We’re not sure how much time is remaining for the $35 in…

‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ Drowns the Dying DCEU With a Noisy, Soulless Excuse for a Film

Like Harvey Dent, the DCEU is a franchise with two faces. On the one side, it brought us Wonder Woman, The Suicide Squad (and Peacemaker), Birds of Prey… On the other, it also gave us the Martha moment, Jared Leto’s Joker, and Henry Cavill’s Justice League lips. 2023 has been a terrible year for superhero movies all round, but while Marvel Studios has many more years ahead to wash the stain off its cinematic universe, this is it for the DCEU, soon to be rebooted with James Gunn’s shiny new DCU.

A Woefully Sorry Excuse for Cinema Sinks Its Fangs Into a Streaming Vein

via 20th Century Fox Parodies and spoofs used to be genuinely funny – as well as a consistently successful stream of hit movies – until the infamous duo of Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer arrived on the scene. The pair delivered several of the worst mainstream comedies you’re ever likely to see, but Vampires Suck mercifully kick-started the beginning of the end for a craze that had overstayed its welcome.
