I saw it for the first time before Dunkirk last night and I have to say it didn't wow me. Looked like another suicide squad. Mostly CGI, cringeworthy forced jokes, and what's with the slow motion fighting?

I might be in the minority but that didn't look good at all

My earlier discussion:

Aquaman surfing down on what I'm assuming was a paredemon and hopping out of the crushed building was just appalling

Yeah it really was.

I don't know how to explain it.

The Marvel movies feel like you're watching the Hero Universe through a fourth wall. It always just feels right. It feels like you're peaking into a universe.

The DC universe feels like I'm watching the movie that was made based of the events. I'm always very aware that I'm watching a movie.

I think it all comes down to directing.

The MCU let's stories and fights and drama and characters all flesh out on front of you.

The DCEU is more of a director jamming the story into your face and always reminding you that it's a movie. That aquaman scene is a good example of that. That scene was the director screaming into your face "HEY ISN'T THIS COOL!".

Instead of just having him fight. There's 20 seconds of slow motion and then a needless destruction of the background and then he runs up to the camera for a closeup. I expected him to look right at the camera and break the fourth wall with a snide comment like "how'd you like that, audience? Am I kicking arse or what?"

Does anyone else get what in saying?

I'm not trying to knock it. I'm trying to figure out why I never seem excited about it.

DC has slow motion and CGI almost constantly throughout the 3 hours. By the time the halfway point gets there its lost all its luster and by the time the end gets there its just cluttered and annoying.
