[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 7123411, member: 1125"] Green Lantern is okay as a movie, not great but fine in a dumb fantasy way BS (Theatrical) was an incoherent mess that tried to stuff in too much and thus becomes bloated (the Flash back and email were dumb). in BS Superman is given no motivation and so becomes a plot device and Luthors plan has no logical scheme. As a Batman movie BS works okay, and Wonder Womans interactions were good too. The BvS (Extended) cut improves things by explaining Supermans actions in Africa and by showing Clarks work as a journalist makes his animosity to the Bat a bit more believable. go and watch Sinister Squad, the knock-off parody from The Asylum and realise that it is a better film than Suicide Squad where characters are better developed and the plot actually makes more sense. Suicide Squad is all flash without substance, wasteful of its premise, has a ridiculous villain doing the hula and bad guys who never do bad things and are only bad because we kept being told they are bad. Perhaps if Marvel didn't exist, the DC movies would have coped better but audiences have seen what the big budget studios can produce and so the standard is set. Everything Marvel has done - including Thor (which was boring), The Hulk and X-Men movies (which I personally didn't enjoy) has justified the notion of being a big budget hollywood movie. In comparison BS took the worlds two most iconic heroes and gave us an angsty kick in the nuts and with suicide squad served up a bad parody. I am hoping that Wonder Woman is enjoyable but we will see... [/QUOTE]
