Lol wtf was this movie. Complete mismatch of tone from one scene to the other and the script/directing/editing is incredibly lazy. Pierce was the best part and yet they wasted him. This movie and SS 2016 are very close in quality.
A lot of hate for DS2 is overblown, sure it could have been longer to explore some things more. But the movie looks stunning and very much feels like a classic Strange adventure. Raimi's touch can be seen in almost every frame. Hope he returns for DS3.
Rock has been around in movies for 20 years now, but his sudden rise in 2015-2016 is really interesting. Hercules was a bomb in 2014, yet summer 2015 had San Andreas and F7(although he wasn't much in it). That year was easily the turning point of his career.
I enjoyed The Suicide Squad, but I can see why it wasn't very popular with audiences. It's just such a weird movie, it starts off with a bang but then loses steam until the third act. I still don't know how Gunn and WB let Margot Harley have such less screen time.
Lol I had completely forgotten about this movie! My local theater had its huge poster at one of the central locations of the venue and people used to go like "Omg look at the star cast! This movie is going to be so good!". Aside from this one, 2014 was a great year for movies.
I know, right? Chapek era marketing has been mediocre at best. They need to get those clips and BTS features out like they used to do earlier. It seems like they took internet's complaints of "don't show too much in marketing!" a bit seriously lol.
