This is truly fucked.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Fantastic Beasts is probably gonna have a good script but it'll be squandered by Yates' dull as fuck direction.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Ow man bummer trailer made it look like a lot of fun.
Will check it out in about 5 months when it comes out at home rental.

Wait what did he say?

You magnificent bastard! @SuicideSquadWB is a beautiful, visionary, fun-ass film! You did @DCComics proud, sir!

 

[Diprosalic]

Why is this a shock? Looks great!

it's also 8 reviews only, 2 are even from the same site.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

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

But 10 minutes? Sheesh..think I'll wait till Saturday morning before I jump in.

 

[MMaRsu]

Haha I always thought this would turn out a shitty movie.

 

[TuXx]

Dammit, this was suppose to be good

 

[Gorillaz]

Despite the failed attempts by that cast to sacrifice their own blood to the DC God's who obviously don't want it

I'm still happy to drop cash a t mobile free voucher, for this

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I wonder what Paul Dini thinks about the movie

 

[BlizzKrut]

Well, still gonna watch it anyways, I'm easy to please though so I'm excited.

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

......im okay with this

 

[Ban Puncher]

At least Warner Bros can eat lunch with Sony Pictures at the Can't Make a Hit losers table.

Hahaha I forgot Yates was directing, yeah you're not getting a good film there.

Still galls me that hack was given HALF of the Potter franchise.

 

[Diprosalic]

funny thing is that they have another Snyder film coming up and one with an actress that has the charisma and acting range of a paper sheet.

yikes, DC is fucked.

 

[vinnygambini]

David Ayer got me like

I wonder what Paul Dini thinks about the movie

If Paul Dini doesn't write the HQ movie, it's a loss and they'll be repeating the same mistake they did with Bvs and this movie: letting big budget hollywood writers/directors interpret characters.

 

[Timu]

This movie is struggling to reach 40% as it's average 35-38 right now!!!

 

[Nesotenso]

I haven't read any of the reviews and don't have time to do so this afternoon. Would appreciate if someone could summarize the main criticisms.

Kevin Smith likes any piece of shit. And heck, I like his movies, but his tastes in movies really is all over the place.

 

[3N16MA]

Dammit, this was suppose to be good

Have you seen it? You can really judge the quality unless you have seen it for yourself.

I will judge it for myself when I see it.

 

[Xion385]

These reviews won't affect the Opening Box Office Weekend though. Not sure if those Free T-Mobile tickets would be enough to affect it. The second weekend will be interesting though.

Kevin Smith enjoy the movie. That's the biggest red flag

 

[Fury451]

Well as of right now my prediction was way off. I thought the lowest it would hit was 54.

My damn optimism coming through again.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Hahaha I forgot Yates was directing, yeah you're not getting a good film there.

Still galls me that hack was given HALF of the Potter franchise.

Goblet of Fire wasn't very good but at least it was fun compared to Yates' output.

"I'm here to suck the charm out of all that you love.

And make everything seem mundane."

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Fantastic Beasts is probably gonna have a good script but it'll be squandered by Yates' dull as fuck direction.

Sounds like a perfect recipe for WB to jump start the Cursed Child Part 1 and 2 adaptation. With the same plot as the play.

Suicide Squad Review Thread - This Is Gonna Hurt You Really...Really...Bad!

 

[J_Viper]

From Faraci

It’s a really good performance, and seeing Smith against Ben Affleck’s Batman was probably the most exhilarating moment in the DC movieverse to date

I might have to still watch it for this.

Or maybe I'll just wait for the Ultimate Edition

 

[Gorillaz]

funny thing is that they have another Snyder film coming up and one with an actress that has the charisma and acting range of a paper sheet.

yikes, DC is fucked.

"More or More or More or Less?"

Damn Faraci goes in on the Joker:

Damn.

Irish Times review

Irish Times likes Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), but doesn't seem too fond of Leto's Joker.

lol I love how he keeps pointing out that Leto is old.

Hasnt BvS reached 50 midway?

-Boring

-No good characters except for Harley
-Middling Joker
-Tries and fails to be hip and edgy

Richard Roeper from the Chicago Sun Times

http://chicago.suntimes.com/entertainment/suicide-squad-a-wasted-opportunity-at-nearly-every-turn/

— After months of online hype that threatened to bring the internet to its knees, Jared Leto’s Joker (while somewhat creepy and menacing) doesn’t come close to scraping the surface of the memorably spine-chilling work done by Heath Ledger in “The Dark Knight.”

— The backstories involving the families of Will Smith’s Deadshot and Jay Hernandez’ El Diablo are so hokey, so over-the-top corny, you’re more likely to roll your eyes than to fight back the tears.

— In scene after scene after SCENE, writer/director David Ayer leans on well-worn pop/rock tunes to augment the clichéd shots of the Suicide Squad walking in tandem, the Suicide Squad creating mayhem, the Suicide Squad, um, trying on wardrobe options. “Spirit in the Sky” by Norman Greenbaum? AGAIN?

— The stunning and talented, Margot Robbie, riding a wave of success from “The Wolf of Wall Street” to the cover of Vanity Fair, hits all the wrong notes as the bat-wielding and supposedly bat-bleep crazy Harley Quinn. I think Robbie is going for some kind of tough-chick New-YAWK accent as she delivers her one-liners in a self-pleased manner and then pauses for the deadpan reaction from her fellow cast members and (Ayer must have been hoping) laughs from the audience. Whatever she’s doing, it’s a wildly uneven performance, and it’s just not good. Very little about this film is good.

— When you’ve got model-turned-actress Cara Delevingne as one of your chief villains, and she’s writhing and wriggling about in embarrassing fashion, spouting lines that make Dothraki sound like Shakespeare, you’re not just dipping your toes into camp territory, you’re getting soaked.

This movie is struggling to reach 40% as it's average 35-38 right now!!!

IIRC BvS peaked at 42% at around 50 reviews, it was all downhill after that, if Suicide Squad doesn't reach get at least 43% at 50 reviews, there's a high possibility this scores lower than BvS

If Paul Dini doesn't write the HQ movie, it's a loss and they'll be repeating the same mistake they did with Bvs and this movie: letting big budget hollywood writers/directors interpret characters.

I don't think Dini is interested in writing movies, which is a shame.

[FunkyPajamas]

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.

fixed

Don't make me start quoting Bane, CIA Guy, "Robin", pointing out the issues with the editing, etc.

You guys are delusional if you think DKR is a good movie. It's Spider-Man 3 and BTTF 3 all over again.

KevinSmith ‏@ThatKevinSmith 11h11 hours ago

You magnificent bastard! @SuicideSquadWB is a beautiful, visionary, fun-ass film! You did @DCComics proud, sir!

As people have said before me, Kevin Smith will literally like anything that a director will allow him to go see early. If someone allowed that man to go see Catwoman back in the day, he'd probably claim it was "Thrilling, energetic...Halle Berry literally BECOMES Catwoman! You did @DCComics proud, Ma'm!"

Let's not forget the man wrote rave reviews of the Star Wars prequels either.

 

[3N16MA]

Please do not disrespect David Yates. The man only makes blockbusters.
