Amph (The) Suicide Squad

I think she looks creepy as **** in the trailers. Haven't seen her in any movies, so I can't comment on her acting abilities, but the look is dead on.

Yay! (I think?)

 

yeah, i'm sure the humor won't feel shoehorned or out of place. catering to what they think audiences want on any given day while clearly having no idea what they're doing or an overall vision they're willing to stick by is probably not a great sign.

 

No Yay. No Yay.

 

Yeah, I'm all about dialing down the ridiculous pre-teen darkness of the Snyderverse, but I don't like the sound of that.

 

Blah, isn't that sourced from the dude who swore up and down Force Awakens was opening with Luke's hand floating in space holding a lightsaber? Don't buy it.

I am hoping David Ayer made and R-rated movie, even though they supposedly shot a PG-13, but Ayer is a pretty dark guy which works for his stuff. Snyder's particularly bleak take maybe not so much but I'm thinking of this more as a David Ayer film.

 

You have to wonder if they're trying to go srs-evil on the DC villains, did they EVER read the comics these characters came from? Did they ever see the old cartoons? I mean yeah Batman himself can be dark and gloomy, but usually the villains are making light of his problems (hence why they're... villains). But if the trailer was the original extent of the Suicide Squad humor, why the heck make a Suicide Squad film to begin with?

 

The comics version of the villains are often as dark as Batman. Especially the Joker. As to making it in the first place, the point is to show a different point of view within the DCEU with the villains. Showing that not all of them are like Lex Luthor and the Joker. That some have a slight bit of nobility to them and maybe a willingness to make things right for themselves. And getting there before Marvel will.

 

Yeah making this movie as the 2nd jump into the DC movie pool is basically also a move that undercuts if/when Marvel does their bad guy team movie, Thunderbolts. And they already cut off Marvel again by having a female led superhero movie, Wonder Woman, out before them.

 

It's DC doing what they have been doing for the past 5 years: Reacting to Marvel's success while being 3 steps behind. Some genius saw the success of Deadpool and said "we have to be more like that in Suicide Squad!!"

 

I always said this movie is gonna be better than BvS. I still believe it.

 

Still can't help but feel that Jared Leto is just trying to do his best Heath Ledger impression.

 

Fantastic trailer, I've liked all the trailer's I've seen so far outta this so I'm not surprised. None of the Batman v Superman trailers had this bit of pep to them, and the darker vibe seems to more easily fit this flick.

If Deadpool making a ton of money lets this movie be R-rated, I am totally okay with that. Heck, if Batman v Superman got an R-rating and they weren't even trying for that, I think Ayer probably ended up making an R-rated movie anyway but they can let it slide because, yay, Deadpool!

 

Kevin Smith, in the Fatman on Batman podcast (live from Detroit), explains WB is known for reshoots on all projects. So this is not actually news, that they reshot some SS.

 

As long as it's a 30%, it will be.

It looks okay. As good as the first trailer. I'm hopeful.

 

I just don't get this reaction. I just thought they were trying to make it match the trailer more. What if you went to the movie expecting a comedy action film and it was all drama and action, with only the laughs in the trailer? Not to mention, reshoots aren't really news for WB as someone else stated. Actually alot of hollywood does it.

 

Nobody's talking about the elephant in the room that I brought up pages and pages ago: the USER score keeps going down. And it only has under 200,000 user reviews, indicating -- perchance -- that people just don't want to review it to get it down even lower.

Even Watchmen has over 1,000,000 user reviews. Man of Steel only has just over 400,000. Either Zach Snyder just make people not want to review his Superman movies, or people just don't want to tell the truth... every time BvS goes up a few thousand, the percent drops...

 

The main reason people are reacting like that is that, if the rumor is true (and that's admittedly a big if), the reason for the reshoots is pumping up the humor in the movie. It's not hard to draw a line to both the success of Deadpool and the poor reception of Batman v. Superman's darkness.

 

Though, this last trailer was pretty humorous -- even in the character moments -- so not sure if this includes the reshoots or not.

 

Yeah, I like it. Still, I stopped trusting trailers and considering them what they are (pretty ads that can be as misleading as any other ad) a long time ago.

But it looks good, sexualized Harley Quinn apart.

 

What's the over/under on hearing the songs from the trailers in the actual film? Will it have that Guardians of the Galaxy feel (with both Bohemian Rhapsody and Ballroom Blitz being released 1974 and 1975 respectively) or will it feel hollow and empty like BvS?

According to IMDb, the music is being done by Steven Price who is known for LoTR, Scott Pilgrim, Batman Begins, and he won an Oscar for Gravity so musically the movie appears to be in good hands. I guess we'll see how the plot goes.
