and entertaining. The characters are good and fun to watch and its overall a good entertaining movie, but its just that. This movie had to be the next great superhero movie, it was even supposed to end DCs bad streak on movies, but it couldnt, it was too much job for this movie and I know that my expectations shouldnt affect my opinion on the movie but I really did believe this was an announced masterpiece, with all the marketing and confidence WB has in the Flash it truly got my expectations up.

But forgetting that this movie still has good and bad things, some of the good things as I said, were mainly the story and most of the characters. The story is very entertaining to watch and the main problem that causes all this is very touching. Just Flash wanting to save his mom, it could have been better if we saw more of this Flash to like him more but as it is, its okay. The characters are also its strong point, Batman and Supergirl steal all the scenes they are in, Ben Affleck gives us one last action scene and Keaton is both epic and funny all the time, Supergirl was also the best part, she is the main thing that makes this movie feel like an Elseworld and that something very relevant has changed and given that we havent seen Superman in a long while, seeing her is amazing, I even wish we got to see more of her because she is actually in just like 15 minutes of the whole film. But while I enjoyed all those thing I also didnt like quite a lot.

Mainly, the jokes and humor, I get that Flash is a lighthearded character that jokes around a lot, but in this movie it just go on my nerves, I think it has to be the fact that Ezra Miller is playing him, I dont care what he has done in real life, even in ZS Justice League I didnt really liked him in the role, I dont think hes that great of an actor and he gives me weirdo vibes and that also transaltes with the younger barry, he is super annoying and never shuts up, he barely has any funny lines and the way he turns evil at the end is actually laughable. And another of its biggest proiblems this movie has, the CGI, what happened, DCs CGI has always had problems sure, but almost all specil effects in this one look bad or weird, form how Flash runs, to the time bubble, to some characters faces, some fights, practically everything I dont know hows that possible for a blockbuster film.

But even with those bad thing I liked this movie and enjoyed it and it makes me a little sad that it flopped, I was hoping people would give it a chance to know the character and see the good virtues of the movie, but sadly that isnt happning, right now, DC is in the worst place it could be, its next 2 films are already looking like failures and the only possible movie that can save this shared universe is the new Superman film, I really hope the year of absence DC is going to have in 2024 helps people to see more of this characters because if not. This moght be the end of a shared universe in DC.

PD On an unrelated note I want to talk about the cameo sequence; that was the biggest let won for me, I was just expecting too much. I know thats entirely my fault because there werent even rumours or anything big for the movie, I had made my mind that since in the latest years on TV there had been a lot of crossovers between a lot of dc franchises, the same would apply here so I want nut and expected a lot, It was nice seeing the Superman and Supergirl from the 70s, I liked Nicholas Cage as Superman in a cameo and the little references to Adam Wests batman but I was expecting ALL the different universes to show up, Im talking about characters from the Arrowverse, from Titans, Doom Patrol, Swamp Thing, Stargirl, Lois and Superman, Constantine, Sandman, all the Batmans. Watchmen, Krypton, Lucifer, Gotham, City Sirens and even maybe Cartoon cameos like the DCAU, teen titans, etc. It may sound stupid and I now realize it actually is, but the Arrowverse managed to have something like this in its crossover of crisis on infinite earths and if a TV network managed that, a mayor studio can make even more. It was stupid to think that but I just wanted to see more cameos on the cameo sequence. It doesnt affect the movie at all but it was a let down for me.

This was exactly the movie that we needed, a fun superhero movie with a tone of heart and personality. This movie is the perfect way to say goodbye to the guardian ( at least to this first team) by having one of the most emotional stories in all Marvel. It is mainly because this movie is driven by the characters; there isnt an extremely overcomplicated plot and I dont think the galaxy is even in danger, its just an adventure of the guardians to save their friend and give him and some others closure in some way or another. I barely remembered how a good marvel movie was, but after watching this, I again have hope once again. The villain is also the best the team has ever had, its menacing and you hate him from the very first moment he appears, and if you ever had a pet, hes gonna break your heart into pieces. But there are little tiny things I didnt like, for once, I think it was just a little too long, there were times when I just felt like it was too much time for some scenes and stuff, then I think that this is the movie of the guardians with the least best jokes, having some weird moments where I didnt laugh, but they were just some times and my last complain is that at points they forget a little about other characters, everyone has their moments to shine and its amount of screentime making jokes but besides those few instances, they dont do much else. Still, the comeback Marvel needed, lets just hope the next movie doesnt make marvel be in the spot they were before this movie.

I was kind of expecting this movie to suck, while the trailers were a little funny, the story didn't caught my attention. But I still give it a try and it was worth it. I didn't thought it was great but it was entertaining enough to please me. The story is not anything from other world, its a simple fantasy adventure where we have to gather a team and get to our common goal; Ive never played the game before but I know how it goes and it is exactly what I would expect from this game, which it isnt a bad thing, it just made me to want and pay the game. The characters have their won motivations to join the team and despite some of these motivations being forgotten and never talked about they work well for the movie. The thing that this movie does greatly are the action scenes and the intrigue it creates around this fantasy world, the fights are super entertaining to watch and unique in their own way, somehting which I wasnt expecting, and the world just looks super interesting, I guess its the normal thing considering all the lore the game has, but here it isnt overwhelming and makes you build interest in this lands. But as I say, it isn't as intriguin as Lord of the Rings or something like that, but it still does an amazing job at what it wants to: to make you have a good time and make you laugh.

I was starting to get a bit tired from this franchise, despite me loving the third movie, on some rewatches, it felt like the only thing happening were action sequences, and they were still very impressive and memorable, its just that 2 and a half hours of that gets tiring at some point and I was a little afraid the same thing was going to happen here and on some degree it does, the action sequences are still very impressive and epic. But sometimes they last a little more than what they should, but this movie has much more story than its predecessors, now John Wick has more of an objective than just kill whoever tries to kill him, here, he really has a chance to be free again and with the help of other characters who also have better motivations in this one, he plans on getting it. Obviously the best thing of this movie are the fighting scenes, combined with their awesome cinematography, music and choreographys it makes for a great experience. I already talked about some some of them lasting a bit too much but that doesnt affect the film as much as it could have. And in this one, we have a more clear villain, who you hate from the first scene from which he appears, he is bad. Elegant and menacing, he is awesome. The side characters and new ones introduced are also very interesting and entertaining to watch, mainly Cain, who I hope gets a spin off or something. And all the movie is like this, the best quality of action a movie can have but stopping at the right times so it doesnt get tiring enough. And finally I want to say that the finale was the best it could have been for this saga, the tension depsite not being a fight is the greatest Ive ever felt watching these movies, you are genuinly terrified from whats about to happen, and you dont want to watch the outcome but you have to because its where everything gets defined. It is definitely, the WORTHY ENDING John Wick deserved.

I was really excited to see this movie, the first movie was one of the most fun and unique movies from DC and this one looked like it was going to be the same, I started to worry a little bit with the bad marketing it was having but I didnt care, as long as it was as good and as emotional as the first one, everything was going to be fine. But it wasn't as good as the original. It lacks the original charm it had and I think thats in part to the fact that the kids dont appear as much as in the first one or as much as their adult hero versions of them. The kids and their personalities were the base of the original and most importantly, the relationship between Billy and his lost mother, we have something similar here, with billy trying to be more controlative with his nw family, but it doesnt hit as hard as it should. Billy and Shazam are a little bit annoying at some points. The jokes he says arent as funny and dont always land, the ones that land are a blast, but more often than not, they just stay as a little laugh. The other members of the family basically have nothing to do other than to lose their powers despite having a lot more of potential. And freddy, is actually very annoying in this movie, while in the first one he was kinda the comedic relief and the one who always said the final funny line, they take that same concept here to a 1000% and kinda ruin it, making him say a joke on every conversation he has and it gets old really quickly, the villains are also very inferior to the last one. Dr Sivana really felt like a bad guy and a real threat. The new villains are okay, but just that, they have an interesting back story but it doesnt get a lot of focus and their interactions always feel like the same and despite being a much bigger threat to the city and the Shazam Family, you dont feel as invested as you were on the last movie. The special effects are good, the actins is also good, the phase is good, everything is good; but when the last movie was great, it feels like a massive drawback. With all this said, I want to say that I still enjoyed the film and I had a great time watching it and it deserves a lot more of attention because it is genuinly good considering the state of the superhero moveis these days, but it isnt enough, it needed to be much more and while Im not really dissapointed, I wished we got something more.

I was really surprised with how good this show turned out to be. At this point in time, all DC shows, mostly CW shows, were trash and this one seemed to have a lot of similarities with those ones. But I still watched it and Im glad I did. It feels like a perfect classic story of DC. The best of the show is by far, the characters, Stargirl, the entire JSA, all of the ISA, Courtney's family, all of them are the best. Watching them become superheroes and give their best is really cool and is done in a perfect way, they are almost the same from the comics and I love that. Season 1 is by far the best season, the way they introduce the characters and create the conflict is eprfect, I couldnt stop watching the show, and I binged it in like 2 days. The second season was a big downgrade, the characters were still good and the problems they had were interesting but at this point a lot of characters were starting to get introduced, making each character's screentime very little. The villain, Eclipso while good, it wasn't as good as the ISA and sometimes you even forget about him. But the biggest mistake in the second season was the finale, everything felt rushed, characters coming out of nowhere without any explanation and a bad ending for the villain. This second season was dissapointing, but only because the first one was perfect, so it was still good. The third season is the weakest one, because for most of the season instead of a main villain, we have a mistery plot, this sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. There are points in this season in which you feel that nothing has changed and you want something to happen, and while the characters get more development, its not a lot. It is until the last episodes in which things start making sense and are becoming interesting. Still a fine and entertaining season but not as good as the first one and more on pair with the second. It is a shame that this show was cancelled, ecause it was actually good and it felt like it had some more stories to tell. The finale felt very rushed but I prefer that over not getting a finale at all. All I can say is "It was good while it lasted"

I have just watched this show until the 3rd season. So with that said, I have mixed feelings for this show, on one side I love all this characters and Im just happy to see them adapted in live action, but on the other hand, they are just so different from their OG version that they are practically different characters. The ebst example of this is Robin or later Nightwing, in the comics he is always the optimistic guy, the voice of reason, the guy that always helps people and is always smiling. He is completly different now, he is much more darker. At the beginning he didnt even wanted to help Raven and while its weird its kinda makes sense for the story, he is supposed to become nicer and on later seasons he is, not as nice as in the comics, but he is. The other characters have the same situations, they are darker and just keep a little of their og personalities of the comics, but they progressively get closer to those. The story is fine for the 3 season, but just that, fine. There are really good episodes sometimes and other times you just want to fall sleep, it also doesnt help that the cast is way too big; in the second season, its massive and we often have to ignore some plots in order to progress others, but losing a lot of time in othe rinteresting things; anothe problem is how often they try to introduce new characters and then forget about them, there are episodes in which Beast Boy or Super boy do nothing. Its way too crowded here, they should really get a smaller cast in order to flesh each one of them more. Another problem is that the show is sometimes trying to be edgy just for the sake of being edgy, not all episoes need to have blood, and while I normally like dark edgy stories, this is too much. And my final problem with the story is how some problems are just resolved in 1 episode. For example, in the first episode of the second season, they just get rid of Trigon in a couple of minutes; Trigon was supposed to be this evil bad guy that was unstoppable and they tried the entire first season to stop him from returning but then it seems so easy just to stop him. And this trend continues all the seasons, there are too many storylines, most of them end poorly, most characters get to do nothing and each episode were just jumping from new introduced character to new introduced character. With that said, I still enjoyed the show; as I said in the beginning I just really like the characters and despite their changes, I still love them and I just like to see them in action.
