re: Suicide Squad Rotten Tomatometer Discussion - 29%

OK....We're just saying what movies we like better. Why the frick do you care?

Where Deadpool hit on almost every joke and the tone was pitch perfect, GotG just seemed forced, corny and try hard.

To each his own I guess, but I felt that way about Deadpool. Felt extremely forced, and the long run-on jokes (nearly all of which were spoiled in the trailer) were just lame, and unfunny anyway.

People like deadpool because he's a superhero who says curse words and shoots people ZOMG HOW EDGY

I don't have a reviewer that I trust beyond a shadow of a doubt. I've enjoyed movies hated by most critics and vise versa. His word doesn't weigh more with me than any other. To each their own.

ETA: DC needed a movie liked by most critics and they're not going to get it here. That's a bummer, but critics won't mean shite to me when it comes to my opinion of this movie itself.

Compare him and Angry Joe. It's a no contest on who the more genuine critic is.

With movies, yes. Angry Joe will tell it like it is hands down. He even loved Terminator Genysis. With games, I've noticed him doing sponsored streams more and more lately, so I don't know about him anymore. I don't follow Jahns close enough to say one way or the other, but yea, AJ is honest when it comes to movies.

Jahns doesn't agree with how I think this movie will be before I've seen it, so I think he is a hack.......

Your obsession with me is touching. I've posted before a few times how I think Jahns is a hack whose opinion I never take seriously. It is just his fans' opinions before he walks into see it. The only time he's ever surprised me is his Ghostbusters review when he didn't actually have an opinion on it. That's because he's a pussy who didn't want to get into the shitstorm the movie had created.

And I want to like this movie. It seems like they've got Harley Quinn right, and aside from the tattoos, I really think this Joker looks to be the closest to his comic counterpart that we've seen on the big screen. I'll be there just for those two. I'm also looking forward to Amanda Waller, Killer Croc, and Captain Boomerang. I'm not so excited for Will Smith as Deadshot, but it's possible he'll be good.

So I'm going to give this a chance. The reviews aren't just raping it, just saying its a bit meh and all over the place. No where near as bad as the BvS reviews.

Or maybe he just has a different opinion then you

I don't know. I can't take anything that Beyond the Trailer chick says seriously after she loved Batman vs Superman

Jahns isn't a God, but I do find his and my opinions about movies mesh pretty well. So, I feel pretty good about his reviews and relying on them.

I'm still going to give this movie a chance but I will have very low expectations for this one and who knows I might end up enjoying it that way. I'm looking forward to harley and joker and I think I'll like seeing Batman from a criminal's point of view.

I still can't get over how Warner Brothers thought it was a good idea to hire a talentless hack who sees storytelling as an obstacle in the way to his disaster porn spectacle when he would be dealing the most story driven characters ever. Hiring Zach Snyder and handing him the keys to the entire DCEU is one of the most idiotic and stupid moves I've ever seen in Hollywood that last 20 years.

Snyder literally set the entire DCEU back 5-7 years and they've lost the trust and respect of the casual movie goer and fanboys. They're going to have to work their asses off to get it back and firing Snyder will be a step in the right direction.

Apparently DC fans have started a petition to shut down Rotten Tomatoes
