But they gave AVENGERS 1 an A and AOU a B

In Ayer's own material, sure. But I don't remember reading any comics (and I could be off-base here) where Croc was a stereotype. It's especially weird considering the other two prominent black characters aren't cliches.

So I guess we should give that a pass? That's really weird logic.

I would shoot myself if I had to put with that voice for a whole movie.

I didn't like it at first, but I like it more upon repeated viewings. It's fine WWII cinema and absolutely killer sound editing.

JOKE SPOILER

He has a fairly tragic backstory about having a skin condition, so he was treated like a monster, so he basically became one. But that's where it ends. From there, Ayer gives him just the worst dialogue.

I believe she was at least given some agency in different iterations of the comic book. Either way, the movie shouldn't be off the hook because some of the comics didn't do her justice.

But at least that movie's soundtrack makes sense in context. It was mixtape made by his mom in the late '70s/early '80s, so I imagine it would have those MOR yacht-rock and K-Tel hits.

Yeah, this is some stupid Trump-esque bullshit DC defense.

He definitely has a bro-ness about his that's right along the lines of Snyder, Troy Duffy and Michael Bay. He's been behind some good work ("Training Day," "Fury," "End of Watch") and some absolute dogshit ("Sabotage." "Street Kings"). He's really inconsistent.

I wouldn't say that. It treats Harley Quinn, a woman who is manipulated and emotionally abused by The Joker, as a sex object who just cracks jokes the entire time. The only character that get worse treatment is Killer Croc, who's reduced to a black stereotype, down to his dialogue and wanting to watch BET.

I'd rank it just a touch under AOU because there were some parts of that I genuinely enjoyed, along with some of the characters. Can't really say that about this.

But to be fair, he was working with pretty solid source material, being that all of those are based on well-written books.

And I totally understand that, but for me, it being so handcuffed to the original really hurt it. It needed to either embrace it or ignore it. GIve us more time with the characters than having to devote an entire scene to the origins of the logo.

That's what I'm hoping this is. Or like, several albums worth of covers of public domain songs.

The one thing I'll concede to the "Ghostbusters" fanboys is that the movie should have been a passing of the torch from the old Ghostbusters to the new, so it can be an easier transition and the movie wouldn't have to stall every 15 minutes so we can have to see another cameo or reference. Also, outside of Hudson and…

I feel like the original "Final Destination" doesn't get its due since it's been so watered-down by a bazillion sequels. It's a fun, inventive horror movie that came out when generic, post-"Scream" slasher flicks came back to rule the box office.

That's what I thought too - that all Hardy needed was a moustache to twirl to become a full-on cartoon. It makes it even worse knowing that the two made up in real life, which would have been a way better ending than basically turning the movie into a WWE-like grudge match.

Oh God, that "Minions" short. I leaned over to my fellow filmwatcher friend and said "Kill me now" at the start, then the Minion huffed a bag of dog crap and I just kept thinking "Why do people like this?"
