Fucking DC, why must they fuck everything not Nolan's Batman.

Since they can't get the heroes right, I'd love for them to start a run on movies solely developing the villain. I'd enjoy 2 hours nothing but the joker and no happy ending.

They are rushing this shit. You see what Marvel (Disney) is doing. Release a solo movie or 2 of a character, and then put out the Avengers. DC puts out Man of Steel and pretty much put out Justice League lite.

That, and they hired the shittiest director in Hollywood to lead the production of all of these movies.

Read something that they filmed a dark and lighter comedic version. Both reviewed OK and they could decide which path to take, so they just merged them and fucked everything up.

Murder Superman just bummed me out too much to want to watch anymore of these DC movies. It's kind of liberating I was tired of having to keep up with all of the Marvel and DC movies and now I don't have to bother with half of them.

I liked it for what it is.
Harley Quinn was good. Will Smith was Will Smith (the same character he has been playing since Independence Day) and the action was good enough.
The obligatory scene after the credits was nothing special b/c it wasn't a big reveal or surprise.

I actually would like to see the director's cut before the studio meddled.

Every single "funny" thing was in the previews. It would have been a better movie without the humor. It was dreadfully okay. It's right in Will Smith's wheelhouse though, he was good. Leto was fine but forgettable. Worth seeing if you're a comic fan, skip it if you're not.

Fuck.

This was my fear I've had since hearing about how they tried to "funny up" the movie after the complaints about BvS being so serious.

At least I get sushi tonight out of the deal.

The theatre was about 3/4 full and there were maybe 2 audible chuckles during the film. The preview scene where Harley breaks into the store to grab the purse was so obviously stuck in there without rhyme or reason, it was jarring. It tried to be GotG and it didn't need to be. I think what was in the movie was perfectly acceptable until they tried to Deadpool it up with reshoots (presumably).

I really liked it. Didn't love it. The studio meddling prolly fucked with the pacing of the movie. I know David Ayer is a good director despite all the hate. Fav characters were Deadshot, Harley, Joker, and don't sleep on El Diablo. Jay Hernandez was fucking great.

I seriously hope the rumors are true about Affleck's solo Batman being a Good, the Bad, and the Ugly with Joker, Deadshot, and Batman. Those three guys would kill together in a film.

The suits panicked big time after the reception of BvS. Sadly, it looks like they shot themselves in the foot again.

Here's hoping that with the promotion of Geoff Johns to head decision maker in regards to anything DC related that things will get better. Word is, that his era begins with the Wonder Woman film.

I'm hoping Johns helps as well. I'm not even a big DC guy, but you can't waste talent like Affleck, Leto, Smith, and Robbie. Those actors rival the talent of the X-men cast. This whole Suicide Squad thing makes me depressed for DC. It's obvious how balls deep Jared Leto went into his character and he gets maybe 10 minutes in the movie. I'm just gonna keep drinking until I don't feel sad about this movie anymore.

Really hope they hang onto Leto, Robbie, and Smith going forward. Smith especially was great in this film.

Edit: Wonder Woman looks fucking great.

Everyone is locked into two to three picture deals.

And there ain't no way they're interfering with Affleck when it comes time for him to direct his Bat flick. He's got Nolan like status over at Warner Bros.

Yeah, if Affleck doesn't have carte blanche over his film then I give up on the DC universe. Him, Leto, and Smith alone would net the film $500 million just on their name recognition.

Idgaf I liked this movie. So did most people too, as the audience score is 74% right now on RT.

I found this surprisingly good. Only real complain would be that the villain absolutely sucked...otherwise, I enjoyed myself.

I liked that movie 'Artifact' that Leto was in. But they should've cast someone else in his part. He was way over the top.

Haven't seen Suicide Squad yet.


GotG was/is an outlier. A story about characters that really was not mainstream that turned into the best thing Marvel(Disney) has released. It was fucking genius!

It's up to there with Captain America, Iron Man 1......and Ant-Man.

I think k the Avengers was alright but Joss Whedon made them not as good as they could have been.

I agree that the villain was lame and Leto should be annoyed. He never really did anything "joker-like" except in one or two flashbacks unless you count having a bunch of furries with machine guns. In fact he was almost a normal person with face tattoos and a grill.

With that in mind, I found the movie to be rather enjoyable.

The 1st movie was well above avg, the 2nd was off the charts, and the 3rd sucked. It felt rushed, truncated and I thought they were going somewhere else with it.
