Though the movie (which stars Method Actor Jared Leto, if you haven't heard) is not out yet, and I can't imagine how a vast majority of fans have actually seen the film, they are mad about the early reviews of the film. When that doesn't happen, they become angry.Īs is the case with Suicide Squad fans. So, when people feel things by watching a group of superpeople beat the shit out of other people, then overcome adversity, win, and learn some stuff about themselves along the way, these viewers want these feelings to be confirmed by other people.
And when we feel things, we become emotionally attached to the thing that makes us feel the things we feel.
Universal – Universal has only produced The Hulk. Their lowest rated movie was Incredible Hulk at 67% and the highest rated movie was Iron Man with an impressive 94%, tied with Batman: The Dark Knight for the highest rated comic book movie on this list. Three out of their five movies were rated higher by critics than by audiences and once they were rated the same.

The lowest rated movie was Fantastic Four with a dismal 9%, tied with Catwoman as the lowest movie on this list. Twice a movie was rated higher by critics than Audiences, X2 and Daredevil, never thought I would write that sentence. Here are the results for each studio.įox – The biggest difference between critics' reviews and audience reviews were fo r X-Men: Apocalypse, a 23% difference. I also included a few Disney movies, based on comic books or comic bookish in nature, in order to see if their number varied from their Disney Marvel venture. Blade looks like it was the first comic book movie, which did not feature Batman or Superman, which did relatively well. I went back to 1998, when Blade came out. First I created a list of comic book movies whose source material was from Marvel or DC Comics, not including their independent branches. So I went to the numbers to look at the data and found some interesting, but far from conclusive results. At first glance this theory seems ridiculous, but it keeps popping up in message boards and in conversation. Further, the theory states that Disney/Marvel pay critics to review WB/DC movies poorly. The theory says that Marvel/Disney pay critics a kick back to give their movies good reviews regardless of the movies' actual content. This got me thinking about a conspiracy theory that I have heard pretty regularly about the Disney/Marvel corporate offices. However, as of this morning, the audience gave the movie a 68% and it raked in over $575 million dollars. The critics lambasted it with a 26% rating. Whereas Deadpool was an undisputed success, Suicide Squad was met with mixed results. A brash action comedy that helps launch their respective movie-verse. It appeared that WB wanted to use Suicide Squad in the same way that Fox used Deadpool. I read the reviews posted by critics on Rotten Tomatoes, which tempered any expectations that I had for the movie. After seeing Suicide Squad this weekend, I wanted to write a piece about Rotten Tomatoes.
