Theyre also dumping Affleck and Cavill, apparently, but still going on with WW2, Aquaman, and Flash - and at least one continuation of Suicide Squad, maybe more (rumors of straight sequels, Harley Quinn centric movies, etc) I can’t understand why they would cancel MOS 2 but make sequels to Suicide Squad which was one of the worst movies I’ve seen.

mstrox 6,637 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I thought it was dumb (although honestly I'd watch it again before I'd rewatch BvS). At least it tried to be fun. They just made a second XxX sequel in the year of our lord 2017 and it made almost $350M worldwide. Movie companies don't care whether these movies are any good or not.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Suicide Squad is indeed terrible. Whole film is a mess. Having abandoned the MCU after the first Avengers film, I thought I could at least be socially relevant by keeping up with the DC films. But after watching Batman v Superman, Wonder Woman, and Justice League recently, I can happily abandon this as well. I'll stick with real blockbuster filmmaking like Mission: Impossible!

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 They put it on in the psychiatric facility where I was last detained and I fell asleep. Joaquin is a brilliant actor but I also find him fascinating to experience on a purely visual level because he looks more like an older more haggard version of his long lost brother these days. Just more masculine. I've been thinking for a while that these big budget franchises have needed a Phoenix to intervene. Unfortunately, the other one's been dead for like 25 years.

Nick1Ø66 4,687 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Black Panther, one of the better Marvel films, was most certainly bland. They're all bland. They sound the same, the look the same, they feel the same. That doesn't mean they can't be fun and clever and enjoyable. Sure, some are better than others, but they're all more or less the same film. 3 hours ago, Alexcremers said: Chen G's taste in movies continues to shock me.

Well, to be honest, I didn't even hate it, it was just very bad. *OTOH, working for DC didn't do Joss Whedon much good so there's no reason to think this will change anything.

Arpy 4,145 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I think this might be a good opportunity to course correct for both DC and Gunn. The problem with the DC films is that Zack Snyder left his messy fingerprints all over the franchise and that really affected every facet of DC's cinematic universe because once you start with something, the base elements, it's hard to escape them and do something new. As far as I know, Marvel's Thor has been the only character to undergo an effective change due to the invigoration of Taika Waititi's take on the character. The DC films are doomed to be forever under the shadow of Snyder's gritty, dull, dark impression on the world. He fucked up both Superman and Batman, and Wonder Woman felt like it was trying to get away from that but couldn't. Suicide Squad was a mess, a terrible waste too, hopefully Gunn, can have some influence to make the necessary changes that are going to take the DC cinematic universe out of the dregs, though honestly, I'm tired of all these superhero films and would gladly watch it crumble and burn. Wishful thinking can only get you so far... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was exactly what DC initially wanted when they hired Snyder and Nolan to produce and direct their movies. And theoretically, I think it was a good way to distinguish themselves from Marvel. It's just that the results could have been better. The DC movies feel like a compromise. They are not really Snyder or Nolan movies, they are what they thought the DC suits wanted.
