This is a stunning look behind the curtain of the mess known as the WB

Now I did enjoy the movie, but I absolutely respect the hell out of this. Dude stood up and said a lot. WB needs to stop being beep and do their stuff right. Sure I liked the movie but the fact is it could have and should have been better. There is no reason this movie or BvS should have been universally(almost anyway) hated and critically panned. They both should have been glorious adventures in cinema, but you know what? They weren't. No matter the minority of viewers(like myself) that liked those two movies. Facts are facts and WB beep up in a big way.
I'm actually glad that this guy said what he did, what's the worse that could happen? WE get better movies? Oh god no! I think people need to see this and wake up, even if you liked the movies there is NOTHING wrong with asking for a better product. Which we should be almost screaming for at this point.

I can't watch that at the moment but why are you putting so much emphasis on the word "true"? Is it sarcasm are are you being 100% genuine, and possibly encouraging or attempting to discredit my post? Sorry I honestly can't tell.

That's a fair enough statement. I'm not disgusted but I do want a better product in the future that's for sure.

The way I see it, I could love this film up and down all day and all night. However if enough people hated it and create an uproar about it the studio will churn out a better polished product. If that's the case then by all means raise your voices because if I think what they call "meh" is awesome I can only imagine how much I'm going to poop in my seat if the studio puts out something these mehsayers call amazing.
It's a win-win for me if I'm going to be blunt.

Yet, that sh*t crashing is somehow paying off with Suicide Squad making money despite being awful. Go figure.
SUICIDE SQUAD hasn't made money. The press reported its break-even point as $800 million, meaning its likely to leave theatrical release still in the red, just as did BvS.
And that break-even estimate is based in part on studio-released figures that are far lower than originally reported. Back in December, it was reported that SS's budget had already gone over $250 million and that was before the uber-expensive last-minute reshoots. Then, prior to the film's opening, the studio released a much lower budget figure. This is sometimes done by studios as a means of saving face when a film is expected to underperform; Sony did it with GHOSTBUSTERS just a few months ago. If SS actually cost a lot more than is being currently reported, that break-even point could be over $1 billion.
In either case, SS hasn't made money. If the studio had reigned in the movie and kept it closer to the originally projected $44 million budget, they'd have turned a tidy profit by now. Instead, they let it become an out-of-control money-pit, one that probably won't turn a profit until it hits home video.
