Michael Jackson probably is Ezra Miller.
He showed up around the time when he died… |

How come a gender queer is playing Barry Allen anyway? Barry Allen was all man. Need straight white men playing our straight white heroes.

Early reports say that this is one the best super hero movies ever made. Feels like the same is said about every single DC film these days.

They need to fix these actor problems before they try to sell us this shit.
I’m pretty done with any Superhero shit now that both brands are pumping out duffers and retaining psycho’s with sexual issues. |

Getting choked up seeing Michael Keaton. Can’t wait. I hope this is fun. Decent chance I’ll see it opening day.

If Ezra Miller wasn’t such a fucked up person he would be the biggest star in the world after this movie.

Ben Affleck’s bat-suit in this movie is the worst bat-suit ever put on film.

With the extensive reshoots and reedits this was always going to lose money the question now is how much. Initial budget was $220 million but the troubled post production puts this into who knows what.
Marketing efforts havent been small either. Good word of the mouth though...with small week over week drops this could have legs. It will have to. Ultimately though i think warner know this is going to be a loss and are just looking to build forward. |

Gonna see it tonight. Really excited for Keaton. I was 3 and 6 when Batman and Returns came out. He’s the reason I fell in love with Batman and why he ended up being my favorite superhero. Returns was also the last movie I saw with my parents, just us 3, before my siblings got old enough to study moviegoing with us. So there’s definitely some sentimental value in getting to see Keaton as Batman over 30 years later.
I’m sure the movie will be fine. Affleck suit sucks but I’m happy to see him get one more quick shot at a character he really was perfect for but got salted with a shitty director way when for BvS. I don’t expect it to be groundbreaking or anything. If it’s enjoyable for 2 hours that’ll be enough for me. |

Also going to see it tonight. Already had one thing semi-spoiled, so I gotta see it sooner rather than later.

And there's still hope, but its not great. Cinemascore has the audience reaction as a B making it tied for the lowest audience rating of a DC property with Batman v Superman. For someone who wants a recast this is good news but for the people who love the character id like to see it perform a bit better. |

I don’t think it was getting a sequel regardless. I enjoyed it greatly. It’s nothing amazing. Just a decently good story about loving your mom and accepting your fate. Keaton was stellar. Gets a great sendoff.

I think this movie does have one of the best endings ever. It’ll never be paid off, but that’s ok.

This could end up passing John Carter as the most expensive bomb of all time. Warner is offering 2 for 1 tickets in major markets to try and get any money whatsoever just 10 days after release.

Come a long way from the "hype" it was seemingly getting from critics about being one of the best super hero films of modern times.....
I did enjoy it and all but I feel like the "critical hype" hurt my experience because it was just like "that was ok, I guess". If the critics had trashed it and I went to see it I might have come out saying "that was great!" |

If you make a movie or really anything don’t say it’s the best … ever!
Just be like “it’s pretty good ” |

Again it is an awesome ending.
And the CGI is atrocious. |

Overhyping things is def an issue viral marketing has (and a ton of reviewers are just paid shills)

Id say thats pretty unlikely. I think he's contracted at paramount so i lean hard towards no. I dont think tom cruise is a person id go to for good taste either but hey im glad he liked it.

My comment wasnt about this film as much as the state of the industry. Most of these reviews coming out today have been financially compromised.

Reviews are worth reading if you have already seen a film, if not they are as likely to misguide you. I’ve been using bad reviews as a sign that I’ll enjoy a cheap comedy pretty consistently for years with solid success. Other than that, I only read them if I like the reviewer.

I like metacritic to see what a general consensus is shaping up to be but I think the real strat is finding a reviewer who likes things for the same reasons you like them. You may not agree on every movie but if you're looking to tick the same boxes youll land in the same spot often enough. And that could mean finding a horror film reviewer and a comedy reviewer etc
