It was mediocre, could have done without Cena and arsehole eyes in it

Hate to admit that I liked it. I actually felt something for the "monster." He was happy, floating, starring at the stars, dammit.
I'd also love to eat Margot Robbie's Australian asshole.

My review

Watched 07 Aug 2021

Subverted expectations are what was supposed to make this thing work. But it’s all just to short-circuit the audiences’s otherwise fried dopamine receptors. The idea being, since all capeshit is basically the same, any minor deviation from formula will be a welcomed one, so long as its truly minor and doesn’t upset the carefully crafted conditioning being funneled in from the central pipeline. Without which you lose the replicability needed to make these things more profitable than the Vatican. Basically it’s like watching a Christian film that has some curse words…
Since ‘Deadpool,’ this sort of half-parody, post-ironic superhero thing is basically a genre, so anyone who has seen one of these before knows, for example, that Margot Robbie is going to kill the guy she just had sex with the moment he starts talking. Cultural conditioning has never been more obvious than it is today.

There was one somewhat interesting thing though and I’m not sure who is responsible for it. The main villain is somewhat like the Borg (at least conceptually), its minions are connected to it by wires. Screens are attached to their faces like masks with the image fed to them from a centralized screen which transmits the same message to all its parts so that they will carry out its will — saying identical things and punishing anyone who isn’t doing likewise. This pleasantly surprised me.

It’s perhaps the only time one of these things had the surrogate audience also be the villain. It was like watching a Christian film that had full frontal. A pleasant surprise.

Shame about the rest.
