This looks so dumb. B grade schlock. Anyone want to bet on the budget of this train wreck? $120M.
I feel like I just watched the entire movie in three minutes. There was even a final fight where the hero is on the brink of losing and uncovers a new well of power through desperate determination. And I still feel like I wasted my time.
I’ve never seen a trailer go that far, even the “1 day earlier” seems superfluous for a trailer but by the end of it there is literally nothing left untold

That does look tacky. The suit having a genetic monotone computer voice, calling out all that typical computer stuff is cliche as hell.
A monumental flop that craters the entire “superhero” genre. As if there wasn’t enough fatigue as it is. Nail meet coffin.
I wish, but unless I am a PR victim, I read this thing is getting good early response from test-viewings.
I just got out and really enjoyed it.
It’s the 2nd best live action comic book movie this year after Guardians of the Galaxy 3, but granted that’s a low bar compared to Shazam 2 and Quantumania.
