This was such a fun movie! I enjoyed it a lot. The cast did an amazing job. All the characters felt like people and not just characters. Of course there are some very comicbook choices, but that’s fine.

The story wasn’t too complicated, it flowed well and was well-paced. I will say that some of the sound design was a bit loud and that covered some of the dialogue in the louder scenes. And some of the funny or lead-up scenes from the trailers hit a bit less in the movie, but I didn’t mind that as much.

It was weird not to see the DC intro like in the rest of the DC movies, but since this takes place in the new DCU but is t supposed to start it, that’s an understandable choice. It certainly felt like it’s own movie and didn’t overtly feel (narrative-wise) like it needed to lead to another movie.

I enjoyed the themes in the movie and the little Easter eggs here and there. The family was so well done. I hope we get more from them in the future.

Mid-credit scene: Yes. This hints at the future for the characters. I am excited to see what that’s about. what it’s related to is a little bit predictable, but I didn’t mind that at all. And I wonder if it may also connect to another already announced project. We’ll see I guess!

End-credit scene: Yes. Sort of. It’s not necessary to stay as it’s more of a gag scene, but if you want to, go for it.
