I liked Dark Of The Moon a lot especially compared to the 2nd one
Went back to Shia + Car
Really fucking awesome action sequences
Chicago getting R E K T
Prime then just murdering everyone

No need to compare Suicide Squad to a classic like The Room.

I'm on mobile like 90% of the time anyway so I don't even see avatars much, lol. It'll be okay.
Yeah, they have about 20 years worth of Suicide Squad stories to pick from.....that was all they had to do....hell, even adapt a New 52 Suicide Squad story and it would still be heads and shoulders above this movie.
Helloooooooo Nightwing!And Shia LaBeouf.

For Real. Much like how the DCEU works if you see it as an origin story for Ultraman and Injustice, I feel that the Bayverse works if you see it as an origin story for Nemesis Prime.

I will never, ever, ever stop laughing at the scene where he just fucking blasts Fraser while he's threatening Marky Mark
Just nukes the fucker without a second thought, and this was the dude who was all PROTECT ALL HUMANS NO MATTER THE COST

I witnessed Neville's half face live. I laugh every time I see a picture of it.

The Killing Joke should have been a slam dunk. One to one adaptation are not always a sure hit.
Killer Queen

That would be a pretty badass twist.
Too bad it'll never happen.

I personally feel I have improved it with the googly eyes
"He still does heroic things" I feel is something that shouldn't have to be said...
I mean, every superhero is EXPECTED to do heroic things. The fact we have to say "well, he STILL does heroic things" on and off, at times, when he feels like it, between the scowly brooding, terrible parental talks, and awkward bathtub romps... it's not exactly a sterling commendation for his heroic capabilities.
Even Deadpool has heroic moments...
And yet BvS failed trying to adapt Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns and The Death of Superman, and couldn't do them even a fraction of the justice they deserved. Snyder even directly lifted some scenes straight from the page... only he failed to capture the emotion behind it. Just the style.
Since we like comparisons, metacritic is at 42/100, with BvS at 44/100.
On a sidenote, I hope this won't harm Ayer's prospect of landing a next project, as I really liked Fury and absolutely love End of Watch.
Batman Beyond. Let it be a pass the torch film (like Indy 4!), with Afleck as a father figure. Produced by Bay, script by Snyder, directed by Emmerich. That should pass the current WB-executive board just fine.

Twas a bet of a high stakes seeing as it was looking like 99% my loss haha
You know what tho, we can do it until Dr. Strange instead
He's the same robot who executed Sentinel Nimoy then beat a robot dinosaur into submission and rode him into battle.
GOAT villain.
After seeing Pain & Gain and 13 Hours, yeah I agree with you. The action would be alot more chaotic and insane while still having the characters shit talking to each other like a villain would.

My least favourite part of SS' marketing is how often they have to tell us they're the bad guys
like at least five times every trailer goddamit

THIS FILM IS GOING TO BE AS EDGY AS IT CAN POSSIBLY BE WITHIN THE CONFINES OF A PG-13 RATING AND WHILE TRYING REALLY HARD TO NOT ACTUALLY OFFEND ANYONE. WHO'S READY TO BE MILDLY ENTERTAINED?!
PS pls see it opening weekend or Leto will send you one of his used douche bottles.

Astounding F's, 0's and 1's, much like BvS.
A big problem is that they were mashing two massive stories (actually more than that) into one movie.
They did the Death of Superman arc in the second movie of their continuation, and will resurrect him almost immediately.
Compare that to how well Marvel has built up some rocks and a glove and the gulf between the two is evident.

I think the core problem of the film was them giving Ayer waay too much of a budget. This should've gotten Deadpool's budget and they could've maybe made a better, more interesting film. Harley was written so badly you couldn't even see if Margot was doing a great job. She was definitely trying though and she clearly read up.

I need to see the movie but I don't understand how the budget was so high, based on what I've seen so far.
I guess Will Smith is expensive?
If marvel movies didnt got the reception they got, the Thanos invasion would occur way sooner... like now lol. But they didnt need to rush things because Marvel right now have the grace of the critic and the public.
Hell, they could do a Thunderbolts movie and probably could do way way better in the critics than Suicide Squad.
I mentally checked out during the farmhouse visit....it felt like something I would watch on Lifetime channel.
BvS and Ultron are on the same level to me.

So the average score went down to 4.8, lower than BvsS 4.9. I didn't see this coming. Of course, I kinda liked BvsS despite its issues, so I'm still going to check this out.

I tried to come up with a MCU Thunserbolts rooster but it's literally impossible since they killed of majority of the villains...
Yet if some of these people wasn't dead it would ace:
-Abomination
-Where's my Birdman
-Zemo
-I'm the Mandar-
-Yellowjacket
Man this movie would somehow work!
They have Ross and Zemo, they can introduce the rest of the "villains" in the movie if they need to.
I wonder if he regrets giving himself that scar for Fury.And Shia LaBeouf.

Yea but sadly it still won't have Whiplash.

Rushed production likely means alot of waste. And if the story about how drastically the movie changed from its original cut before reshoots is true, then that likely balloons the budget as they rush to finished effects, etc before release. After all, it was rushed because it HAD to meet the date.
