JUSTICE LEAGUE AT IMAX 3D
Watchable. I saw the beginning on a regular size screen and Imax looks better, even with its lame visuals and average 3D. Combat scenes sounded way too loud though. Darker times, darker Themyscira - no more sunny Italy pictures. Bruce Wayne overtly admits his superpower is being rich. A new hot act is introduced - Ezra Miller as Barry Allen/Flash. Hottie Ben Affleck still plays Batman. I'd rather Michael Caine were Alfred. Jeremy Irons looks like a dismal, dishevelled old chap. Rudimental plot but at least it's a direct continuation of "Batman v Superman" and "Wonder Woman". No humour apart from the fragment where the police question three criminals bound by the Lasso of Hestia which is a bit tongue-in-cheek. The best and very important scene is at the end of the credits. Glad Lex Luthor's out. The next installment has an outlook for being better.
WONDER
Watchable. Terribly sappy. Even though it's about bullying at school, isolation, feeling inferior or overlooked, here the bully gets punished, in addition immediately has remorses, the kid makes friends along the way and everyone wants to make up with others. On the other hand it shows how a bullied disfigured kid can react: "It takes a lot of plastic surgery to look that good" and, even more importantly, how bystanders should behave. Ah, and the kid has a cool quilt with a picture of an astronaut uniform which, when he covers himself, gives the impression he's in the suit. All in all it's mawkish but with role models, well-paced and apt for middle and high school students.
TOTEM
Walked out. I couldn't stand the vulgarisms. It depicts everynight life of lowlifes. F-worded conversations of drug dealers and pimps mix with extremely loud techno in seedy clubs. No wonder guys sitting behind me stank of weed. Only such viewers may be interested.
