Making It (2018)
Such high hopes, only to be dashed upon the rocks...
I love Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman, but this show just isn't doing it for me. The humor is cheesy at best and forced/unnatural at worst. God forbid they show you HOW the crafts are made. I know, I know, that's a crazy expectation when watching a crafting show.
And the worst (Etsy) part is that (myBluPrint) I can't (Etsy) tell who (Etsy) sponsors (Etsy) the (myBluPrint) show. It's such a (Etsy) mystery.
The Death of Superman (2018)
Horrible cast, ridiculous dialogue, and worst of all - boring
It's nice that DC apparently let their kids write a script, but they really shouldn't have used any of it for the movie. The dialogue is atrocious - stilted and ham-fisted at ever turn.
And the voice actors were horribly miscast - Rainn Wilson (whose work I usually enjoy) was arguably a worse choice for Lex Luthor than Jesse Eisenberg, an impressive feat in itself. Jerry O'Connell (Superman) and Rosario Dawson (Wonder Woman) fared little better, but that might have been due to the absolute garbage they were being given to work with.
How does one make a JL versus Doomsday movie *boring* of all things? The first half of the movie is a disjointed mess, a blatant attempt to shoehorn in the 4 new "Supermen" that will be starring in the next flick, but they contributed nothing to the story. The whole subplot about Lois meeting the Kents was 100% unnecessary and only served as padding for the movie length. Martian Manhunter didn't appear at all in the flick except to show up, get set on fire, and then not be used again. And as much of a fan of profanity as I am, it was just stupid in this movie. Not that superheroes can't swear, but it sounded like an 8th grader wrote it.
Skip this. Skip it hard. Want to watch a DC animated flick that's worth it? Go watch "Batman: Under The Red Hood", "Justice League: Doom", "Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox", or "Superman/Batman: Apocalypse". Even "Superman: Doomsday" (you know, the first time they made this animated movie?) was better than this, and I didn't like "Superman: Doomsday".
Ugh, I wish I could give this thing negative stars...
