Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom

Rating: 3 out of 5.

What else do we really need to know about Aquaman, aside from his roots? Well, the previous movie entry left us a cliffhanger and it only meant that of course, it is another DC Movie, so we will have to expect something but it took them at least 5 years to have a follow up movie which I think is very long considering there’s so much to have it connected with, I guess trying t connect movies from the DC Universe is a little too complicated because they ahve been failing on doing such from the previous years. All we had were Batman and Wonder Woman having a consistent entry but not so exciting too, I’d rather watch Suicide Squad repeatedly because the story line is quite better than the mainstream heroes lately.

The Flash Review: Is it Worth it or a Flop?

Rating: 2 out of 5.

I have been a dignified self-proclaimed The Flash fan since the start of my blogging. Everyone knows how I am widely capable to geek out when it comes to DC Universe. I have a wide range of knowledge when talking about each of the Justice League super heroes and many more. Last month, June 2023, Warner Bros. released The Flash movie, considering that it was initially proposed to be released sometime in September. Well, having it early must be a good thing, I’d say. However, the initial released garnered less than it was expected to have. As per the numbers, just this week they met their target gross profit which is very poor compare to other Justice League Superhero movies that were released previously. Just like the Shazam: Fury of the Gods, it barely survived the public judgment.

Shazam: The Fury of the Gods

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Okay, so from having a superpower and then having his family join him as superhero, Shazam is actually getting in this momentum of having a superhero life but as a teenager, Billie is not exactly on track. Because right now he is actually getting confused of what he really does, to top that, he wants his group to unite but how can he do that if everything he wanted is for his glory or what he only thinks was right.

This movie is directed by David F. Sandberg, starring Zachary Levi as Shazam and Asher Angel as Billy Batson, following up the first movie of the same title, Shazam, the second installment has been released last March 2023. Giving us an other dose of Shazamily and another story to cling on with the DC Universe.

Before we even go further, let me just keep a disclaimer like the usual. Click only when you’re ready for some spoilers.

Suicide Squad 2: (A Moview)

Where do I have to begin? Well, First this is another DC Movie that can possibly reconnect all the DC upcoming movies and series and this might be the better version of all the villain-turned-hero movies of all time. I guess we all know how directors nowadays are filling up the gaps of superhero movies by creating sequels for the villains’ side of the story. which suicide squad was familiar of; other samples will be Legends of Tomorrow, Bird of Prey and the other films that we’ve seen through out the years. Although I should admit, at first I was a little skeptical because I didn’t like the first film for the Suicide Squad, and I didn’t actually expect that they will creating another one based on the same story.

Okay for those who don’t know the Suicide Squad at all, so these are the group of villains from different cities and defeated by DC heroes. Imma tell you some of them later on. So these people were basically sent to a mission, which is practically a suicide mission (yeah, that’s where they got the name, technically.) Most of them were either getting killed or getting killed there’s no way out unless they have some kind of magic as if they have nine lives just like Harley Quinn. Yes, Harley is goddess of the squad. She basically is the only one who eventually survives a serious hit every time. That’s her big luck, I guess? Well anyway, this moview is a little detailed with so many spoilers including the upcoming (possible) plans for DC Universe. I know, I have to say this ones again, I geek on these kinds of reviews especially when it comes to DC Films.

Disclaimer: Please watch Suicide Squad 2 before you continue with this review. Any spoilt events are at reader’s risk.

Justice League: Snyder’s Cut (A Moview)

We all have seen the 2017 version of the Justice League which was directed by Joss Whedon (the director of The Avengers). The 2017 version was originally credited to Zack Snyder but was forced to step out of the project because of personal reasons.

Just an early disclaimer: for those who haven’t watch both versions (2017 and Zack’s) please watch it first. Zack Snyder’s version is available in HBO Max and 2017 version is available in Netflix.

With that said, Joss had to do some fixing and he needs to finish what Zack had started and that brought us the said 2017 Justice League where Batman was able to put together the team that consists Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg and the newly resurrected Superman. But to all of the DC Fans, we were not THAT happy of the movie, you wanna know why? Because the movie was like fast forwarded without any substance and basically, the DC Extended Universe was ignored and only fragments from comics were included. Okay, that’s where fans hoped that there will be somehow ‘other’ version of the movie. Fans made it possible by bombarding social media with the campaign of having Snyder’s Cut of the Justice League. There was even a ‘Snyder Cut’ website made just to support this campaign. And then finally Warner Bros. announced on HBO Max the whole Snyder Cut last 2020. The campaign which was led for years has finally paid off!

And just recently, 18th of March 2021, the 242 minutes-long Snyder’s Cut of Justice League is released.

I’m not gonna go around the bush anymore, I will straight tell you the whole verdict and comparison, right here, right now!
