It's funny that the only defense for SS being good is the box office.

That's all the defenders of the movie on here have said. "It's made more money than Captain America Civil War, Winter Soldier and blah blah blah."

Nothing has been said about how the story, the writing, the heroes or villains have been better. Just that it's made more money than Marvel movies. So therefore, according to defenders, it must be great.

I am not a Marveltard. As DC people so kindly put it. The Dark Knight is my favorite comic book movie. Batman Begins has the best origin story ever...I just like movies with good stories, good writing and what not. Suicide Squad was atrocious.

Rodents of Unusual Size?...I don't think they exist.

I have seen discussions that people have had stating reasons they liked the movie. Yes, there are a lot of box office threads but I think you will see those types of threads a lot on any active movie. Those are tangible figures that go beyond simple opinions on the quality of the movie.

Plan?...There ain't no plan!!

Agreed. It's the fact that it's currently making money and people have something to say about it. So the haters have to bring up " but it's not a good movie", like yea you said that 100s of times already lol

In other words the film wasn't very good so let's just forget that and focus on the only thing positive which is how much money wb took from the poor people that paid to see this

...and kept paying to see it.

just don't make it about Marvel Vs DC ok?

No idea why the sudden spewing of BO for whatever reason, but I'll gladly discuss with anyone as to why I liked the film. The reason I like it has absolutely nothing to do with how much money it made or did not make. I've done this in the past on this board already, however reasonable conversation gets pushed back by trolls, petty arguments, this MarvelxDC war, and more recently the BO numbers. It's sad, but it's true.

Batman Begins has the best origin story ever

Went back and watched this recently. There was so much in it that I had completely forgotten about to be honest. Made it even better.

I've baited my hook with my own underwear. Is it wrong that I hope to catch a fish I can relate to?-Ragdoll.

I've actually never seen Batman Begins.

[–] bcjester 8 years ago

It's certainly something I believe the majority would recommend. It's a pretty solid movie from start to finish.

It´s funny how you pretend this is true...

I don´t knw to whom you were talking too but what was left of Suicide Squad after WB raped the movie in post-production is still good...final product is very mediocre but still...

Movie looks great and has some pretty cool imagery...
Jokes were funny...
I like the score...or what we got to hear
scenes were directed nicely...
I LOVE the cast...this movie has some pretty strong performances...
so...yeah

What's so funny about that? Instead of being angry and demanding better, they are actually HELPING the WB crap on characters that they love. Why not take a cue from Fantastic Four fans and rightfully call out crap? This way, maybe better days are ahead for characters that they care about?

Lol I love the fact that people like me who like this movie got all you Marvel trolls losing sleep. it's a movie people, liked it, and kept going to see it, deal with it. You people are really invested in this fanboy war *beep* Lmao losers with nothing in life to cling on but a internet fanboy war. :D

The only reason I pointed out the BO is because people were saying it "flopped" financially... Which is not the case. Whether people liked it or not is up to them but lying and trolling is not on.

[–] MachoManRandySavage 8 years ago

My brothers kids liked it. I liked a lot of dumb action movies when I was a kid that my parents thought were stupid...they're just big budget action movies. Relax.

It's just a movie. Some people liked it because they just felt like watching an action movie and that's what it was. Nobody needs to defend anything.

It was okay. It wasn't great, it wasn't horrible. It had a few moments.
