Finally managed to catch it over the weekend. Great film... definitely one of DCEU's strongest films along with "Wonder Woman", "Aquaman" and "Man of Steel".

I went in expecting "Deadpool-esque" characteristics... instead what we got was generally a "fun for the whole family" type film.

Very hilarious, and Zachary Levi as well as Jack Dylan Grazer were the real stars of the film. The way they connected, the banters, the whole 'family thing' really worked in my opinion.

It's crazy, it's over-the-top, the humor was absurd and the action was frantic - - just the way I expected! biggrin.gif

My only gripe was probably the enemies that were quite cliche. Mark Strong did a decent job but the villain wasn't the strongest part of this film but I really appreciate how he became the villain.

I loved how they embraced the silliness... characters laughing at the film's main title hero and costume - that's brave. I can't imagine this type of scene in a Zack Snyder film (e.g. folks laughing at how The Flash ran), in fact I doubt Zack Snyder could have pulled this type humor-driven film.

I hope they make a sequel... and MORE CAMEOS please!

The ending bit at the cafeteria laugh.gif

An 8.5/10, not quite a 9 for me.
