The trailers did nothing for me, felt forced (adding humor to a dark tone looking movie) so not surprised.

I don't know how anyone keeps rating Avengers that high, the movie is garbage after the first viewing.
Says the one that compared the shittiest Nolan Batman to 99% of Marvel's output.

Yeah Spiderman 3 was so bad it was hilarious at parts. DKR was just as dour as it was poorly made.
The main problem is that it was made by Telltale.
Absoloutely no Marvel film has topped the quality of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, that's for damn sure. And I say that as a die-hard Marvel fan.
Nolan's films felt like actual films, with scope and soul and some kind of artistic sensibility. Marvel's films are just colorful popcorn entertainment mostly featuring shoe-horned fan-service and light-hearted banter. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that, but I think it's misguided to claim any of Marvel's output throughout the last ten years has been particularly outstanding, as fun as those movies might have been.

The game is fantastic and played fine on my PS4 so i assume it's a broken mess on PC.Not a good day for WB, is it?
Really disappointing to hear Leto is only in the movie for like 10 minutes. That is kind of a waste. Should have just saved him for the solo Batman movie or waited for Suicide Squad 2 where he could actually be the main villain with 30+ minutes of screen time. Without a good and significant Joker this universe will struggle. Especially since there are no plans for Man of Steel 2. Leto and Affleck better go big with the solo film.
Gonna see this either way tho. Critics butchered BvS but I still enjoyed like 80% of it. Only thing I disliked about it was Eisenberg and Martha.

That's what's hilarious right now
what's even more hilarious is the fact a reviewer (or a few) said that the fight scene between will and ben was a highlight of the movie
2 actors people were against being in this universe to begin with

The world's greatest detective just hates PCs.Not a good day for WB, is it?
Everyone was complaining about Jared Leto's Joker, turns out he was worse than people expected.
yeah I think I like Iron Man 3 more than most people. definitely an 8/10, just like tdkr.
I'll never understand gaf's hatred for dark knight rises. never ever ever. at this point i'd kill for another DC movie of dkr quality.
Spirit in the Sky? Yowza.
"It's OK, guys; they only used it for the trailer to Guardians of the Galaxy! We can get away with this!"

You forgot to add The Killing Joke.
They should just cancel the DCCU and focus on Batman, it's all they seem to be trying with anyway so it wouldn't be much of a change.

But it was a lot of dumb fun if you are a fan of 80s turtles.
This may end up being well-liked by an audience as well despite the critical scores, but my expectations are way tempered. I hate pacing/editing issues, and it sounds like those rear their ugly head again in Squad.

Arrow's Suicide Squad died for nothing.

That's because Batman Begins, and Dark Knight are crime dramas, and if you took any comic element out of it, would still stand as crime dramas. Really good ones.
Marvel films are straight up CB films. With no trying to make it something it's not. If you took comic book elements out of ironman it wouldn't work as film. Those are the distinct differences IMHO from Nolan compared to marvel.
Threequel curse
Even books can't escape it. It's also part of the reason why I was so disappointed with AoU. Damn it, that was supposed to be the strongest entry.

You have to just blame DC and whoever signs off on scripts . I'm not an avid comic book reader but I'm well aware there's libraries worth of DC stories to be told , ones like Frank Millers The Dark Knight, that DC could easily adapt into live action faithfully and it be badass . Yet over the course of three films so far they go the route of writing these bland and incoherent scripts involving established characters who have already had extremely well received stories . Why the refuse to just copy and paste these established stories from prior writers in their comic lines is beyond me . DC is making it harder on themselves than it needs to be .
It has 38%.

From the sound of it, it's probably better the Joker has a limited screentime.
Less for Affleck to fix in the Batman solo...

Why are people fighting about Thor and Nolan movies in a Suicide Squad thread?
Anyway, disappointing reviews. I like the trailers. Might just wait for this to hit streaming/redbox.

This is all true. But then again, I don't believe any film that's come out of Marvel Studios has yet to top Spiderman 2 either, which was a film that unashamedly embraced it's comic book roots heart and soul. Again, that felt like a film that, although a superhero film, had a voice and a soul that these Marvel tentpole franchises otherwise completely lack as individual films.
Again, this comes from someone who's going to be first in line to see Doctor Strange this November.

Huh? Should Guardians and the Galaxy not be allowed to use it because it's in Apollo 13 and Contact?
Basically this.

Anyone remember how many reviews BvS had before we got a consensus? I could've sworn it was around 50 or so.
And how dare I disagree with it! :O

But TftB was so good.
How dare I dare your daring!
i don't understand how there's a superman in supergirl now, though
yet there can't be a suicide squad in arrow?
Same here, I really liked that movie(TDKR) and another one of those would be better than anything that has been released since 2013 and onward.
And I liked Iron Man 3.

The best part of these DC shenanigans is that we get more Thor 2: The Dark World poll options
