lol @BigBadAndy i share your sentiments regarding the avatar movie. its just so damn funny to see someone articulate it and it explain whats in my mind about it.
as for suicide squad, idk from what i seen in the trailers its trying too hard. the joker looks like, well, a joke. ok, so lets give him alot of tattoos, grills, and bam! hes edgy and crazy. nevermind the fact he looks like trumpās boy. 2nd, we all know that sex sells and ms robbie is selling it very damn well. i also heard SPOILERS ALERT
that she and joker actually share a romance where theyāre in love. alright, already they got the wrong idea there. the joker and harley quinn were never in love with eachother, its a 1 way street which is from harley. joker treats her like crap, he beats her, mentally abuses her and physically as well (i think when she actually did her job of taking down a heroā¦he threw her out a window for the trouble). people have a misconception about the 2 and i see it may have passed to the suicide squad movie.
as for the rotten tomatoes thing, get real. fan boys need to get over it that their movie is gonna get wrecked by critics. what should matter to them is not some snobbish criticās opinion, its his job to critique films. what should matter is if they alone enjoyed it.

I donāt know if it was just a coincidence or not, but the plot of first episode of the Hanna Barbera Smurfs cartoon was Gargamel made Smurfette to infiltrate the Smurfs so he couldā¦well his intentions were never clear and changed from episode to episodeā¦but as she lives among them she starts to like them and ultimately decides to help them beat Gargamel & then later Papa Smurf uses his magic to make her a full-fledged smurf. So yeah, Avatar pretty much hits all the same basic plot points.

Iām going to put here my thoughts about Suicide squad.
SPOILER ALERT, IāM GOING TO SPOIL ALL THE MOVIE, DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE GOING TO SEE IT.
As a comic lover, I always want to watch any film about super heroes. Even when I do not expect anything from it, like this case.
[Spoiler]
Suicide Squad fails both as film and as ācreatingā some short of universe for DC. The films does NOTHING for the DC universe. You could skip this film and watch BatmanVsSuperman->Justice league, and you will not be missing ANYTHING
Why does the goverment need the squad? I mean, they are already ALL in jail, and why? They are recruited for fighting against meta humans. Guess what, there are already good meta humans(Flash, Batman, Aquaman, all of them well know for Amanda Waller, who has documents and even knows the secret identity of Batman!). So they create an squadā¦ and one of the members goes rogue and start a mess? So they are responsable of all this! And itās so convenient either Batman, Flash or Wonder Woman doesnāt appear to save the day. The suicide squad has a secret member with omnipresent powers: The script Convenience(TSC from now). Thanks to TSC, no real hero comes to rescue, 3 helicopters(3 fucking helicopters!!) crash and nobody dies! All the squad survives the first crash, Joker survives the second, and Amanda the third. And in one piece everybody!
Also Enchantres and Incubus die in a very comical way. You create a meta human squad(from which Harley hardly offers anything that a seal couldnāt, besides being expendable, and the same goes for Captian Boomerang or Slipknot, who CLEARLY is presented as āexpendable guy who we are going to kill ASAP to demostrate the bombs are realā) to deal against meta humansā¦ and you kill both of themā¦ with a bombā¦ WTF??? so you are telling me that you could launch a missile against that station, wipe it out, kill the bad guys, and avoid risking soldiers or using this group of freaks? Yeah, forget about that, TSC itās here.
There is to much wrong in this film, and the worst part itās the Joker. Seriously, THIS IS NOT THE JOKER. He barely laughs, he is a gang leader covered in gold jewels and tatoos incomodating people, AND NOTHING MORE. No jokes, no madness, only a perturbed guy who looks like a clown. And obsessed with Harley. He spends all the film trying to free her. He moves earth and heavens to do it. Not a mention of Batman, his nemesis, his obsession. They share an scene and nothing more. Harley SHOULD be obsessed with Joker, but not Joker with Harley. She is a tools for him, NOTHING MORE. Should he free her? Of course, but NOT AT ANY PRICE. He has no memorable lines, I could quote 4-5 lines of each previous Joker easily. This one has NOTHING.
Iām very dissappointed with this movie, because I donāt feel the comicās magic anywhere. I feel this is a film made without passion, with two different styles(dark and funny) trying to co-exist, but failing.
When I see films like Deadpool or Guardians of the Galaxy, I see passion, love, I see the magic of the comic ALIVE. When I see BvsS or Suicide Squad I only see a movie which pretends to take my money just ābecauseā.

Saw the movie yesterday. It was ok but you can skip it and not miss out on anything special. My main complaint is that they clearly focused on a group of characters while leaving others practically in the dust and even from within the whole Suicide Squad itself. Not gonna say who but you will be able to tell when you see it.
The thing that I did like is that they acknowledged that the old Harley Quinn and Joker costumes exist. Just a little thing that I liked.

You know the answer to that.
For the record, Iām okay with mindless action too as long as it doesnāt take itself too seriously and pretend to be art.

Thatās why I like some of the later Mission Impossible movies. They know what theyāre doing, and they have fun with it. Itās basically just a fun vehicle to put on elaborate heist scenes.
This is how I feel too.
A lot of movies based on 80ās properties do bad with critics but are mostly a lot of fun to watch. I feel critics sometimes have a hard time seperating fun from high artā¦
This is exactly how I felt as I was watching the movie. That and the rapidly edited, dark fight scenes. Kinda felt like watching Legends of Tomorrow on a larger scale.
Completely. Judge it based on whether it accomplished what it was trying to, not whether it is Citizen Kane.
I loved Avatar!!! Not understanding what all the hate is about on that one. Its just like any other Hollywood movie. There really arenāt meany with a great story underneath it all. You cant really watch any Holly wood block buster and walk away saying " You know, thatās on par with Tolkiens Lord of the Rings or A song of Ice and Fire!"
I wouldnt say any of the Marvel or DC movies are written any better.
I havenāt seen SSquadā¦ but I think the hole Super hero movie thing is about to get over populated real quickā¦just like 80s Glam Metal.
I did like Civil War though.
The only thing I liked about Titanic was the second half when the ship started to sink. I also like the scores James Horner made for the film.
Avatar I likedā¦yeah the story is same old same old, but the graphics were pretty impressive. Amazing how technology came such a long way.
Havenāt seen SS yet. That said I do have to SMH at some people saying Panic! At the Disco originally wrote Bohemian Rhapsodyā¦sigh.
