Is Suicide Squad really as bad as the critics say it is? Everything I've read from people who have seen it suggests no. BvS had relatively fair criticisms but at the end of the day, I still don't think it was as terrible as critics said. I agree, I don't want crappy movies either... But I do want to see my favorite comic and superhero characters on the big screen. To be fair, Disney/Marvel has done superb but let's not act as if all of their movies are gold because they aren't. There are a few turds mixed in with the gems make no doubt... It's just crappy that WB/DC are the ones having to learn things the hard way at OUR expense. They still have Wonder Woman coming up in 300 days and if that movie fails to inspire, then the DCEU can be considered a failure as well considering it'll be movie #4. And at that point they'll need to ask: reboot or step away from the comic movie realm altogether? |
Suicide Squad looked terrible by the previews. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of posters on here who will love it. That's their right. They're not wrong by their own standards. I thought BvS was pretty mediocre, particularly the "Oh, your mom is named Martha, too" bit. Marvel absolutely has a few not so stellar films as well. Overall the genre is glutted and these studios are attempting to cash in on this craze before the cash cow runs out of milk. But at least Marvel steps it up with standouts like Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool to mix it up for an audience who is honestly fatigued with seeing the retread of the universes, particularly a DC universe that can't keep continuity with its tent pool characters.
