@ColliderNews: Fresh off 'Suicide Squad's success, WB is now (finally) working on 'Man of Steel 2'. http://bit.ly/2aPt9rU

Huge news...I'm excited for sequel

I can't believe some the reviews. "Worse than Fantastic Four, worse than Green Lantern".

Really?

Are those coming from critics or movie goers? If their from the critics, I can see it as an attempt to get shots in on the comic book genre. I'm sure they're thinking they didn't go to school to become a reviewer on an endless stream of comic book movies, lol.

And yes, those are ridiculous hyperbolic statements. Literally no movies are worse than FF or Green Lantern.

In no particular order, movies that are worse than FF and Green Lantern:

Gigli
Batman & Robin
Superman 4
Leonard Part 6
Battlefield Earth
Glitter
Jack & Jill
Robot Monster
Spider-Man 3
Matrix Revolutions
Iron Eagle III

I don't care about a sequel to Man of Steel. Bring on The Justice League.


They pretty much had the sequel to Man of Steel with B v S because they used the seen from MoS with Supes battling General Zod and cutting buildings in half with laser eyes. Then they used General Zod's body for the story to create Doomsday. Now it would be dumb to have a sequel to Man of Steel with Man of Steel 2. What was the point of Dawn of Justice?

Make a freaking Justice League vs Suicide Squad and Boom Ch Ka.

Send WB your resume or check out their LinkedIn page.

That movie Blended was bad.

I loved man of steel and its a movie I still get pissed when I hear criticisms of. It's honestly the 2nd or 3rd best comic book movie of the past decade to me.

Wow. Kill yourself.

I know its a very unpopular opinion, but I enjoy MoS more than most comic book movies. Most Marvel movies are just too quipy and too light hearted for my taste. They're good, but I never feel as if they are really in danger or that the villain has any real motive. If in a battle all the main characters are just exchanging jokes back and forth, I don't feel as if the world is really in danger.

In Man of Steel, it looked like the world was actually in danger. Zod had a actual motive that unlike most other comic movies, we could feel sympathetic for. That's big to me. Zod wasn't just some random thing trying to destroy the world for...reasons. He had a real life grounded reason for what he was doing.

That scene is just amazing to me.

Personally, MoS falls in a battle with The Winter Soldier or Batman Begins for #2 after The Dark Knight.

DC Comics &quot;Suicide Squad&quot; Cast Confirmed
 

I was just ****ing with you. Whatever works for you.

Personally, that's not something that's high up on my list. We've basically been force fed "arggghhh world domination!" from super villains since birth so it's standard to me.

Shit, the Nolan Bat trilogy is the best collection of superhero movies we've ever seen and those villains' reasonings were absolute shit. The Joker literally just did shit for the hell of it and, honestly, Ra's and Bane weren't much more profound.

I don't think MoS is amazing, but it gets a lot more shit than it deserves.

It took me several partial viewings to finally "get it" but in the end, I thought it was a cool movie and much better than several Marvel films.

I'm curious as to what story they adapt for MoS 2, which has begun pre-production.

Have they confirmed Snyder is doing it?

I haven't seen any confirmation but David Ayers threw his hat in the ring last week as a potential director.

I have a feeling that will depend on the performance of SS, which is dropping rapidly at the box office.

SS went from $65 million on Thursday to $13 million on Monday.

Yikes.

Given the totals for opening weekend, I think WB is taking it as a win in spite of the reviews. Won't be surprised if receipts drop off. Back to school has been creeping further and further into August across the country, and that cuts into a chunk of their audience suddenly a lot busier.

Maybe, but they're still $40 million under budget and that doesn't include the $100 million spent on marketing.

I'll be shocked if this doesn't go down as a loser on their books, which wouldn't fare well for Ayers.

I thought it was a good movie. Sure it had its issues but all these multiple superheroes movies are going to be hard to get them tight. Nature of the beast.

I didnt know anything about this movie. I didn't read the comic books as a kid. I didn't lurk in here.

It was a fun popcorn movie. I liked the acting of the blonde and the joker. The special forces guy Flag was a big meh. It did seem like the movie was on point the first half but lost its way in the 2nd half.

I loved the Batman cameos.

So, what year marker are we going by, since Batman Begins predates the past decade?

If you're going from, say, since 2000 on, I'd take every single movie from The Dark Knight Trilogy (I personally loved TDKR more than TDK, so I'll get some shit for it), Spider-Man 1 and 2, and Winter Soldier before I'd even consider MoS.

It's a good movie, but I don't view it as a gem like the other ones that I listed. Mostly because I think Superman is a boring character due to him pretty much being invincible to everything aside from Kryptonite or Doomsday.

Just gonna put this question out there, behind TDK trilogy, which I think would be almost undisputed as the best super hero film trilogy since 2000, if not of all time since there really aren't many superhero movies with 3+ movies aside before then aside from Superman and the Batman films of the 80's/90's that I can think of off the top of my head, what superhero movie trilogy since 2000 would be second?

The only qualifiers I can think of outside of TDK are Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, and Captain America.

The Amazing Spider-Man and Fantastic Four series don't count since they were rebooted before the third films were released in theaters.

IDMB says they have announce that there is going to be a Harley Quinn movie, is it going to be made? Seems to me she was the best thing in this movie.

The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight Rises, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2, Blade, Blade 2, Guardians of the Galaxy, Cap: The Winter Soldier, Cap: Civil War, Iron Man, X Men 2, X Men: First Class, X Men: Days of Future Past.

There are some good superhero flicks out there since 1999-ish.

How does everyone feel about Burton's original Batman? I'm not a big fan of that one. I love Batman Forever, though.

No, I'm not joking.

Batman forever soundtrack got my Seal of approval

Went and saw this last night and thought it was terrible. The army guy can't act worth a shit. He was horrible in Robocop too. Will Smith is a good actor but the plot and villains just kinda sucked. Harley Quinn was OK but she still wasn't all that great. I actually thought the Joker was horrible too. There was just no flow to the movie.

Saw it last night.

Batman cameos and the final act's battle were the most engaging parts. The pacing was terrible, and the villains blah...



Like BvS, there looked like a kernel of a good movie in it, but they wasted that shot.

Captain America.

Once the Infinity War comes out, Avenger will be the best super hero series of all time.

It is rumored that 63 characters will be making some sort of appearance in the 2 films and someone very close to the project has hinted that one of those is.......Galactus.

Meaning that they may have worked something out with Fox regarding the FF characters.....

Oh please yes!

It'd be interesting to see how Marvel would portray Galactus.

Rise of the Silver Surfer wasn't good but I actually didn't hate the giant-storm-cloud Galactus

Don't you **** with us. Don't you dare be ****ing with us.


Honestly, to do Infinity Wars correctly, they're going to need Galactus, Silver Surfer and the Fantastic Four (they really could use the X-Men as well, but we know that's not happening). I really hope they did get the rights, because in the right hands those characters would be great on screen, especially for something as big as Infinity War.

**** that. They shit all over Galactus and Surfer and deserve to be ridiculed for it. So, so terrible. Now, if they were trying to portray Gah-Lak-Tus, they might have gotten pretty close without intending to. But piss on them anyway.

I would LOVE to see the Russo brothers have Galactus and Surfer in their movies, along with any number of other celestial powered characters.

I don't think they did, honestly.

How else could they have done Galactus? He's a giant weird looking douche with a pink, preposterous costume in the comics.

I am so ready.

From Deadline:

Don’t underestimate the box office traction of Warner Bros. Suicide Squad. In its fifth day at the box office, the David Ayer DC villain movie took in $14.27M, up 9% from Monday. Of course, that’s a record Tuesday in August, and as we’ve seen all along, Suicide Squad keeps whomping Disney/Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy records. That film previously owned the Tuesday high for August with $11.9M. But here’s what Suicide Squad‘s till yesterday outflanks when it comes to Tuesday highs: Captain America: Civil War‘s at $13.76M, Avengers: Age of Ultron‘s $13.1M and Batman v. Superman‘s $12.7M Tuesday.

For the reviews and an August release, WB should be happy.

well it looks like someone liked the movie outside of this threads participants.

I'd think you're probably right about Captain America being the second best series, though I think Spider-Man 1 and 2 are on par with Captain America and Winter Soldier(and they are my preference).

I'd think they'd be able to get away with including Galactus without his saying his name, similar to what they did with Quicksilver and Scarletwitch.

Maybe they could just refer to him as the World Eater or something lame like that. It's not like Galactus is a really cool name anyway.

But where does Galactus fit in with Thanos?

And what part will Loki play in all this?

Easter Egg for Suicide Squad:

Just saw Suicide Squad today in 3D.

1. 3D is not worth it, not much to it.
2. Will Smith playing the same part he always seems to play
3. I went into the movie expecting to hate Margo Robbie as Harley Quinn and was pleasantly surprised. The interaction between Harley and Deadshot one of the better parts of the movie.
4. The witch and the brother were really cool looking but "empty" characters.
5. This movie would have REALLY benefited from having added character development from previous movies like Avengers did from Ironman,Thor etc. There was just too many character to develop in a single movie so none of them really did.
6. Crazy bad guys weren't very crazy or bad
7. Killer Croc was cool looking and mildly racist
8. captain boomerang was just dumb
9. special effect were pretty dam good
10. DC is trying to be Marvel but it's not looking good so far

Overall the movie was decent but left me feeling like half of it had been left on cutting room floor.

[QUOTE=Rams Fan;12361940]Easter Egg for Suicide Squad:

[SPOILER]Supposedly on Harley Quinn's rap sheet...

It says Accomplice

Your point 5 is well taken. The reverse-Avengers approach didn't work so well since most of these characters were marginal in most people's minds -- that said I don't think any of them outside of Joker and Harley Quinn could sustain a movie. That tells you something.

And I'm firmly in the "it wasn't bad" camp who thinks most of the critics missed the point.

At the beginning it does this stupidly awkward thing to introduce the characters where they splat text up on the screen like a page in a comic book. It has a few comments about each one of them. HQ's says




or something like that.

My biggest issue was 5 especially for the folks like me who never heard of any of these characters on the SS. They should have went Marvels direction and released movies prior to Suicide Squad that could individually build each character then brought it together Avengers style.

Agree with this... Much of this movie's time was spent trying to introduce people to characters, which made the rest of the movie quick and blah.

The movie left me severely disappointed.

Marg Robbie makes a good Harley Quinn though, will say that.

Movie wasn't bad ass. I was left just kind of going "that's it?"

Didn't leto say they cut enough scenes that they could make a joker movie

Yea, but they could have inserted the other character into movies as sort a 'side quest' situation.

ala Batman movie with Joker/Harley as main storyline but then also have killer croc.

Deadshot could be worked into a movie in a supporting role (Flash Movie?)

Boomerang should be dropped
Flag is irrelevant and will always be a JAG

Suicide Squad wasn't bad, it just wasn't long enough to be character driven.

did i say Killer Croc looked awesome? :D

Need more of him

I didn't hear about that but it makes sense.

Leto was very good imo
Robbie was surprisingly good

They definitely need a Batman/Joke/Harley movie.

Yes, I posted the article link earlier in the thread. There's hours of film they shot of him in the can already apparently.

how she killed Robin?

Deal me in.:clap:

Thanos the greatest villain? Ha

Beach Tribe will reign holy hell down on you for mocking Thanos.

And that meme is hilarious

You wanted them to make individual movies for the characters? ROFL I'm sure a Captain Boomerang movie would have made a ton of money.

Excellent points all around. I finally got around to seeing this and would add the following thoughts:

A) There is this incessant need to have the main characters (in any superhero movie) fight an insanely powerful enemy with superpowers. You don't need that. You can have them perform an incredibly difficult task that requires them to work together or die, without having them go up against enemies with powers that far exceed their own. Other than El Diablo, none of them have superpowers. And that's fine. (In the same vein, can we come up with something other than the giant beam of light shooting into the sky? It's in every movie now.)

B) Why was Joker in this movie? It's obvious they edited the living hell out of the Joker scenes and made him completely unnecessary to the story.

C) There were a lot of cringe worthy moments in this. Will Smith's daughter showing up? That actually caused a ripple of laughter in the theater. That's not good. Barely mentioning a guy that "can climb anything" and then killing him right away? It was a waste of the scant few seconds they even spent on it.

D) Stop trying to have heartfelt moments and make us like these guys. We don't need to think they're wonderful people to watch the movie. The scene in the bar with El Diablo explaining his back story... everyone went soft and had a hug-it-out moment. Harley Quinn should have started laughing her ass off right after he told his story. What was with the kumbaya garbage?

Because having characters we can sympathize with brings us closer to them and immerses us in the story even if they are "bad guys". That's why that bar scene was in there and why it was one of the best scenes in the movie

And sounds like it was all flash backs, probably COULD be mixed into a movie

Went and watched this yesterday. Thought it was really good for what it is. I hope the make some more of these and maybe some side story movies.

They mostly got the characters mostly right at least for the core team: Deadshot, Boomerang, and Quinn. Captain Boomerang is an incredible asshole, who the rest of the team doesn't mind double crossing at the drop of the hat.

Waller is just that cold. Deadshot is a little more ruthless in the comics. I think Leto was doing a modern update of Cesare Romero's Joker.

The villains were a little bland but considering they had to introduce the protagonists, they had to cut something.

Perhaps in the sequel that can have Chesire steal some nukes and try to nuke Qurac.

Sorry. I know why it was written into the movie. I should have phrased my point differently.

I can't empathize with homicidal maniacs no matter what you tell me about their back story. And I disagree -- I thought it was an awkward, unnecessary scene. (Not to mention it was at serious odds with the personalities of most of those characters.) You can still be interested in and entertained by a character without empathizing with them. Walter White is a good example. When you look at it honestly, he was a bad guy -- but I was riveted by everything he did.

Just a difference of opinion. You see a redeeming quality in the addition of that scene. I see yet another screw up in the writing and directing.

I didn't think the movie would be worse than BvS. It's a close call, though. "Martha" probably makes BvS worse, but SS, as a whole, is probably a bigger pile of shit than BvS without that colossal ****up.

Tons of shit I didn't like but it was an entertaining watch.

Will Smith carried this movie.

Agreed. That fan service for Harley got tired though.

I didn't see the regular version of BvS but in the extended version I didn't think the whole Martha thing was that bad.

It was pretty bad. The whole fight scene was pretty bad. The movie kinda sucked. Angry George Clooney versus Hipster Christopher Reeve. I also only watched the special extended version though.

Wow our moms have the same name...now I can relate. Let's fight crime together!!!

That was the worst angle in any of the super hero movies I think I've ever seen, and I'm not a comic geek and usually am pretty laid back and don't complain about petty shit. They're mostly summer box office popcorn flix, based on comics, you're not going to get an Oscar winning best actor performances excluding Ledger's Joker. BvS IMO did such a shitty half assed job tying each characters' plots together. I understand they had to do it someway...but it seemed really half assed...Half assed for a movie that had so much hype. I honestly didn't like BvS all that much. Batman by himself is the best super hero comic book movie franchise ever and it's not even close. It sucks that other than MoS (which was just avg IMO) all of the Superman movies have been dogshit.

I never thought I'd hate a batman movie more that Bales....growling every ****ing line when he was the bat....it literally made me MAD! ROFL
but then BvS came along. wow. just a complete turd. just terrible.

I think SS is much better than BvS...and yet not a great movie. I did get into a bit though...and I don't consider it terrible. worth watching I guess. just not great.

and I know this is stupid cause....it's comic books man....but I really have a problem with the characters who have no super powers. like harley quinn. just shoot her. the end. hell even batman....shoot him in the face where the helmet doesn't cover him up and be done with it already.

Harley was my fav in the movie though. she cracked me up.

I've been told to wait for the DVD/Blue Ray version with added time.

if they use that logic of just shoot it and be done with t then there would be no other super hero in the universe as superman is perfect

Will smith sucked. Joker has potential, Harley Quinn carried the movie, it wasn't as bad as some of you say (big surprise on hyperbole planet, I know) certainly not my favorite movie by any means but it was enjoyable

Funny how two people can watch the same thing and come to entirely different conclusions.

That's what life's all about, though, I suppose.

I like will smith. Not sure what it was about his performance in this one, but it was like he was off somehow.

Hmm, I liked his performance and thought it carried this movie. Admittedly, Smith is probably my favorite actor.

I liked Robbie as Harley but I felt many of her one-liners were forced.

This.
