I care so little for this movie, I actually openly allowed myself to read a tagged spoiler.

And even THAT was dumb.

Still haven't seen the first one.

Joaquin Phoenix should probably fire his agent after this and Napoleon.

They wanted to make sure they did not have to do it in threes like the batman movies.

WTF.

Why we DC fans can't get a break? I still have some high hopes in Gunn's universe, but fk, DC are really stupid.

First one is really good and works well as a stand alone movie.

its funny... people always complain about there being no originality in movies anymore... this movie tries something very out of the box... problem is that they forgot who the target for it was in the first place... generally comic book fanboys don't like musicals...

While from a commercial pov it was a bad idea to make this movie this way, the fact that this movie is a musical is not why it sucks. If it was a good musical, it would be getting some praise from movie critics, but this movie is getting destroyed by everyone. Good musicals drive the story through the musical pieces, here the musical parts were pointless, annoying and don't add anything. Without them you would still have the same crappy story.

One thing I'd agree with you: This is not just a money grab, this is an artist trying to do something completely different, but he obviously had no idea what he was doing.

I agree that good movies are good. No matter what genre.

But talk about a handicap that the producers put on themselves.

If you watched the trailers you wouldn't know it was a musical. But as soon as it was announced as a musical it lost a lot of luster. It was a bad decision to make it a musical and a worst decision is below.

“We’d very often meet in Joaquin’s trailer and sometimes we would just tear the script up and start all over,” Gaga recently told Vanity Fair for her own cover story. “It was a really cool, liberating process.”

Phillips confirmed Gaga’s story and told the publication: “My line about Joaquin is that he’s the tunnel at the end of the light. You think, ‘Okay, this scene works, let’s just go shoot it.’ And Joaquin’s like, ‘No, no, no, let’s just have a quick meeting about it,’ and it’s three hours later and you’re rewriting it on a napkin. What’s great about Lady Gaga is that she really holds her own both off camera when we’re in the trailer tearing things apart—which she probably spent the night before learning—but also on camera. It was not a small feat.”


This trio really fucked it up.

39Million opening weekend. So the most iconic comic book villain of all time, in a sequel to what at the time was the hightest grossing R-rated movie of all time, is opening on par with the often maligned and memed Morbius. Holy crap, this is historical when just a few weeks ago it was projected to get as much as $150M on its opening weekend.

I agree with this. The 1st movie wasn't a musical, nothing in the trailer made you think it was a musical and it wasn't overall promoted as a musical. I guess it makes sense that they hired a musician to play Harley. Overall this will be a terrible money loss bomb. The idea of a musical probably would had been great if they performed it on Broadway.

I am beginning to think this was a Marvel universe sabotaged the DC universe... they purposely put the idea of a superhero musical into the air through HAWKEYE...

and DC saw it and was like WOW THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA!!!!

Previews I've seen also aren't doing it any favors

I also don't get why they cast Lady Gaga.... Only reason I can think of is because they are making it a musical

They actually say that lady Gaga was the only good thing in this movie.
