James Gray

3.5 stars. I was lmao at this movie! The sheer ridiculousness of the guys unquenchable spite was entertaining, hilarious even. It was captivating enough to fill an hour and a half. Obviously you should not take this movie very seriously. Anyone seeking award winning storytelling should turn away. Those seeking an over the top road rage spectacle? This is money. Russell Crowe does play this role unnaturally well. It makes one wonder what would happen if he and Alec Baldwin got into a fender bender and fought to the death?

I want this era of WB live action to die, because of this movie. In this era of cult personalities with legions of die hard followers behind them, it is the trump administration of DC movies. No seriously, there is no plot here; no substance, just empty poster shots and preview hype that led to, well 4 hours of mindlessness. The acting is wretched, which matches the impotent and predictable tale it attempts to cohesively tell (it didn’t). It’s insulting to the intellectual property that is the justice league and the American icons that make up its roster. Didn’t you see BvS? Or whatever else came before this? Totally wrote the script on how this would play out: Zero quality, forced effects, a movie I cared more about its characters before I went in than I came out... In sum, it’s a forced overhyped knee jerk reaction to a successful franchise of their rival Disney/Marvel. Look closely at the good reviews of this movie. It’s teenagers wanting to crucify Joss whedon for trying to mop this train wreck of a film up. United in the delusion of what makes a good movie. And they move en masse. *facepalm* Green Lantern was better than this movie. WB, if you’re reading this, YOU WERE RIGHT TO END THIS AND INVEST IN A BTAS/STAS/JLTAS SERIES AGAIN. And I can’t thank you enough for it. People who read this far, please invest your 4 hours into something from the animated studios. They are outstanding, and what should be taken seriously in these strange, and backwards times. Zack, I am terribly sorry for your loss. Restore the #Whedonverse

A true sequel to the movie, Doctor Sleep is a tale of redemption, friendship, and facing fears. Though many will be turned off by a rather traumatizing scene with the baseball boy, it drives to story to a clandestine and climatic cat and mouse game that takes you right where you expected to go, in a great follow up story to an all time classic. Don’t let one scene drive you away, this movie is very endearing and a must see for fans of the original Kubrick version.
