Saw Suicide Squad with some friends a few days ago. It was pretty lame.

American Gangster just this evening. I love Ridley Scott movies, but seeing this one was a first. The editing was a bit busy and it was quite long (extended cut), but like with most RS movies, I enjoyed it quite a bit. That man is also incapable of shooting a bad frame. The movie looked extremely crisp!

What I've been hearing about the movie has been enough to keep me out of the movie theater.

It's not terrible, it's just not great. Thoroughly mediocre.

Mostly not very impressed with comic book movies. I'm not disrespecting comic books, but the movies are usually pretty meh. The first X-Men and Days of Future Past stand as the best of a mostly bad bunch in my opinion. I liked Watchmen a lot, but I usually forget to mention it as a good movie since I thought the comic was way better.
I have no relationship with the Suicide Squad source material so I can't really get myself hyped up about it.

Go watch the Marvel Studios movies. They're formulaic, but the formula is on point.

I've seen maybe half to two thirds of them and I've not been all that happy witht he results. The Thor movies sucked the most, but mostly it's just been stuff that I didn't really feel all that strongly about. I've skipped the most recent batch, so there's something to catch up to, I guess.

EDIT: Just noticed you said Marvel STUDIOS specifically. I really don't have any sort of grip on which Marvel related movies are made by what corporate entity.

The Spider-Man movies are made by Sony. The X-Men and Fantastic Four movies are made by Fox (along with the Ben Affleck Daredevil movie). Everything else is Marvel Studios. Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and the Avengers are all made by Marvel Studios. It's basically all down to Marvel not having their own studio when Spider-Man and X-Men became movie properties, so the rights were optioned out to Sony and Fox. But now that Marvel has their own studio they don't farm out the rights anymore and can do what they want. So long as what they want doesn't include Spider-Man or the X-Men.

I only really have personal ties to the X-men franchise (used to read them as a kid), so I wish they got their hands on the rights again. Bryan Singer did allright though - even if the newest one is supposedly a bit of a mess (haven't seen it).
