Spiderman 3 was so awful

Indeed it was.

I have absolutely nothing against DC. I just don't like most shitty movies. You seem to have no problem with shitty movies, which is fine. To each his own.

I'm not riding Marvel's nuts at all. You can try to spin it that way if you wish, but the underlying reality is that I was noting comparative ratings by the reviewers as correlation to my takes, and you're the one who called Marvel's movies "consistently good". Example using Metacritic, instead of RT: Hulk 54, Spider Man 3 59, The Incredible Hulk 61, Suicide Squad 40 (so far), BvS 44, MOS 55. The only crossover is the weakest of the mentioned Marvels (Hulk) and the strongest of the DCs (MOS), and that's a 1 point difference, which is well within the range of bare success/near miss that I had mentioned.

And the Nolan movies are about as relevant to the re-set DC movies as the Punisher movies are to the MCU, which is why I haven't included them. They (Nolan's Batman movies) were excellent, by the way, but they come before the new era.

Suicide Squad was a good movie. All this hate is laughably sad. It's no genre beating movie, but it was better than Ant Man, iron Man 2+3 , all of thor, and Avengers 2.

BvS is in another league than S3

This kind of comedy is what keeps me coming back to Chiefsplanet.

Saw this yesterday because my oldest wanted to see it. Wouldn't have went otherwise. It was ok. I don't feel robbed paying to see it, but it's not something I'll watch again.

I finally got around to watching it today. I thought it was cringe-worthy. To be fair I don't like anything with Superman in it. I think he's a shitty character. I thought Ben Affleck's Batman was too much of a brick and not enough of a martial artist, and not especially intelligent. I enjoyed the Wonder Woman character in this movie. From this and what I've seen of the trailers I'll probably go see the stand alone WW movie. I'm not really interested in seeing Affleck play an angrier version George Clooney though and Superman still sucks.

I saw Suicide Squad this weekend. It came across as just poorly put together and I think it wasted some good performances by the actors involved. I feel like it didn't do a good job of telling a very weak story. It was OK. The special effects were fun and some of the moments in the film were interesting.

That's exactly how i feel. I knew nothing about Suicide Squad going into the movie and i still feel like i know know next to nothing.

Margot Robbie plays a great Harley Quinn. Will Smith isn't a very good actor. Beyond that, I agree that not much stuck.

That's probably a fair assessment. A few of the characters people are familiar with, but a lot of them aren't. 98% of moviegoers knew nothing about GotG, but they managed to introduce the characters without even getting much into any of their backstories.

Granted, GotG sets a pretty high bar that I doubt the sequel will duplicate, but I'm so tired of every new character spending the first movie doing an origin story. Yes, Pratt's character had a pseudo origins background, but the film really just hit the ground running and didn't handhold throwing you into the entire universe of characters without a bunch of exposition.

Considering that 1 version of the film introduced almost all the characters right out of the gate, and Ayers' version introduced characters on a rolling basis, some even in the final 1/3 of the movie, it just seems like it would be impossible to marry the 2 versions and not end up with a mess.
