Zack Synder's Justice League Review

 


I am man enough to admit when I am wrong. I have been extremely critical of Zack Synder movies over the past few years. I thought 300 sucked. Man of Steel was awful. Batman vs. Superman was boring and convoluted. The only Zack Synder movies I really liked was Watchmen (1st viewing) & Dawn of The Dead Remake. My expectations were extremely low, as most folks were. But, after a slow first act with storytelling, the movie really starts to pick up. The re-shoots/re-edits & and the removal of the corny ass humor make this a better viewing
experience. This is the movie they should've released in the first place, but Warner Bros. couldn't keep their hands out of the cookie jar when they hired Joss Whedon to put his spin on the film. The movie ties up loose ends, and everything falls into place. Everything makes sense, whereas in Whedon's film, nothing makes any sense. Zack Synder perfectly placed small backstories for the minor characters that help people understand their place in the film, as well as making them sympathetic. Also, without spoiling the movie, we see the redemption of Ben Affleck & Jared Leto's Batman & Joker.

However, the movie isn't without trademark Synderisms. The movie is full of slo-motion shots, excessive subpar CGI/green screen, eery gospel music, and in case you didn't know, the movie is EXTREMELY long. Like excessively long. 4 HOURS LONG. If it's one negative of the movie, it is the length. I highly advise you watch this movie intervals. Treat it like 3 or four standalone movies, because it's edited in an episodic comic book way.

Zack Synder's Justice League is an epic grandiose film. I am looking forward to any potential sequels. I give the movie a 7 out of 10 or 2.4 stars out of 3.

House Party (2023) review

Image
  When it was announced in 2018 that LeBron James and his production company were rebooting beloved classic “House Party”, expectations were already at an all time low. I mean how do you remake an iconic film like the original “House Party”? A film so revered that In 2022, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". With that said, let’s begin with the review. The review House Party(2023) is the sixth movie in the House Party franchise, and when I say it’s the worst movie in the series, I mean it. Yes worst than the one with Immature(House Party 4: Down to the Last Minute) Yes worst than the direct to video sequel from a decade ago(House Party: Tonight’s The Night). House Party (2023) is truly a nonsensical movie. It lacks the coming of age-feel good nature  of the first movie. It lacks the motivational & educational purpose of the se...

FAST X REVIEW

  Fast X review:  To say this is a stupid fucking movie is an understatement. There’s no integrity or art making involved. These movies used to mean something. Now they’re just mindless action movies. They make Michael Bay’s movies look like Casablanca. At this point everyone knows these movies are just cash grabs. They’re extremely profitable, and that’s why Universal Pictures keeps green lighting them no matter how bad they are. The last three movies have grossed: Furious 7: 1.5 billion Fate of the Furious: 1.2 billion  F9: 726 million  Fast franchise total: 6.9 billion  When you’re making this type of money quality doesn’t matter. The review:  Like I said in the opening of this review, this is a stupid fucking movie. Not only is it a stupid fucking movie. It’s an inconsistent movie. First off, the main villain of the story is Dante Reyes. Dante is the son of Fast 5’s villain Hernan Reyes who was robbed of 100 million dollars by Dom and his c...

The Crow(2024) Review

Image
  There's a reason why this movie has been in developmental hell for close to 20 years. This is the movie franchise no one wanted to be in or direct. Since 2009, a Crow reboot has had multiple people drop in and out. Here's a comprehensive list: Most people didn't want to compete with the original film because it's considered a cult classic due to the untimely on set death of star Brandon Lee, and its gritty gothic take of the James O'Barr graphic novel. People involved from the original movie such as director Alex Proyas, stars Ernie Hudson & Rochelle Davis were vehemently against this movie. Hell even Shannon Lee voiced her opinion over this reboot! But some brave soul decided to go against the grain and make this movie, so here we are. The Review: My expectations for this movie were extremely low. I mean really low. When I saw the trailer months ago, I thought to myself "Yea this is going to fucking suck". But I like to torture myself at times for t...
