DCEU

This weekend saw the digital release of a long-rumored, heavily speculated, and reportedly expensive restoration of Justice League. Zack Snyder’s original vision became complete through HBO Max, and Brennan and I (plus a surprise guest) are…

Here at MovieBabble, we like to watch movies, obviously. However, the Coronavirus has created a sudden drop off in the number of new movies for us to watch. But we will not be stopped, and…

2000’s X-Men turns 20 years old this week, and though the original film in this turbulent franchise is often overlooked, it’s impossible to ignore its influence. Not only did the film prove that Marvel could make…

Much has changed since the beginning of the DCEU. Gone is Zack Snyder’s dour aesthetic for something very different, something that varies from movie to movie. As such, the DCEU now has a colorful, all-over-the-place…

A few years after whatever the hell Suicide Squad was released, Harley Quinn has her very own movie in Birds of Prey. Or, the actual title, Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One…

Similar to its leading lady, Cathy Yan’s Birds of Prey (2020) was dealt a shit hand. David Ayer’s Suicide Squad (2016) is a music video masquerading as a feature film, a two-hour movie trailer full of undeliverable promises. And…

Birds of Prey came in well below studio and industry expectations, battling a slew of Oscar-nominated movies as well as other popular movies in their latest weeks of release. Was it the quality of the…

Joker has been out for about a month now, and over the course of that month, it managed to take over meme culture, stir up some unneeded controversy, and gross well over $900 million (and…

Tommy Lee Jones put it best (as Agent Kay) when he said that “People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it.“. While being a fan of a particular franchise or series is fun,…

Shazam! is the first comic book movie in a while to lean full tilt into its source material’s cheesiness. While Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy has been noted for its campiness, it has nothing on Shazam!. This isn’t bad,…

February’s dismal start continues through Valentine’s Day weekend. Alita: Battle Angel, Happy Death Day 2U, and Isn’t it Romantic all struggle to earn back their budgets. The Lego Movie 2 continues to underperform its predecessor,…

Movie trailers lead me into one of two opinions over an upcoming movie. Ideally, I see the trailer and think “wow, that looks really good.”. However, often times I see the trailer and think “put…

EVERYONE! Agrees with this statement. No argument. And so I thought until I ran into an internet troll which led to the creation of this post. Little did he know Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice left…

Before any comic book nerds come at me telling me about the numerous superhero universes there are, please keep in mind that the last time I read something was in elementary school. I no longer…

To celebrate the release of Teen Titans GO! To the Movies, MovieBabble has created a Spotify playlist inspired by the film. Some of the choices are a bit on-the-nose (like from the actual soundtrack for instance),…

I’m sure I’ve not been alone in thinking that Hollywood really needs to focus on a great villain-oriented movie. I’ve said it about Voldemort before and I’ve discussed why Suicide Squad doesn’t count. But now,…

The Star Wars franchise is currently experiencing its first real flop. (Side note, I am not taking 2008’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars into account.) Solo: A Star Wars Story has opened to dismal earnings,…

There are certainly fans of Justice League, but it appears that the general consensus is that the film was pretty underwhelming.  Earning less than stellar reviews and box office returns, many point to Justice League as another nail…

Let’s be honest, both fans and haters of the DC universe are intrigued by the outcome of Justice League.  The film has long been under scrutiny (and reshoots) that have only made the storylines even juicier. …

Putting it lightly, the DC Extended Universe has gotten off to a bumpy start with Man of Steel, Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Suicide Squad.  However, hope springs once again with the latest installment in the…

After the disappointment that was Batman V Superman, many DC fans then turned to Suicide Squad as the possible savior of the DCEU.  Many cited its seemingly lighter tone and feel to be a turning point from both Man of…

For years, many people were looking forward to the day where the two highest profile heroes would finally be in the same film together.  That hope came to fruition with Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman:…

Wonder Woman, the fourth DC Extended Universe film, is about to be released in theaters.  Leading up to its release, the first three DCEU films will be reviewed and discussed, starting with 2013’s Man of…
