This film only confirmed what I already believed: superhero movies aren't dead. What audiences are tired of is bad superhero movies - and we've had plenty of those recently. This one is the opposite. The action is intense and well-directed, the characters are full of personality and charisma, and their dynamic is genuinely fun to watch.
The editing felt a bit choppy at times, as if the film was originally meant to be longer but was trimmed halfway through. An extra 20 minutes could have made the story flow more smoothly. The cinematography isn't the film's strongest aspect, but there are still some beautiful shots with solid composition and color. The sound mix is good overall, although a few sound effects come off as a bit fake - nothing that ruins the experience.
The plot is relatively simple, but what matters is that it's well-executed. And that's the key: James Gunn understood something that the rest of the industry still hasn't - that sometimes, a simple story told with soul and personality is all it takes to make a great superhero film.
In short: this movie is a lot of fun, true to the comics and to the character. The visual effects are excellent. It's funny when it needs to be, serious when it should be, emotional, and even suspenseful at the right moments.

One of the worst episodes I've seen from the series. It's completely lacking in creativity and soul - and that's not even the worst part. It feels like the show is having an identity crisis: the stories don't seem to belong in the same universe, and the characters no longer feel like themselves. There's a drastic personality shift happening in an extremely short period of time, breaking the coherence that once defined the series.
In short, it's not fun, not interesting, not intriguing, not cool, not emotional, not funny. It's just dull and confusing.
It's incredibly frustrating to wait so long for so little.
And no - it doesn't have to be something revolutionary or groundbreaking. Something simple yet fun or intriguing, that stays true to the characters, would already be enough.
This season feels weak, soulless, and completely unfunny.

This series falls flat on nearly every level.
First, the writing is clumsy and unfocused-plot threads fizzle out without payoff, and the pacing drags whenever the story isn't shoehorning in an action scene. Those action sequences themselves are technically sloppy, with jarring cuts and inconsistent animation quality that undermine any tension they might've built.
Worse still, the show isn't really Dante's story at all, but Mary's-and she is by far the most unlikeable presence on-screen. Dante, the supposed hero, is inexplicably nerfed-his super-strength, super-speed, and near-superhuman reflexes all dialed down so that Mary can outshine "Superman." Meanwhile, Mary herself has zero vulnerabilities: she fears nothing, is almost never injured, and her cunning goes unchallenged for no discernible reason.
It's maddening that Dante saves her again and again, yet she never so much as utters "thank you." In one arc, after being rescued by a demon family, her gratitude amounts to threatening to kill them-and sure enough, she ultimately betrays them.
Characterization is this series' weakest link. Mary's cartoonish invincibility makes her impossible to root for, and Dante-who should be the heart of the story-feels two-dimensional, despite a few brief moments that hint at his capacity for growth, both physically and emotionally.
In sum, this show manages to be worse than just mediocre: it's a missed opportunity that squanders its legendary source material.
