It's not perfect, because its roots aren't perfect, but you can't help but go with it. Breathing new life, and all that - I look forward to seeing what's going to follow.
Chun the Unavoidable wrote:Batman vs Superman: much more po-faced than its Marvel rivals, heavy-handedly raising some -admittedly interesting- points then forgetting about them halfway through, boring dialogue, overlong, heartless, and comes complete with a Lex Luthor that thinks he's the Joker. However, it is spectacular (especially at the showdown), and does point toward better things. Refreshingly, Wonder Woman steals the whole shebang. Worth a watch, certainly.
Chun the Unavoidable wrote:Captain America Civil War: a bit more talky than I was expecting, but it was good talk that gave depth and reasoning to the characters and their actions. The fight scenes, when they came, were of course quite the spectacle. The MCU still very definitely has the edge over DCCU (is that a thing?).

Grant) - namely Kind Hearts and Coronets. Utterly charming, and fairly startlingly black for its age. The quality and impeccability of the acting across the cast -though Alec Guinness made up most of said cast- never let up throughout. I will be watching more.
