Cinemaholics Review: Justice League and The Punisher Season 1

Justice

Is Justice League the last comic book movie of 2017? If so, what a bizarre ending to one of the most bizarre years in comic book movie history (at least in recent years). What should have been the biggest comic book movie since, well, The Avengers, has arrived with little-to-no fanfare, but we’re here to judge the movie on its own, removed from any hype it may attempt to earn by merit of its seven icons.

I’m joined this week by my trusty cohosts Will Ashton and Maveryke Hines, but also special guest Craig Hanks from the Legendarium Podcast. You may remember I guested on that show to talk about The Dark Tower back in August, and per the holy podcast networking laws hiding in plain sight, it’s only fair to have Craig on this week to share his thoughts on Justice League, the DCEU, and where this frenetic franchise is headed next.

Aside from Justice League, we talk about The Punisher Season 1, plus some new movies you might be interested in. Pixar’s Coco (full review next week), Last Flag Flying, and Wonder get a few minutes each, and we finished out the show with some banter about new movies to come over the Thanksgiving holiday.

  1. This is a great point about the importance of careful handling and storage of sensitive measurement equipment! It reminds me of how crucial proper care is for any specialized tool, even in seemingly unrelated fields like digital voice production. Ensuring the longevity and accuracy of our tools, whether for physical measurements or crafting voices with tools like voiceslab, really does make a significant difference in the long run. Thanks for the insightful tips!

  2. The mention of Justice League’s muted arrival got me thinking. Was it really overshadowed by other comic book adaptations? And seriously, what about The Punisher’s initial moral conflict-didn’t that setup hook more viewers? Watching these on my couch gave me lots to ponder.https://paypalfeecalculator.org

  3. Seeing phrases like ‘frenetic franchise’ and guest Craig Hanks joining from Legendarium Podcast hit me. It reminds me of sitting on the subway browsing reviews; how can Justice League feel so underwhelming this year? Maybe X Video Download could lighten the mood a bit, or is it just another tool for movie night prep?

  4. I found it interesting that the review touched on both Justice League and The Punisher Season 1, giving me the feeling that 2017 was truly an unusual year for comic book movies.

    • Good point about Justice League arriving with almost no fanfare — it really was a strange year for comic book movies. The contrast between that and the buzz around Coco and Punisher Season 1 is telling.
