Justice League

[Greg]

And then you come across a review like this and you doubt your reality. Did we see the same film?

In “Justice League,” Zack Snyder sits astride the pop moviemaking machine. He’s not just telling a story that’s greater than the sum of its parts. He’s speaking through that story, crafting a parable of camaraderie and faith. It should be said that my reaction to the film — loving every minute of it, to the point that I’m itching to see it again — isn’t universal. Some critics thumbed their noses; not every fan is onboard. Yet from what I’ve seen, the reaction to Snyder’s “Justice League” has gone beyond the “Well, it’s much better than the 2017 version” feeling that even the naysayers acknowledged. There’s a collective excitement about the movie. And for those of us who have fallen for it, part of the excitement is seeing a comic-book film that’s unabashedly conventional (it doesn’t have a character like, say, Heath Ledger’s Joker) yet one that serves up those conventions with such bravura that in some ineffable way, it feels like a personal movie. It’s not an art film, for God’s sake, but it’s a studio blockbuster made by someone who imprints his personality on every scene and means every scene.

I'll give a shout out to Constantine. I always watch a few minutes when I come across it.

Don't forget the epic DCAMU. Like any of you are nerd enough to open that pandora's box http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...p?tid=5618

Adding to the Constantine shout-out: Best portrayal of Satan in film (Peter Stormare) otherwise, not a good movie.

Y'all know we have a Constantine thread, right? http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...p?tid=3096

Maybe we need a Batman 66 thread?

Or a best Joker thread. I will always think of Cesar Romero’s Joker first. How about Bill Nye the Science Guy?
