Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)
I mentioned this in a figure thread before that RT scores and box office $$$ aren't as important as everyone makes out - only for the people who like to based their opinion on what's written on the internet and claim it as fact.
Best example to use it Dredd - absolutely bombed at the box office but is a great solid movie and safely one of my favourite movies now. It has a good RT score but those types of movies always seem to do well up against the big studios. It's alll b******t anyway. Like what you like and dislike what you don't like - too many sheep these days.
The 2 most overrated things when it comes to movies....Box Office Earnings and Reviews. Especially RT, because all that site does is aggregate reviews from other critics. They are not reviews written by RT. All they do is collect reviews from all over and post them in one place.
And who knows what the intent really is these days with critic reviews. Do they get paid to be positive or negative by the movie companies? most likely. I don't read reviews anymore because i dont really feel they are authentic plus i just want to make up my own mind. it doesn't matter to me what someone else thinks.
And the amount of $$ a movie makes means even less and is no indication if a movie is good or bad. It $$ only means something to the people who are involved making the movies. I hated Iron Man 3, but it made over a billion dollars. All those Transformer movies make huge profits. But i find them unwatchable. Avatar made tons of money. I wasn't a fan. But a movie like "Dredd" actually lost money, but i loved it. it had a 50 million budget and it only made 35 million worldwide. But ill take that movie any day over a lot of the MCU movies i have seen lately.
But fans seem to focus so much on the $$ and reviews when really the only thing that matters is if you personally liked it or not after you've seen it. And if you do love it, thats great!!!! If you don't, you will live, and you can move on to the next thing.
