P.s. Oddly matches up with the score track list too

Just got done seeing this. I actually really enjoyed it. It certainly had its flaws, and they were big ones, but overall the movie itself was entertaining. My brother turned to me during the end credits and said he didn't like it and I found myself getting defensive, so that means deep down it has redeeming qualities.
Ill start of with what was terrible. As far as the plot/characters went
And the good:
Overall, decent movie going experience where I was entertained for 2/3 of the acts. Most levity in a DC movie to date, and in a lot of spots felt like I was watching a Marvel film. Third act was terrible from pretty much every angle. 6.9/10. I can't bring myself to give it a 7.

I was mostly joking but there are people who are calling this worse than BVS and there are people who are calling this better than BVS. Further subcategories include 1. people who hated BVS hated SS even more and 2. people who hated BVS liked SS and 3. people who liked BVS hated SS and 4. people who liked BVS liked SS even more... look I've got my eyes crossed and I haven't even included MoS in the equation.RIFA wrote:Not sure. I mean, with BvS you have people like me giving it almost a 9 and people that gave it a 4. There are people that actually hate the entire thing or love the entire thing while with SS, even those that hate the movie still have goods to say about several scenes at least.
With Suicide Squad I think we all sit somewhere in the middle... Nobody really gives it a 3 or a 4 but nobody really gives it an 8 or a 9 either. I think it's far more balanced in that sense.
IMO, DCEU is a mess.
Big plot hole I haven't seen mentioned anywhere yet

SS already made it's money back minus cost of advertising. But that's not far off either.

Such a bitter-sweet feelings. Next year should be much, much better.The $135.1M opening ofWarner Bros.’ Suicide Squad pushed the Burbank, CA-based studio past the $1B mark for the 16th year in a row at the domestic B.O. Warner Bros. has eclipsed that mark now 17 out of the last 18 years, which is an industry record.

Not really. Cinemas take a decent chunk of the box office as well. Reportedly, the total budget with advertising is 250 million.akv1984 wrote:The international opening was pretty good too.antovolk wrote:$135.1M DOM OW

General rule is production budget plus 50-60 million in marketing plus 60 in distribution, with foreign profit being less meaningful than domestic. Hasn't made it's money back yet but it's definitely doing well, unfortunately.
