Christopher McQuarrie is now one the greatest specialist action directors- others include Stahleski,Cameron, McTiernan, Tony Scott, Michael Bay(but hes bad)
The Specialist action director is a rare breed
also the runtime makes it better dont forget, nearly 3 hours means it isnt a cheap product. Value for money and good plot and character development is essential to a movie. Thats why i prefer longer films.
i dislike shorter films in general were its only 90 mins, it cheapens it, no development possible. OK for animated /kids films at shorter lengths only.
Cruise the greatest action star in the history of cinema. Ever since Top gun (85), we knew he was special.
Also a shout out to Atwell- she is an excellent star in her own right- apparently shes great in this.
Note- this movie is not good. Metacritic its very poor rating.
The only positive is the extended run time of near 2.5hours so you get your money's worth
This is a total box office turd. Will lose the studio over $100m dollars due to promotions and advertising costs.
The Flash reviews: First reactions hail it as “one of the best superhero films of all time”
2 hour 30 min epic!
Ezra miller- despite the bad behaviour off screen, is a very good actor.
