THE SUICIDE SQUAD Receives The Same CinemaScore As 2016's SUICIDE SQUAD And BIRDS OF PREY

@Will44482 -

1. Shazam! - 7/10 (a fun and inoffensive romp with more heart than anything that came before)

2. Wonder Woman - 6/10 (inspirational and stands on a solid foundation)

3. Aquaman - 6/10 (best compared to the SW prequels, fun but dumb)

4. Man of Steel - 6/10 (coherent story but very shallow characters and drab. It was a competently made movie but left the viewer hopeless)

5. Wonder Woman '84 - 5/10 (feels like a highlight reel of the first movie mixed with 80s tropes)

6. Birds of Prey - 4/10 (the writers badly combined Deadpool and PotC tropes in a movie that should have had a different title)

7. Batman v. Superman: Ultimate Cut - 3/10 (it clearly wants to be a deep and thought-provoking film, however too much time was spent on developing the dark and poetic tone. So much so that the story fell appart at every important stage of the journey)

8. Zack Snyder's Justice League & Justice League 2/10 (these two films couldn't be more different in their tone but NOTHING in either version worked as the base material never worked from the get-go. With a Marvel-style plot that lacked any of the charming aspects to suspend enough of your disbelief and forgive any of the films mistakes.
While one version is incoherent and bright the other is ripped appart by itself with scenes that linger on so long that you're taken out of any world the film tried to build. Snyder WANTS to do a lot, his fans WANT him to be the inspirational filmmaker he could be. But this movie served neither Snyder nor Whedon to achieve their potential. Both films are terrible and should be moved on from)

9. Suicide Squad: Extended Cut 2/10 (a corporate and heartless product. It feels the studio picked actors and characters in this film based on statistics and let an AI write a basic story that completely overwhelmed the director and editor)

@Will44482 - shazam at 8? really? shazam should be the first,then ZSJL and aquaman

@Will44482 -
1. Matt Reeves Batman
2. Gunn’s SS
3. Fennel’s Zatanna
4. The rest of em

@WruceBayne - yeah. I think we put too much on these weird ways of quantifying opinions, as if it makes a film objectively good or bad. And this is especially faulty since it's people on opening night. You might as well poll which movie had more hype behind it.

@Origame - I get what you’re saying but in my own personal opinion I believe it was a better movie.

@PsychoBatemen - Why? Doesn't it just poll moviegoers?

@Spock0Clock - My thinking exactly haha

@PsychoBatemen - The Suicide Squad is pretty much inline with Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score of :)

@Se4M4NSt4ine - Yeah, I don’t dispute any of that. I’m talking about the resistance fighter not even batting an eye that her entire village that she was fighting to save was just murdered by the people who instantly became her friends. The throwaway line “I’ll accept help from demons to stop them” was to push that under the rug with absolutely no gravity. How do you view her as a passionate rebel when she was oddly callous to what just happened?

How about the president deciding on the spot to marry the only assassin who survived trying to murder him/ end his regime/ do whatever to the Starr-o facility. That was so unbelievably nonsensical, his reasoning that people would like that he married the clown lady simply because the US doesn’t like her. That’s complete fluff to come up with a reason Harley can have a sex scene and then kill the president way earlier in the movie than people expected.

“We need the president to die before this, who can do it?”

“Well Harley’s available at this point in the story”

“Okay, come up with something silly, because Harley is silly.”

Many parts of the movie were really well done, but some were strangely ill-written, James is better than that.

@Se4M4NSt4ine - I disagree, most films feel like they have proper setup and payoffs with their plot lines, major or minor.

A film intentionally inserting “piss takes” as its story telling tactic is not something that appeals to me personally. If it’s not a competent story, don’t put it in your movie. That much should be baseline
