abduleez1:the flash will flop they should not think it will hit a bit like Rob Pattinson batman lol. Did it hit maybe yes. I don't like his appearance just like Ben affleck they don't look like superheroes. He reminds me of young Ben affleck in daredevil movie. Nonsense film.ezra Miller for me is not the right cast. Looks more antagonist 2 Likes 1 Share |

oyaskii: Lol, that ship has sailed. I still believe that even if Snyder was still with the universe till now, the DCEU will still suffer similar fate like now. Part of the major issue of the DCEU started from him and his sidekick David Ayer. The gross for subsequent movies will keep dropping lower as the projects rolled by, cos audience interest in the DCEU started waning since his disastrous BVS — a movie that made $420mn in just opening weekend but failed to hit $1bn or even crack $900mn despite Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman debut Cinematic appearance together. Abeg, make I rest!! That film still dey vex me. Cos na that film and the Suicide Squad hogwash in 2016 start all this wahala. They made money but they caused serious damage to the brand and started the beginning of the end for the DCEU. This thing didn't start in one year. It had a genesis. If people don't know it's what started WBs desperation and meddling that led to the disastrous Josstice League and other dumb moves with subsequent movies. 😟 These are what will count against Snyder ever coming back to anything WB not to talk of DC. E be like say na no know the disdain wey some executives get for am for that WB especially when you factor in the Snydercult when they were moving mad few years ago. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

oyaskii: Omo, the present day cinema audience is very difficult to please and even predict. What you will easily term a cash cow fit turn massive financial blackhole in the twinkle of an eye. Too many variables now can contribute to how successful a movie is or create complex relationships like The Little Mermaid that's loved and performs very strong with great legs in N. America but doing soft internationally. Or The Fast and Furious franchise with poor numbers or interest in NA but great success elsewhere. Reasons like this is why people will keep seeing sequels, prequels and IP franchising year in year out. People will shout no original films but don't go out to support it. They'll still be nitpicky with blockbusters. This way studios have no options than to keep giving you an trying to give what is familiar or "safe" with the general audience. Although, part of this change can be attributed to the present day economy and COVID pandemic. The world is still recovering from the economic downturn and has to deal with rising inflation. So, movies ain't on the priority list of many presently. Even dedicated movie fans will be forced to be selective while choosing theatre viewing. That COVID sef transitioned people with having patience to wait for films till they debut in VOD. Despite this present day issue for the industry, traditional studios aren't going to be baited to take streaming seriously going forward again. It's a bubble that bursted after the massive growth induced by COVID proved to be unsustainable. The novel idea of having ALL YOUR CONTENT on your personal streaming service is almost dead. Everyone are back to traditional licensing albeit withholding their most priced IP for their own streamer. Be that as it may, streaming can't dream of making the money theatrical business has presently, despite the risks. It's barely profitable sef. If you look at things, David Zaslav now looks like a visionary when looking at the present day streaming business. His decisions that we ALL castigated is being replicated by other corporations. Even Disney sef ain't exempted from the lay offs and cancellations of streaming projects. 1 Like 1 Share |

Baddestguyp:I think it's too early to judge The Flash now, the movie was released few days back and it isn't a month yet, so you guys should take a chill pill. I wonder what the noise is all about? if most of you don't find the movie watchable, let others watch it. thank you. 1 Like |

That Flash movie wasn't bad, people just find it easier to shit on Superhero movies nowadays. The CGI was good, the story was good and airtight with the time travel shenanigans. The Cameos didn't take focus away from the main character, it was well directed and paced too. You can't watch this movie and accurately pinpoint anything wrong with it. @baddestguyp I saw Critical Drinkers review and it was rubbish... you'll know that guy has an agenda against the movie or totally zero comic book knowledge when he says that Batman should never be fighting against aliens that came for world domination cos he is only suited for low level street gangs. Stop basing most of your movie assesment on his opinions or anybody's own for that matter. If this movie was released in 2016 it would have mad 1bn dollars + and people would applaud it as a masterpiece. 7 Likes 4 Shares |

pu7pl3:Some guy miles away said that Batman shouldn't be fighting alien? Wow! I can't believe it, like you said, dude have zero comic book credibility. The same Batman who even fought against The Predator in one of the comic book crossover, someone is saying he shouldn't be fighting against aliens. All this shitty reviews and nonsense opinions is why I don't even pay attention to these movie critics. I won't be surprise some of them get paid by some of these movie company to shit on movies or hype it. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Baddestguyp(m): 8:34am On Jun 19, 2023 |
pu7pl3:first, the CGI wasn't good...unless it's cope There is a reason the whole CGI controversy started in the first place. The movie cost almost 300m Secondly, Critical Drinker said in his opinion Batman is better suited for night stealth battles rather than out in the open alien combat. I don't think he said it's never happened before. The reality is Batman is a street level Superhero, but the formation of the Justice league and teamups in the comics led him to fight way bigger enemies. That's why the Batman is well known for PLOT-ARMOR termed PREP-TIME. Simply because his Skillset does not match these superhuman aliens...e.g superman Thirdly, I've said many times that my reviews are not based on anyone's opinion. I clearly said that I've said a million times before that I hate the whole multiverse thing and that Critical Drinker has same opinion from his video yesterday. For months now, you've heard me talk about my hate for multiverse...has nothing to do with Drinker Fourthly, I've stated here many times that I only agree with about 70-80% of Drinker's reviews...not all of them I watch him and reference him cos I like his style and not cos I see him as an authority |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Baddestguyp(m): 8:38am On Jun 19, 2023 |
ShaqFu:I believe it was more of his opinion that Batman was better suited for street level stealth combat...not broad daylight large scale combat with aliens I don't think he meant that it's never happened in the comics... At least from what I understood in his video |

ShaqFu: Omo it's tiring to watch tbh and the worst part is that you can't escape it, anywhere you click on YouTube or twitter you must see one wise guy reviewing a movie. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by pu7pl3(m): 9:21am On Jun 19, 2023 |
Baddestguyp: I have seen the movie and I'm telling you that there was nothing wrong with the CGI, all these CGI experts online are capping hard. Secondly, Critical Drinker said in his opinion Batman is better suited for night stealth battles rather than out in the open alien combat. I don't think he said it's never happened before.His skillets are not limited to only street level, he has suits for different occasions, this is someone that fought toe to toe with Darksied, it's just like saying Ironman is only suited for street level terrorists. It's false and should never be mentioned.
I admit some writing for the recent Multiverse trope has been bad but this one wasn't, a rule was set and followed and it's even simpler to understand unlike some other ones. The concept of multiverse can never be removed from CBM's man, it's part and parcel of it, it enhances the story, gives flexibility and makes things more interesting. I agree it shouldn't be overused tho but the Flash isn't guilty of that. You and the drinker should be calming down on that one. He also said Zod needed more character development and that Cara with her limited screen time didn't get any and all those are rubbish talks of someone that just wants to drop content. Funny thing is many people base their choice on his opinions and now he has called it trash they won't bother to go see it for themselves. A pity. 6 Likes 4 Shares |

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Baddestguyp(m): 9:31am On Jun 19, 2023 |
pu7pl3:For Batman, I disagree with you. There is no suit of armor that puts Batman on the same scale as Characters on Superman's level. No one is denying the existence of these feats in comics...but even in the comics they are well-known as PLOT ARMOR FEATS hence the mockery of the so-called Batman Prep time A single punch from superman level aliens will destroy every suit of armor Batman has... These characters have such universal scale powers but when they meet Batman they are nerfed so hard just to put Batman on an equal fighting scale... Both in speed and in power, Batman lags far behind no matter what suit he brings... There is no viable explanation why Batman should be useful in combat against enemies who can keep up with Flash and Superman's speed There is nothing in Batman's skillset that realistically puts him at these level of combat. Batman's skillset is far better suited for stealth combat, not fighting superpowered aliens in broad daylight... Batman is more of a vigilante...that's why most people prefer the Batman stories that focus more on that rather than those where he's somehow shoehorned into large scale universal level combat |

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Baddestguyp(m): 9:42am On Jun 19, 2023 |
pu7pl3:tell me if there's any suit of armor Batman has that can keep up with the speed of Flash Or any suit of armor that can resist a hit from a universal level attack? |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by pu7pl3(m): 9:49am On Jun 19, 2023 |
Baddestguyp: You didn't answer my question and this your counter question further proves that you shouldn't even be arguing about things you don't really have in-depth knowledge of just like the drinker guy. Batman's Hellbat suit and Final suit can do all of those things you asked and more. If you go to Marvel Dr Doom wears a suit that helps him beat gods and powerful beings like Thanos single handedly. No be today wey normal men done dey create and wear suits to be able to compete with their superpowered counterparts. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

pu7pl3:except Batman has continuously been shown fighting villains way above his strength even without the Hellbat suit... What would you call that then? Besides the Crux of the argument is what makes Batman as a character...and that is his character being one of a street level vigilante... until later writers forced him into battles way above his tier Everything about the way Batman as a character was created...and the way he fights is that of stealth combat... Batman stands out as a street level vigilante, who uses his cleverness, stealth, cover of darkness and his tech to clean the streets of Gotham... Just because one or two authors decided to give Batman a super powered suit doesn't change the core of what is Character is meant to be and what fits his character... Batman was never intended to be fighting superpowered aliens...that is a fact that practically everyone can agree with And that is what Drinker said and I agree with His core skillset and fighting style is better suited for stealth combat. His character is better suited for same... Just because some writer decided to put him in a different scenario and give him an overpowered suit doesn't change that |

Baddestguyp: That is still wrong...Batman has evolved since his first appearance and so has every character in comics. And it's not just one or 2 writers... This is the person that funds the JL, all their tech, satellites and even their outer space HQ are from him so why would a suit of armour be something he wouldn't add to his repertoire also considering the fact that he like to plan for every circumstance. You simply cannot limit him to street level cos he has consistently shown that he is way above it when need be. This one is not a matter of opinion but facts. You are wrong simple and short. 4 Likes 3 Shares |
