They fucked it up

 

[Oddduck]

Time has posted their review.

Harley Quinn’s entrance is the best moment in Suicide Squad. After that, you can leave. Robbie is a criminally appealing actress, likable in just about every way, but that intro aside, Suicide Squad doesn’t serve her well. It serves no one well, least of all its audience. Other actors wander through listlessly: As Colonel Rick Flag, one of Waller’s helpless henchmen, Joel Kinnaman struts about sullenly, desperately looking for something to do.

Now and then there’s a dash of color, especially when Leto’s Joker appears, with his silvery capped teeth and Day-Glo hair. Leto seems to be channeling, consciously or otherwise, Richard Widmark in the 1947 noir Kiss of Death—that’s the one where Widmark’s truly creepy-evil character pushes an old lady in a wheelchair down the stairs.

But Leto is so textbook twitchy that he barely comes off as menacing. And his scenes with Robbie have no spark, no lunatic ardor. If you can’t strike a spark with Robbie, something’s terribly wrong.

Where's that youtuber from the BvS threads that keep saying fuck Marvel, saw BvS like 10 times and kept saying all the critics were paid?

 

[LyleLanley]

No, hes not. Letos only in like 10min max but I love what I saw from him more than any other live action Joker and give him a full starring role and I think he'll be iconic

 

[cr0w]

All those wishing Nolan would come back...hoo boy. Please, no. He had his three movies and he made one good one. In my opinion, of course.

What did he actually like about the movie?

What were the positives he listed?

He said the actors performances saved the movie.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

hey guys has anyone quoted plainr_'s GIF and laughed at it yet? I don't think we quite get the jist that it's funny.

 

[Henkka]

In 10 years there will be articles written on how badly WB got the DC universe wrong.

More like 10 minutes

There's so much anger and disagreement here, hope you guys don't fight each other and then all of a sudden start boning.
Thatd be weird and tasteless.

Audiences complained that Batman v Superman was too dark and depressing. So director-writer David Ayer (End of Watch, Fury) counters with light and candy-assed. I call bullshit.

Superfreaks become supersweeties and Suicide Squad: Dawn of Dullness (my subtitle) does the impossible. Forget Batman v Superman — at least it tried. This botch job makes Fantastic Four look good.

oh no come on DC are you kidding me?

 

[Black Republican]

for big blockbusters like this, on average how many reviews does rottentomatoes take in, around 50-60 reviews for S.S maybe? i know its currently 34..

At the same time Marvel doing their phase 6.

 

[TheDinoman]

Average reaction to the DC Extended Universe.

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

Anyone bringing up fantastic four hasn't seen it and shouldn't be taken seriously.
Fantastic four wasn't even a movie.
The fucking director stopped working on that movie half way through.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

What is fucking wrong with WB, how can you fuck your cinematic universe like this for so many movies in a row?

 

[ArtHands]

Leto hardcore method acting didnt do anything on his acting performance in this movie at all it seems.

 

[Phediuk]

Probably 300+ for this.

The reviewer brought it up though. We havent seen SS, so how do you know?

 

[OléGunner]

So what do you think is going on at DC headquarters right now?

Kevin Tsujihara: "Begin the thawing of The Matrix."

 

[BokehKing]

I agree.....until you compare it to the last 3 DC movie and they were all good ones.

It can't be.. it really can't be as bad. Even if SS is just an MTV video with the trailer songs playing throughout all the action, it would still be better.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

so Kevin Smith got another panic boner over a comic book movie?

 

[RibMan]

Disappointed. I'm not sure what they can/should do with future DC movies. They all just turn out bad.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

No, hes not. Letos only in like 10min max but I love what I saw from him more than any other live action Joker and give him a full starring role and I think he'll be iconic

Wait. You serious? Early screening or something you've read?

I KNOW!!!! I've been searching and have been unsuccessful ;-(

EDIT-:
Found him!

Here's his latest brain fart

We already got articles like that. Hopefully in 10 years, Disney buys DC from Warner Bros.

 

[Beefy]

Man the more reviews I read the worse it gets. This can't be worse then BVS can it?

 

[xxracerxx]

Wait. You serious? Early screening or something you've read?

The reviews are saying this, as well as a poster here who has seen it.

 

[ZoddGutts]

After reading the reviews, boy I want Deadpool sequel to come out soon.

 

[Toxi]

Well, at least The Killing Joke came out last week.

DC and WB couldn't possibly have messed that up.

 

[Wingfan19]

It can't be.. it really can't be as bad. Even if SS is just an MTV video with the trailer songs playing throughout all the action, it would still be better.

The commercial for SS is better than the entire FF movie (yes, I did see it). That movie literally does not have a point to exist except to hold onto franchise rights. I kept waiting for the movie to "start" and then it just kinda ended.

Kevin Tsujihara: "Begin the thawing of The Matrix."

We'll see how that Harry Potter spin-off goes before Tsujihara gets to continue making moves...

Dumbest comment I have read in here so far. TDKR was not amazing by any standards but it's better than anything else DC has put out since.

 

[John Dunbar]

Fantastic four wasn't even a movie.

at a certain point movies are so bad it's pointless to argue which are worse. suicide squad and fantastic four are in that territory.

 

[Diprosalic]

for big blockbusters like this, on average how many reviews does rottentomatoes take in, around 50-60 reviews for S.S maybe? i know its currently 34..

200+
can go up to 300 in the end.

Kevin Tsujihara: "Begin the thawing of The Matrix."

I wouldn't be surprised considering the lack of buzz Fantastic Beasts seems to have.

 

[Henkka]

The whole DCEU thing feels like "Well, I guess we should do this now"

No vision, no plan. Just start pumping out shared-universe movies, 2 every year.

 

[Scotia]

nah fam

 

[AkumaNiko]

and yet, sausage party still sitting at 100% on TM. Wow.

Maybe DC needs to beg disney to buy them so they get a chance at a single good movie.


I have no hope now for Justice League

 

[mcrommert]

Wait what did he say?

 

[Kuros]

Man the more reviews I read the worse it gets. This can't be worse then BVS can it?

If managed to make a worse movie than BvS theatrical cut I'd be amazed.

 

[Black Republican]

Viola Davis possibly one of the few bright spots of the film?

200+
more like 300 in the end.

Probably 300+ for this.

oh ok, still got a while then

Why is this a shock? Looks great!
