Key quotes

· 3 pulled
I can handle a lot of violence in films. I wouldn’t have seen four John Wick films and the Ballerina spin-off if death-by-library-book bothered me — instead, it makes me a bit giddy.
What I’m not good with is violence unto eyes, something I wasn’t expecting to encounter in Superman.
Though given that this is a James Gunn movie, maybe I should have seen it coming. (Pun intended.)
Snippet from the RSS feed
From Superman to The Suicide Squad to Guardians of the Galaxy 3, James Gunn keeps going after increasingly big, wet, vulnerable eyes.
