Everything about this production is backwards and wrong-headed. Including Keaton is the rotten cherry on top.

Rikard Andersson

As much as I like Michael Keaton, having to cram in his Batman just shows Warner has no confidence in their movie Cheap fanservice and marketing ploy The Flash movie should be about The Flash

Mutale Mwananshiku

Yes cause the only reason people are interested in this movie is because of keaton coming back not because of millers flash.

I'll echo some folks in saying if it were not for 89 Batman returning, I'd be much less excited about this film. Instantly goes from a maybe I'll catch it on Netflix to day 1 in theatres.. Alternatively, they could have just made a Crisis/multiverse film and I would have watched it for Keaton.

Ezra Miller is annoying, Keaton Batman is the only reason I will even watch it.

Rikard Andersson

But do you HAVE TO watch the movie then? Michael Keaton can't compensate for a bad The Flash movie since it should be about The Flash

Rikard Andersson

Then the better option would have been to recast The Flash

Unknown Passenger

For the mere fact that I can't stand Ezra Miller's Flash.

1.) The multiversal twists will help to differiate it from the now definitive CW Flash. 2.) This Flash actually had (imo) great chemistry with his Batman (Affleck), so pairing him with another makes some sense. 3.) Audiences were not sold on Miller's Flash, so Keaton will likely drive ticket sales.

Better action, better acting, more memorable dialogue

Because Mars Attacks sucks raw eggs

Rachel Clara Smith

Remember the scene where Will Smith flies his plane through the canyon?

I have a lot more fun watching Independence Day. As a Canadian even I can’t help but root for America to kick ass at the end when the president gives his speech. Mars Attacks has always come across like more of a modern Tim Burton film to me. It’s all style and the rest just doesn’t matter.

Independence Day is cheesy and entertaining, I think Mars Attacks is a bit too cynical

ID4 is stupid with obnoxious characters and drags on, MA is just weird

I love all the cameo appearances!

I don't look at reviews to help me decide, I usually wait until I've seen something a couple of times then I watch a review or two.

Justin Hayes

It’s really both for me. I listen to the general consensus of professionals, and then I watch a few YouTubers I like

Justin Hayes

I’ll also add that it’s very rare for me to have not made up my mind already if I was seeing something or not. Usually I watch the YouTubers only after I’ve seen it myself or decided I’m not seeing — if it’s the latter, they could potentially change my mind

Not by much, tho. People will always have a bias or agenda, be it monetary, political, or just to get on a bandwagon. I voted this way because bias in Independent creators isn't a systemic problem like it is in professional circles. It all comes down ti the individual here.

SpedeVesku

Nothing against the big professionals, I just have my go-to guys (who just happen to be smaller names) and know how their opinions align with mine (at least most of the times).
