I’m really surprised at what a hack flop this turned out to be. The trailers were unwatchable garbage but I really thought the gullible masses would turn out. Guess not.
It’s not just Harley Quinn. None of the characters in this movie are anywhere close to what they are in the comics. Black Mask is a cold and calculating villain/mafia boss, in this movie he looks and behaves like Elton John on his day off.
Not sticking close to the source material.
Giving too much control to an overrated actress.
Horrible marketing.
Could’ve used a more seasoned geek friendly director to excite the nerds.
These early numbers are a disaster. Who’s idea was it to green light this? It’s nothing more than a Margot Robbie vanity project that has fuck all to do with DC comics. The early trailers were absolutely terrible.
The movie blogger community is sensitive to criticism that they behave more like Disney employees than actual journalists but this week has shown that that’s exactly what they are. You can tell they’re disappointed that they don’t have a Marvel movie to drool over and are instead stuck having to write about this “DC crap”.
Disney will find someone else to point the camera at a green screen and tennis ball and yell action. Directors are interchangeable to them because their movies are made on an assembly line.
Jon Schnepp is dying. His fiancée just posted on Instagram that he suffered a catastrophic stroke last Thursday and is currently on life support. I hope he pulls through but it’s not looking good.
