With 67% Drop, Looks like Suicide Squad is following in BvS footsteps

[mduncan50]

Despite what your parents told you as a child, unless you actually touch the stove while it's on, it is literally impossible to have an opinion as to whether or not it is hot? Regardless, I never said I had an opinion of the quality of this movie. I never said it was good/meh/terrible. I simply will not continue to pay $30-50 for a night out to see DCEU movies when the two I have seen are crap, and I'm neither seen nor heard anything to make me feel that Suicide Squad will be any different. I'm happy to give it a try on Netflix when it comes out, and if I actually find myself enjoying it, then maybe I will change my stance when Wonder Woman comes out.

The stove is objectively hot. Being told that the stove is hot is a factual statement. The quality of a movie is entirely subjective. Being told that a movie is bad is an opinion. Really, a really bad analogy does nothing to support your point. I'm positive you didn't need me to explain the difference between fact and opinion...

Also, you said:

I refuse to keep giving WB any more of my money until they start making decent movies.

This is a statement which encompasses all WB movies, including Suicide Squad.

Stating: "until they start making decent movies." is giving an opinion of a movie that you haven't seen. Of which you have no basis.

So what you're saying is that you go to see every movie in the theater that comes out? Especially sequels to things that you think were garbage? I doubt you do. You probably make the common sense decision to not spend the money on a movie from people that make have been making bad movies and instead watch something that looks better. As I said already, multiple times no less, when it comes to Netflix, I will give it a try, because I have absolutely 0 trust WB/DC to make a good superhero movie that isn't a solo Batman.

Actually, that's not what I said at all. In a post that you quoted, I stated:

As I said before, it's fair enough if you don't watch a movie based on other people's suggestions. But people shouldn't try to have an opinion on the quality of the movie when they haven't done so, because it's literally impossible for them to have one.

What I'm saying is that you can't hold an opinion based on what other people are saying.

I'll also add that also helps when one keeps an open mind about a movie with mixed reviews, instead of disregarding every positive review as "blind fanboyism". Generally, then you don't watch a movie with the preconceived notion that it's going to be bad.

Is it a reading comprehension issue? I never said it was bad. I have said again, and again, and again, that I will watch it and decide for myself when it comes onto Netflix. What don't you understand about that?

Here, let me resolve this argument:

You can't expect a person to have to see a film before deciding whether or not they want to see it. That's dumb. If we applied that standard to every film, then bad films would all make money because would have to see them to decide if they're bad.

If you decide a film is good or bad based on what your friends or some website said, that's not your opinion. It's someone else's opinion that you have decided is credible, for whatever personal factors (trust, rhetoric, confirmation bias) apply.

Don't repeat other people's opinions as your personal opinion or as objective fact, and don't dismiss a person's stated opinion on the basis that they are merely giving credit to another person's opinion.

After typing the word "opinion" this many times, it's looking kind of funny. Like it was trying to be an onion, but instead got attached to a bird's wing. [https://www.google.com.au/?client=firefox-b#q=pinion&gfe_rd=cr]
