It fucking rocked. So unbelievably corny and bloated and over-the-top, but in the best possible way.
The way James Wan does the action is incredible. The hand-to-hand combat scenes obviously mix real choreography with CGI connectors to make fluid, amazing looking action. It has a rich, smooth feel to it while also retaining a feeling of power and impact with every swing. Very Snyder-esque, which makes sense.
I think the CGI is overused, but it usually looks pretty great. I don’t know why, but I accepted the green screen overload here. It must have something to do with the color grading or the framing of the shots themselves, because it looks so much better than most superhero CGI.
It’s not perfect, but I’m surprised how good it was. 8/10 for me. Any word on when he’ll show up again? I haven’t heard much on the DC slate.

Glad you liked it. I wish James Wan would direct a Justice League movie now.

I should really watch it again. I loved it at the theatre but not sure how to feel after. It’s still really good but I prefer WW and Shazam.

Apparently Peter Jackson was approached twice to direct it. I'm kind of glad he didn't. That last Hobbit movie was a bloated slog.

James Wan did more than great, so it’s probably for the best Jackson didn’t get a crack at it, but I’d love to know what he’d have in mind.
