I still don't get the dislike for Tenet, I genuinely find it extremely good and one of Nolan's best works, with a very high re-watch value with each one finding something new, an excellent score and a great portrayal from Pattinson.
By the way, where did you get the information that DiCaprio helped Nolan with Cobb's arc ?
@tdk_1997: keep on reading, there is a reason Fraction's run is widely considered to be the best, it keeps getting better, especially the arc "Most Wanted", let me know what you think.
Nice, might give The Authority a shot after I am done with Invincible.
Five Nightmares is excellent, I would give it a 9/10 at the least, it is a great study and exploration of Tony's character, although I understand Larroca's artwork isn't for everyone, the story is so good that it doesn't become a problem (for me at least).
Also, would you recommend the entirety of Authority now that Gunn is placing them at the forefront ?
I agree with some of your points and differ a lot in others, for example, I think Ezra did a phenomenal job in this movie (I didn't like him at all in JL), especially the emotional beats, that final scene with his mom at the end in the supermarket was honestly one of the best acted and emotional scenes in any CBM movie. Ben Affleck remains in my opinion the most badass and imposing live action Batman, it's a treat to see him in action, dude's a beast and I wish we could continue to see this version of Batman.
On the other hand, aside from the opening sequence in the hospital, directors still seem to have no idea how to portray a character with super speed, I think super speed is one of the coolest and most cinematic action powers out there, the possibilites and creativity one could put to an action scene with super speed are endless, yet every time we end up with something lackluster. The final battle against the kryptonians was very underwhelming, we spent more time watching old Barry talking with young Barry telling him what to do than we saw them in battle. I was hoping to see him kick some ass and sweep through the no name kryptonians, but even with two of them they could barely make a dent on them and were awfully overwhelmed against Faora and Nam-Ek. Flash in the comics is a powerhouse right on the level of Superman, but they make him seem like an entire tier (or even two) below him in this movie, It was understandable in JL where he was a rookie, but now with an experienced Flash and he can barely keep up with kryptonian fodder, that was disappointing.
@theamazingspidey: I didn't quite understand what you mean by Momoa being both the best and the worst part of the movie. Did you like his portrayal (I mean, as far as anyonecan "like" something in this franchise)
I think Momoa was easily one of the best things about the movie, something that isn't that hard since everything is generic af, but at least I was constantly entertained by the flamboyance of his character.
Also, Deckard Shaw remains the best villain of this franchise, he was actually a good character if there's any in this franchise.
Shame to hear that some of the side characters I'm interested to see such as Han and Deckard are sidelined. Might still see it though, could use a little brainless entertainment once in a while.
Deckard has literally one scene in the movie, he's on screen for an action scene a a follow up dialogue, that's it.
