Justice League

It wasn’t terrible. Well, okay… it was terrible. But somehow I didn’t hate it. Lets face facts, this is not a good movie. The script feels cobbled together, the tone is hard to pinpoint, and The Flash as the comic relief falls flat every time. I don’t think I heard anyone in the theater laugh at […]

Wonder Woman

I liked it. The biggest reason why is probably Gal Gadot, who I thought really nailed this role.

Nolan took what worked with Batman Betgins (which was pretty much everything) and added new layers, creating a solid, brilliant piece of work.  Ledger steals the show of […]
