I'm feeling better about only having it on top 2 weeks

Posted by: TwoMisfits (a.k.a del_SCA_TwoMisfits) on Aug 02, 10:20 in response to second gary's post IIRC, in the #1 Movie Prediction contest, the big dispute...

I see a BvS type run for this...very big opening and very short legs...it seems those reshoots didn't help (or if they did, this movie was as bad as BvS to start with)...

I wish someone would take DC heroes/villains away from Warner Bros and let Marvel/Disney make a movie with them...it's REALLY not hard to come up with a great story in the hero/villian tone that fans would love.  

Hubby still thinks he wants tickets, but now he's gonna read reviews...we may wait for the discount Tuesday and some more direct friend reviews (I was all set for Thursday night tickets, but I think I'm gonna make him pass on those)...

Embargo has dropped, SUICIDE SQUAD reviews are popping up. Variety is mixed, saying it's still pretty much stuck in BVS land notfabio Aug 02, 09:08

THR is outright negative notfabio Aug 02, 09:09

Reviews are looking slightly better than BVS in general.. {nm} notfabio Aug 02, 09:17

Drew McWeeny likes it, gives it a B+ ! Peterlee Aug 02, 09:20

Faraci: A mess that is saved by awesome actors. Antibody Aug 02, 10:44

RT Critic Page updating as we speak budice Aug 02, 09:21

Metacritic page for Squad budice Aug 02, 09:33

Yikes 31% as of now {nm} Mala-Droi Aug 02, 09:31

35% out of 20. {nm} Antibody Aug 02, 09:38

This is discouraging. Oh well, already bought my tickets. {nm} RollingThunder Aug 02, 09:34

RT 38% -- MC 48 .... MoS / BvS all over again. {nm} Filmstardust Aug 02, 09:56

IMDB user rating is reverse GHST3 Antibody Aug 02, 10:05

BvS had horrible reviews, got 27% on Rotten Tomatoes, and opened to $166m {nm} tomcat90 Aug 02, 10:10

Will people get burned twice by the same universe, or did they learn their lesson after last time? {nm} shadowking Aug 02, 10:15

Twice? Three time. The Killing Joke burned a good portion of the fan base just recently. {nm} medv4380 Aug 02, 14:39

Dang Variety... "Suicide Squad" ends up feeling more like the exec producers gonzo effects-saturated "Sucker Punch." {nm} Dorfman Aug 02, 10:11

IIRC, in the #1 Movie Prediction contest, the big dispute amongst the players is how many weeks SUICD remains at #1. {nm} second gary Aug 02, 10:13

This one weird link has cured me from caring what critics say, ever again... MrZero Aug 02, 10:25

If the reviews were positive, this was going to be a slam-dunk in Opening Weekend numbers. Now it's anyone's game. ~$120M isn't crazy. {nm} chosenone2oo5 Aug 02, 11:12

I'll go out on a limb here and say that I think this one is review-proof for the OW. WAY too many people looking forward to it in key... Willroast Aug 02, 12:44

I think a lot of them were looking forward to it on the contingency that it's good--and there's a lot of time between now and Thurs. night. chosenone2oo5 Aug 02, 14:25
