Up to 38%!

Just pathetic.

Boy, between this and the lukewarm reviews of The Killing Joke, the Batman/DC film universe is taking a shit-kicking this week. I really thought both would receive universal acclaim.

I'll be sure to keep the 60-100% options out of the next poll

How was WB not hired excel by now???

I think for Wonder Woman, the score will be better because of the female aspect.

Back down to 36%. What's worth noting though is that the "Want to See" percentage has dropped from 99% to 98%. That might not mean a hell of a lot in the long run, but I've never seen that percentage drop for a film right before its release. If that's a sign people are getting scared away from the reviews and have learned from BvS, that might be a problem, especially if SS, like BvS, leaves a lot of money on the table.

WB has got to be in panic mode right now though. This whole DC extended universe was supposed to be their main cash cow (and not just in movies, but also merchandise, spin offs, TV content, video games, etc) but audiences don't like any of the films then the whole thing is hanging on by the hype thread, and that may not be enough.

Nothing feels inclusive to me. Each new WB/DC film just feels like last minute decision to make a film, instead it should feel like it's part of a greater and comprehensive plan. Each film has even greater importance than the last to be liked, and that pressure is killing them (not to mention giving critics even greater power) because their marketing department doesn't have the freedom to really sell each movie. They want to lower the risk as much as possible, which means bog standard marketing, and then the movies never stand out. But take the risks and there could be even greater damage. It's a catch-22. I'd still opt for the latter because the rewards are worth it.

The only respite for them is that BvS is selling quite on Blu-Ray/DVD, and I think MOS was the top selling title in 2013 as well.

It wasn't. It was 8th behind Despicable Me 2, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Monsters University, Skyfall, Fast and Furious 6, and Wreck-It Ralph.

Wow. Yeah, I definitely didn't remember that correctly.

Dammit, my optimism got the better of me again.

Hollywood Reporter article on SUICIDE SQUAD's development and reshoots, which confirms that Warner Bros. pushed for a much lighter tone than Ayer intended.

WB needs to let DC Films be. Johns was promoted for a reason.

The thing about the editors.... yeesh.

If that one person that tweeted about the initial version they saw was better was right welp...

It was the highest selling superhero flick of 2013 ahead of Iron Man 3. That is probably what you remember. (Brian always brings it up to defend his stance that MOS is super beloved.)

I remember a tweet a few nomths ago that said SS was a mess and no reshoots can help. everyone dismissed the guy. And he was right!

LOL at every major outlet publicizing that petition to shut down Rotten Tomatoes. Now the petition is nearly at its goal.

I'm all pro-Metacritic, but SS is still bad there.

lol, now there's a change.org petition to get RT shut down because of the bad reviews for SS. #DCFansAreCryBabies

Six posts up. ^

That hashtag's on the money though.

It doesn't matter if it's at its goal or 3000% over it. Who or what is going to shut down RT? It's ludicrous.
