Barbie is big "No, thanks" for me. I hope you enjoy it and have a great experience. Just not my cup of tea. I won 2 free tickets at work and I can use to see any movie. I'm considering watching Mission Impossible. I watched Sound of Freedom last week and that movie was insanely great. Great weekend coming.

So, Sound of Freedom might end up beating the domestic grosses of Scream VI, Indy 5, Flash, John Wick 4and perhaps even Mission Impossible 7?

I'm really impressed with Sound of Freedom's numbers. It's totally beating The Flash domestically and perhaps Indy 5 domestically. Movie is already a sucess and it could literally stop making any money. I loved it.

Holy damn at Sound of Freedom's numbers. Is it possible that it beats Mission Impossible domestically or is that mission impossible ( pun intended ) ?

Suicide Squad 2016 had impressive box office, given the lack of a China release.

I loved the movie! One of the best I saw this year. Very tough subject and very serious questions are developed. Yeah, there are people and people who watch movies. Child Trafficking is NOT a "conspiracy from QAnon groups". I really hope some people stop making false claims like that. Child trafficking is unfortunately VERY real and it happens every single day all over the world. Sure, you have every right to dismiss the movie and you have every right to not like who stars in the movie, BUT the subject is very real, no matter if you agree or not with who made the flick. Crazy people might go to theaters to see any movie. We don'tknow personally every person who goes to see a movie in theaters. I know I don't go and ask if people are they vote right or left. It's a very weird perspective. It doesn't make sense saying things like " I don’t exactly feel comfortable sitting in a theater with a bunch of them". This is my first and only post on this topic. I loved the movie. For those who hated it or don't want to see it, I wish you get the best experience with the stuff you really enjoy.

I really enjoyed it! It's not the "I need to watch it ASAP!" flick, but you won't feel you lost your money if you give it a chance. The acting was fine, action scenes were cool overall, Keaton was badass. It's obvious that Affleck basically wanted to get rid ofhis Batman as soon as possible. It's considerably better than almost most of the DCEU flicks, imo.

According to the director, the cut will be 15 minutes longer and it'll introduce a new character and some action beats.

I'm more excited to see this than I was for the superhero movie released last weekend.

DC movies live or die on their own. Wonder Woman made insane numbers and came after 3 DC rotten movies ( Man of Steel / BVS and Suicide Squad ). Aquaman made insane ammounts of money, even though it followed the Justice League movie that flopped. We also had Joker that made more than 1 billion worldwide and wasn't damaged by rotten flicks. If Flash is failing, it's because most of people weren't interested. Aquaman 2 and Blue Beetle will follow the same pattern. I dare to say Blue Beetle will be a surprise.

Yep, it's called the "getting kicked" club, lol.

DC burnout, Ezra being a criminal, stuff from Snyderverse ( Snyder damaged the brand a lot ), Gunn's reboot being revealed even before the release of The Flash. I think WB should celebrate this movie not being rotten on RT. WB should write off The Flash, consider Blue Beetle and Aquaman 2 as elseworlds movies. The real reboot starts with Superman Legacy.

The DP for GOTG 3 also worked in The Flash. Nice victory to him. Looks good for word of mouth

I think WB should be happy for Flash not being a rotten movie on RT. The rest is just the rest. Just wait for 3 months after this movie's release, fire Ezra, then put Aquaman 2 and Blue Beetle as elseworlds movies. The real reboot starts with Gunn's Superman.

It's beyond me how these guys keep getting work... These guys are the same writers of Gods of Egypt, Last Witch Hunter, Power Rangers reboot ( this one I liked ), Dracula Untold ( this one I also enjoyed ). Do they know some dirty / dark secret about executives or anything like that?

RT score is up to 74% now! World is saved and WB is probably celebrating!

So, this is what WB / DC should do, in a nutshell: 1) Celebrate. Yeah, celebrate the fact this movie isn't ROTTEN on RT. WB was in need of a "not rotten" DC movie. Enough of rotten. 2) Treat Aquaman 2 and Blue Beetle as "elseworlds" movies. 3) The new universe starts with Gunn's Superman. 4) Did I say they must fire Ezra Miller? No? So, there you have it!

It's the best superhero film after Shazam 2. XD

While I defend critics, I also expect critics to do their job as critics. If you hate a movie, you can hate it all you want. Just review the art, not the artist. I've read a review on RT and it literally says: "To offer the film any kind of praise is an uneasy task, because its star is one of the most controversial Hollywood figures in recent memory" I'm not lying. It's right there on RT.

73% isn't the worst score to get, BUT it needs to do better if you really sell it as one of the best superhero flicks. Anyway, no meltdowns to have. Nothing will ever top whatever happened during BVS release. I hope the movie has a very solid performance in box office and Gunn really makes a great Superman movie.

If Flash gets good reviews and a fresh score on RT, WB / DC will see that as a win. Sure, money and profit are part of the business, but DC really needs a fresh movie on RT. So, fresh score first, money later. While we'll be seeing the inevitable "Flash's budget is X,Y,Z" threads / topics, it's obvious that quality should matter. DC needs it . WB needs it.

Depends on what you mean by "easier". Easier in the sense of forgetting everything that came before and pretend the new Superman is the start of the DCU? That can be countered by the fact that studios are control freaks and they can put a huge pressure on James Gunn. Are you ready to hear and read future "behind the scenes" reports saying the new Superman is "chaotic" and Gunn's last chance to save the sinking ship? Sure, I'm probably being way too much dramatic and even ironic, BUT we should be realistic and expect this kind of stuff. Nobody does movies for charity. At least, not studios. DC / WB ( at least regarding comic book movies ) are known for being hit or miss. For every Dark Knight we get a Batman and Robin.

He has to. Depending on how The Flash is reviewed, Gunn's work will be harder or a little easier. Flash getting a rotten score will put a huge pressure on Gunn's Superman and a huge cloud on the movies that are being planned. I think it isn't fair, but this is what it is: business. Gunn has to show confidence and he has to bet. He didn't work in the Flash, BUT Gunn is now the responsible for the new DCU.

Well, badly reviewed or not, Flash finally is seeing the light of the day. That means zero posts / threads / topics with the same "is it gonna be shelved, is it getting cancelled" questions. We still have Ezra's future to speculate, but actors and movies are different entities. Even if the movie is good, I hope Ezra is fired ( if he isn't already ). No studio wants to work with actors that can't' be interviewed before a movie's release. Sure, this is more Ezra's fault ( he's a violent criminal ), but I think WB / DC can't make the same mistakes now that Gunn is part of the team. I just want the movie to be well reviewed by critics and audiences. This should come first. Money is good, but DC needs to build its reputation back from the ashes. Quality first and money later as consequence. Don't panic if the movie makes less money than expected, WB. This is your fault, WB. You burned way too many bridges with audiences. Don't take them for granted. In the end, if Flash is badly reviewed ( it could happen ), it's not the end of the world. Any sane and reasonable person will probably like it or not , based on their own merits. People have different metrics regarding viewing movies. All in all, Gunn will probably have a very hard work to do, in order to regain audience's trust. He has no easy job, but he accepted what it looks // looked like impossible. Gunn is a very competent filmmaker and he had a great run in the MCU. His first movie in the DCEU was very good and it shows he knows and respects comics. Now I'm going to be that guy. Yeah, "that guy" that says that enjoying a movie by your own is better than using critics as a metric. I know you'll probably tell me that I would be using critics as a metric if The Flash got 99% on RT. In a way, you're probably right because I'm biased towards DC. I may be biased, but I'm definitely not blind to DC' s mistakes. This could be badly reviewed by critics and loved by audiences just like tons of movies. However, I don't want this movie to be considered "critic proof". I want most of people from both parties liking it.

I'm not rushing to see it, but the ending really got me very excited! Next movie ( if there's one ) has to be massive.
