Media Release

According to a new rumor, Joss Whedon is going to direct The Flash and Supergirl musical crossover episodes, which was announced yesterday.

Suicide Squad: Takes A licking From The Critics

Walt

The Suicide Squad Movie was seen by many critics who felt it was their duty to tell us what a failure in cinematic quality it is. The Tomatometer at Rotten Tomatoes sets at 26% which ties it with Green Lantern from Year 2011 and Superman III from the Year 1983, both not the best films by Warner Bros. On Rotten Tomatoes the Critics Consensus: Suicide Squad boasts a talented cast and a little more humor than previous DCEU efforts, but they aren’t enough to save the disappointing end result from…

Is Rotten Tomatoes Fair?

Walt

I am about to see the new DC movie Suicide Squad and I hear the early Critics Consensus is very negative. People are emotional about the movies they like and don’t understand how a movie can be Rotten or Fresh according to the website. Rotten Tomatoes is a website launched in August 1998 devoted to film reviews and news; it is widely known as a film review aggregator. Coverage now includes TV content as well. The name derives from the practice of audiences throwing rotten tomatoes when disapproving of a…

Media Release

Marvel’s latest promotion for upcoming Spider-Man story “Dead No More” comes in the form of an animated gif, one that warns that everything that’s been said up to this point about the arc may have been one big misdirect. Following a gradually accelerating series of related panels, the text “Everything you’ve been told is wrong” is revealed, along with the words “The conspiracy revealed this week.” Notably, the font in the word “conspiracy” strongly resembles that of the “Spider-Man” logo used for much of the 1990s: The “Dead No More”…

Superman’s rise and fall in “Man of Steel” and “Batman v…

Walt

When noon struck on Aug. 2, the Suicide Squad review embargo ended, bringing a whole new wave of critical scorn and disappointment from fans upon DC. While it didn’t take long for a gloomy picture to get painted on Rotten Tomatoes, it didn’t take long for writer/director David Ayer to defend his film either. Ayer first responded on Twitter by repeating a quote from Mexican revolutionary Emiliano Zapta, translating to “I’d prefer to die on my feet than to live on my knees.” Ayer then tweeted in English without quoting…
