The suicide squad proves that James Gunn only has one idea and one idea only. It’s basically a rated R guardians of the galaxy down to the Shark basically being Groot. It’s very dull and not even that funny. I appreciated the gore though. But man you can feel Will Smith’s absence in this so hard E: seems like this movie was tailor made to win over MCU fans because of how goofy and colorful it is or whatever. The same praise this movie is getting and how it’s finally “a good DC” movie is the same poo poo that was said about Shazam. Guess people forgot about shazam The REAL Goobusters fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Aug 6, 2021 |

Blood Boils posted:Edit: ppl forget about Shazam because it's very forgetable! Been saying this. Margot Robbie is wasted on this movie. It is absolutely wild. They just had no idea what to do with her here. I like Idris Elba and Cena here but everyone else just felt boring. The needle drops in this movie are also just kind of confusing and feels obligated. I felt like I was watching a video on YouTube of a video game cutscenes without gameplay to see a story. I don’t know man it’s not for me but obviously people are loving this. Which is fine, but this is definitely my off ramp from DC I think. Not nearly as good as the first suicide squad or birds of prey imo

The more I think about this movie and the more posts I read, I’ve come to the conclusion that this movie is just so convoluted, maybe more so than the original

Looks like this movie is flopping hard and everyone's mostly pointing to no bankable movie stars https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottmendelson/2021/08/07/the-suicide-squad-box-office-bomb-idris-elba-will-smith-dc-films/?sh=3170b3af177d

I'm gonna wait for the streaming numbers to come out to see if it flopped at home. Here in Texas people are still going to the theater a bunch. E: for example In the Heights also flopped hard on streaming

stev posted:I thought the fights were mostly great but I agree the green screening was iffy to say the least. Some of the shots of the bus were particularly awful - when you could see they were just standing in a metal tube composited against the street. Yeah some of the fights were neat, but 1 or 2 cool fights doesn’t make a movie. I’ll put on a legit martial arts movie if I want that. Here there’s just so much marvel that it detracts. The back story is cool and all, then we get to present time and it’s simu + awkwafina comedy banter hour. WHAT EVEN WAS THEIR RELATIONSHIP??? The whole thing with the sister completely fell flat, I get what they were going for, but it just felt like a little too much extra. Annoyed by the whole thing honestly. By the time you get to the big cgi battle at the end it’s like yep here’s another big field cgi battle.

Bring back intermissions for real. I’m always getting up and pausing the movie at home. I remember watching hateful 8 in 70MM and that had an intermission and it was great! Having a break is a good thing!

Mordiceius posted:Yeah, the intermission will never come back to American cinemas. That would reduce how many showings they could have in a day. (Which is dumb because it would also dramatically increase how much concessions people would buy.) That’s what’s so frustrating about it! Like cmon that’s just money being left on the table!

tsob posted:Almost everything ever said about the film centers around how it subverts things, so I'm willing to take it on faith that it does. Maybe everyone is wrong, but if they are then I don't care enough to find out. I have no opinion on the film itself, since I haven't seen it; I probably wasn't going to enjoy it though because I generally don't like any of the Star Wars films. So I'd already decided not to bother with the rest of the trilogy before The Last Jedi actually came out based on The Force Awakens. Or maybe it was less of a conscious decision, and more of an subconscious one. I mean you made the right choice deciding to skip on the rest of the sequel trilogy that’s for sure, but this is more for the Star Wars thread really. As for comic book movies. I’m interested to see what Disney/Feige even do. Looks like Dr Strange 2 is gonna end up being the best mcu box office of the year with Thor 4 having lower day 1 numbers. Black panther 2 is gonna be an interesting case since the Boseman passed. On a marketing level it’s also interesting since the last movie had a whole rear end compilation album from Kendrick Lamar. I just can’t see it even touching the previous movie’s box office but who knows.

ImpAtom posted:That isn't remotely true. TLJ's biggest subversion is going "No, actually, you can be important without being part of a super special bloodline and it is entirely possible and reasonable for someone to become great without their grandfather being Palpatine" which is of course why they ran that back as fast as they could in ROS to make sure everyone knew bloodline purity was the real important thing. It sucked bro

ImpAtom posted:Nah. It's much better than the "actually these same 6 people are the only important people in the entire universe and everything revolves exclusively around them." People just didn't like it because they'd built up Luke Skywalker as a perfect heroic figure who never made mistakes. (Well that or they were upset about the the old EU where... Luke Skywalker hosed up training Jedis and his Nephew turned into an evil sith lord while the Empire returned and eventually the New Republic crumbled but it's different because they were 10 when they started reading that.) It was a boring movie OP. Just watched it this week too. Your comment about Luke is interesting considering he did do a lot of mistakes all the time in the OT. You ever watch empire strikes back? The universe didn’t really revolve just these characters, the prequels for example had a lot of characters! But it really sounds like you just don’t like the cast or didn’t want them in a new movie. These movies did the old cast very dirty. They killed Han, they killed Luke. Before they could even get them together for literally 1 scene. It’s a huge disservice! One of the biggest reasons why people hate these movies is because they basically reduced and made unimportant the whole OT adventure. Basically it was all for nothing. Han is a loser who lost the Millenium falcon. Leia is a loser who hosed up the republic somehow and is leading a new batch of rebels…again. Everything Luke did was basically for nothing. At least that’s my perspective but this’ll be my last post about Star Wars here and we can keep going in the Star Wars thread

Bob Iger spoke at my sister’s graduation last year and he mentioned Black Panther was his biggest accomplishment. He gave lip service to how inclusive it was. But really he probably meant it made 1 billion at the box office

Black panther’s cast was able to carry some of its ps2 level VFX (underground wakanda/train fight sequence at the end). Like man they’ve been able to get away with some of that stuff for so long.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:They explicitly say that people should have the option. Their Netflix movie is releasing in theaters first and they said they shot it with the theater in mind, but that most movies can be enjoyed perfectly fine without all the up-charges and logistics of a theater and the movie industry is the only major industry in America that forces people into that situation. And the official reasoning for it is that they are doing it to movie watchers "for their own good" because they don't understand the "sacredness" of the theater/business model. Nobody is hurt (except for the theater monopolies and studios) by letting people have options. What I’m saying is who wants to watch a Russo brothers movie at home.
