Snyder was a producer on Suiciee Squad, but I'm glad Ayer is out too, for some reason I thought he was directing this.

DC finally figured it out, only took the complete destruction of their two most famous characters. 😛
Excited to go see this.

It's interesting in how I can never judge a DC movie by it's trailers and pre-hype. It's pretty much impossible for me to know if it's something I'm actually interested in since I can never be sure if they slipped back to the start of the DCEU or if it's a competent movie.
So this one turned out great - nice! I'm gonna watch it next week, I love the cast and it's great to see them succeed!
Next stop are the Batman movies. They still have to show that they can nail them again.

Well I'll be damned.
I think DC has strung together enough solid to great films for me to give them the benefit of the doubt now.

Glad this is turning out good, DC has really stepped up their game and i'm excited to watch this on HBO max (I'm assuming it will be there only exclusively)
See, I like a good chunk of the Marble movies, but I feel it goes to show some damage it's kind of done by being a homogenized brand to the point where people look to the name at the top of the logo first versus people, like, looking to judge each movie on it's own merit. I get that brand familiarity is powerful and sometimes useful, but, tons of different people make these movies, y'know? If the MCU gets like 3 critically bad movies, that doesn't undo everything else they've accomplished.
I've been thinking about something for awhile and thought about making it a thread, but I'm too shy (never made one), so I'll ask here: Does anyone think Marvel movies are going to become less popular this decade? DC has been hitting it out of the park, and I feel like the general public may start to prefer this approach to comic book movies.
Marvel should start making R-Rated films.

I know Aquaman isn't for everyone but please tell me you've seen Shazam
Color me impressed, I'll definitely need to see this. I'm glad that DC is finally getting into the swing of things regarding their movies.
But yeah, these women are killing it. Almost like they should've been getting these sorts of opportunities sooner than later
So happy this is good, DC has so many good female characters besides Harley. This needed to do well to help them be confident in taking risks with more obscure properties. Avatar bets on this making more than JL?
Excited for it per usual. But damn, some reviewers type a lot of words that just drone on and on when they could easily summarize those thoughts in half the time. And ending your review with this...yikes....
As a final act of desperation, "Birds of Prey" decides, about three-quarters in, that it's a feminist film. Oh! Sorry! Didn't realize! So now we have to like it. Except it's not. Not even close. And we don't
I know, I'm just messing around... Really anything over an 80 for this film is a huge win.
After Shazam I was very willing to believe they figured it out, and quite glad they did. My hype for The Batman is gonna be through the roof.
Very very unlikely those will be bad films. Those folks will keep taking Ls.
The reviews make it seem like it's fun but nothing special. Which is fine cause most superhero films are nothing special imo. I go for fun.
My spoiler tag a few posts above quoted the final section of that review. Not familiar with the reviewer, and can't say I'll read anything of his after reading that massacre. Ew.This is why it dropped so much over the last few minutes
I didn't really like Robbie's Quinn in Suicide Squad but these reviews seem good, maybe going to see this in the theatre rather than waiting.
Aren't you just setting yourself up for disappointment then?
He sounds like this movie personally offended every fiber of his being. Imagine getting that upset over a movie.

Damn this dude hates this movie more than I do.
You're correct, it's probably not a good idea to compare the two like that.
Well that's some bullshit. That dude's review was added to Metacritic and dropped it down to a 59.
I'd hold off on that. Shazam didn't do so hot even though it was pretty well received, and a lot of these movies are pretty much disconnected from each other.
The marketing had me concerned at first, but I'm so glad to see this movie doing well from a critical standpoint.
Kind of embarrassing how Margot Robbie has more respect for the DC Comics source material than Zack Snyder does.

If you wanted any proof that Metacritic is bullshit, there it is. All it takes is one review. It's not like Metacritic ever checks for integrity.
I don't see why that's a bad thing. If we can get movies like Shazam and Joker in the same year, I'm very excited for DC's future.
