 Re: Predict Suicide Squad's RT Score
I think it's because DC has yet to admit that this superhero stuff is all pretty ridiculous. They still make "serious superhero" films, and that puts critics in a frame of mind where they compare it to serious movies. Marvel accepts that this is all fun and silly, and so they get graded better because critics view them in a "fun entertainment" way.

 Re: Predict Suicide Squad's RT Score
This could really go anywhere. Though most things I hear say it's at least better than BvS. So 30%+ should be safe, lol.

 Re: Predict Suicide Squad's RT Score
Oh dear.
Perhaps there really is something to the theory that DC is getting treated much more harshly by critics than Marvel films?
BvS remains a good, even great at times film for the first 2/3 of the running time. Perhaps Suicide Squad will also be good despite what critics say. I'll stick with DC films which try to be more ambitious than glorified Saturday morning cartoons (Marvel).

 Re: Predict Suicide Squad's RT Score
Wonder Woman should be the first DC movie to benefit from goodwill since most critics enjoyed the character in Batman v Superman. It is also the first major female-led superhero film by a female director, which will scratch an itch for a lot of people and engender a positive vibe.

 Re: Predict Suicide Squad's RT Score
I don't know if it's DC vs Marvel, but the prototype for well reviewed superhero films seems to be going light and irreverent. I liked both Fantastic Four and Batman vs Superman so I have some hopes for Suicide Squad

Counter theory: the movies are bad and you just have terrible taste. Even Nolans Batmans got treated far more harsher than MCU. What. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES has the same average rating as THE AVENGERS, which is the highest-rated Marvel film. THE DARK KNIGHT thumps it.

 Re: Predict Suicide Squad's RT Score
Despite coming out in a different marketplace, with lots of critics taking BATMAN & ROBIN-releated shots, BATMAN BEGINS has a 7.7 average, which puts it higher than CIVIL WAR.
C'mon, guys. It's not "critical bias." Nolan's films got a fair shake. DC films rate lower right now because they aren't very good.

 Re: Predict Suicide Squad's RT Score
Magnus wrote: if MCU had films as good as BB or TDKR, they would be rated much higher than they were. They do have films as good as BB and TDKR, or at least in the same league. BATMAN BEGINS' first half is significantly better than its second. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES has huge structural issues and a nonsensical, silly villain plot.

 Re: Predict Suicide Squad's RT Score
Dammit I was really hoping this would at least get a score in the 50's, but it looks like it won't even get out of the 30's. Very disappointing indeed.

 Re: Predict Suicide Squad's RT Score
Assuming audiences are split on SUICIDE SQUAD, and I heard a few months ago WONDER WOMAN's in bad shape...
Man, JUSTICE LEAGUE's opening is going to be fascinating.

 Re: Predict Suicide Squad's RT Score
Wonder Woman has to be at least on par with MOS or JL will open lower than BvS.

Critics will hate it. So I win this thread! But unfortunately I don't win where it mattered (in the RT Picker Game). Anyway, next up; my $65m prediction.
