Ok, put down those rotten fruit baskets. Just hear me out. Out of boredom over the Netflix Japan offerings, I went back and started rewatching a couple of movies. I started out with the old Green Lantern movie (yes, I was that bored).
Funny thing is, I didn't think it was that bad. Now, out of the gate, I've never been a DC fan so my exposure to Green Lantern was largely from TV - Justice League and a few other odds and sods. But, I thought the movie was nowhere near as bad as people say. It was a fun couple of hours. High art? Oh, hell no. But, it was fun, made me giggle, had some pretty cool scenes and was a pretty decent superhero origin movie. I'm not sure what all the angst is about.
Anyway, later on, I watched the extended Batman Vs Superman. Now, again, I didn't see the theatrical version, only the longer one. And, I thought it was pretty good. Yeah, a bit more dark than it needed to be and I was pretty surprised to see Batman whacking bad guys, but, hey, it's not like it's the first time. Again, a fun time was had. Maybe I just have really low standards. That's entirely possible.
Lastly, I just watched Suicide Squad this week. And, again, I don't see what the problem is. Fun movie. Some seriously funny lines and pretty decent action flick. What's the problem?
Am I alone here? I really don't think these movies are half as bad as people have dogpiled onto them.
