Does anyone else remember the insane amount of praise this movie got from celebrities before it came out? What was going on at that time?
Tom Cruise said he loved it. James Gunn said it was one of the best movies he had ever seen.

Probably because they were paid to be in it? I don't touch capeshit that isn't a parody with a 39-and-a-half foot pole, but that's likely it.
>>
>>154488489
No? All I remember from the pre-release is all the insane shit the main actor was getting up to
>>
>>154488489
It's a good movie.

>>154488489
WB was handing out paychecks and favors everywhere and even gave it a fucking superbowl ad.
Meanwhile Black Adam had the full might of WB and James Gunn's black PR shill and youtube grifters aginst it, a terrible movie slot, and no advertisement.
And it did just as well as Flash Aquaman 2 and WW 84. And WW84 was just a retread of the first WW movie.

Someone should try and chronicle the weird artificial hype for this movie along with the bizarre Ezra shenanigans. With how the internet moves and buries things faster than people think, it would be a good idea.
Apparently it was only Stephen King and Tom Cruise specifically who gave it praise, but we kept hearing about positive test screenings and Warner execs loving it.
I don't think Ezra Miller has done much since this was filmed like 5 years ago. He shows up now and then dressed up in some bizarre androgynous outfit, talks a bit, then fucks off to a nice house bought by his parents money I imagine.

Tom Cruise ALLEGEDLY said it
they paid him for a second hand praise lol

>Does anyone else remember the insane amount of praise this movie got from celebrities before it came out?
Yea, and every other movie to some degree. I don't mean to shit on your premise or whatever but that shit has been happening forever. They all know each other and all depend on each other for work and whether it's a favor owed or a deal to work together in the future they do this shit all the time to promote each others shit.

>>154489427
Did he actually escape jail?

>>154489427
Ezra's career died after the Flash.
>>
>>154490438
I think it was particularly egregious with The Flash because it had so little hype from fans, and the praise was coming from people wholly unconnected to the movie like Tom Cruise and Stephen King.
Everyone basically knew the universe was already dead and it was kinda pointless since it was just a way to soft reboot the universe
>>
>>154491201
His career should've died before the movie came out, with all the shit he was up to.
>>
>>154488678
The actor being crazy is the only thing I know about this version of flash
>>
>>154491239
I looked up the only other film that came to mind as heavily marketed and a big commercial failure.
Argyle the movie had an ARG element marketed as grassroots, with a novel 'written' by the main character, rumoured to have in reality been written by Taylor Swift.
Gibberish marketing headlines for a film that similarly got poor reviews.
Comparatively, Steven King having a retarded opinion on Twitter is a pretty common occurrence.
>>
>>154488630
None of the people praising it were in it.
>>154488687
No, it is an incredibly fun movie.
>>154488729
>WW84 was just a retread of the first WW movie.
Nope. 84 has soul, a message that doesn't get destroyed in the final act, and a good villain.
>>154489628
Nuh-uh, the director himself said Cruise personally called him to gush about the film.
>>154491352
That book was pure ass and felt AI written.

>>154488489
OP:
>the insane amount of praise this movie got from celebrities
>>154489427
The actual thread:
>it was just a couple guys paid to shill

I am so tired of being lied to... Ads lie to me, tralers lie to me, headlines lie to me, Youtube thumbnails lie to me, now even 4chan thread OPs lie to me...

Fun doesn't mean good, dumbass.

>>154488687
It's dogshit.
>>154493097
>Fun doesn't mean good
Yes it does.
>>
>>154494662
No, it doesn't. Fun means fun, good means good.
>>
>>154493001
You are like the first anon who likes WW84
>>
>>154493066
So I was half-right, figured there were paid shills. Just like there's paid shills surrounding that Supergirl movie nobody watched.
>>
>>154488489
It was a major blockbuster post covid so many in Hollywood were praising it for the health of the industry
