The movie is a perfect 6/10 star superhero flick. There's nothing new or interesting or anything creative about it. Heard it was originally a Max exclusive. To be honest, wouldn't be surprised if it got dumped there anyway. This is the most Marvel-like DC superhero flick you'll ever see in a while. It doesn't do much new, or even breaks any new ground in the superhero movie genre (not that there's any left to be broken anyway).
I did like the family dynamics a little, but if anyone's seen Ms. Marvel of the MCU (that makes like, ten people including me), it will all seem a little too familiar, except this time they are Latino. Some jokes are drawn out a little too much, and just like Marvel, serious moments are diluted with dank jokes that nobody laughs at, except maybe the cast and crew themselves. The villain, was... as expected, forgettable. Makes sense why they didn't feature her prominently in any of the promo or trailers. But hey, when you're making brand-safe superhero movies for kids you gotta draw some lines, I guess.
Overall, DC is just a scalding hot mess now, on an uncertain path both creatively and logically. I didn't even try to connect this movie in my head to any of the confusing mess of the DCEU and didn't even bother to use it as a foundation for James Gunn's Universe. If anyone wants, see for what it is and don't take it too seriously. If you don't, fine. The superhero film genre breathed its last on April 26, 2019 anyway.
