The ticket was $9-something as opposed to you getting the movie for no extra cost, but how can you put a value on the time that you'll never get back?

Then you doubled the loss by spending two hours writing a review.
The mind hungers for that on which it feeds.

That took me about a half hour, tops. Probably a few minutes under, but I couldn't swear to it. I just figured I'd write it to you guys here as a public service. On net, time will be saved if I can convince just one person not to watch it.

Let's start with a little background on this movie. Suicide Squad (2016) and The Suicide Squad (2021) are two different movies; an article makes all of the difference. Another way of looking at it might be that this is The Suicide Squad, but more emphatically so...it's like THE Ohio State University of movies, pretentious; the difference being that there's nothing that's just, "Ohio State University."




Not pretentious at all. If they wre pretntious they wouldn't have a seed as a mascot.

What alternative is there? I guess they could have an sentient tasty dessert as a mascot. I suppose that would be fitting since Alabama always eats them alive.

My time watching a bad movie at home isn’t totally wasted, as I can sometimes do two things at once.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Hey now, the Buckeyes have only lost to Alabama four times in the history of the series.

Not sure I could read that review in less than 20 minutes. We’ll never know.

If you can simultaneously take my word for it that you shouldn't watch the movie AND not read my review, then you will have saved a lot of time.

Out of five. Although, I will give them credit to the extent that, when they did beat Alabama, they went on to win the National Championship that season.

I know, but saying only lost four in the history of the series with Alabama sounds much better.
