Mandy Moore suits the 1940s aesthetic like a glove. She is gorgeous.
No tits.
Nah, I'd take Kate Beckinsale in Pearl Harbour instead
You could also apply the statement about no tits.

Midway
Fucking loved this. Splosions n war n shit, but pretty tastefully done and showing the Japanese side as well.

No tits.
You make one statement then contradict it in the next sentence. I’m confused

Zack Snyder’s Justice League movie review (2021) | Roger Ebert
This four-hour cut is the kind of brazen auteurist vision that Martin Scorsese was calling for when he complained (rightly) that most modern superhero movies don't resemble cinema as he's always understood and valued it.
Great review, covers the good and the bad.

Undoubtedly, but gorgeous and no tits together does not compute.

Well the basic story is not different, I don't think it's spoilery. But I'd watch it first to be on the safe side

@dogmeat said in Re: Movie review thread...:
@kirwan Does it work as a stand alone movie or do you have to know the back story?
I don't go out of my way to watch comic book movies plus there are so many I've lost track of the story arc.
I would watch Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman (directors cut) then watch this new Justice League.
That makes it a stand alone trilogy, and the overall story makes sense that way.
The original Wonder Woman can be watched after these, same with Aquaman, but aren't necessary. They are just origin films.

is it good? i have sort of avoided because
Pearl Harbour
There was already a fucking great Midway movie.

I'd add too that this is quite an exciting change in how films could be made. No way you would want to go to a theatre to watch a four hour film.
But as this is split into six chapters and an epilogue, you could watch this over several days.
Allows for more complex stories to be told in film, sort of how we are getting ten episode bingable series on Netflex/Disney Plus.
This is a no compromises version of a film.
That said, there is a three hour cut of this that could be made, there is a lot of indulgence going on. But I love the extra depth, and time being taking to build characters.
The first film felt like Superman didn't need anybody else, this version had all the Justice League working together as a team. Wheddon butchered that first version.

True.
I have a memory of trying to watch Pearl Harbour and just thinking that I saw Ben Affleck already in Armageddon so culd stkip it.

Agreed - in a similar vein, other things I've seen on Prime Video are actually miniseries built from putting 2 films together in that fashion. It makes for a departure from having to cram everything into 2 hours, or need 3 piss breaks for a true epic.
And sometimes you see a series of 10-13 episodes that is padding out.

@mariner4life And yes: I thought it was good. A little jarring to see a British actor in the lead trying to pull off a New York accent, but I think he does a good job.

I meant no tits shown on camera.
She's still gorgeous.

Oh right, cheers for clearing that up.
Yeah I remember her being easy on the eye

Could not agree more. Recorded it yesterday, watched it today over many hours and just as you said Kirwan, because it's in Chapters, it made it easier to watch in more than one sitting.
On the movie itself, wow, I thought it was brilliant. So much better than the Joss floss. Even Superman's lip looked much more natural.
There was depth in story, depth in character and a plot that made sense.
@Kirwan, do you know if Snyder has an involvement in the other DC Universe movies due out over the next few years?
