Geeks think Rotten Tomatoes is too mean to superhero movies
The Australian beauty hit the red carpet in Leicester Square for the European premiere of the movie, in which she stars as Harley Quinn, in a cream floor-length number, embellished with embroidery flowers.
What do you make of the petition, and have you seen Suicide Squad? Vulture’s David Edelstein called it “the year’s most muddled piece of storytelling”. Hollywood Reporter’s Todd McCarthy wrote that it is a “puzzlingly confused undertaking that never becomes as cool as it thinks it is”.
In addition to the now disturbingly commonplace vitriol being directed at critics on social media, one particular fan has taken it upon himself to create a petition on Change.org demanding that Rotten Tomatoes be shut down over these poor reviews.
“Especially with Wonder Woman coming out next year, it’s important to find and tell women’s stories in this superhero world, because the films are just so popular with audiences”.
Cara said: “That week, I lost my virginity, I got into fights, I cried, I laughed”.
“For me, yoga’s the only way I can really feel things and check how I am”.
DC Comics fans and the Speaker of the House have something in common. I mean, f***ing being a teenager suuuccccks.
He later suspended the petition, saying “the only thing that it does is spreading a speech of hate and online fighting”. (As of writing, Suicide Squad is at a “rotten” 33%.) The fan who made the petition posits that the site puts out negative critical scores for DC films, citing Suicide Squad and the similarly panned Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice as examples of this. It is expected to gross US$125 million (S$168 million) in North America when it opens this weekend, according to box-office analysts.
