Critiquing superhero movies seems a little redundant, to be honest. It's kinda like reviewing a new McDonald's burger and expecting actual food. I'd like to hear your thoughts on some more substantial films out at the moment, such as Beau is Afraid, or Influencer, or even the new series of Back Mirror
Whilst I agree with you, the fact is that those films get very few views. We are both very busy and have to put our efforts where they have the biggest impact. You can find plenty of videos on the channel that contain discussions on non mainstream films. Have a butchers 👀 DC
@@ValVerdeBroadcasting Ah, I see the dilemma. I mean no disrespect by the way - I've been a subscriber for years, and will happily sit through a review by you guys for a movie I have absolutely no interest in seeing. You both have a deep understanding of the craft, so it can sometimes seem a little below you both to be indulging the audience, if you catch my drift. In any case, I thoroughly enjoy your content! All the best!
@@ValVerdeBroadcasting Yeah, sadly that's true. Even the 'back from the cinema' channels [like Jeremy Jahns] rarely look at non mainstream films these days for that reason and I appreciate that you've got other priorities outside the channel.
So, all the UA-camrs I respect, and I like to hear their opinions/takes on movies (and you guys are def up there) have pretty much said, this is a mess, and not very good. I haven’t been interested in anything from Marvel or DC for a LONG while, BUT I really enjoyed this for what it is. I laughed a few times (some of the jokes def did not land though) Yes there were loads about this that is PISH (effects at times, Ezra’s younger self, some pretty poor writing). Loved Supergirl, the Batman stuff was great, some of the set pieces were pretty exciting. Maybe it was because my expectation were ROCK bottom, that I came out pleasantly surprised. Solid 6.5-7/10, and yes I probably need to have a word with myself for that.
Part of Keaton Batman return [along with cameos] was going to be a Batman Beyond movie which would have made sense given his age [apparently they also wanted Michelle Pfeiffer to return as Catwoman] but these plans have long since been scrapped. Keaton instead will follow this with the long delayed Beetlejuice 2 planned to be out next year.
Like most releases during this summer, this was filmed under Covid which bloated the budget [the upcoming Mission Impossible for example went over budget by $100 million due to it] and the CGI studios overworked and understaffed which might explain the dodgy effects here. Keaton was a cast member of the cancelled 'Batgirl' film but that was only going to be a cameo.
Saw it today. Was messy but wasn't too bad. Just don't go into it expecting a lot. Loved Supergirl and of course Michael Keaton was the best. Like a 90s superhero cartoon.
OOOOH! I want Danny De Vito as The Dark Knight Sits up, grumbles and just barely notices the Batlight and sends Charlie Kelly as Robin to go deal with it.
Perfect timing, I just got back from the cinema. I haven’t watched this review yet, I’ll comment first so my opinion is untainted. I pretty much loved it really! I thought it was great fun. The dodgy PlayStation 2 level CGI didn’t even put me off. I don’t know much about Ezra Miller but he’s bloody entertaining. I’ve heard something about him being some kind of pervert or something so he should fit right in in Hollywood! All the nostalgia stuff was nicely handled in my opinion, so I liked all that. The icing on the cake was to see on the big screen something that we were tragically denied, which I won’t spoil, but you’ll know it when you see it. I’m glad I picked this over transformers even though I like things with big monkeys in!
I couldn't agree more with you guys. I wasn't offended by the film. There were 2 or 3 bits that I liked (which again DOES NOT make a film good) but as a whole it was shit to me and definitely Far From Home😉😜
I don't think I can add much I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either. I agree on the performances I liked some of the jokes with the musical motifs I notices some from The Matrix but that's just me.
I intially thought, that if the alternate universe version of super heroes do exist in these stories, shouldn't they all still look the same? But then i just realised, well different artists always draw the characters differently in comics anyway. So you can excuse it in that sense.
With ALL your favourite dead actors, like Lionel "Orgy Master" Atwell, Klaus "Must Kill Werner Herzog" Kinski and David "Outta Breath" Carradine! NECRO-GRAM. For all your Necro needs.
I just saw it and honestly found it a lot of fun. But maybe I'm just a sucker for time travel storylines (especially when characters go back into other "movies" and change things). Michael Keaton was great although, I surprisingly didn't find the return of his Batman to be for me as much of an overall crutch as I thought would be the case. The cameo-fest at the end is either a "loving tribute" or "cynical exploitation" depending on your point of view, and I appreciate that milage is going to vary on that person to person. As for the cgi, sometimes it was great, sometimes it was fine and then other times it was admittedly terrible. Everything inside that whole "time sphere" I can give a pass to because it's supposed to be a reality bending environment, but towards the final big battle I was noticing things like one of the Ezra Miller's suddenly having a weird cgi face for some reason, and it was really distracting. But overall I can't lie, I had a good time with it and if I'm brutally honest, I think I may even have enjoyed this more than any of the other DCEU films we've gotten up till now (it's probably a toss up between this and Wonder Woman or Shazam).
Well, I liked it quite a lot, it was much better than Doctor strange and Spiderman multiverse movies. Sgi was a bit mediocre, SGI doubles of barry where the worst.
Michael Keaton is so much better than Christian Bale it's insane
I just watched Type till you bleed last night lads, absolutely amazing, really enjoyed it ❤
Thank you Neill 🙏
The weirdest cameo was right before the credits when Orgazmo turned up and said "There wasn't a second plane. Investigate building 7."
Wasn't too fussed about seeing this, but the good reviews coming out made me doubt myself.
Glad to know my first instincts were right lol!
I'm really surprised the reviews aren't more mixed. I'm so glad you guy's covered it, I knew you'd be more in line with what I thought of it😂
Thank you for saving me the time and money.
Nice to see a review of a new release
FLASH! Nah-uuuuuh... Stinking up the cinema! [guitar riff]
38:05 “Like flaming globes, Sigmund, like flaming globes!!!”
Thanks for the review guy. I was tempted to pay for this and I'm definitely not now haha.
Yeah definitely don’t mate 👍
Thank you guys!
I've a cousin born in the early 00s called Barry. 😂
In an amazing turn of brand synergy I believe ‘the flash’ is also listed on Ezra Miller’s rap sheet 😮
Come on Verde, let’s go party.
It's funny that this film came out around the same time the TV show ended
Especially as the project has been kicking around for some time.
yes boys we back
I enjoyed it had a fun time

I liked the film but see its faults.
Great news re Star Trek and Bond content. Hopefully Richard your thought on Picard s3

0/10. No sam Jones. No Brian Blessed. No Queen soundtrack
Gordon's dead, and this movie killed him!
Flash, ah ha! Saviour of the universe!
Does Batman shout "ddddiiiiiiiivvvvvvvvveeeee!!!!" cuz if not then I'm out.
No Ted?!?
Duncan at 13:56 is just perfect 🤌😂
Richard, did you see 'Sisu' in the end? The screenings near me were only on for a week and I was abroad that week dammit!

A nice round $100M hey? Well ain’t that convenient? 😂😂👍 Appreciate your comment, but the end result is what it is.
won't watch this just yet as i'm planning to see it on Tuesday. let's get nuts.
The Flash? More like The Flush! As in, please, someone come and flush away my memory of this film lol!
I actually felt like I'd forgot alot of it after.
@Ewan Callister Transformers was ugly dirge. Spider-Verse was okay.
A little messy but pretty good. Way to go!
So 10/10 best film ever? That is high praise.
Saw it today. Was messy but wasn't too bad. Just don't go into it expecting a lot. Loved Supergirl and of course Michael Keaton was the best. Like a 90s superhero cartoon.
So, who's next in the revolving door of batman actors?
OOOOH! I want Danny De Vito as The Dark Knight Sits up, grumbles and just barely notices the Batlight and sends Charlie Kelly as Robin to go deal with it.
Me! 🦇

4 minutes into this review and I’m already regretting this comment 😂
😂😂😂 that’s hilarious. So glad you enjoyed it though! If we all agreed, life would be very boring.

The idea is that there's an infinite number of universes so theoretically every person who ever lived or could live has been Batman at some point.

Nostalgia Porn Returns
No Way Forward
We need a term for this recent trend of cameos by dead actors. I'll suggest Necro-gram.
With ALL your favourite dead actors, like Lionel "Orgy Master" Atwell, Klaus "Must Kill Werner Herzog" Kinski and David "Outta Breath" Carradine! NECRO-GRAM. For all your Necro needs.
@@stevena488 Still waiting on that threatened James Dean Vietnam film.
I really can't stand it. So disrespectful [I don't care if 'the family are okay with it', the actor can never give there direct consent].
I just saw it and honestly found it a lot of fun. But maybe I'm just a sucker for time travel storylines (especially when characters go back into other "movies" and change things).

The Flash is the new Amazing Spider-Man 2
Well, I liked it quite a lot, it was much better than Doctor strange and Spiderman multiverse movies. Sgi was a bit mediocre, SGI doubles of barry where the worst.
No one has used SGI's for CGI since the early 2000s, which might explain the poor effects... 😅
0/10 He didn't even say mass
God I love saying mass
I honestly don't think anyone one would complain if you just kept talking.
My wife might
So basically The Flash: The Clone Wars, I'll pass. Thanks for watching it so I don't have to.
Why do you dislike The Batman so much?
Here's our review if you fancy the long answer!

Promo'SM 😔
An alleged nonce runs backward and stuff. Also the effects were meant to be bad. Riiight.
Well if anyone would know dear boy, it’d be you 🙌 Seriously though, how does something that unrefined make it to theatres??
Either it really was an artistic choice...or possibly an unlocked edit and reshoots blew through the budget and timeframe needed to polish the fx...
This is going to be good 😎
