Just got back and I thought it was damn good. Want to see more of Leto as Joker. Killer Croc looked better than I thought he would. Looking forward to Wonder Woman.
|
Everyone I know in real life so far has enjoyed the movie. Really excited to see this still. May actually go tonight and pay the crazy price to see it.
|
Saw it yesterday and enjoyed it. The main story/plot was pretty weak but the interaction between the characters was great with some really funny moments. Not sure how I feel about Letto's Joker, he didn't have enough screen time to really make my mind up.

It should drop off next weekend because it did so well opening weekend. Actually broke records for August releases which includes Guardians of the Galaxy.
|
Not surprising it would beat Guardians of the Galaxy opening, since some of the characters/cameos in Suicide Squad are way more well known than any of the Guardians were at the time.

Suicide Squad will rapidly fall due to word of mouth, which is a strong parallel between it and guardians. |
I don't know it won't have a lot of competition and it's a pretty fun movie. I think it will do pretty well.
|
BvS had zero competition and it fell off dramatically. Not having anything to go up against doesn't mean much.
|
of course it will make money, but not the kind they'd want
as someone mentioned, guardians was so succesful mainly because of word of mouth, this thing here - no way |
Any movie is successful because of sustained ticket sales. The Dark Knight was pulling in money left and right, every weekend. It didn't blow its load opening weekend only up fall off.
BvS did that and was considered a disappointment to the point that the entire hierarchy overseeing the films were changed. SS is probably gonna go thru the same drop off. Because it's probably just not a good movie. |
It was a good movie though, best comic book movie this year in my opinion. To me DC's movies feel more like a comic book. I like both Marvel and DC and I don't understand the hate that the DC films get. If they make a film completely different from Marvels formula they get shit on, if they have one thing that is similar to Marvel people shit on them for coping Marvel. I read some Rotten Tomatoes reviews and most of them had go into the movie trying to kill it, it's just not that bad of a movie.
|
I want to like this film. I was planning on seeing it eventually.
|
Stop being juvenile. They're not getting shit in because they're different from marvel or trying to copy them. They're getting shit on because they're not good movies. Yes, you may like them. But they're not good.
Just got back from this. Wasn't very good at all. Villain stunk. The plot was paper thin, and while there were cool cameos and the actors did ok, the overall story and characters were flat. The motives were flat. The Joker was useless. I could go on. And probably will. But for now, I will say that it's deserving of its criticism. It's not a good movie. About as bad, possibly worse than BvS. |
Thought the character were well introduced and developed through out the story. Especially Diablo, they did a great job with him. Joker was great and had me hoping he survived and was glad to see him bust out Harley. Enchantress was a good villain and posed a legit threat. I'm not sure what people are expecting but the movie is fun all the way through an I enjoyed it. I'd actually put it above the theatrical release of Dawn of Justice but not above the Director's cut.

I had a better time with Ghostbusters. I wasn't bored. Simple fan says they were great with characters. They weren't. Deadshot and Harley get lots of love. But that's it. Diablo gets one scene where he explains everything at the very end. The other characters don't get shit. They're just there.
|
Each member gets their own introduction and has something to contribute to the team throughout the movie. Diablo had great development all the way through that culminates with his final scene.

I wasn't personally invested. You mistook being objective about what was being said as me being invested. I posted z review of it in the rate the last movie thread. It was ok. Nothing special. But I had more fun watching that movie than Suicide Squad. I was actually bored in SS. For a lot of it.
|
You were not being objective. You were being very emotional.
That said, I have seen neither film yet. I wish they were both good films as I still plan to watch them eventually. |
Perhaps you took it as emotionally. It's not what I was attempting.
I'd say give them a look. If you had to choose I'd say Ghostbusters is more deserving of your money. It's much less of a cluster fuck and, imo, more enjoyable. |
Movie was better than what I anticipated but nothing special. Wish Will Smith wasn't cast, I enjoyed Harley Quinn, Joker was ok Leto did fine, I just don't like the tattoos or his teeth.
|
Feel like he had such little time in no way could I judge his performance. He was interesting but never got past that due to having a very minor role.
|
I'll agree could have had more Joker. Leto said they filmed enough to do a Joker movie and they cut a lot out. Could have more in the DVD release like Dawn of Justice though.
|
List of supposed deleted scenes. Doesn't sound like there will be a Directors Cut as David Ayers has said that the theatrical release was his cut. Might see some in deleted scenes when it comes out on DVD and Blue Ray.
SPOILER: show |
Hope no one goes to this next weekend so I can have the 11 30am show all to myself.
|
Gonna go tomorrow on cheap Tuesday.....
|
Is cheap Tuesday cheaper than cheap Sunday morning?
|
Only costed me $5.50 on Satuday, thought that was cheap.
|
Suicide Squad was awesome, critics annoy me when it comes to reviewing 95% of movies but overall I love it.
I thought everyone nailed it mainly Smith & Margot |
Harley Quinn still seems weird without her thick accent.

Just saw this movie. I must say that I enjoyed it. Was it perfect? No. It kept me entertained, though.
|
How was Joker? Feel like Leto did a TON of work only for a lot of content to get cut.
|
And no one else matters to me in that movie. Maybe Harley, but I already feel like I'm watching a different version without her yelling "MISTAH JAY!!!!"
|
Joker still looks dumb as hell as a "gangsta", and most of the time doesn't really feel like The Joker and more like a "gangsta" mob boss, but then other times he does feel like The Joker (but just looking dumb).
|
Also, couldn't stop thinking that Rick Flagg looked like Big Cass (except not 7 feet tall, and with short hair)

Chorus catchy as fuck
|
I really liked the movie. Heck, I am genuinely interested in more of this Joker as well. Screw the critics.
|
The trailer has zero to do with critical reception. It just wasn't a very good movie and was reviewed as such. The Dark Knight trilogy had stellar trailers and still received wide spread critical praise.
|
I do love how DC fans get so wound up by their movies getting poor/mixed reviews.
Some of the stuff I read online is hilarious. |
Most the reviews I read are hilarious.

The petition to shut down Rotten Tomatoes was hilarious. The conspiracy theory that Rotten Tomatoes is out to get D.C. is even funnier, since Warner owns a third of RT's parent site, fandango.
Simple Fan with a typical D.C. fanboy response and claim that critics going in are looking for things to criticise. God forbid a movie you like getting negative critical reception that you're unable to understand or identify |
I'm not a DC fan boy, I like both Marvel and DC. I just think DC makes movies feel more like a comic book and I like them. I like the Marvel movies as well but these DC movies just fit me better. A lot of critics say there was no plot or story which is just stupid. I'm not sure what movie they were watching or if they even watched it.

Quote:
|
Well I've seen numerous reviews that claim there isn't a plot. The only reviews that really matter though are audience reviews which have been mostly positive.
|
No, they've been mostly mixed. 6.7 on metacritic for example.

Curious as to why you feel like DC Movies feel more like a comic book. Please list your reasons and cite your sources.

Still not 'recovered' from Dark Knight Trilogies
Although Dark Knight Trilogies concluded 4 years ago, I need more of a 'time gap' between that movie, and whenever I can truly enjoy anything Batman-related again.
Dark Knight trilogies in my eyes, was almost perfect in anyway.......which is why anything, or any character associated with 'Batman' appearing in other movies in too short a time frame will 'annoy me.' I wasn't ready to accept Ben Affleck's 'Batman.' I am not ready to accept a non-Heath Ledger Joker. Of course, that's just me, but I'd just personally prefer it if no Batman-Joker related movies came out until 2020 (which was my original hope). |
The plot was weak. The reason for the team to exist was non existent. Then all of a sudden, Enchantress, for some inexplicable reason, decides to turn on everyone and builds a nondescript machine of some sort that does something that's never quite explained.
The villain has no motive. The team is shoe horned into assembly. Flagg and Moon'sc relationship is never expanded. The Joker was completely useless to the story and entirely unneeded. The only character with any real heft was Deadshot. And to a smaller, last minute extent. Diablo. It was also poorly paced. The beginning with all the origin stories was ok, but Wallerc repeating herself in back to back scenes was redundant. Then they start to recruit the squad for no reason. There's no imminent threat. So what was the point? They weren't needed until after the heel turn. The action itself was also boring. Not to mention, sending in 4 humans to fight these God like beings makes no sense. They talk about these meta humans. But only Diablo fits that bill. Killer Croc has a skin disease but they present him as a man reptile hybrid but if I recall correctly never actually explain that. The movie's a big mess. Whether you can acknowledge that or not. You bypassed all the criticism in the BvS thread and made the same dumb remark that people go in looking for flaws when the reality is the flaws are right there front and center. You just choose to ignore them and instead of acknowledging them you pretend that a large contingent of people saying the same thing must be wrong. |

Echantress turning on everyone was not for an "inexplicable reason"..... just saying.....
The reason for the team to exist was also explained (in back to back scenes as you point out). |

Enchantress had motives, they were just bland. Painfully so. |
I'm not arguing that I was simply referring to the reviews which are mostly positive.

The impact of this "meh" reaction will be felt in the box office this weekend I wager.
|
Of course this is exactly what I said after BvS to the defiance by the same people on this forum. We'll know come monday if this is EXACTLY the same as BvS.

Sausage party and Pete's Dragon are likely to knock it on its ass when the time comes.

Like I said, not a perfect movie. |
Quote:
The vocal minority are the people saying its good, evidence of that will show show in just a few days. Repeated views and word of mouth is what drives the blockbuster juggernauts to make the money they make. Opening wekeend is profits based off marketing and brand names. Going forward the film has to sell itself. BvS couldnt do that, this likely wont either. |
Quote:
|
About the soundtrack for the movie, I wonder if that was even the original soundtrack. Sometimes the songs felt kind of "out of place", and I wonder if it was a reaction like "Gee, everyone really loves our trailers using these rock songs, let's put these songs in the movie as well"
|
Had the biggest Tuesday showing of August all time with $14.27 million up 9% from Monday. Beat Dawn of Justice, Avengers Civil War, and Age of Apocalypse for Tuesday showings.

Or they just don't want to pay $$$$$$ for a movie when they can pay $$ for purely economic reasons. The Advocate goes both directions. This thread is largely full of obsessive, overly-self-important armchair critics who couldn't put together something better, myself included. It was what it was, which was entertaining. Comparing any written media to the movie counterpart is dumb because you cannot possibly cram all the cool shit that makes the "book vs movie" argument in the book favor. |
Quote:
Time will see either way then |
Getting people to shell out 6 dollar per person is still something most films can't do.

Quote:
Because next Monday has a shit ton to do with whether people choose to be economically savvy nor not :yes: A shit movie is a shit movie, but all I have read is how everything is actually explained, it is just "too thin" - which is entirely subjective. Thin is usually what these types of movie will be, as they are meant to be "fun" and "entertaining" not make you think about "life" like The Matrix. When trying to make the most $$$$$$$ overall, appeal to the masses and not the mouth breathing neck beards who will bitch about stuff that the majority don't even care about and/or won't notice. Kinda like WWE and Cena, Reigns, etc. The "Cena sucks" crowd is minority, hence why WWE doesn't give a shit after 10+ years about said crowd. Cena plays it well by goading them and giving them attention because it keeps people "hating" him. |

My wife and I took our son to see the new Ice Age movie in 3D. Tickets were $16 a piece, but they also reserved our seats when we bought the tickets @ the box office, had leather recliners and moveable, folding trays to put your food on. When the experience is THAT comfortable and enjoyable, I'm happy to pay the money. |
Sounds like you went to a Movie Tavern like theater, we have one in Lexington and
I believe I seen Guardian's of the Galaxy at it. Is very cool to get food delivered to you before the movie starts but is definitely more expensive than a regular theater. |
Quote:
Usually the fancy theatres where they serve beer or bring you food directly are about 20$ a ticket |
Just got back. Some fun parts but overall, I can understand why critics are giving it the business. I said earlier that they hired a company that cuts trailers to edit the movie. That is very apparent, as this is some of the worst editing in a movie I've ever seen.
They tried to flesh out some of the other charactwrs besides Deadshot and Harley, butit just felt rushed. And Croc may well as not even been there. I liked the villain, but I'm a sucker for ancient near omnipotent types. The problem with those types is that it's difficult to get most people to care about a villain they can't in any way identify with, or understand, and that seems to be the case here. I honestly don't know what to think of Leto's Joker. Wasn't bad. Wasn't particularly memorable either. |
Here's something that made no sense. Diablo's wife marries a guy with a skull tattooed on his face, and seems stunned to find out he's a gangster with guns and money obtained by, I'd assume, committing crimes.
|
Does anyone commit suicide in this movie film?
|
Only after watching it brand new never before seen on here Mr.USA#1 poster
|
Sorry Destor. My brother went to see it last night and it was almost sold out. At the 11 15am show this morning it is more than half full.
|
Negative points for the lack of pokemon though.
|
That movie was awesome. Sure, if you want to grt technical there were some weird editing that went on but whatever. This is 100 times better than BvS. Can't wait for the next one. Boomerang man was stupid though.
|
I agree. I also really liked Will Smith being Will Smith. I forgot how my much I like Will Smith.
However I didn't like The Joker. I'm glad he had a lot of his scenes cut. Harley was good though. |
Suicide Squad looks to have dropped 67% this weekend, almost tieing BvS 69% record shattering drop. Course 2nd all time greatest week 2 drop is worth mentioning. Still could possibly pass BvS but today would have to topple projections based off friday and saturday.
Regardless history has repeated itself. |
Yep. Word of mouth not strong.
|
What I'm sure Warner is taking away from this is the with out question have the greatest marketing team in the busisness but that they were right to shift the franchise in another direction post JL:1
|
More like post Wonder Woman. They were already filming WW when BvS released. If there is to be a change, won't be until after that film. At least that's what I'm thinking
|
Lets hope not, i had high hopes for it
|
After 3 films, I'm done with hope. I'll likely still go see them Just to see them. But I've lost faith in Warner and D.C. actually knowing what they're doing.
|
Really hope Wonder Woman can be good
|
Enchantress was pretty hot.
|
Not was. Is. Cara Delevingne is maybe my favorite girl right now.
|
I'm not even talking about the doctor side. Her decrepit, witch form. Not the glowing version, the ghostly form. There was something 'dirty hot' about that form. I dunno.
I'd let her touch me in that meeting room. Funny scene, btw. |
