Invincible This comic book is brought to life in an animated series (4 episodes released so far with another 6 coming). It revolves around a teenager (Steven Yeun) who’s just discovering the superpowers he inherited from his father (J.K. Simmons). The rest of the cast features notables like Sandra Oh, Zachary Quinto, Walton Goggins, Seth Rogan and Andrew Rannells (as the gay best friend). Since it’s animated, anything can be created, so it’s reliant on the writing and characters to make it interesting…and it mostly works. There’s also some creativity in the direction and details. Overall, it will be most enjoyed by folks who like this sort of thing.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League The original version was a 2-hour mess (my 2-star review). Zack Snyder, who directed it, had to leave during post production after his daughter died. Joss Whedon was brought in to rework it considerably (to overall negative response). HBO let Snyder spend $70 million to create his version that clocks in at 4 hours! The plot doesn’t really matter: A group superheroes (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Aquaman and the Flash) joins forces to fight the latest universe-destroying villain. These movies are all about action and this one’s loaded. The dialogue is streamlined, character development gets a nod and there’s almost no humor (Ezra Miller’s Flash provided the few fun moments). This makes way for plenty of flashy, well-staged fights and spectacular, impressive effects. Snyder’s version is very different and much better than the original. Sure, it’s long, but just think of it as a 4-part series and strap in for superhero excitement.
