I mean, they all ain't bad, but they all ain't too good or memorable.
They are just kinda there. They are fine.
GotG was an exception, because he was middle of the road generic villain on purpose.

His score was abit weird. He is way more negative during the whole review. Dont think he tried to defend it. But trying to make sense of the movie. Like everyone did. He really didnt like the movie at all.
You for real? I'm legit shook.
Expected him to eat the entire film up lol.
Gotta watch the vid after work.
LOL!

FOR THE FANZZZ!
Maybe because it's not as good as civil war?
Why does this seem so difficult for you to fathom?
I'll tell you what'll happen
Batman Batman Batman Batman for fucking ever cause that's all WB/DC believes in.

I almost expected Angry Joe to go "Just kidding!" lol.
Earlier this thread I said that I found BvS really entertaining. Now that I watched it a second time (at home, the Ultimate Cut) I found it to be a real slog. I think I looked more at my tablet than the TV... Damn, that first impression in theatres really didn't hold up and that's kinda sad
I'm sure I'll like Suicide Squad the first time too, but more importantly it has to hold up after that first viewing and be fun to watch
Angryjoe's review kinda got my hopes up again too

The question is, will Batfleck beat Batman and Robin.
They absolutely do, if only because their agents/agencies expect them to, and because it can heavily influence the type of work they will be able to get after that project. Especially for the younger actors.
When an actor says they don't pay attention to reviews, it's code for 'yeah, the reviews weren't great'.
Nope it'll never top it.
Knew this movie was gonna be bad after hearing Bohemian Rhapsody in the trailer.
I wonder how involved Zack Snyder was for this movie...
Good on the cusp of being great is the perfect description of MCU movies. They're good movies but too flawed to be anything better. I think Avengers is the only one I'd say is actually overrated by critics. To this day, my favourite superhero movie series is still TDK trilogy.

good with gravy
I just Rewatched thor 2 yesterday. The movie has issues, but it's not a mess from a plot, editing, tone, story standpoint. It's a bit generic and forgettable but it's not a disaster.
The DC movies have fundamental basic movie flaws.

don't kid yourself they care a lot and why wouldn't they, if i released something and it gets panned that's never a good feeling. of course most would rather take a big check for a terrible superhero movie over a flop that's a critical darling.
2018 looks promising. Also, I don't see Cyborg happening at all. They might cancel that or replace it with another movie.
nice to see that the UI designer of Playstation Battle Royale got some work.
Not very. He would've been too deeply involved in BvS at the same time.

Holy fuck this was the worst film I can remember seeing in the last few years and I remember seeing Jupiter Ascending.
Comments like this tell me that people didn't read silver age comics. Letos joker was based on the old school gangster version of joker before the "dark knight" modern take on batman. I just saw the movie and I thought that this issue with Leto was the fact that he wasn't meanceing enough. In the dark knight one of the first scenes where you see the joker is when he kills all of his minions just for fun after he robs a bank. Leto never had moments where you felt uneasy when he was around. Overall I thought the movie had its ups and downs. I thought Harley had many strong points (her personality was on point, her craziness) and her lows (wtf with the dream of a normal life win the joker) I feel like I need to see it again to tell how good it was
Not being a huge comic nerd at all, wouldn't the Harley thing
I could be wrong since most of my accumulated Batman mythos comes from TAS, with a bit more of osmosis through the years.
be sort of possible as a subconscious bridge at the therapist her keeps getting more and more pushed down while the psychotic Harley gets a complete hold? But still, what I gather is that she becomes completely fascinated with the Joker's pure anarchism, wanting to take part of this world, but at the same time she's still always looking for her approval. Handled well I guess it could be "eh" instead of gag worthy, but the idea of the Joker not completely manipulating her is the crux of the matter for me, not only cause he cares for her but because he wants to be normal wtf.

Oh yeah Leto was exactly what most pegged him as when that try-hard damaged fascade was first revealed in photos.
Garbage.
Garbage.

This was what I was wondering. I don't fucking like Leto at all, never have, because he's super try-hard in everything he does. It seemed to me like this was going to be more Leto doing a Joker impression than actually playing the character. After Ledger, I'm willing to wait and see what happens, but just knowing how Leto is, I was fairly apprehensive about what he'd do with it.
Oh well, still going to see it Saturday, and I'll probably enjoy myself. I don't ask for much from films as long as I'm entertained for a couple hours.

Guardians is middle of the road shit. But Suicide Squad makes it look like Spider-Man 2.
First Iron Man has 94%.
As high as Dark Knight, lol.
you know a DC-related thing sucks when even greg miller can't pretend it's good
Only people claim it as gold standard are usually the ones building up the strawman to give justification to tear it down. Most people I know just say it was a fun, enjoyable film with a likeable cast. That doesn't make it a gold standard of cape films, it just makes it...an enjoyable film with a likeable cast of characters.
I agree with you, but the Internet loved that movie
IGN put it as the best movie of the MCU, and a bunch of critics (and fans) said something similar

I'll never understand the love for IM1 (or IM2).
That movie fell off a cliff the second Tony got out of Afghanistan.
They're talking about the average rating, not the fresh/rotten percentage. They both have a 94 percent RT rating, but the actual average score on Iron Man is 7.7, almost a full point lower than TDK's 8.6.
It's funny and charming and has RDJ carving out of the all-time iconic performances in the genre.
I'm finding it hard to believe this is worse than JA.
No way, Guardians of the Galaxy is easily top 3 superhero movies of all time for me and I've seen nearly every single superhero movie. I love Guardians of the Galaxy
It's not even top 5 superhero movie of all time.
I think the love for the first Iron Man is a time and place kind of thing. at that time it was a really great interpretation of a comic book character that you didn't really get all that much of back then. plus rdj was great as tony stark and is still one of the better casting choices for a superhero movie.
Iron Man 2 was bad

That's disappointing.
Should've let the character rest even longer after Ledger tbh.

Needless to say, I'm in the minority on a LOT of that, but I'm influenced by comics more so than any animated series (which I've never watched), which is an anomaly apparently.

I really liked Watchmen. I don't think I'd put it in my top 5, but I enjoyed it.
Ass-Cending 26%, Suicide Squad 27%..soo its getting there.
