Clayface
Directed by James Watkins
Matt Hagen's meteoric rise from Gotham street kid to Hollywood leading man is tragically cut short when a local crime boss's actions leave him horribly disfigured. Abandoned by his team and with nothing left, Matt seeks out a cutting edge treatment that miraculously returns him to his former self… but also unexpectedly affects his grip on reality, spiraling him down a destructive path of all-consuming revenge.

neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve been biting my tongue about the Clayface movie since it seems like yall were liking it, but now that it’s getting comparisons to Morbius I can safely say it was over from the minute every interview mentioned the Animated Series two parter and nothing else.
negative · AI labelView post →Remember how nuts last weekend's movie roster was? This weekend brings us WILDWOOD, CLAYFACE, WICKER, A TALENT FOR MURDER, and KLARA AND THE SUN. Still playing: YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING, STREET FIGHTER, YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER YOUR MOTHER, WHALEFALL, FORGOTTEN ISLAND, even a few DEVILS screens. Wow.
neutral · AI labelView post →Clayface finally confirmed as an 18 in the UK. That it took this long to appear - well after the Irish film board gave it a 16 - suggests that WB was tried to appeal or cut for 15 (as per End of Oak Street), but the bodily harm theme meant it was simply not possible. www.bbfc.co.uk/release/clay...

Paramount's acquisition of WB is set to close on Tuesday, following a judge's approval of settlements required to close the deal. DC's "Clayface" will be the first Warner Bros. film under Paramount.
neutral · AI labelView post →>A whole lot of this hate feels like people piling on to pile on, hopping on the bandwagon to be part of the in-crowd, with no personal experience to actually draw from. That's basically "The Internet" in a nutshell. Chuds on Twitter or wherever want to hate something and for whatever reason the rest of the Internet follows along. Twitter is a place of hate, nothing good comes from there. It's not a real place. Fuck em. And I'm picking on Twitter, but fuck the whole lot of em. And I don't…

neutral · AI labelView post →Superhero movies have been around forever. The fatigue is from reviewers being forced to take some of them seriously. Certain people take a special delight in stomping on comic book movies, because it drives engagement. Case in point, here's what appears to be an objectively good movie coming out in a year with only one other superhero movie this year so far, and the headline includes a potshot about superhero fatigue. I haven't seen Supergirl yet, but from the reviews I gather that is was…

neutral · AI labelView post →I think what makes it extra difficult are the high stakes. A blockbuster film with a blockbuster budget has to make blockbuster money. I know it's impossible to fully scale down, and it seems like Disney is reducing what they're making for Disney+, but I do hope they find a way to make some smaller projects going forward. Shows like Loki and WandaVision are some of the best to come out of the "Multiverse saga". While they still had huge budgets follow ups like Agatha All Along were much more…

negative · AI labelView post →Wait, the Clayface film stars a Cardiff boy? Maybe I do want to watch it then.
positive · AI labelView post →It's not even a comparison. Not because any of them are bad, but because each Joker is in a different scenario. Tudyk's is a part of the Harley Quinn series, which is more about comedy than anything(also his Clayface is great). DiMaggio features in the Under the red hood movie, which is very dark and I think his performance fits that. Hamill is from the older animated series but he also shows up in the justice league series and a few movies. I'm not really old enough to appreciate him in the…

positive · AI labelView post →I’m pretty excited for the Clayface movie but I fear this show has done permanent damage to how I imagine the character now.
neutral · AI labelView post →as a comic book fan I just hate when they make films based on books or heroes that don't even get the time of day on the pages they're based off. like the Eternals, or Iron Heart, etc. There were a couple of exceptions like Guardians of the Galaxy and maybe Shang-Chi but even then it's like "Why do I want to go see a movie about Shang-Chi when I can't recall the last comic book I read that he was in" DC has the issue of over saturation of its characters and its properties PLUS reboots. Like…
neutral · AI labelView post →DC studios has made a pretty good horror film. CLAYFACE is a body-horror mash-up of THE SUBSTANCE and DARKMAN. Weirdly the only weak point is setting it in Gotham and wondering if any heroes will show up. Certificate 18 for gore!!!
positive · AI labelView post →It's a shame that CLAYFACE looks like it's going to be a bit of a bomb this weekend. I like the idea of body-horror films being smuggled into theaters under the guise of comic book films. Now, how long do we have to wait for our MAN-BAT film?

positive · AI labelView post →Clayface is probably gonna bomb which is kind of a shame cause it looks cool, but also I mean. It's a Clayface movie. It's cool and artsy but I don't know many people that are like, jumping to see a Clayface movie
neutral · AI labelView post →> The first reactions to DC Studios‘ much-talked about R-rated body horror film Clayface have hit social media and the early consensus seems to be genre fans will be very happy Hadn't heard of it before but the premise sounds good, cheers.
neutral · AI labelView post →Just a reminder that DCU only had 1 "badly reviewed" out of 4 projects so far.. I would freak out if both Lanterns and Clayface got bad reviews, but right now I don't doubt.

positive · AI labelView post →My best friend, a comic connoisseur and fellow Batman fan, losing his shit about the clayface movie. He doesn't even dislike Clayface...he just doesn't think he's a big enough character to his own movie. Let alone his own movie that's completely disconnected from Batman. The only reboot I'd be VERY on board with is Absolute Batman.
neutral · AI labelView post →Clayface insta account posting fan reviews from letterboxed about the film to try and show the film is good before the review embargo ends tomorrow does not fill me with confidence about the film lol

It was a Secret Screening showing, so I didn't have confirmation until it actually started. Superb film. Mike Flanagan driven horror comic film. 😁 I'm a happy and very entertained chap! 8+/10 #Clayface
