Ouch.

Wow. Who would've thought that a movie whose real villain is Axel Foley interpreted by Jeese Eisenberg would be a bad money maker? Guess we'll have to check those second weekend numbers.

WB wanted to start the shared universe with Green Lantern. I'm supposed to believe they've learned better after everything I've seen about Suicide Squad, casting Ben "I Was in Daredevil, Goddamnit" Affleck and Jesse "Somebody please Atomic Wedgie the Shit Out of Me" Eisenberg, and the "no funny stuff" screenplay rules?

Conflicting reviews. I don't really mean about the final opinion, I mean about exactly how "eh" it was. It edged out Deadpool's Thursday sneak preview numbers but the reviews top out at "kind of not bad" and frequently tank as far as "horrible." I generally like DC comics more than Marvel, but goddamn me if I don't want to see the fucktards helming the DC movies to be punished for their constant meddling.

Ok, non-spoilery review:
It's a long movie, something like 2 hours 40.
The first 1.7 hours is like, "Who thought this slow, plodding, poorly paced shit was a good superhero movie?"
And then there's like 45 minutes of AWESOME.
Then it gets kind of slow again at the end.
So I dunno.

Seems like they wanted to put the awesome battle from Dark Knight Returns in this but didn't have the established history of the comics to do it in. That history was what made it work in the graphic novel. Had a bad feeling this was going to feel very clunky and poorly written.

There were aspects of a few different comics I've actually read.

Record box office.
No surprise there. Even bad reviews weren't going to stop this movie from doing well. Hell, most tickets were sold before the reviews even came out.
The interesting part starts next weekend and goes on to future DC movies. It'll be number one again, but for how long with Civil War looming? Will bad reviews here hurt Suicide Squad which already had a massive negative in skatepunk Joker?
Marvel makes good movies that appeal to hard core fans and casual fans. DC can't seem to hit that same mark.
I've heard their core audience likes this movie about as much as they liked Man of Steel...so not at all.
I think DC's big problem is they put their properties in Hollywood hands rather than using in house folks. What results are known characters that don't act like the audience expects and it pisses them off.

Another record!
Largest drop off for a superhero film. Not a good sign.

Liked it better the second time, after I had time to ponder why some things were the way they were.

I'm seeing it Monday.
I'm hopeful my low expectations will translate to a good experience.

I explained in the spoiler thread why I liked it better, I actually have a reason.... I wish I could tell you why going in so you don't have the same "what the fucks?" that I had.
