Bosco685 Posted February 15, 2020 Author Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) For those on the fence about seeing this and yet want to give it a go, it is worth seeing. There is action from beginning to end. The rumor about the male genitals in the diamond was completely false But make no mistake. The R-rating was a mistake other than one hardcore scene that I think is what really tipped this over the top. If that as the deal-breaker between PG-13 and an R-rating, block out that scene from the audience view.

Is that your big contribution? How much can you detract from a film, and continuously post about its weak box office results without being a fan of the characters, film or franchise?

apollobuzz Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 l will start off by saying that I was completely turned off by the trailers and almost decided to avoid this movie in the theaters and just wait for Netflix or HBO. But my wife saw this by herself earlier in the week, and we generally like the same movies. She said it was good. Wonder Woman is her all-time favorite movie, while Infinity War is mine. And my 12-year old daughter wanted to see this with her dad, so I figured worst case, I at least get to spend a couple of hours with my daughter. We went to the 4:35 pm showing to a theater that was about half full (bigger crowd than I expected and mostly adults with very few kids). This movie was a lot of fun! Laughter from the audience throughout the whole movie and good action/fight scenes. And the story actually worked for me. Didn't seem forced or too unbelievable in my opinion. Admittedly, I was also one of the few who liked Suicide Squad (and even the Leto Joker), but I think this movie was actually at least as good and perhaps even better. Go give this movie a shot. You will be glad you did. Ken Aldred, Bosco685 and ADAMANTIUM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm of the mind that not every movie has to be my favorite, I can still enjoy, but when it IS out of this world Glad You Had A Good Time, and that it was made a family occasion apollobuzz and Bosco685 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatsby77 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Honestly, 48.2% isn't a bad drop, considering 55% is about average for superhero films like this. I mean, Suicide Squad dropped 67.4% in its second weekend. Even Man of Steel dropped 64.6%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to hate, hate wisely! Dark Phoenix cost $200M to Birds of Prey's $84.5M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
