If I recall correctly, you oriinally gave it a B+ when you thought it was a niche movie. Then, angered by its massive success, you declared it worse than Batman and Robin. The Excel Saga is the most interesting part of the DCU so far.

This is one of the worst films I have ever seen. No plot, no character depth or development, zero motivation for anything, key plot rely on beyond absurd character actions, the stuff with his Mother at the end is just cringe worthy, nothing is earned, god awful villain, no tension, beyond forced relationships. The ending montage showing John C Reilly celebrating with his family is the cringe worthiest of a dozen cringe worthy moments. He's has like 2 scenes and nobody cares about him whatsoever. Rewatching for the first time since release. Wtf were critics thinking? The movie is downright awful, and I love popcorn blockbusters. I am stupider for having watched this. |

Because you are a moron if you can't see why it is at least a decent film. |

No doubt about it. |

Because it's actually a good movie and you're now trying to rationalize how Suicide Squad could get such negative reviews without having seen it (though everyone knows you'll "love it")? On a side note, it is funny how Warners has shamelessly copied Marvel/Disney's strategy with the soundtrack. |

Sucker For Pain (with Logic, Ty Dolla $ign & X Ambassadors) Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa & Imagine Dragons 3. Heathens twenty one pilots 4. Standing In the Rain Action Bronson, Mark Ronson & Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys 5. Gangsta Kehlani 6. Know Better Kevin Gates 7. You Don't Own Me (feat. G-Eazy) Grace 8. Without Me Eminem 9. Wreak Havoc Skylar Grey 10. Medieval Warfare Grimes 11. Bohemian Rhapsody Panic! At the Disco 12. Slippin' Into Darkness War 13. Fortunate Son Creedence Clearwater Revival 14. I Started a Joke (feat. Becky Hanson) ConfidentialMX doesn't seem similar to: 1. Hooked on a Feeling Blue Swede 2. Go All the Way Raspberries 3. Spirit in the Sky Norman Greenbaum 4. Moonage Daydream David Bowie 5. Fooled Around and Fell In Love Elvin Bishop 6. I'm Not In Love 10cc 7. I Want You Back Jackson 5 8. Come and Get Your Love Redbone 9. Cherry Bomb The Runaways 10. Escape (The Piña Colada Song) Rupert Holmes 11. O-O-H Child The Five Stairsteps 12. Ain't No Mountain High Enough Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell Like... at all. |

Did I say they were shamelessly copying the song choices? I perhaps should've been more clear, but I meant the idea of the soundtrack as a mixtape. |

A soundtrack filled with original music? Those are few and far between. Reserved for Snyder films, Nolan films, etc... |
