DC is making good movies lately, was there a change in direction ever since Justice League?

Aquaman
Shazam
Joker (not really DCEU, but still)
now Birds of Prey

WW 1984 is also looking good

yesterday i was kind of surprised to learn this is rated R

then i realized that it's going to have an R for language and violence, no titties allowed

makes me miss the 90s

let me know when "blood soaked and violent" has been changed to "slutty and revealing" and maybe ill buy a ticket

The American ratings board is really fucked up, it needs to be changed.
If you haven't seen it, you should watch a documentary called This Film Is Not Yet Rated.

I mean, if you released a John Campea Youtube video in the cinemas and had it rated it would be R just because the F word is used multiple times.
It's so dumb.

The only somewhat negative comments I’ve seen are from Grace Randolph’s tweets, which seemed to indicate she thought it was “too much girl power” or something like that? I think she compares it to the recent Charlie’s Angels in that regard

either way, her review is live. I don’t watch her reviews before seeing the film first anymore excuse she spoils shit “accidentally” all the time. I’m just posting here now cuz it’s the first of the “big Youtubers” I follow




anyway, super excited to this movie ASAP, love the buzz it’s generating

Edit

Collider is up

It's not that she accidentally spoils things, she spreads outright lies for outrage views. She went off on BoP claiming the movie was doomed and they were reshooting the whole movie in the reshoots.

In reality they just brought in the John Wick director to do the action scenes, and those are what almost everyone is praising about the movie.

I want to be hyped, but Aquaman had a ton of positive buzz as well, and I barely made it 20 minutes into that piece of shit. Wonder Woman was just ok. At least I could watch the whole thing.

I feel like sometimes everyone's so shocked at a DC movie having at least average competence that the hype goes overboard. I'd love to be pleasantly surprised by this one, though.

I will be surprised if I enjoy this because the trailer to me felt like it had no plot at all. Maybe just a bad trailer. ill see it tomorrow after work. Thank you A LIst.

If its watchable, which by most accounts it is, then that is already a huge improvement over Suicide Squad.

Suicide Squad is one of maybe 2 films in my life that I could not finish. Couldn't do it.

I needed to kill time on a 12 hour flight home from Japan, and I still couldn't be bothered to keep watching Suicide Squad. That really was a huge piece of shit.

I think Suicide Squad is fine until Enchantress starts dancing.

As someone who grew up reading the actual Birds of Prey series, I can't help but see this film as a huge abomination. The fact that Harley Quinn gets top billing in a fucking BoP film seems absolutely insane to me.

$110-$125M opening weekend (worldwide) on a $97M budget.

I doubt that. I checked the reservations for several countries and it looks waaaay worse than Solo for example. Some of the biggest theaters around here are still empty. And not just for today but for the whole weekend as well.

1. It's the worldwide number.
2. Solo was a PG-13 movie that wasn't marketed until 3 months before release.
3. BoP is an R-rated movie releasing in February.

Harley is the #1 selling female superhero costume of all time.

Those people who were 10 or 11 when Batman: TAS was on are now grown up with money to spend and Harley is easily the most popular female superhero character.

Well, we will find out. But, if the reservations are any indication, this could become a spectacular box office bomb.

If I’m honest I had severe doubts about this film. The costumes look like crap, the fight scene in the giant hand trailer looked like total dogshit and I’m not really a fan of this genre.

But that was before I saw Obi-Wan-McGregor going out of his way in several interviews to inform us that the film is actually a bridgehead in the battle against misogyny, and therefore makes an important feminist statement that we all need to take heed of in our awful world of toxic masculinity and testosterone fuelled hate.

And lets be honest folks, McGregor is the perfect guy to speak out against the misogyny that women face every day, after all he does have first hand experience of the subject at hand...

.... Because whilst lesser menfolk were honouring their vows and doting on their daughters, McGregor was busy having loads of affairs before marriage, sticking his dick in another bird during marriage and quibbling over child support for his daughter after marriage. Truly a valuable ally of the feminist movement. A paragon of virtue, virtue that must be signalled.

So having witnessed McGregors fabulous interviews about this film all my previous doubts have been dispelled and I’m now ready to do my part and go and see it. Possibly several times.

*Cough*

I dunno, at least he looks good waving a glow stick around.

The word of good reviews is starting to spread in my area. Starts tonight and is starting to fill up. Its not gonna bomb by the looks of it but 110 might be too high.

After Justice League I will be passing on paying a dime to see any future DC movies. I like WW more every time I see it, I'll never need to see Aquaman more than once, and I'm totally off Robert Pattinson as Batman.

The one and only thing I remain curious about is how they will bring upon Darkseid and inevitably fuck him up worse than Fox did Apocalypse.

I legit had no real clue this movie was coming out. I have to watch the trailer for it but I cannot say that I am all that interested in it.

I'm shocked I actually liked it for the most part. It's not amazing or anything but it's a fun movie. I don't have any major complaints but I had zero expectations.

That's kinda how I felt about it. I saw it today as a double feature along with Bad Boys for Life, and I think I liked that more, but this was fine too. I would've loved to have seen more Mary Elizabeth Winstead though, she's one of my few Hollywood crushes.
 
I don't know if it's because Margot Robbie is ridiculously attractive, but this movie looks completely watchable to me.

I know for a fact that it's not going to be great and I'm not paying to see this shit in theaters, but it seems like a good movie to kick back, pay half attention to while drinking beers and talking shit with your boys.

That's what I plan to do (y)


Also, this post needs more attention:

It started here yesterday and theaters were pretty much empty and still are or have max 5-10 reservations. Maybe this will change over the weekend, but at the moment it still looks way worse than Solo for example.

I watched the movie and I think it was pretty good.

The only negative things are I wished they fought together as a group sooner and pacing kinda uneven in the middle.

I heard in another forum that this woke shit is getting high score reviews, is it real?

Our higher prices theatre here with the fancy reclining seats has 3 sold out shows but they are only 30-40 ish seats but that's a good sign in this area it will do well.
