Looks like the word of mouth got out that this was a terrible movie.
"Looks like the word of mouth got out that this was a terrible movie"
Yeah except the majority of people think it’s a good movie.
Not really, that's not how that works. Its a guaranteed flop.
shareDoesn’t change the fact that the majority of the people who watched it liked it as evidenced by its IMDb rating, Rotten Tomatoes audience score, Metacritic user score, RYM rating, etc…
But no let me guess they’re all fake and/or paid ratings, right?
Ratings can be manipulated, do you not remember The Interview and Captain Marvel fiascos?
shareYeah that was predictable. "I personally didn’t like this movie therefore the positive ratings for it can’t possibly be legit" basically.
shareThe ratings were artificially lowered on CM, it was like a 15% audience score, then RT deleted all the negative reviews and it jumped to the 60's, and now its at 45%. Its a rotten movie according to the viewers.
shareWe’re not talking about Captain Marvel, we’re talking about The Suicide Squad.

Ratings don't mean a thing in the movie industry.
Many great movies barely make any money while many shit movies make a shit ton of money. Box office numbers don’t say anything about the quality of a movie.
shareThat's true, some movies aren't meant to make a lot of money, unlike this one, it was supposed to be a huge comic book summer time box office movie.
The SS has a budget of $185 million, its not even close even if you factor in home streaming.
I think it just has bad word of mouth.
Let’s compare the ratings of Captain Marvel and The Suicide Squad on an unbiased fake rating-free website:
https://rateyourmusic.com/film/captain_marvel/
Low rating. A lot of users on that site disliked the movie. Matches with what you said about the audience reception.
https://rateyourmusic.com/film/the_suicide_squad/
Not the highest rating but one of the highest rated comic book movies on that site. Most users on that site liked the movie. Doesn’t match with what you’re implying about the audience reception.
Ratings are definitely higher, but high ratings doesn't equal box office. Fast n Furious movies are terrible and people flock to those like moths.
shareEasily the worst movie of the year so far, and there hasn't been that much competition on the high end.
Probably the dumbest movie I have seen since Batman & Robin.
