Dani Alves Assisting Iniesta: Barcelona vs Malaga 2010-2011 Incredible possession sequence in buildup to the goal

The reason DC Comics still exists in the modern day is because it’s many stories are interconnected. Don’t embrace that, you reject the reason the thing you’re adapting is successful

You all won’t admit it, but I will. Matt Reeves hogging the Batman character and taking 7 years to release a fucking Batman movie is costing the DCU’s success It’s hard for general audiences to care about fucking Clayface when he can’t even fight Batman. Reeves is stingy af.

Clayface is a BIG surprise. I went in basically blind with two buddies I regularly hit Comic-Con with. None of us watched the trailers. That absolutely helped. This movie is wild. Gruesome. Disturbing. At times downright disgusting. And I mean that in the best way possible. Tom Rhys Harries is fantastic as Matt Hagen. The special effects are excellent. The runtime is under two hours. And the movie moves. There’s always something happening. The biggest surprise? Clayface barely feels like a James Gunn DCU movie. It feels much closer to The Batman, The Penguin, Joker and even Gotham. Matt Reeves’ influence is all over it. No forced comedy. No goofy treatment of the character. No divisive messaging taking over the story. And most importantly: Clayface is actually a VILLAIN. Not an anti-hero. Not a misunderstood good guy. The movie lets Matt Hagen become a full-blown psychopath and serial killer. That’s where Sony went wrong with movies like Morbius and Venom. Clayface doesn’t make that mistake. The body horror is nasty. I actually had to cover my eyes a few times. And by the ending, we finally get the giant, monstrous, shape-shifting Clayface fans know from the comics and animation. It looks great. I had a couple complaints, but nothing major. This is exactly the kind of DC movie I want more of. Dark. Serious. Comic-book focused. And willing to let the villain be the villain. Go see Clayface. 8/10. Full review: cosmicbook.news/clayface-rev…
