wanted to create, which is good but with a
pretty forgettable premise (writing this now,
I still don’t really remember specifics other
than Henry Cavill’s Dorito-shaped phy-
sique). From what I do remember, Cavill
actually makes a pretty decent Superman;
he just isn’t utilized enough or given good
enough material to work with, which is a
shame.
6) “Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice
— Ultimate Cut” (2016) — The only reason
this tips slightly higher than “Man of Steel”
is because of the premise the extended cut
lays out. It grapples with the aftermath of
the city wide destruction of Metropolis from
the end of the previous film and gives us
Batman (Ben Affleck) and Superman (Cav-
ill) together. Otherwise, it suffers from the
same bad dialogue and poorly plotted story
that the others have.
5) “Aquaman” (2018) — If you watch it

like you’re watching a comedy, then it’s ac-
tually pretty good. James Wan did an admi-
rable job taking the stand-alone story of the
half-Atlantean Arthur Curry/Aquaman (Ja-
son Momoa) and splashing it on the screen.
It knows what movie it is, everyone in it
knows what movie they’re in and Momoa
is a treat to watch. The fight scenes are also
worth noting.
4) “Birds of Prey” (2020) — It’s way more
lighthearted and fun than any other DC
movie to date and is filled with themes of
empowerment. Margot Robbie reprises her
movie times for the week of april 8
screenings.

2) “Shazam!” (2019) — It’s really a won-
derful surprise of a movie in how it some-
how finds a good balance between being
kind of kid-y and having those darker
themes the overall DCEU is famous
for. Zachary Levi is great as the teenag-
er-turned-adult superhero with the mention
of the word “Shazam!” and it ends on such
a good note that I really can’t wait for the
sequel.
1) “Wonder Woman” (2017) — Up until
the very end, this is a near-perfect super-
hero movie. It plays to Gal Gadot’s strengths
well and teams her up with the very talented
and surprisingly funny Chris Pine when
the mythic Amazonian princess journeys to
the realms of men to stop the destruction
of the world. Setting it during World War I,
also gives it a hefty dose of gravitas while the
overall story works well within it.

role as Harley Quinn — and honestly, no
one should ever recast her, she is perfect.
But we don’t get a lot of screen time with the
other characters that make up the Bird s of
Prey team, and the movie suffers slightly be-
cause of it.
3) “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” (2021)
— Clocking in at four hours, it is a mara-
thon to get through, and a lot of it is made
up of expositional plotting, but it more than
fixes many of the issues of the original the-
atrical release of the film. See my full review
for specifics.
