Teen Titans Go!: 365! (2022)
Very funny
And Zack Snyder is in this, what else do you need ???
Every reference is on point, but it can still be enjoyed without knowing anything about the Snyder cut.
Lots of little Easter eggs hidden in the episode.
Patrick Wilson Cameo was a really nice surprise and one of the funniest scene of the episode. And finally we get to the man the myth the legend, Zack Himself.
Very cool to finally see an official WB DC product celebrating this guy instead of pretending the Snyder cut never happened. The Dream sequence was a really cool moment for every fan of the show and the final twist about the real Snyder cut and both funny and stupid, exactly like Teen Titans Go ! Is supposed to be.
Army of the Dead (2021)
Fun World Building
The movie is an absolute win for the Zombie genre, while not in anyway a revolutionary movie it does offer for some fresh and original zombie entertainment. The movie takes itself seriously enough to not fall into cynical mindless pop corn movie but doesn't forget to be fun.
Don't come to this movie expecting anything more than a clever twist on a B movie genre, it is still a B movie streaming blockbuster.
Zack Snyder visual direction is still on top of his game and this time he acts as director of photography and has made a unusual choice, he is used to shoot using films but the budget of Netflix only allowed for digital cameras. In order for his movie not to look to clean and precise like digital would do he puts a very shot focus distance so most of the background is blurry and the characters get in and out of focus often. This give the movie a kind of war documentary feels to it that is in line with the very anti war message of the plot, a message strengthens by the clever choice (but a bit on the nose) of Zombie by the cranberries at the end of the film.
The one cherry on top of the cake is that even with a satisfying self contained story the movie plants the seeds for a mysterious and crazy world to be explored in the sequels and prequels to come, the fact that this craziness is not fully explored in this first movie would actually be cause for me to only give 9 stars to the movie but there is currently a petty attempt to bomb review this movie so I will put this complain aside to balance out the current reviews. The movie is telling the story it wants to tell and is doing it well.
Very intrigued to see where this franchise is going to go with the robots and aliens, hope it really embrace the craziness of B movies with bigger budget.
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
If you didn't like Batman V Superman you should still give this one a try, the tone is way more optimistic and fun that it's predecessor.
This movie is an absolute win, the pacing is flawless for a four hour movie, the characters are very likeable and the action is spectacular.
If like me you spend too much time watching the theatrical version and pointing out the plot holes you will be happy to notice that all of them are gone from the movie.
As a small nitpick because I still have to be objective, while the amount of work on the CGI is very impressive there are a couple of shots were it is imperfect, understanble considering the condition it was finished.
Also the epilogue of the movie spends an awful lot of time setting up and teasing sequels and spin-off that may never happened, the Aquaman movie that was released can't work in this continuity, the Ben Affleck Batman movie was scrapped and changed for the Matt Reeves one and all the planting for the sequels that I will not spoil will never get paid off unless the Snyderverse is restored.
This can leave a very bittersweet feeling at the end. Finally the movie also took another meaning outside of the simple super hero entertainment that it was intended to be originally , it is not only a victory for a fandom, for artistic integrity and for a director that deserves it. It is above all the movie that United people for a noble cause by supporting the AFSP. This is a movie that saved lives before it was even released and will undoubtedly save more in the future.
For Autumn.
