>>104405379>>104406980DCEU movies have a habit of getting a strong opening weekend with no follow-through. The only exception so far has been Wonder Woman, which was set in a different time period and frankly if she hadn't appeared in those other shitty movies would have nothing to do with the DCEU at all.
True, according to casting info there's at least two separate flashback periods to his childhood in this movie, so a good chunk of it is just going to be that, but otherwise there's nobody in it but Johnny Depp's ex-wife, the guy who hasn't been in a good movie since the first John Wick, and the guy who got his start in tv on the last years of Baywatch and only ever left that cultural desert of bit-parts and walk-ons because of 10 whole episodes of Game of Thrones he was in.
I mean no offense but that's pretty much what happened to Man of Steel. TV actor in the lead, accomplished actors as backup. No story, lots of flashbacks. The signs do not look good.
