Forreal tho, when was the last time a CBM was about to release and a few 'not very good' or 'bad' rumours popped up and the movie turned out to be great?

Can't remember any negative buzz about Civil War or Deadpool.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

No one needs to have "connections" to know this will be hot garbage. It's a David Ayer movie.

Yes he's horrible. Fury, End of Watch, Training Day, Harsh Times. Hot Trash.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

Training Day is still one of the best films ever.

The battle scenes in Fury were amazing. The script not so much.

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

But isn't Superman supposed to be smiling and happy with this life in that? That would never work.

Superman is pretty miserable throughout that story and is incredibly pissed off during the climactic fight. Snyder could make it work.But I think Alan Moore has perfected his spells against DC after The Killing Joke fiasco so who knows.

 

[True Savior]

Training Day is a Fuqua movie.

Another trash director though.

 

[BronsonLee]

Fury felt like Attack on Titan in which they just throw all this fucked up shit at you and then there's zero payoff or joy at all

 

[Houndi101]

Are people mixing up Fuqua and Ayer on purpose?

 

[Blader]

You crazy. Fury was good.
And dude made end of watch and training day.

He only wrote Training Day, which I think is fine but not exactly gaga over. I didn't see End of Watch because it looked really obnoxious but I did hear good things about it from people who thought the same.

They were a "negative" needle in the haystack for both those films. But it got drowned out by the more popular feedback.

 

[broncobuster]

Ayer wrote Training Day. Fuqua directed. Add to that Ayer's earlier films were cut from the same cloth, it bring confusion.

On his films directed, Sabotage is the one I'd call bad.

 

[MisterHero]

lol whoops that typo

if Snyder brought FTMWHE on-screen, Supes' son would get brutally mutilated by a building during Krypton's implosion or something

Spoilers

He beats the ever living shit out of Mongul

What a dick. A superdick.

 

[strafer]

End of Watch is better than Training Day though.

 

[HotHamBoy]

Well, I guess I stand corrected about the reshoots.

Still, it's a DC comics movie that's trying to be edgy and stars Will Smith. It seems tailor-made to move merch at Hot Topic.

So, yeah. Not even a little hope.

End of Watch is a good movie. There's some great chemistry between the two leads.

Why doesn't WB seem to have the confidence in its movies like Marvel did with Civil War.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't Marvel have screening for press a month before CW released? Why doesn't WB do the same for its movies?

There was some but buried under all the positive buzz.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

He wrote it and wrote this. It's relevant.

 

[Broken Joystick]

How come non of y'all never mention Steeet Kings?

Spoiler

probably because it's entirely forgettable

omg was that the one where Chris Evans gets shot in the neck and Keanu Reeves is a total douche

Yes he's horrible. Fury, End of Watch, Harsh Times. Hot Trash.

And your forgot Street Kings and Sabotage.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

With Keanu, yeah? I remember that being ok. Some cool scenes. I might be confusing it with Dark Blue which Ayer also wrote the screenplay for.

This young slacker dude that skateboards in my neighborhood and knows my son works at Hot Topic and has seen all related merchandise and said it's really good. His favorite are a pair of Deadshot boxers with a bullseye on the crotch area. Keep in mind this is all hearsay.

 

[kswiston]

Ayer was also a writer on S.W.A.T. and The Fast and the Furious.

The year that The Hurt Locker won best picture, the Academy had a co-star introduce each acting nomination and explain why said actor/actress was so great. Everybody was introduced by costars from their previous critically acclaimed films, except for Jeremy Renner. He had Colin Farrell come out and talk about how fun it was to shoot S.W.A.T. because they couldn't find anything better for Renner.

NOBODY CARES

Listen, guys, hot tip: apparently WB sent out like a legion of guys 2-3 days ago and they totally cut Harley out of the movie. LITERALLYcut, they went in and took apart the film reels with scissors and stuck that shit back together with off-brand Scotch tape. The movie is now only 65 minutes long.

You heard it here first. No hearsay, I got slapped by one of them right in the face.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Yeah. It was decent.

I haven't seen an Ayer movie that I would say is genuinely bad. He likes playing in the same sandbox a lot, but he still hasn't made a stinker...yet.

But how short were her shorts???

That movie was unintentionally hilarious. Keanu should never try playing anything but a stoic hitman or a stoned Messiah figure.

 

[kswiston]

Based on reviews for a lot of them this year, they don't do that because they want people to go to them.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I have consistently confused david ayer with Antoine Fuqua basically every day of my life.

I remember that for Colin joking (?) about spooning with Renner on set. Also, at the time I thought Renner was the guy from Idle Hands.

 

[bananafactory]

Wow

This thread went places

So how about those early impressions

 

[More_Badass]

Fury felt like Attack on Titan in which they just throw all this fucked up shit at you and then there's zero payoff or joy at all

If you were expecting joy from Fury, you were watching the wrong movie

 

[Staf]

Wow

There's no consensus yet but there's a lot of comparisons being made to Son of the Mask. Could go either way.

 

[BronsonLee]

I went in with zero expectations

I left looking like a trauma victim

 

[strafer]

the dinner scene in Fury is amazing

 

[More_Badass]

I went in with zero expectations

I left looking like a trauma victim

I'd say the movie was pretty effective then

 

[ShemhazaiX]

Wow

So how about those early impressions

It's both the best movie ever and not very good. But we all knew this already because they only give you a GAF account if you know movie industry insiders.

 

[kswiston]

but there's a lot of comparisons being made to Son of the Mask.

I still can't believe someone decided it was a good idea to spend $85M on that.

Also, I should probably look up Fury on Netflix if it is there.

 

[jelly]

I thought Ayer films were decent except Sabotage which looked like a Tony Scott film but was ten times worse..

 

[Poodlestrike]

Wow

This thread went places

So how about those early impressions

8 people died in press screenings. Their cause of death remains unexplained; doctors are left entirely baffled. Toughcop McCrimebuster can't crack the case, until his captain calls in that psychic octopus that predicts World Cup results and shit. Together, they are... OCTOCOP.

Premiering this fall on NBC.

It was a WWII movie, Brondson

WWII, Lee

It was a movie about world war part 2, LeeBronson

y u think joy

 

[Poodlestrike]

I don't know if we're watching the same NBC.

OctoCop is a misunderstood masterpiece of serialized storytelling you shut your mouth.

 

[Ross61]

I just heard from comedian Chris Rock that this is the greatest DC movie yet.

(No one will get this reference.....)

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

What you're saying is... Suicide Squad committed some kind of...suicide?

Is Suicide Squad suicide screwed?

Is Suicide Squad career suicide?

 

[Poodlestrike]

Is it that Chris Rock is just Earth-2 Will Smith?
