I thought a bit more on it and it's BvS< Suicide Squad < BvS Ultimate Edition. Have not seen Suicide Squad Extended, tempted to buy the blu ray, but I'm about 75-80% Sure I'm getting it as a Christmas gift.
When I refer to BvS, I'm referring to its Ultimate Cut. It's still dumb, and the plot is full of wholes, but I'll admit it's something of a guilty pleasure, due to the mindless action if nothing else. Suicide Squad, on the other hand, was one of the worst cinematic abortions I've ever witnessed. Never in my life have I cringed harder.
Absolutely nothing about that movie worked. The action scenes were horribly shot, the dialogue and humor was the caliber of a Deviantart songfic, the soundtrack absolutely shattered immersion, and the re-imiaginings of Harley and the Joker were the kind of nightmares only Tumblr can produce. GOTG and Deadpool were weapons-grade frat humor, but they weren't cancerous.
Doesn't matter to me. I still thought both were the better superhero movies to come out of 2016. Deadpool wasn't as funny as I wanted to be, Civil War was a letdown, XMA was mediocre but okay, and Dr. Strange was just lazy. Call me a fanboy, but at the end of the day, I know what I like more.
Civil War and Dr. Strange played themselves ridiculously safe, but that's only because they didn't screw up spectacularly like BvS and SS did. DC's animated movies (Killing Joke aside) are all top-notch. But it's like after Man of Steel, WB committed to having the reputation for churning out the worst live-action films imaginable. These are some of the worst superhero flicks since the Spawn movie.
Marginal optimism for those, and Man of Steel 2. But that optimism's waning quickly, though...and Warner Bros seems determined to grind it to dust with each passing film.
The only thing positive I took from BvS was Batman. If you couldn't tell by now. Anyway, not so sure on Justice League or Wonder Woman, but I do have an odd feeling that The Batman will be good.
Then that'll have to be the "agree to disagree" thing. People say they're bad but I just didn't see it that way. I thought they were pretty good all things considered. But then again I also have a habit of preferring things everyone else doesn't like. (DmC, Watch Dogs 1, BvS ) so...
Hey, now, you're singing to the choirboy of alternate opinions. Between DmC, Lords of Shadow, Star Fox Assault, and the Star Wars Prequels, affection for the "black sheep" of franchises is something I never have a short supply of.
But anyway, Dragonmaster, don't worry about it dude, we all have things we like that the majority don't agree with.
I enjoy a lot of horror remakes, not to the extent that I think they're great, mind you, but I enjoy them.
And since we were talking about Prototype on my page, gonna say it, .....I like James Heller more then Alex Mercer.....*Looks around and runs*
