Music Banter - What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

what? if there's anyone that should be tired of all these ****ty reboots and mass production of super hero movies it should be comic book fans. why would you want your favourite super heroes getting the DC treatment right now? im still pretty mad about Suicide Squad tbh.

Cause I like seeing superheroes. There are a million ****ty superhero comics but they also don't diminish my love of the comics that are good. DC making terrible movies doesn't touch on my feelings toward the Marvel MCU.

And yeah, Suicide Squad being mediocre was pretty bad for me. I'd been looking forward to it since it was announced cause A.) Harley Quinn, and B.) the Suicide Squad is awesome, so seeing it get the ol' DC halfass treatment with a side of joylessness was garbage.

Just curious, but what exactly were you expecting out of them? If they've become known for mediocrity, why would they change?

I wasn't so much expecting it as hoping that DC was trying to make a different kind of superhero movie after seeing how well Guardians of the Galaxy did. Suicide Squad would have been perfect to step outside their wheelbox but DC just didn't have the balls to go all the way with it.

right? the movie sold itself, DC had every reason to use the title to turn their momentum around and yet, they said **** it once again and put out a shell of a movie.

I'd love to look forward to Justice League... except I see no reason to expect DC to not do exactly to it what they did with Batman v. Superman. I'm kinda hopeful for Wonder Woman, but with how much they're trying to copy Marvel it's kinda looking like it might be Captain America 1, Part 2.

If you go back, I was the only one that agreed with you that it was good. I then proceeded to mention the little nit picky things that comic book nerds were mad about. Just because I'm into comics doesn't mean I was mad about those same things. I also remember stating that as well. So you might want to go back and re-check what I said.

Documentary: Eddie - Strongman

Went into this with low expectations even though it has a solid five star rating by Netflix viewers. Absolutely excellent stuff. First off Eddie Hall is freaking hilarious. The dude had me laughing out loud a number of times. Secondly this will give you a whole new insight and appreciation into the whole "Strongest Man on the Planet" thing.

My highest recommendation.
