@MibIH good read. I also am baffled by the reviewers of superhero films – this was eminently watchable.

@timrichards Thanks.

I will admit that some of the recent comic book films have been a bit dire, but this was a rare exception.

I think some critics just want to hate for the sake of seeming superior or like the cool kid who doesn't like top 40 chart music. 🙄

@MibIH I suspect there's a "hate on DC" groupthink among some movie critics too

@timrichards

It doesn't help that you have people like Scorsese ranting vociferously about how they are killing cinema.

@MibIH TBH I'm a bit over superhero movies myself. I suspect the public is in the mood for a change, hence the dropping numbers.

@timrichards They really have become a much of a muchness since the genre peaked with Avengers: Endgame.

I think a break is needed until they can come up with some new ideas.

@MibIH Something to that. Comic books themselves have a wide range of creative approaches via the different writers, artists etc. The movies based on them could be as diverse.
