In a bit of good news, at least Skwad isn't the worst movie releasing this weekend
I seriously need to know if Kevin Spacey killed a hooker and was being blackmailed or something. Dude didn't need to do this.

Kevin Spacey was in a fucking Call of Duty game
He's all about that paper

He spent 9/10ths of his time on this film sitting in a recording studio halfheartedly delivering lines over footage of a cat doing cat things. It's literally the easiest money you can make in Hollywood.

Spacey shot himself in the foot, dude will never find work again
The only House Of Cards here is his career, and Nine Lives just kicked it over

I can't believe that Kevin Spacey agreed to do this movie.
I wondered if it'd actually be good, but given the nature of the movie it's not surprising to see such low reviews. The local Cineplex is offering extra points for going to see it, but I won't be doing that.
Kevin Spacey normally doesn't sign on for shit.

Saw this at midnight last night & can understand where the reviewers are coming from. It's a really mediocre generic movie that's following a list of things to tick off, that has a DC skin slapped on it. Aesthetically it's good & some of the characters are brought to life pretty well but the directing, story & editing isn't anything special.
If you're not invested into these characters or this universe from other mediums then all you'll see is a poor movie, which I imagine is the case for a lot of critics. To be fair though i'd say it's the most consistent DC movie so far, it doesn't vary from really good to absolutely terrible every 15 minutes. It was just an ok movie throughout the entire thing.

Regardless of personal feelings of quality, Call of Duty is a very well known and popular brand that has had actors like Kiefer Sutherland, Gary Oldman, Keith David, Lance Henrickson, Ed Harris, Michael Keaton, Ice Cube, William Fichtner, Idris Elba and Michael Rooker associated with it
(Sam Worthington was also technically in it but I don't know if I'd call him an "actor"
This is more along the lines of Tim Allen in The Shaggy Dog
Saw this and I don't think it's as bad as 30% on rotten tomatoes. I mean Iron Man 2 is like 72% and that movie is hot garbage ass. Suicide Squad isn't great but it's not terrible. The tone is all over the place and it often feels like competing films.
From a pure logic standpoint I'm still trying to figure out why Harley Quinn would be involved. Dead shot I can see, and Croc will super strength and Diablo obviously. All have powers or insane skills like never missing with a gun. But wtf why is Harley there? She's just a crazy chick with a baseball bat and a perfect butt.

All of those people are losers
30% just means 30% of critics gave it a positive review. The average rating of the film is closer to 5/10.

The difference between Spacey and Allen is that one had been associated with straight garbage long before their dumb talking animal movie while the other is Kevin fuckin' Spacey.

At my last job nobody knew what Star Wars or LotR even was but one mention of The Shaggy Dog and suddenly everyone's best friends! Like as if it were the most watch most beloved movie thats ever existed.
True.
Although, sometimes I think a lot of these top tier actors are just bored as fuck and want to do something. Like Kelsey Grammar in 30 Rock. Bored rich motherfucker who's like, "I'm sick of sitting in my mansion and traveling. I think I'll do some voice work or star in a trash movie that my normal fanbase will more than likely never see."
And then of course, money. I'd have starred in Nine Lives for a nice paycheck. I'd have written Nine Lives for a nice paycheck...
Voice acting also seems like a lot of fun. If I had a modicum of acting talent, I'd have tried to be a voice actor. I do prefer drawing and writing, though. I've always been a behind the scenes kind of guy.
I forgot that Idris Elba was in MW3 so you can shut your darn mouth. ;p

The best thing Idris Elba ever did was help cancel the apocalypse
Man that whole cast in the game was underwhelming and average.
Much like the game itself.
I'm intrigued as to what happened in the scene between Will Smith and Leto that Smith mentioned in an interview a few months back as being one of the best things he's ever done as it wasn't in the film!
Overall I was disappointed in this and it was probably one of my most hyped films of the year. Smith was the stand out with Davis, the rest of the squad I thought were quite weak in performance. I didnt really like Harley that much and those hot pants aint changing my opinion on that. I would have liked to have seen more Leto as I thought he showed potential. Hope he shows up in the stand alone batman film with more screen time

Fuck knows
"So I see you still fight, and you've come here to end the night"
Or something
I didn't list Katee Sackhoff since she was in the game after Spacey and I didn't list John Malkovich, Danny Trejo, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Bruce Campbell or Bill Paxton because they were just in DLC.
What am I doing? I'm not even a huge Call of Duty fan. XD

Something is really wrong with critics if they think the movie is that bad, sheesh. It has flaws, but these reviews would make people think it's utter and complete trash like Starship Troopers 2. There is a lot of great things, and a few oversights. If I were feeling nasty, I'd say it's a 7/10. I'd say a high 8 is more my opinion.

I guess you missed this earlier in the thread:
That's nice, but we've had many people in this thread alone say they thought it was garbage. It's incredible how divisive the film is.

Well, sitting in the theater, movie starts in about 20 minutes, discounting trailers. See you on the other side, GAF!

How dare you
by 'get blasted' I usually mean 'have a couple beers and eat cranberry chicken pitas' but you know, branding
Ghostbusters, which is humorous because it's generally okay but forgettable.

He's in the movie for like 10 minutes, he doesn't fucking matter
What I saw was fine, but clearly not his movie. Would like to see more.
