@webheaded - Forget what the critics say about it, watch it with an open mind and make up your own opinion of it. If you do that and don't like it then fine but i think you'll have an absolute blast with it.

@MrMajestyk - I will definitely be seeing it with an open mind. I've been super excited for it since the first trailer got leaked, not gonna let a RT score stomp on that. Although I'd be lying if I said I wasn't slightly nervous. RT said BvS was bad and in my opinion they ended up being right

@webheaded - I'm not saying the Critics are always wrong but there are certain style of films like SS that will always be reviewed badly on their first review due to the way Critics are watching a film.

One of my absolute favourite Film directors is John Carpenter. Most of his films were absolutely critically hammered on their release like The Thing, Escape from New York and Big Trouble in Little China...trust me these films would be getting 25%-35% type score on RT if it was around back then but in 2016 these films are HUGE CULT FAVOURITES because it was the audience who watched and loved these films that actually re-evaluated them and gave then the proper respect they were due.

There's been a whole host of films that were absolutely trashed by the Critics on their release but years later become stand out films in Cinema history.

A few examples of this are films like John Carpenters The Thing, Fight Club, Predator, The Shining, The Third Man, Psycho, The Night of the Hunter, Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner, The Wizard of Oz, Vertigo, CaddyShack....the list goes on and on.

Some of the greatest films of all time were met very poorly on release and only found their true valuation years after and Suicide Squad will be the same.

SUICIDE SQUAD is this generations FIGHT CLUB.

@MrMajestyk - can you at least write an original thought and quit copy/pasting the same bullshit?

@MrMajestyk - The difference is that these films were still considered masterpieces by some at the time. Yes the majority of critics gave negative reviews or audiences stayed away from the cinema for these but there were some who at the time saw the truth.

The only people who are saying Suicide Squad is a masterpiece are insane people like yourself.

The only similarities between this and Fight Club are that they both feature Leto and neither will get a sequel.

@MrMajestyk - "SUICIDE SQUAD is this generations FIGHT CLUB."

No, no its not. But its a decent movie. But its in no way comparable to Fight Club.

@MrMajestyk - While maybe not QUITE Fight Club, it is definitely better than it is being portrayed. It is JUST as good as Guardians, cause really, its the same movie.

@MrMajestyk - @UltimateCarnage MEN WHAT THE HECK?

I am trully anger, you are really saying that Suicide Squad is a Master Piece?

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?

Suicide Squad is a Blockbuster is a Superhero Movie, is only a movie made to make money.

You cant compare Suicide Squad to the Shining, Apocalupse Now, Vertigo or The Fight Club...

Because that movies had real themes, messages and a great visual storytelling.

Suicide Squad only theme is how this people are trap in their own demons and how they try to overcome them...

You have Dr. June Moone (Rick Flag Girlfriend) who is trap and slaved by Enchantress.

You have Harley Quinn who is trap and slaved by the madness of the Joker and she is seriously brocken.

And then you have the team, who is trapped by Amanda Waller. But in reality they are trapped by their own demons and problems who led them to be criminals and their past is haunting some of the members.

But the only characters in the team who really show this well, are El Diablo and Deathshot who are dying from inside for what they have done. But they really dont do it at the end.

So i could say, at the end, the movie doesnt work, well in this theme, because while Dr. June Moone is saved, Harley Quinn only goes again to the same state she was before.

So at the end, all the movie was for nothing, because Harley Quinn who was in reality fithing his inner problems all along, at the end decides to leave her go and give his own power and control over his life to another person, call the Joker again.

So this movies is far really far from having the same magnitude that movies like Fight Club, The Shining, Apocalypse Now or Vertigo.

Vertigo is a great movie about femininity, masculinity, obsession, control and a funny thing is that in Vertigo all the womans are destined to doom, like this movie tries to show...

Fight Club antisocial themes are clear.

Apocalypse Now shows the reality of war.

And The Shining is a beautiful visual story, that movie has great visual storytelling.

You cant try to compare, Suicide Squad, a movie full of pure pointless action and pure exposition. Who tries to give us this message of how this criminals are trap by their own demons and try to overcome them together.

To that movies i say before, because that movies tell through the story, characters and even the line of action the message or themes of the movie.

While Suicide Squad almost did it, but fail and the noise is too much.

@slickrickdesigns - @xhazardx No, its not.

In Suicide Squad a group of criminals try to overcome their demons.

Harley Quinn is trapped and slaved by the Joker.

Dr. June Moone who is trapped and slaved by Enchantress.

But also the team who is trapped by Amanda Waller.

In reality that are phisical representations of their inner demons.

But at the end, while Dr. Moone is save, Harley Quinn decides to give away all his power and control to his personal problems, in this case metaphorically represented by the Joker.

In Guardians of the Galaxy, Peter Quill have to confront the death of his mother and over come it.

And the movie is about a group of Outsiders, who dont find his place in society:

A Talking Racoon, a Human in a universe of aliens, A Groot, Drax a living machine and off course Gamora a step daughter.

To come together and find his place in society.

While they fight a Terrorist who wants to destroy the Society in revenge for all what have been done to him.

That is the message of Guardians is really two different movies.

MrSunday Movies you sir are awesome... I love your videos. Not as much as Gusto loves some of the other guys around here, of course.

From 1980....I think this movie is doomed....

“The Empire Strikes Back is not a truly terrible movie. It’s a nice movie. It’s not, by any means, as nice as Star Wars. It’s not as fresh and funny and surprising and witty, but it is nice and inoffensive and, in a way that no one associated with it need be ashamed of, it’s also silly. Attending to it is a lot like reading the middle of a comic book. It is amusing in fitful patches but you’re likely to find more beauty, suspense, discipline, craft and art when watching a New York harbor pilot bring the Queen Elizabeth 2 into her Hudson River berth, which is what The Empire Strikes Back most reminds me of. It’s a big, expensive, time-consuming, essentially mechanical operation. The Empire Strikes Back is about as personal as a Christmas card from a bank.”

Suicide Squad will not be the Empire Strikes Back. Lol. Not in this universe.
Skwad
Skwad - 8/5/2016, 7:49 AM
@MattBellissimo - maybe it will be.

The whole point of a movie you can't see being a classic becoming one is that you don't see it coming

@GarthRanzz - I liked the movie but it will not be the ESB of the DCEU come on.

Every negative review of a movie from the past, that was actually great, isn't evidence that SS will turn out like all of those. There's no way to know that will happen.

Let's make a bet then chumps. A year from now, if Suicide Squad's rating has changed, you have to give me a blow job. >:)

If however it stays the same...well...I have to reluctantly allow you to perform fellatio on me. :(

@ComicsBornAndBred - Have you seen it? Best CBM I ever saw. And I am someone who didn't think Batman Begins would ever be topped. It was. Last night in my eyes.
GhostDog
GhostDog - 8/5/2016, 8:01 AM
@GarthRanzz - I saw it and liked it. Had fun with it, but it is immensely flawed and it wasn't pieced together very well.

I like it, but I can understand the LEGITIMATE criticism (not the bs critique).
