The Suicide Squad turned out to be better than I thought. Not a great film by any stretch, but better than the trailer suggested. So let's take a look.

Regardless of quality, I'd definitely say James Gunn's heart was in it. When DC absorbed him after being temporarily fired by Marvel, they told him he could literally do anything he wanted. And of all things, he decided to make a Suicide Squad movie. Mainly because he was actually a huge fan of the original comic series. Props to him for making a gutsy move and good for Warner Bros for staying the fuck away and letting the man create.

Really walks the thin line of being bad taste, and doesn't care. It's more like the old school James Gunn in Super mixed with some of the Guardians phase. And doesn't try to be gritty, dark, serious, etc. It's like those fun 90's action movies. Didn't try to be something it isn't, didn't try to build romantic relationships between characters and didn't force or preach you about anything. I didn't saw more than 15 min from the first one, but I had a blast with this one.

Haven't seen the movie yet. But credit where credit is due, cheers to James Gunn for embracing the comic book nature of this movie. I know he did the same with Guardians. And I know James Wan tried some of the same with Aquaman. Go big or go home, is all I will say. The last Suicide Squad was pretentious as hell. Edgy for no reason, no sense of awareness or irony. All under a PG-13 rating. They try to sell their story as "this is the real world, our world, all dark and gritty and there's crime and military and politics" and then oh, a f*cking ancient witch is the big bad. Really? THIS movie, a witch could pop out from behind any corner and you wouldn't bat an eye. It would fit and make sense. Again, I haven't seen the movie. And I HATED that first trailer.

Even if it isn’t perfect, what I love about The Suicide Squad is how the movie handled its characters. Coming into this movie on my first watch, I was a little bit worried if it would basically become “Harley Quinn and Friends”. I was extremely happy that James Gunn allowed each character to have their chance to shine; and because of that, everyone I know who saw it had their own favorite character. Ratcatcher 2, King Shark and Bloodsport are my top 3 favorites, and I hope to see them return in more Suicide Squad movies and their own spin-offs. With that out of the way, I can definitely say that The Suicide Squad is my favorite movie of the year, so far! I hope Warner Bros can let James Gunn make more movies for DC, because there’s so much potential with what he can do next. #RestoreTheGunnVerse

As soon as her escape scene started, I thought, "Oh Christ, they're gonna have this 120lb woman kill dozens of trained soldiers single handedly, aren't they?" And sure enough.... oh, except they added some special effects to distract from the choreography. In a movie with a talking humanoid shark and a Godzilla-sized starfish, watching Margot Robbie (yet again) outfight/kill groups of grown men was what dented my suspension of disbelief.

When she was chained up and lifted herself and a soldier 1.5 times get size from the ground, I was willing to buy into some level of super-strength, and with that the following fights (ignoring that no soldier catches her with a bullet) were enjoyable

I loved the characters here. Ratcatcher was incredibely lovable and and cried "NO" out loud when Polkadot man got killed, wich is something I very rarely do

SAME!!! I rolled my eyes when I heard he was going to be in it because... well... Polka Dot Man. They made him so cool and sympathetic and INTERESTING in the movie that when he went down I literally yelled at my screen! I really wished that "dimensional disease" thing came into play against Starro. (Harley should have been removed from the film altogether to allow more time with King Shark and PDM!)

I liked Polkadot Man, but the way they framed the shot, you could see they were going kill him as a joke.

This is exactly my thoughts on Harley Quinn here in TSS, she's fantastic and kills it in the action sequences but her comedy is not working most of the time. I don't know about her character in the comics but from what i've seen in all 3 movies her comedy falls flat more often than not, so i suggest if they stick with the deranged, badass fighter take rather than the quippy angle.

Fun fact: David Dalmastian, the guy who plays Polka Dot Man is the guy who played one of Joker's henchmen in The Dark Knight Rises. Thomas Schiff. His name tag says "Officer Dawes". When Gordon gets shot. Indicating Rachel is the Joker's next target.

I was hoping knowing his lackluster performance in Fast 9 was a result of him putting all that effort into the guy wearing a metal soup bowl on his head. Happy to have seen that was indeed the case, and deserved his A-Game way more than the former.

This film definitely does NOT deserve to be labeled a “flop” it was Miles above the original and I’ve already seen it Twice in theaters when I could Barely power through the previous once
@bobnix32402 жыл бұрын
"Flop" refers to how it performs in terms of viewership and net income, not quality. Something can be much better than something else and still completely flop where the other succeeded. The first Suicide Squad made a lot of money despite being utter garbage. So far this one looks like it'll struggle to make back its budget, which would make it a flop. Maybe positive reviews like this will help it dig itself out of a hole, and of course there will be endless excuses about HBO Max streaming to muddy the waters in terms of how well the film actually did, but at the moment it's looking extremely floppy.

The vocal tones sounded generally happy in comparison to the exhaustion I often hear. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I would like to check out everybody else's thoughts.
