This looks so dumb. B grade schlock. Anyone want to bet on the budget of this train wreck? $120M.
I feel like I just watched the entire movie in three minutes. There was even a final fight where the hero is on the brink of losing and uncovers a new well of power through desperate determination. And I still feel like I wasted my time.
I've never seen a trailer go that far, even the "1 day earlier" seems superfluous for a trailer but by the end of it there is literally nothing left untold
That does look tacky. The suit having a genetic monotone computer voice, calling out all that typical computer stuff is cliche as hell.

It's the 2nd best live action comic book movie this year after Guardians of the Galaxy 3, but granted that's a low bar compared to Shazam 2 and Quantumania.
A monumental flop that craters the entire "superhero" genre. As if there wasn't enough fatigue as it is. Nail meet coffin.
I wish, but unless I am a PR victim, I read this thing is getting good early response from test-viewings.
I just got out and really enjoyed it.
