After the poor reviews of Rotten Tomatoes for the Warner Bros. movie Suicide Squad, with a rating of 34 percent, fans said they've had enough already.The scathing reviews for the new comic book anti-hero movie are driving fans to desperate measures, pushing a petition to shut down the review website Rotten Tomatoes in protest for its harsh and unfair reception.
This month's most awaited movie Suicide Squad follows the group of DC's anti-heroes -- Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Boomerang, Killer Croc and El Diablo -- who are captured and grouped by Gotham's government to be used as weapons to protect the city.
Though the teasers are exciting enough to make us giggle and itching to have them on our screens ASAP, many critics have already slammed the film.
Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair calls it "too shoddy and forgettable to even register as revolting."
Robbie Collin of London newspaper The Daily Telegraph wrote, "The film makes your cringe so hard your teeth come loose."
The reviews have led the poor rating of 34 percent on Rotten Tomatoes for the Warner Bros. movie.
Because of this, more than 13,000 people has signed an online petition on Change.org calling for the review website Rotten Tomatoes to be shut down. This petition was launched by Abdullah Saleh, a 22-year-old university student in Alexandria Egypt.
Saleh told Reuters that "there's some kind of pattern for movie critics to give DC Extended Universe movies bad reviews." He knows that his efforts wouldn't actually shut down Rotten Tomatoes, but he said he wanted to show movie critics "that there are a lot of people who disagree with their reviews."
The student wasn't expecting people to take it seriously. "I didn't imagine it will go that far," he said.
The film showcases a new direction for Warner Bros.' DC superhero universe, which has taken to a more dramatic, serious and dark tone in action films like Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
Despite the reviews, the film is expected to gross $125 million in North America alone when it opens this weekend.
