->[[AttackOfThefiftyFootWhatever The Cyber King.]] He's a bit naff, isn't he? Don't get me wrong, the visualisation of his ascendance is faultless. From the physical sets rising with [[ManInTheMachine a beautiful woman at its heart]] to the painstakingly recreated version of Victorian London in CGI for him to trash as he marches through the town, the impressive budget is very much there on screen. If you are five years old this would probably be the pinnacle of ''Doctor Who'' for you, an enormous ''[[{{Film/Transformers}} Transformer]]'' style Cyberman [[StuffBlowingUp blowing an entire town to bits]]. It doesn't get more [='=]''Cor! Wow!''[='=] than that. But if you have reached adolescence and your brain can [[FridgeLogic skip over spectacle to good sense]] then the entire climax is just a mess of implausibility, embarrassment and lunacy.

->'''Chris''': I am honesty not even sure how I feel about this guy. On the one hand, this is quite possibly the stupidest way they could’ve done a live-action Deadshot, as a crazy {{steampunk}} cowboy with a {{ComicBook/Cable}} scar over his eye and [[ImprobableAimingSkills magic bullets that turn into little missiles]] when he fires them. But on the other hand, it’s so ridiculously over the top that I can’t help but kinda love it. This is what Deadshot would’ve been if he’d shown up in last summer’s terrible ''Film/JonahHex'' movie.\\

->'''Producer:''' You're really going to invoke the rule of cool right now?
