argh, There will be another DC or Marvel movie in a few weeks no doubt and we can all start talking about why that one also got a low score.

It does seem critics are out to get DC movies.

the DC movies have been mediocre though. Man of Steel was too serious and flowed poorly, B v S an absolute mess, and the word is that Suicide Squad starts well and then becomes blah halfway through. I don't think the critics in this case are full of it



Stupid fans, won't come to anything. But Mr Abdullah gets his 15 minutes, so that's something I guess.

I think it will do $50-75M at the US box office first week, but it might have a sharp drop off and poor legs.

I'm undecided about seeing it in theatres myself. If I have a burning desire to go to the movies, and there's nothing on I actually want to see in theatres, then I might go.

It'll have a strong opening (75-100)--even BvS raked in a ton of money despite everyone having been warned. If it turns out to be mediocre though, it won't have the legs it could have had. Bad for DCEU if that happens. Not sure how many awful movies they can churn out before people stop risking their money on an early viewing.

I really wanted this one to be good.



I like DC more serious tone. I mean, Man Of Steel isn`t just a super hero movie, it`s a disaster movie with Superman in it, giving it a " lighter" tone wouldn`t make any sense and would be ridiculous, just like San Andreas and 2012 ridiculous. Loads of people dying has to have some meaning. BvS is also a disaster movie with Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman in it, and I like this approach, it`s more realistic and builds on the legacy the Nolan Batman left. The problem with Suicide Squad is, from what I read, is that the film was dark and gritty, and they reshoot a lot to make it more comedyie. DC found a good formula for their movies that is true to the Comics but also works for Live-Action, Marvel way isn`t the only way.

That's because the only solid movies from DC for the past decade have been Watchmen (imo) and the Dark Knight films. Whereas in the meantime, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has had a bunch of solid films stretching across the genre. You have your space adventure Guardians of the Galaxy, military/espionage Captain America, the overblown Avengers, and some absurd concepts done well like Ant-Man. Even Fox has put out a couple of good movies the past decade using the licenses they won't let go of, including Deadpool and X-Men First Class. And in the larger world of comic adaptations, you have Kick-Ass, Scott Pilgrim, and Kingsmen.



Love and tolerate.

I am kind of burned out on super hero/villan series and movies in general, after the negative reviews I just decided I will watch it sometime later, even the flash is something I have not been watching and I really used to like it, so many superhero themed things... Maybe some people are feeling the same, that will hurt this movie.

I think it might reach a decent number, chart well at the beginning and it all depends on how the word on the street will be, if friends recommend it to family and so forth it might do really well, initial reviews isn't everything.

I don't mind serious. I liked Man of Steel. The theatrical cut of BvS was terrible though. The Ultimate Cut as decent but nothing to right home about. I liked first two acts alright but the third act was still bad. I've never been excited for Suicide Squad. I like Assault on Arkham and I even liked them on Arrow but despite having separate universes they decided to take Deadshot, Amanda Waller, and the Suicide Squad away from Arrow for this movie. I'll be salty if they ruined Arrow for crappy movie.

I don't know what's going on with DC lately. I used to could count on excellent animated films but quality of those have dipped as well. Ironically I think Assault on Arkham was the last really good animated movie they've put out. DC needs to get over it's Bat-Crutch and start doing a better job of leveraging their other characters. I don't have super hero fatigue but I'm getting annoyed of them wedging Batman into everything.
