Wow, just wow; I don't hate this trailer. It isn't great or anything, but it is not complete garbage. Jason Momoa as Aquaman is convincing and at least looks cool. Ezra Miller as The Flash works for me from the little we can see. He's funny and quirky. While Grant Gustin over on the CW will be the definitive for me and most others, I will give Miller a chance. But that new Flash costume is garbage, absolutely hysterical, at least at first glance. However, Ray Fisher as Cyborg is barely shown.
Here's the thing. After Batman v Superman, my expectations for DC are literally nonexistent. I cannot be disappointed by anything DC delivers because being disappointed requires expectations. So, I will just take whatever DC throws at us. The trailer's song, "Icky Thump" by The White Stripes, sets a fun tone, and the humor almost kind of works. Sure, even if DC is trying to copy Marvel, a second rate Marvel knock-off is better than first rate DC any day. The humor somewhat works, although I can see some hating it. Ben Affleck proved to be the only truly great part of BvS earlier this year, and he looks quite good in Justice League as well. The lack of Superman is probably the best thing to happen to this movie. He will probably appear at some point, but if the formation of the Justice League is without Henry Cavill's Superman, this movie might just work. But Zack Sndyer is the director, and that's never a good thing if you enjoy, you know, character development, color, fun, quality performances, and practical effects. Who knows? Maybe Snyder can finally make a great DC movie. Stranger things have happened.

Miller MIGHT be a good Flash (though you're right: Gustin will probably be THE Flash to most of us). I had my doubts, but maybe, just MAYBE, it will work.
ReplyDeleteI disagree on Affleck: still not convinced he can actually act. I'm still not completely sold on the product, but am willing to give it benefit of doubt.
MIGHT, is a good way to put it. Who knows until we see it.
DeleteReally? Huh. Never had a problem with Affleck for the most part.

I give this trailer 3/10 Ugh...

Not too far off my rating. I'd give it a 5/10 for not impressing nor disappointing me.

I don't really know where I stand with DC. Honestly I had a good time watching bvs, even though I don't consider it to be really good. It was different. So if Justice League continues that, which it seems like it is, then I expect I'll enjoy it too. I guess I'm just done being mad at them for the direction they're taking with these movies. So I'm down with anything at this point!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's really how I feel about DC at this point. I had fun watching but the movie isn't good. I just don't care about them anymore, so I will just see what happens.

Aquaman looks like a total badass and I love it. And the few images we saw were fantastic.
ReplyDeleteFlash's costume on the otherhand looks awful like you said. Too many 'pieces' or something.
I agree, Aquaman looks great! He's better than expected.
DeleteAnd yeah, that sums it up about that awful Flash costume!
