My history with
DCComics Movies has been hit, mostly miss. Marvel as a whole is much better in just about every aspect.
All DC movies released theatrically. Some were theatrical only in other countries, but it counts.

- It started with Batman (TV)- Despite being a parady, I was able to enjoy it. Adam West (Batman) and Burgess Meredith as the Penguin were stellar.
- First 2 Superman with Christopher Reeve were good. Actually thought the first one was excellent.
- Swamp Thing- I don’t remember if I saw it.
- Tim Burton Batmans- I hated too dark, along with hating disgusting Penguin, Joker, and Riddler.
- Road to Perdition- Ehh.
- League of Extraordinary Gentlemen- Ehh.
- Cat Woman- Ehh.
- V for Vendetta- One of my favorite movies!
- Christopher Nolan Batmans- better but still dark. Heath Ledger’s Joker, makes The Darl Knight the best Batman ever made Imo, although at this point, I am done with Batman and Gotham City.
- Watchmen- Possibly the best Visual Novel I’ve ever read, reaching depths rare for typical comics, yet the story was just ok. The movie did nothing for me, the TV series was much better.
- Red- Ehh.
- Man of Steel- with Henry Cavill was pretty good.
- Suicide Squad- Marvel trashy version?
- Wonder Woman- Thumbs up!
- Aquaman- I read the lead and his co-star had zero chemistry. I think she sued Johnnie Depp.
- Birds of Prey- I really wanted to like Harley Quinn
- Joker- I heard it was good, but more dark.
- Wonder Woman 1984- they ruined it.
Interesting take.
I believe everything before Zach Synder gained control was either good or not so good.
Batman - Tim Burton was great, I saw this in the theatre day of release, not that it made it good, it was on it's own. Interesting cast choices which turned into surprising performances backed with decent writing. The movie is very memorable to this day and a basic quote mill, with fantastic music.
The later Batman's - not so good.
Batman - Nolan one of the best remakes of a series, a true retelling of the story with a very distinct quality of it's own.
V for Vendetta - great.
Zach Snyder - The guy is a hack. The Watchmen being the only exception. Having good reference material and basically putting the graphic novel on screen with little straying (almost matching the visuals to the comic frames), and him sticking to more limited input made this work.
MoS, BvS. They let Zach loose and it shows they are garbage. Sorry fans, bad writing, too many risks which didn't pay off and bad execution. So much FX's and blowing everything up nothing has weight or purpose. Just blow the stuff up! Superman basically going berserk and destroying most of Gotham, yeah that kinda leads us to BVS, great idea, but badly executed, and a Superman you don't like.
Henry Caill and Ben Affleck both were perfect casting, but not utilized due to terrible movies
Wonder Woman 1 - overrated, but 3/4 better then the garbage before so it looks great. But that third act has ZS written all over it, dark, ridiculous FX, and everything blows up, with no point. I could not finish it.
Gal Gadot at first I thought was badly cast, but is great, but WW1 she is so wooden. Her best WW was in Justice League where she brought more charm to the character.
WW II - yikes that was bad. Unwatchable. ZS strikes again, indirectly.
Black Adam - Not good, but not unwatchable. The Rock under utilized. The stench of ZS still persists, over the top FX, lightening everywhere, glass FX, slow motion galore, pretty black girl slow mo with crazy hair. Rage face at the camera, ZS just recycles the same stuff he has been doing since The 300.... Kinda surprised there wasn't lightening underwater in Aquaman
Anyhow yes he didn't direct this, but it's obvious he was involved somehow.
The sooner they completely remove ZS from any production going forward the better, I mean everything, no influence what so ever. No production house, no writing, no producer or otherwise. Hopefully this is what James Gunn is hoping to do. They don't have to be like Marvel or anything that complex, just put out some decent movies!
