Release: Metamorpho

Metamorpho
Genre: Action/Superhero
Director: Scott Derrickson
Writer: Dominic Wilkins
Based on DC Comics characters
Cast: Edgar Ramirez, Hugo Weaving, Alice Eve, Rory McCann, Michael Rooker, Gary Cole, Amr Waked




Budget: $135,000,000
Domestic Box Office: $160,102,984
Foreign Box Office: $211,500,333
Total Profit: $92,442,790

Reaction: The numbers are a healthy improvement over the box office performance of Captain Atom across the board (higher domestic gross, foreign gross and profit), so it's certainly a step in the right direction for the DC Comics Universe films from the MBWA.


"Unlike Jon Hamm's bland and stiff performance in Captain Atom, Edgar Ramirez is a breath of fresh air, oozing charisma as the adventurer-turned-mutant-turned-reluctant hero." - Alonzo Lane, The Star-Ledger


"Scott Derrickson has delivered an action-packed superhero film full of adventure and ample charm from its lead, Edgar Ramirez." - Paul Landon, Film School Rejects


"The stakes just felt so small in this one. It was also especially odd that most of the villains in the film didn't appear to have any issue with our hero Metamorpho, but rather they had their antagonistic relationship toward Hugo Weaving's Simon Stagg, and Metamorpho just happened to get involved. These blockbuster superhero movies really need a proactive hero to work on a storytelling level, and Metamorpho just didn't quite live up to that for me." - Ken Decker, Denver Post

Rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence, brief gore, some sexual content including innuendo, a crude gesture and language.
