Blue Beetle was initially planned for an HBO Max release but Warner Bros. Discovery made the decision to give it a theatrical release. There is a mid-credits scene. I do not know if there is a post-credits scene because I didn’t stay that long. I almost didn’t even review the film. It’s not for the lack of trying on my part. A set of parents brought their child–under a year old–to the press/promo screening on…

Leslie Iwerks and Mark Catalena spoke with Solzy at the Movies about their new DC Comics documentary, Superpowered: The DC Story. The three-part documentary series is narrated by Rosario Dawson and features sixty new and archival interviews with actors, filmmakers, creators, and executives. Iwerks and Catalena take an unprecedented look at the history of DC Comics over the course of three hours. As Catalena tells Solzy at the Movies, this documentary series could easily have…

Much like the Arrowverse, The Flash goes back into the past, which leads to both Flashpoint and the resetting of the DCU. First things first: the press screenings consisted of an end credit scene. It is entirely possible that there is a mid-credit scene but these were not in the press screenings. From talking to friends that saw earlier screenings, there were things at the end of the film that were not in those earlier…

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, which is the worst Superman film ever and nearly killed the franchise, makes its arrival on 4K Ultra HD. The film makes its arrival as part of the Superman 1978-1987 5-Film Collection getting the complete upgrade to 4K as Warner Bros continues its 100th anniversary celebration. After the wretched Superman III, take a good look around and see who isn’t involved with this mess: the Salkinds, Richard Lester, David…

Superman III, which is among the worst comic book movies ever, makes its arrival on 4K Ultra HD in time for its 40th anniversary. The film makes its arrival as part of the Superman 1978-1987 5-Film Collection getting the complete upgrade to 4K as Warner Bros continues its 100th anniversary celebration. This is one of those films where one can immediately tell it’s going to be terrible. Right off the bat, Richard Lester opts for…

Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, which restores the filmmaker’s vision to the Superman sequel, makes its arrival on 4K UHD. The film makes its arrival as part of the Superman 1978-1987 5-Film Collection getting the complete upgrade to 4K as Warner Bros continues its 100th anniversary celebration. In a perfect world, Dick Donner would have been able to finish directing the film in the late 1970s. He filmed scenes for both films simultaneously but…

The Superman 1978-1987 5-Film Collection is getting the 4K Ultra HD treatment as Warner Bros. celebrates its 100th anniversary. I’ve already reviewed Superman: The Movie when the film was first released on 4K UHD for its 40th anniversary in 2018. The new collection gave me an opportunity to watch and regret watching Superman III and IV for the first time. When it comes to II, the only cut that I viewed was the Richard Donner…

Shazam! Fury of the Gods isn’t quite as fun as its predecessor but the sequel is just entertaining enough to offer audiences a good time. If you don’t read any further in this review, please make sure to stay for the credits. There is a mid-credit scene and a post-credit scene. My main question is what do these scenes mean given the new leadership at DC Films and the future of the DC Universe (DCU).…

Warner Bros. released the full trailer for The Flash during the Super Bowl even though Ezra Miller has not earned any public forgiveness. Hollywood likes to think that people have amnesia, that we won’t forget actors in the news for bad reasons. There are those of us that are not looking forward to this film solely because of Miller. It is the honest truth. Where is Grant Gustin when we need him? Even his Flash…
