It’s on Now tv / Sky Cinema. You can get a free trial apparently for 7 days. Might be worth checking out.

Just looked in to it.

It is indeed a 7 day free trial and cancel anytime.

Might do it Monday.

Just finished it. f***ing hell 4hrs lol.

It’s alright. 100 times better than the original (which isn’t difficult) in fact it’s a totally different film. Some bits I didn’t like, I still think some of the visual effects look crap in parts but some of it is pretty epic.

The world needs DC to step up and rival Marvel.

Is this the first step on their way back?

They need a Kevin Feige ffs. He should do both marvel and DC tbh

4 hours?

Lol, reeks of a vanity project.

DC is trash in general no way that can be worth watching.

They should pack it in and just do the odd Batman/Joker films and let Marvel handle the rest.

............. agreed.

Suicide Squad is trash, BvS was horrendous, WW 2 was ok, WW was decent, Aqua Man ok but felt a bit Indiana Jones but underwater.

So meh.

They just don't respect story telling, its all pyro technics and explosions, WandaVision had more quality story telling than all those films put together.

Marvel has been very lucky that in their times whether it was Stan Lee or Kevin Feige, they've always had someone at the helm who just gets it.

It really is that important to have someone heading a franchise who know's how to deliver the goods.

DC and Warner are just typical Hollywood trash, just like the Transformers franchise, no heart, story's are weak ........ can't be asked with them, Marvel gives out enough product that I don't even need them.

Most of the world disaree's with you.

Marvel films are the biggest grossing films out there.

I used to read Marvel comics as a kid so I love seeing it all being bought to the big screen.

Agreed, too much Marvel and superhero shit these days.


Prefer a good old fashioned shoot em up or similar action film.

Marvel films are as good as it gets. Have it all and no film is the same.

They've saved Hollywood.

Look at the dross at the Oscars. Parasite lol wtf

Enjoyed Parasite. Thought it was very good.

Like I said, the Snyder cut was alright and it really does have some good moments but I never enjoyed the battles that Batman and Superman have with whatever creatures or evil monsters that end up appearing. It’s always the same kind of shit, something that comes from hell that ends up destroying half the city. I’ve seen it far too many times before.

They also tried to cram too much in there. There are some random scenes near the end that will only really appeal to the super fans, which is cool and everything, but it felt like too much at times.
