DC Comics "Suicide Squad" Cast Confirmed

[RobBlake]

I agree, i feel there's a major hard on for marvel.

3rded. GotG was fantastic, but a lot of the rave reviews for Marvel are blowing sunshine where it normally don't.

They're consistently good films, but nothing great about most of them.

Again, it seems to be en vogue to trash DC and blow Marvel a bit too much.

WB screwed the pooch tinkering with SS as a reaction to their screwing with BvS. If the UC is the original cut, there’s a completely different narrative and way less pressure on the studio.

I'd like to see the original 2 cuts of SS, but I won't hold my breath on them being available to watch anytime soon.

I think the positive response and sales for the BVS Ultimate Edition will make hard for WB not to put out an Director's Cut. Tough to pass up on that extra revenue.

I enjoy all of them...save for some of the X-Men Movies and the FF4 movies, which were just awful.

F4 movies are atrocities.

Shows you the bias, I read somewhere that a critic felt SS was worse than the latest version of F4. That F4 was literally the worse movie i've ever seen.

Agreed. That last FF movie (which ironically opened on this same weekend a year ago) was complete garbage. It also had a ton of bad editing decisions

The Marvel movies are (your words) consistently good.
The DC movies have sucked ass.

How you get from that to "but a lot of the rave reviews for Marvel are blowing sunshine where it normally don't" is probably fascinating, but the plain truth is that the Marvel movies are good and the DC movies aren't.

"Good" is a relative term. Most hover in the B range, and I specifically mentioned consistent because Marvel hasn't turned out many duds so they get that credit, but good is not great. Let's not pretend Marvel Studios is mirroring a run like Miramax did in the 90s.

Age of Ultron was a big disappointment for me, because I dig on Ultron and the movie version was lame. Spader voicing him was the only awesome thing they did with the character. Fox's version of Quicksilver makes Marvel's look atrocious.

As for DC, I think MoS is a good flick, BvS UC I liked a lot. The Nolan Trilogy is fantastic.

So, yes, Marvel is being cut more slack for their consistency, and WB is not doing DC any favors meddling. Disney wisely kept more hands off and it has been rewarded.

I was eager to see SS, so knowing what went on and the mixed reviews to put it nicely is disappointing. Hopefully Strange delivers in November.

Hulk got only 61%, Spider-man 3 got only 63%, Thor: The Dark World got only 66%, and The Incredible Hulk got only 67%, so it's not as if reviewers have been just blowing Marvel about every movie. Every one of those movies is better than MOS and BvS, so it makes sense that they'd be rated higher, but they were at the bottom of "fresh" ratings, which is certainly not blowing sunshine.

Still, MOS got 55% at RT, which is in the sort of range you'd expect from a movie that was a failure, but not a terrible failure, which is really about the most generous anyone can rate that film without absolutely selling their soul. BVS was a steaming pile of shit, and got a better rating (27%) than it deserved.

And the Nolan trilogy isn't really the subject here, but they got the kind of reviews they deserved.

There is no way that Spiderman 3 is better than MOS or BVS. Spiderman 3 was so ****ing bad they had to reboot the franchise.

Let's hope Geoff Johns helps the ship going forward...I'm betting I'll enjoy suicide squad but enough with tinkering and UC's that are the 'real' movie. Release the directors vision

If spidey 3 is better than BvS in your opinion, we can't have this conversation.

UE smokes both Hulk films, both Thor films, the last two Iron Man films, Spidey 3, the rebooted Spidey and the first Avengers film.

Disney pays more to the critics than Warners.
