You made a declarative statement, dumbass. Its composite review score by fans and critics alike is much higher.

Birds of Prey is a mess of a film.

What you could’ve have said “I don’t care for James Gunn” would’ve been an opinion.

The Suicide Squad was the best film in the DCEU and the subsequent change in direction for the studio supports my claim. Nothing supports yours.

Just stfu and get over yourself. The Suicide Squad was a shite movie. Go argue opinions in the corner by yourself, child. Waah, you don't like what I like!! Waah! You big baby. You do know that not everyone is going to agree with you in life, right? It'll be ok.

Oof. That’s an L.

And remember, you’re on a message board, if you don’t want pushback on your shite opinions, maybe Tigerdroppings isn’t the place for you.

Lol. You're the one that got irritated because someone doesn't like what you like. You're also not the board police. The Suicide Squad was a shite movie. Not my fault you like giant turds.

I've never been into comic books, so I just don't get the whole DC and MCU movie phenomenon.

However, the fact is that those movies have pretty much dominated the box office landscape for the last 10 to 15 years, maybe even longer. Further, what’s clear is that these movies can pretty much put any halfway decent actor/actress in these rolls and they’re still going to make a shite-ton of money.

Hell, even with a pathetic actor like Ben Affleck, these comic book movies can still turn a good profit.

So IMHO, judging any actor's or actress's box office appeal by looking at their comic book movies is a huge mistake -- especially the female "superhero" actresses.

Babylon bombed at the box office, making just $4.85 million in the domestic market against a budget of $110 million over the holiday weekend. This is the fifth film in a row where a film which featured her in a main role has either flopped or disappointed at the box office.

I'd love to see the movie industry go down the tubes.

Yep, such shite it became HBOMax’s most streamed DC related movie ever, which led to Peacemaker, a runaway hit for HBO that was claiming records for HBO Max, and James Gunn is now in charge of the DCEU.

You are certainly entitled to whatever shite opinion you want to have, but the majority that saw it, liked it

Wait until the new female-led POTC franchise flops with her as the lead.

Writers will say that it’s men’s fault for not giving female-driven leads the chance.

She’s not a terrible actress, it’s more the roles she chooses. In addition to the fact that COVID changed how people see movies and no one goes for anything other than big franchise releases.

Outside of Tom Cruise(and only when he picks the right films, which to his credit is most of the time), there is almost no such thing as a true Box Office draw anymore. At best some stars are an added benefit

Leonardo DiCaprio maybe has some of that classic superstar draw, but even Don’t Look Up showed he’s not infallible if the projects themselves aren’t already good and intriguing.

Her pirates movie has already been canceled, it isn't getting made.

Marvel does a decent job of making a movie where you don't necessarily have to have followed the comics to understand. While also staying close enough to the source material to keep the comic nerds happy.

And keep the movie entertaining as well.

I was interested but thats a dealbreaker. If a movie is long enough to be a mini-series, I can wait.

Add in commercials and drive time, they're asking for a 4 hour commitment.

That's the point I was making.

She isnt a draw as a lead because leads dont get nekkid.

She is past that point in her career.

Lol, you can’t be this obtuse.

With the qualifier of “Birds of Prey is good, The Suicide Squad sucks.” is what makes you 100% wrong here.

You had a meltdown in your previous post.
I’m glad you’re coming back to reality.
