After a string of flop after flop, it was inevitable that the DCEU, as we knew it, needed a serious shake-up. Now don’t get me wrong — there were some successful films, like Man of Steel and Aquaman (which even crossed the $1 billion mark). But a few financial wins weren’t enough to justify keeping the extended universe alive in its current form.

So, in 2022, Warner Bros. brought in James Gunn as the new CEO to spearhead what was essentially a reboot of the DCEU — now rebranded as the DCU (DC Universe). Gunn had already earned major credibility thanks to his success at Marvel, particularly with the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise, so fans were curious (and cautiously optimistic) to see what he would bring to the world’s first true superhero.

2025 has already been a great year for films, and F1 keeps that streak alive with style, speed, and serious star power.

From the very first scene, it grabs your attention and rarely lets up. The direction is slick, the race sequences are visually stunning, and the sound design makes you feel like you’re right there on the track. Brad Pitt brings effortless charm to his role, while the supporting cast—including Javier Bardem and Damson Idris—hold their own with solid performances across the board. It’s intense, it’s emotional, and it’s built for the big screen.

His latest film follows Janiyah, a single mom with a sick child, living in a rundown apartment. From the title alone, I knew exactly where it was going. Tyler might mean well, but he writes like the audience is a room full of toddlers who can’t be trusted to understand basic emotion unless it’s screamed, repeated, and color-coded. He doesn’t just underline the message — he grabs a crayon and draws you a picture.
