movie backdrop

8 months ago

Not great but still highly entertaining that is a good time waster though it does suffer from many of these visual effects-heavy movies (like the Transformers franchise) where the stakes don't feel all that threatening. It also felt odd when they (the studio most likely) tried to edit out Amber Heard as much as possible, I get why but it felt weird and glaring.

Jason Momoa as usual seemed to be having a great time and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II made once again as a serviceable enough villain, though nothing terribly noteworthy in terms of performance from an otherwise good actor from what I've seen.

James Wan tries his best to give his horror touch and does some fun direction with one-take-like shots and does poke fun at one of the first film's criticisms of the surprise explosion during quiet scenes.

Given this is the end of the DCEU, it ties it up well enough. 3.5/5
