Board 8 > I'm about to watch Suicide Squad

(+) Yeah! (+)

part 2 in the 2 part series of me watching the DC Cinematic Universe
---

Oh right you were doing this

I actually liked both BvsS and SS.

MoS, not so much
---

SS was watchable BvS was not.

Don't think I'd call it good but it was at least somewhat entertaining.
---

wow they sure licensed a lot of songs for this huh

weird to just introduce those two characters out of context and then jump into Amanda, but ok
---

Yeah I hope you like jumps and cuts.

Wont be the weirdest decision they made for the movie.
---

man, when you say it out "Harleen Quinzel" is an absurd sounding name
---

Good luck

I still need to watch BvS just in case Justice League doesn't suck
---

seriously it's like every two minutes there's a new song

why is Fortunate Son playing over this Killer Croc segment ?
---

wait did they not even bother introducing Slipknot?

what the hell

like his dumb face is on the projector screen in this scene but they didn't bother to give him a cool intro?
---

wait how did Ike Barinholtz end up in this casino situation

that was a weird jump
---

Heh heh

Slipknot.
---

wow this enchantress situation escalated quickly
---

I mean that Enchantress plan went wrong almost immediately. Amanda Waller is an idiot.
---

"Here comes Slipknot, the man who can climb anything"

and also punch women. He has two skills.

it's still so weird to me that he's the only one who didn't get an intro scene. Well, it's not weird, because he's fucking Slipknot, but it's still weird because he's the only member of the team who didn't get one. I expected a little more subtlety about him being totally expendable.
---

I like Harley Quinn
I heard she played a big part in Suicide Squad and hoped it would be the light of the movie

She didn't
She sucked
They tried wayyyy to hard to make her edgy and it was disgusting
"WE ARE BAD GUYS ITS WHAT WE DO"
Shut up

She was great in the Arkham games
She is annoying bitch in this one
---

HE SAID THE NAME OF THE MOVIE

I knew it was coming and it was still hilarious.
---

why is Katana here

why did Katana get an intro but Slipknot still didn't

oh hey Spirit in the Sky. This soundtrack keeps happening.
---

lol slipknot
---

I thought Slipknot was hilarious, Moogs
---

what Amanda just murdered some random dudes

what the heck
---

Don't mess with the Wall

Don't even associate with her
---

Leto's Joker voice is pretty ok

why is Boomerang consoling Deadshot about Harley? why would he give a shit?
---

where are the actual us superheroes during all this

there is a giant beam shooting into the sky, why isn't Wonder Woman showing up?
---

I'm not loving this version of Killer Croc
---

did Croc just request accesss to BET

why is this the characterization they went with for him
---

surprisingly few deaths for this Suicide Squad

I expected at least one more
---

Were they trying to copy Guardians of the Galaxy that hard and I just didn't notice until now? Huh.
---

I don't think that was very good, but it at least wasn't totally the worst shit ever like X3 or Elektra

why was barely a cameo Common credited above Katana

why was Katana even in this movie
---

Jared Leto is such a shitty Joker

Like he plays some random lame gangster character that is inexplicably called Joker

it was like nonstop most obvious soundtrack songs

Sympathy for the Devil, Fortunate Son, Spirit in the Sky, Seven Nation Army, Bohemian Rhapsody ...they really wanted the audience to go "hey I know that song"

There were a couple moments where he had a pretty good Joker voice, but yeah he was mostly pretty bad. He sounded pretty good on the helicopter with Harley for some reason.

Margot Robbie's Harley was pretty good, though. most of the stuff I enjoyed involved her.
---

I enjoyed it mostly for Will Smith

Though admittedly he was playing Will Smith more than Deadshot
---

Yeah, he was pretty good at Will Smithing.

Why was anyone other than Deadshot and Harley Quinn even in the movie
El Diablo was also pretty pointless until the very final scene (I guess they included him in the movie just for it)
---

oh, and of the two, I definitely liked Batman vs. Superman way more. Like a 4/10 for Suicide Squad and a 7/10 for BvS on my very generous review scale.

edit: maybe more like 6.5 for BvS.
---

Yeah, this was such a formula Will Smith movie that even I noticed it.

At least the others were villains coerced into being on the Squad. Katana just showed up and hung out and then had like three lines.

Captain Boomerang is there so they have someone to kill off in the second movie.

as someone who didn't watch this i am enjoying your cynicism
---

thanks

When asked if the Joker would like 30 Seconds to Mars, Jared Leto said: "I think the Joker would like Thirty Seconds to Mars because he likes a little chaos and if you've ever been to a Thirty Seconds to Mars show it's a lot of chaos and a lot of fun".
---

That's fantastic
---

I was fine with Leto's Joker but obviously Heath's was superior. Also for someone pushed so hard with the movie he was barely in it.


Suicide Squad has to be one of the most poorly edited films I've ever seen. And I saw it opening night because I went with coworkers who were hyped and I just sat through the movie like ".....wow I'm really not enjoying this". I can't even remember the last time that happened with a movie I saw in theaters, I usually find enough enjoyment out of movies to satisfy myself.
---

Yeah Leto's Joker was a very different take but I liked it, basically just got written out of the movie cus Leto's an edgelord and was doing weird shit so they wanted to phase him out, like that uncle you keep at arms length but is great in his own way.

Film as a whole was watchable but through sheer force of persona and will rather than actually being decent.
---

This movie is so poorly made.

My favorite part of the movie and the only part I actually laughed at was when Captain Boomerang just fucking bolted away. All the rest of the jokes fell flat so hard.

I think the most egregious part was the bar scene where all of a sudden they're supposed to want to save the day in the fakest manner possible when none of these assholes have developed even a little bit in this movie. Why they don't just tell Flagg to fuck off and peace out is beyond me, because that's how this movie had went the whole time. But Flagg pulls out some letters from Deadshot's daughter that he was carrying around and says "But Enchantress is my girlfriend. :(" And that's all it takes? Come on.

And the movie is just so dark. The lighting is atrocious in every single scene and it makes it hard to even make out what is happening in the fight scenes, especially since these enemies are actually the most generic things ever. Could they have made a more boring group of enemies than whatever these things are?

Suicide Squad was actually the first time I wanted to leave the theater. The second that Boomerang comes back to save the day FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON BECAUSE HE DIDN'T LISTEN TO THIS SAPPY BULLSHIT AND HE OFFERED NO EXPLANATION WHY I was fucking done.

But it was the end of the movie and I wanted to show Joel Kinnaman enough respect since he's too good for this movie. But Christ, even the ending where Harley saves the day is bad. I know she's the only reason anyone came to see this piece of shit and the only people who actually enjoyed it was because of their boner for Harley Quinn, but why is Enchantress so dumb she wants girl-with-bat as her second in command? Why does she fall for this dumb crap? Why does Captain Boomerang, the guy known for throwing shit, not throw the bomb instead of Killer Croc who already did his part in saving the day by getting the thing?

Such a bad, awful movie and the only movie I've ever seen where I don't understand how anyone can say it's good.

Why would a guy known for throwing boomerangs throw a heavy non-boomerang that's intended to go far away and never come back? Over a guy with superhuman strength?
---

Bro, it was a small explosive that he put in a sack that could be carried in his palm. It wasn't a big or heavy bomb.

Edit: And they said that Captain Boomerang's thing is that he's super accurate at throwing shit at the beginning of the movie.

I feel it was made for horny, rebels, edgy 16 years old that have a boner for Harley Quinn and nothing more than that

No, I meant visually. Like there is virtually no lighting at all.

Sure, it's grim dark because lolDCEU, but it is actually physically hard on the eyes to try and follow the action with absolutely no lighting.

I think you're thinking of Nicholson's Joker.
