I’ve been watching a few films lately since my last post here.
A bunch of the DC films were made available on Amazon Prime Video and Netflix a while ago, so I watched a good amount of those for the first time: I watched
Shazam! which I really liked! Very fun movie and story. The second one,
Shazam! Fury of the Gods was pretty good, but I think the first one was better. Watched
Wonder Woman and
Man of Steel which were fine. I know that the Wonder Woman movie received very positive responses upon its release in 2017 and did well in the box office, but I personally was underwhelmed.
So many similarities to
Captain America: The First Avenger
Then I watched
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and was really not very impressed. To me it seemed like so many elements were squeezed into it. I couldn’t help making comparisons of it to how well the Marvel universe had done
Civil War. After that, I watched
Justice League, which was decent. Then I watched
The Flash, the new 2023 one. I enjoyed it and really liked how the film had Micheal Keaton reprise his Batman character from the 1989
Batman movie! That was fun to see. Somewhere in there I also saw
Black Adam, which I liked and thought was really fun.
So, overall, I can’t say I have been impressed with the DC films. However, I generally enjoy watching superhero films, so I still want to continue watching the DC franchise as I am already fairly familiar with and have seen all the Marvel movies. There are still other DC films (including
Wonder Woman 1989, the Suicide Squad movies, and the 2022
The Batman) which I haven’t gotten around to watching which I hope to see soon.
I watched
Ladybug and Cat Noir: The Movie some time ago. I have never watched the show that the film is based on, but I think the film was a good standalone movie and is something that has actually made me interested in checking out the show. I thought the movie was a good story with good characters.
I watched
Inception for the first time a few months ago. I thought it was a cool concept, but very complicated.
There are still a lot more movies that I want to see. I’ll post about the next bunch I watch.
