It's interesting to see how WB/DC began this whole cinematic foray by saying "we're going to let our directors have a bigger say than Marvel allows", immediately swerved into failing to put together a cohesive singular universe, and instead now has switched back to their original idea, to usually a stronger reception. Go figure.

Those reviews have me a bit more interested to see it. Might have to dig around for some change and catch a cheap viewing of it when it comes out

Eh, it's access media praising it. That means very little to me. I'll wait for audience scores.

It looks like fun to me..... not sure if I will see it in the theater or not, but I will see it eventually.

The people reviewing it don't care about the source material, so I couldn't care less what they think. Cassie Cain is one of my favorite Batman characters and they've turned her into Short Round.

She's definitely the wiseass kid sidekick. I'm not just pulling stuff out of thin air, here.

It's getting review embargoed until the day before it hits the theaters. That should tell you all you need to know. When do embargos typically get lifted with anticipated films? It varies. Just using the DC movies as an example, Aquaman's embargo lifted two weeks before the release date, Joker lifted ten days before, and Wonder Woman's embargo lifted two days before. As a rule a late embargo means the studio isn't confident of getting good reviews, or they've already got the reviews and they stink. Lifting the embargo early lets them put star ratings and review quotes in their advertising leading up to release, but there is also an increasing trend of leaving the embargo in place until late because the studio expects a big opening and see adding the reviews to the post-release ads as a way of carrying the momentum through the second weekend.

92% score on Rotten Tomatoes with 49 reviews.
Second highest ranked DCEU film on the site after Wonder Woman (93%).

SIGH. I guess I'll give in. I've had issues with how this film looks but with positive reviews rolling out like they are, I guess I'll have to see for myself. Really need to get on the ball and get my film review blog up and running, maybe I'll start with this one.

I've heard it described as "Suicide Squad done right." I hated Suicide Squad, so I guess that's good praise for it. Still wish it was a Gotham City Sirens or Harley solo film instead of her overshadowing the BOP.

I'm happy it's getting positive reviews, but it looks like we might be snowed in and I won't get to see it tomorrow night like I wanted, which is a bummer.

I am genuinely stunned this is getting positive reviews because it just looks absolutely awful to me.
I dunno. Maybe if the word of mouth on it's good I might give it an actual shot. Certainly not going to be opening weekend though.

I'm going to check it out on Tuesday, because tickets are dirt cheap so I figure why the hell not?

It could win an Oscar for best picture and I still wouldn’t watch this movie.
