Four hours and two minutes long. Without gratuitious use of slow motion would have been a mere 83 minutes.

How do Amazonians reproduce? No, I mean really?
-
Do Atlantian women smell like, you know... [wife punches me]
-
How do Bruce and Alfred have time to build an infinite number of vehicles by themselves? Shouldn't it take them about 400 lifetimes to build one of them?
-
There have been so many iconic performances of The Joker that Jared Leto just looks... like a sad clown.
-
Need to go back and count to see if this film had more endings than Lord of the Rings.
-
Will Bruce and Diana stop giving each other meaningful looks and just shout "To the Batpole!" already?
-
Flashback battle scene mainly exists to showcase traditional Zack Snyder Flock of Airbrushed Abs.
-
Bruce Wayne can (unnecessarily) buy a bank to help out one character, but won't spring for a lawyer for another.
-
Three times the length, three times the MacGuffins.
-
Amazonian battle tactics don't exactly do the feminist movement justice.
-
Atlantian battle tactics don't exactly ... oh crap, we ran out of budget.
-
Presented in a 4:3 aspect ratio, in an a vain attempt to nostalgia-whore the 1980s more obnoxiously than Ready: Player One.
-
Oh for crying out loud quit teasing and give us a freaking upskirt shot of Wonder Woman already. Rude.
-
Needs a new Academy Award category for "Most Wasted Use of Willem Dafoe."
-
Jesse Eisenberg is all like "I got out of bed for this?"
-
Parademons are the new stormtroopers, as far as marksmanship goes.
-
Not content to settle for the figurative, this plot contains a literal deus ex machina.
-
Almost as many cameos as Zoolander, except instead of D-list celebrities it’s comic book characters we’ve never heard of.
-
Not content with stretching reality by showcasing superheroes and alien invaders intent on annihilating all life because... ummm... I guess the plot just requires it, this film goes even further into fantasy by showcasing Modern Monetary Theory.
Don’t worry!
His “very smart people” are totally right about things this time when it comes to trade.
There is zero - I repeat, zero - moral difference between the people who pushed for "experimenting" with lockdowns because "we have to do something!" and the people who push for "experimenting" with trade wars because "we have to do something!"
Musk is out.
Musk put himself in a corner where he can't rip into Trump and he has to play nice probably at least through the midterms, but just look at the guy's face and watch him refuse to give a straight answer here. He put a lot on the line with endorsing Trump and starting DOGE, and Trump absolutely stabbed him in the back. Trump's supporters will blame congress, but Trump has very openly and loudly endorsed all of the DOGE-defying moves that congress has made, and has viciously attacked the one congressman (Thomas Massie) who has stood against it.
The reason is simple: Trump cares about trophies. Cutting the budget is not a trophy. DOGE trying to take a chainsaw to government was a trophy, but as soon as DOGE became more of Musk's than Trump's trophy, Trump stopped caring about it because congress offered him a Big, Beautiful Bill as a trophy instead. Just like the FBI offered the opportunity to build a Big, Beautiful new headquarters building for them (Trump loves buildings!). ...
As comedy slowly slides into unfunny wokeness hell, the last comedian standing (assuming he doesn't drop dead first, I mean just look at the guy; he's a trainwreck) will be Doug Stanhope. He closed out his recent special "The Dying of the Last Breed" with this bit on how important it is that we be able to make fun of anything. Because making fun.
Language warning, duh.
Preliminary Q2 numbers for Argentina are in. This is still subject to adjustment but so far their preliminaries have been pretty accurate under the Milei administration.
Slashing spending works. Trump and Bessent are very optimistically projecting economic growth of 3% doing the opposite of what Milei is doing to deliver 7.6% - and climbing!
