Suicide Squad vs The Mummy (2017)

The Mummy. I found Suicide Squad entertaining.

The Mummy

At least The Mummy had Sofia Boutella and wasn't a visual trainwreck to boot. Her villain was much better than Cara Delevingne's - Enchantress was probably the worst villain in a major blockbuster I've ever seen.

Suicide Squad was a failure on almost every level.

It isn't an argument. It is a statement based on opinion.

Both are terribly written and poorly made movies, so in this case it just comes down to which movie is more "entertaining." 

At least The Mummy doesn't take a bunch of villains and turn them into a bunch of whiney babies. At least The Mummy doesn't turn the Joker into an annoying glorified pimp, at least The Mummy has a menacing villain, at least The Mummy has coherent action scenes, at least The Mummy has Russell Crowe hamming it up to great effect. These are just some reasons why I prefer The Mummy.

At least The Mummy doesn't have this idiotic 4 min. scene.

Let's talk about this scene for a second. Harley Quinn's fantasy is to live a normal life with the Joker even though her infatuation with him is based on the fact that he is a psycho? Diablo killed his whole family and the the thing he most wants is sex with his wife? Not to spend real time with her and his kids? The main problem with the fantasy scene though is that it expects us to care about these characters but never gives us any reason to care about them.

And the most ridiculous aspect of the movie is that they are forming this group of villains in case someone as powerful as Superman (or Superman himself) tries to take over the world, but none of these villains are even very powerful besides Enchantress. What is Deadshot or Boomerang or Harley Quinn going to do against a superbeing? The fact that they defeat Enchantress is absurd enough by itself.
