I still thin we need a special sub4m for airline movies. It’s such a different experience.

This was odd. A retelling of Cortez raiding Moctezuma’s kingdom using Batman motifs. The animation was mediocre as DC animation tends to be. There are gods, Aztec gods, like a bat god that inspires Aztec Batman. Car woman is jaguar woman. Two-face, Poison Ivy & of course Joker all manifest in different ways and most of the fun is seeing how that happens. I like how this telling sided with the Aztecs and reduced Cortez to a simple greedy villain. Somewhat of a one off but there is a small opening for a sequel.

Not D00M recommended.]]> (07-29-2025, 09:27 PM)Drunk Monk Wrote: Aztec Batman: Clash of Empires

But there will be haters. So many haters. There's a lot to hate.

In my defense, as you all know, I luv Bollywood. So this take on the musical was dark, gritty and twisted and that completely worked for me.

Phoenix & Gaga deliver brilliant performances. 

Our screener was in Dolby, and that was the best. It's got great acoustics, from the intimate song work to the chest punching gunshots to, well, a spoiler that I won't reveal.

Only D00M recommended if you liked the first one. But then, none of you did - http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...p?tid=5202]]>

What a mess of a movie. Plot lines come and go. People get to die and then not be dead. There is a dome over the city and then there isn't a dome over the city then they remember they had a dome over the city and bring it back. Plot holes big enough to drive a dragon through. 

My biggest gripe is that the character of Billy Batson is nothing like the character of Shazam. I find it quite annoying. Freddy Freeman must have negotiated for a bigger part in the movie because his love interest takes up a lot of screen time.

There were a few funny bits that gave me a chuckle, but not enough. Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu were sorely underused and made to speak some execrable dialogue. And the end had a total Deus Ex Machina. Ugh.

Come on, DC, get your act together. The two credits sequences were similarly bad.]]>

I giggled several times. It's got a style and a rhythm, decent pacing, and a lot of womance, especially by the end.

 Margot delivers.  She vamps it up to the max but still manages to display her serious acting chops.  The color schemes are eye-popping, reminiscent of those campy West Batmans, just missing the biff! boff! bam! starbursts (I truly think that might have added to this). The soundtrack is female-strong - Heart, Jett, Benatar, plus the new rising divas of Sofi Tukker and K.Flay.  It's a creation story, but Harley is established and the rest coattail on her madness (which is NOT Stockholm syndrome - that's when kidnapped fall for their kidnappers like Theon Greyjoy succumbing to Ramsay Snow in GoT - what Harley suffers from is Folie Deux which is more like Sancho Panza believing Don Quixote's schizo vision).  It's R because of the F bombs, which are plentiful, but the ultravi isn't too graphic.  The fight choreo is satisfactory and fun in that Harley making mayhem way - I was particularly taken by the bat battle in the evidence room which goes off the rails in more ways than one.  The finale fight in the funhouse is ... fantabulous. No sword fights but Harley is another hammer girl. DOOM recommended.

It's an origin story. They spend too much time learning about the powers. But it's okay. There were a couple of good twists. A couple of very emotional moments. Most of the funniest bits were in the trailers but there was enough that was fresh that made it alright.

I'd wait to see this on TV or streaming. We were in the theater because there's not a lot to do in Madera.]]>

This is probably really good in 3D. Might even be worth IMAX.

Nicole Kidman, Sword fights, octopus percussion, majestic sea flap flaps. Excalibur meets little mermaid and Godzilla with a nod to Lovecraft. I wuz entertained.

SPOILER ALERT
