This show is so astonishingly mediocre, yet my son and I can’t stop watching (and making fun of it)

couldn't find a DCU thread but I bothered to watch the Flash movie last night. First off, I was a fan of the TV show for a few seasons until it got so repetitive I got bored with it. I was also fully aware of all the strikes against this movie: took forever to come out, Miller's psychotic behavior over the past two years, criticisms about CGI-ing in Reeve and Reeves as Superman, the fact that it was a massive bomb at the box office.
So I was surprised to like it. It's really funny and fairly light-hearted. This was something I liked about the first Shazam movie too and it's more along those lines but with a bigger budget. The CGI is fucking dire but I didn't really care. It's cool to see Keaton back even if they kill him off twice unceremoniously. I thought it was hilarious they did a CGI Nick Cage Superman with long hair. Miller is great. Excellent surprise ending. Best end credits scene of any superhero movie in recent memory. I vote this the second best DCU movie after the first Wonder Woman.

Haven't seen the movie, I'll probably watch it at some point when I can stream it for free, but this was my experience as well. We really liked the first two or three seasons and it was nice to have a show to watch with our son, but even he wanted to give up about season 4 or 5 since the arc of every season was the exact same.

yeah miller has been terrorizing hawaii, vermont, and martha's vineyard for some time and seems to have avoided any actual consequences for any of this. I suspect Miller is on loads of cocaine at all times.

He's sort of like--what if Manson had actually been a successful musician?
