Like all things DC, I love the characters. But also like DC, I don't love the storylines.
They went too mystical too quickly with this. It should have spent some time on street level crime, at least a season or two and then gradually built up into the fantastical fantasy, maybe an underlying story line whilst combating more 'realistic' crime/villains. Now we're left with only two characters (Raven and Star) who could actually serve any purpose, and because of this, their powers seem either confused or neutered and the various Robins a little bit out of their league, although Nightwing does come across as a great leader. Connor is the only one who seems to be well balanced.
For me it just seems all over the place trying to balance realism and fantasy, and yes, i say realism with a very loose tongue!
It's a shame, DC will always be my favourite of the two big comic hitters, but it's just not hitting the mark for me!

I honestly can't believe it's taken me until now (23/10/2022) to watch this absolute masterpiece! I'd heard it was good, but a story about an angry music teacher just didn't tickle the Spidey senses!
It is honestly one of the best films I have ever seen. Simmons and Teller were incredible from the first minute and it had me feeling every single emotion - happy, sad, angry, energised and uplifted. Not to mention how much I laughed at the dialogue.
It's genuinely made me want to start playing the drums, albeit with a different teacher 😅
Even the final deception with only about 15 minutes left of the film, I just thought 'oh, how are they ending the movie from here?'
And my god do they end it. Absolutely spectacular scenes in the last act! And will be a go to movie for me for a very long time to come!

I think the issue with Hollywood these days, is that they're trying so hard to appeal to everyone, that they actually don't appeal to anyone!
They can't make generic entertainment anymore, and by that, I don't mean boring, run of the mill, I mean entertainment that appeals to the masses. Everything seems so specific, yet they seem to miss their 'target' audience.
It's a totally bizarre method. I don't know what the end game is or where it will end. All I do know is, I will, for the time being, enjoy anything made before 2019 more than I do now, this 'RE' series included!
