This movie gave my family enough "flerken" jokes to last my cat's natural lifetime. For that, I will always be grateful.)
LOL! You and the rest of the movie going public that happens to own cats, apparently. Particularly those with fat ginger cats.
I guess I was slightly disappointed that the movie never hit that "next level." Maybe on rewatch, I'll appreciate it for what it is--a solid, science-fiction action/adventure flick.
I went in with low-expectations. The critical reviews were luke-warm at best, as were many of the reviews on DW.
So, I knew from the reviews -- it would be great on the politically progressive front and fast-action sequences, but lacking in overall character development. (Although to be fair, most action adventure sci-fi movies do..) Also...it had two directors and three screen-writers -- this never bodes well for a movie. Considering that? It was actually pretty good. Also if you compare it to a lot of the DC flicks (ie. Superman and Justice League), it's very good. I'd put it and Wonder Woman on the same level, in some respects WW was better, and in other respects CM was better...
