I wonder where the goal posts will move next. "Fake reviews! Shills!" "Oh yeah, and Zack didn't make it, so it absolutely sucks!" Even with the reviews, I still think the movie looks lame as hell, but good for them if it's actually good. Could be an inverse of Suicide Squad, which had great-looking trailers but was a complete mess.

Yeah the trailers for this looked really bad and I wasn’t excited about it at all. But my buddy wants to see it and it’s getting good reviews, so I may actually end up checking it out.
It’d be great to get the Suicide Squad taste out of my mouth.

I wonder where the goal posts will move next. Oh, I'm sure people genuinely enjoyed the movie and that's great for them. I don't at all think they were paid off or are being inauthentic or something. It's just nothing whatsoever I've seen of this movie actually looks like it would remotely appeal to me personally. Then again I also thought all of the trailers for Iron Man 1 looked like total shit and I still really love that movie now so what do I know.

I just hope that this is better than Suicide Squad. I remember my ex acted like it was the best DC film ever. Don't even get me started on the Twenty One Pilots song on the soundtrack.

I loved it. Great pacing, great score, had so many moving parts that you never got sick of anyone or had any moment that dragged. Recommended.

Suicide Squad is totally the best if all you've seen are it, Catwoman, and The Return of Swamp Thing.

Its already certified fresh and has like 140 reviews. Its not going to go down much more. I loved it. Great pacing, great score, had so many moving parts that you never got sick of anyone or had any moment that dragged. Recommended. Word? The score is really exciting to me. I’ve loved the scores of all the DCEU films so far except for JL which felt like Elfman phoning it in. I’m excited to watch it

Don't diss Swampy.

I thought it would have made a better TV show. It just moves way too fast for its own good, so you don't really invest in anything. The cast was really good for the most part, would have been nice to give them more time to develop beyond "Badass Babe That Was a Cop", "Badass Babe That Became a Killer For Revenge", etc.

f*** now I’m bummed out.
I wanna see the Snyder cut and everything but I REALLY wanna hear Junkie XL’s original score for JL. That second trailer, using the Beautiful Lie track from BvS and turning it into the triumphant theme for the League.
That’s my kind of thematic shit, man.

I enjoyed it! It did so much more to deserve being rated R than Joker did, geez. The post-credit scene even popped the theater worker waiting to clean up. Heh. Also, this friggin glass is TALL

I loved it. Great pacing, great score, had so many moving parts that you never got sick of anyone or had any moment that dragged. Recommended. I've got a question about violence in the movie. My mom wants me to take her to it (she loves Harley Quinn, especially Margot Robbie's take on the character) but is worried a bit about the violence. Last year there was an escape attempt by some prisoners and they viciously murdered my mom's friend's son who worked there (not a guard, mind you, a mechanic). The details of the murder were recently made public and so it's very much still on everyone's minds. That said, is the violence more cartoony, or more realistic? If it's realistic or even Tarantino-esque I think we'll sit this one out for a bit. If you're worried about spoilers, please just message me your reply or put them in spoiler tags here.

I’m pretty pumped to see this tomorrow night! I love Margot’s Harley, but the commercials and trailer did nothing for me and I was kind of begrudgingly going to see it at some point... but now with the positive press I can’t wait!

I liked it, it was fun. Nice to see a comic movie that's small in scope/doesn't have the fate of the world at stake.
It is way more a Harley movie for sure. The other characters are good, it's just her story foremost.
The studio notes must've really emphasized "do it like Deadpool".
If you're inclined to not like it if it's not like the comics? You're not gonna like it. Particularly Cassandra Cain, they could have named her anything cuz they have nothing in common.
TheY acknowledge Suicide Squad a couple of times, but it's hilarious how much they're pretending like Leto Joker was never a thing. Even in a little animated thing at the beginning he's drawn like the classic comic version.
I'll be curious to see how it does, theater I was at was pretty empty and this isn't a movie that's going to bring in huge crowds unless it gets great word of mouth which could go either way. I think it'll find a really devoted audience, but don't think it'll kill at the box office or anything.

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. Yeah the trailers have all looked like ass and just looked like a bunch of pale imitations of the characters’ comic versions to me. I do find it funny how this film’s trailers looked like ass but the film is apparently good but Suicide Squad had great trailers and is ass, though.

Oh, and there's a scene towards the beginning where a person's face gets cut off with a knife so... That's mostly what I meant when I said it did a lot more than Joker to deserve an R rating. Probably best for her to sit this one out.
