Saw this over the weekend with my wife, on HBOMax on our projection setup. So, not BIG screen but big screen.

I had 2 friends give me polar opposite feedback after the opening weekend, one hated it (but didn't say why) and the other found it very entertaining. I ended up in the latter camp. It was messy, at times incoherent, over the top violent - which I sometimes do not like but the tone worked for me here. It was gloriously and frequently hilariously entertaining. There were several fall out of my seat laughing lines and moments. I want to look up easter eggs and watch it again at some point - and a highlight reel would be awesome.

I enjoyed it. It's a comic book movie. It's supposed to be campy AF.

I love any time they let HQ go nuts and rescue herself. Margot Robbie is pitch perfect in that role, and it makes me sad to contemplate a day when she won't be playing that character.

That said, did I expect a 5 story cyclops starfish to be the big bad?

I did not.

I watched it at the end of last week on HBO max. I don't love the over the top gore/violence. So that wore on me. The movie was fun. There were some hilarious parts that I enjoyed. It wasn't a great movie, but it was fun.
