I enjoyed BvS but it's because i can't help getting excited about seeing iconic characters on screen,i'm nothing but a huge fanboy so i can overlook the flaws at some point. And other times those flaws are just too obvious but these stuff don't turn the movie into a bad one for me as long as the actual product has enough redeeming qualities. For me in BvS it was Affleck. But i also write in a local movie/comic site and when i have to put a review for a comic book movie i try not to be a film critic or a fanboy. I try express my opinions as an average movie-goer so i point out the flaws even though some of them might not be huge problems for me. And let's face it BvS is really not a good product for an average movie goer. And critics don't write their reviews for fanboys, they do it to inform average movie-goers.
Blinded DC fanboys are unable to see this.

It's refreshing to see someone acknowledge both sides. My friends were geeking out over so much stuff in BvS, especially the part in space since I guess that's a thing from somewhere else, but none of it did much for me as someone only passingly familiar with the characters.

I'm hoping I get much more from Suicide Squad on Thursday because again I have no attachment to the world or characters going in, so it's all on the movie to make me care about them and buy into the story
 
I have it on good authority that this is NeoGaf poster DMczaf. The Batman Returns McDonalds cup is a dead giveaway.

The best.
 
No "I can't wait to show you my toys" bit, flashbacks go by really fast... I feel like there will be an extended version for Blu ray. Joker is fantsstic, I absolutely can't wait to see more of him. He's pretty funny and dude absolutely commands the scenes he's in. Still don't expect much of him as people have warned before. Maybe 10min total screentime. Batman chase wasn't cut down in the Conan bit or maybe had a brief extra second flash by so don't get hyped for Batman interaction there you've essentially seen it all. I thought Cara was great but some of the Enchantress bits were blegh. Harley has her accent so ppl bitchin bout that can be quiet. Will Smith is Will Smith with a pinch of edginess sometimes, he won't surprise you.

Movie was great, a lot of fun, had some really great stuff in it, certain aspects of the villian were pretty lame and bland but I wasn't expecting to really care for it anyway, I came for the Squad. Anyway driving home gtg
When? Cause it seemed p. absent from all of the trailers and clips.
 
How was the Joker in this movie? How was his relationship with Harley? Was there at least good chemistry?

Oh there was chemistry. Joker was solid, but again, its not his movie and rightfully so.

Also, reception has been what I expected. Fans enjoyed it, general audience who happened to score tickets to early previews enjoyed it as well for what it was. Its on the same level as Guardians of the Galaxy, complete with soundtrack. Enjoyable cast with some great acting at the right parts and its an all round good movie.

Go in with a level head and you'll be fine.
 
I have no idea what David Ayer means about the Damaged tat, but:

❝ Maybe the word ‘Damaged’ is in reaction to something that a certain Bat did. Maybe the grill has something to do with that also. There is a logic behind everything. ❞

Well in the comics batman punches the jokers teeth out so... that would explain the grill. Idk how the tattoo would have anything to do with Batman though.

He tattooed DAMAGED on the joker's forehead?
What if Batman did all of these tattoos?
 
Kevin Smith loved it. Can't post his tweet right now.

Make of that what you will.
 
What part did he cry during?

The part where he sat down in the theatre.
Just have to wait though. As soon as is pal -'I hate all comic book movies because I think I am an adult, but I love those older ones where the characters were cartoonish and now I make bad jokes about movies I can't make even if I tried'-Ralph starts shitting on it, Kevin will too.
 
He did not like BvS or the UC.

Here's his tweet, by the way.

You magnificent bastard! @SuicideSquadWB is a beautiful, visionary, fun-ass film! You did @DCComics proud, sir!
He was invited to the premier too, it's fair to take what he says with a grain of salt. Also he's not really a barometer as he loved MoS, which was awesome but as you know it had mixed reviews. Stop rasing my expectations dang it.
