Movies SUICIDE SQUAD v.4 (Dragonlord's Review)

[Kiddo716]

Watched this today. Besides the first trailer, I stayed away from everything else after that - didn't need any spoilers like BvS served up with the Ninja turtle and Eisenberger being annoying.

The back story stuff was cool and I thought the first third of the movie was nice.

What I didn't like was the back to front feel that I got: So Waller assembles the SS on the of chance a Superman-like figure goes rogue? Ok fair enough. However, was the SS really going to protect against someone with Supes powers?

Ok - so that was the rationale. No real qualms there - it's Hollywood after all.

Amidst all of that, Enchantress ends up going rogue, now Flagg uses the SS to covertly reach the top of the Trump tower to shut down another world engine and get Enchantress back? Ok cool, I get that too.

I feel that the rationale behind assembling the SS should've been to combat The Joker, or at least Enchantress once she had gone fully rogue.

I'm not too clued up on the comic thing, so maybe I've missed something??

their first mission was not to combat the Enchantress, it was to rescue Waller. They only decided to take on Enchantress and her brother after Waller was "saved" to save June (Enchantress's host).

Hey Kiddo,

I know the first mission wasn't to combat Enchantress; as you kindly reminded me, it was to rescue Waller. (I actually forgot that).

I'm questioning the rationale behind assembling the SS, as Waller had to convince the Army general that having them on deck was necessary in case someone like Supes went rogue.

I think a more plausible case of assembling the SS would've been to take on the Joker and his goons; or once it had been recognised that Enchantress was fucking around, her.

Not a bad film, overall. 6.5/10

Some spoilers I read few months ago said that their first mission was getting some stolen Kryptonian tech from a drug lord or something like that. A much simpler mission would have made much more sense. Them going against any kind of demons is retarded. I still shake my head at Boomer throwing a fucking boomer at Enchatress' brother. That was pathetic and sad too watch.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

It felt like a badass roller coaster that just broke down at the top of the first incline.

The beginning was promising. Introducing the characters was well done: short, on point, let everyone know why they are bad but what they could do - etc etc.

It was stylish. Great soundtrack at times. Dark but nice splashes of colour. Gritty.

Joker was fine, more flamboyant and more crazy than sadistic -- but i like how he still came off as clever and a deviously good planner.

It just fell apart when they tried to make the squad seem like a level 5 ability group. No way they could ever, ever, ever take on elite level bad guys or threats. It tried to make that group seem on par with JL or Avengers when really, probably better suited to take down a mob syndicate about to let off a nuclear bomb -- not a mythical demon force with apocalyptic powers.

For the 100th time, they should of done the Assault on Arkham storyline (element of it were there)

8/10 for style points, character portrayals and the first 30 mins

4/10 for over reaching, horribly portrayed main villains, laughable ending and under utilizing the joker.

2/10 for bruce wayne mid credit scene.

the joker and his goons was not an issue. joker isn't even a "superman" threat in the eyes of the government.

This. no way they could take on that demon witch.

lol @ Harley tricking that witch.

 

[Flemmy Stardust]

Going to see it Friday. More to reunite with old coworkers than anything.

When it first came out i thought it was going to be pretty dark...but the newer trailers seem to be filled with one-liners...kind of took away my excitement.

 

[snakedafunky]

My friend and I both agreed Leto's performance wasn't bad and wasn't the reason we weren't feeling him. We think it has something t do with his design. I don't like it.

Yes I give him another shot. Maybe it will be better if he has his own story in a Batman movie. Almost all his scenes this time were for the story of Harley Quinn.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

lol @ Harley tricking that witch.

It can read minds, project images into them and yet she gets fooled by Harley's transparent ploy -- totally believable.

It's like someone stumping professor x at "how many fingers am I holding up"

5 Real life Suicide Squads

 

[Clippy]

So tonight was the night, the wife beat me with a bat and dragged me to see this

Not a DC fan and am a diehard Marvel enthusiast

I did see and watched Watchmen which is my fav DC movie and even above quite a few Marvels

Did also see Dark Night cause Heath Leger Joker and he was amazing

3rd movie: Suicide Squad

Yes they had to reinvent the Joker again ... not sure how I feel ... they made him TOO zany and ehhh, Don't think I'm sold

Overall though not bad, liked Will Smith's character and was expecting to hate Will Smith but he pulled it off. Harely was good too but some times a little cornball

The ending really shit the bed for me. Fuck what the hell was that.

People complain cause Marvel has weak villains but the villain in this movie was "Brother". Yes that's right, "Brother" who he is only referred too cause he doesn't have a fucking name. HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A FUCKING NAME



And they blew him up with dynamite? HOW?!?! These witch people can walk through walks and shit. And the inferno guy who turned into a giant tribal fire guy to fight "Brother". WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED TO THIS MOVIE!?!?!?

I knew he had to die cause he was too powerful, not surprised

And then the witch fought all the suicide squad and was CLEARLY too powerful for them, and I was getting bored at the unpleasable constant survival of our anti-heroes. Come on man if the fight goes that long someone has to die to maintain realism.

blagh

Somehow Harley's fake out bow and use the sword, it was so obvious and corny dialogue. Her heart was glowing to really drill in her weakness. The ending just shit all over the place for me.

What else happened

...

- There was that guy who's super evil power was he could climb shit really good and then he got dead hanging from his climbing gear

- Boomerangs are suppose to come back when you throw them

- Australians are drunk assholes

- Ability to make fire letters would help kindergartners with learning to read

- Annoying pointless army of faceless cloned I don't give a fucks, ala paper mache army in Guardians of the Galaxy and the droids in Phantom Menace

- When that guy was in the bathroom and the witch pulled his head into the mirror that was cool

- Harley is by far the most pointless and useless one of the group, her powers are insanity, acrobatics and being whorey..... She was using a fucking baseball bat most of the time she should have died immediately, she's even more useless than guy who climbs walls really good guy

- Why was there baby clothes in the circle of knives when Joker was having his weird sad lay down?

- Extremely pointless as hell post credit set up of Justice League. I mean so fucking pointless.

- Fuck Deadshot can read fast when he got that top secret book of all the shit that was going down.

- Meta-humans is a lame as hell thing to keep saying over and over. Just call them mutants and get sued, it's less lame.

- What the fuck was Crocodile Man saying most of the time? He should have had subtitles

- I felt like I was playing a video game during the origin stories when their stats flew on the screen

Question:

If Waller had Enchantress "under control" , why did she even bother with anyone else?
She has an extremely powerful witch seemingly under her full control! I fail too see a situation where Captain Boomerang or Croc are more useful than a being that can teleport at will, use telepathy and telekinesis without breaking a damn sweat!

Thats been DC's ways of calling them that for a while, especially in the Flash TV Show.

 

[A Pennysworth]

If Batman would just embrace his inner Punisher. Crime in Gotham would drop dramatically. Of course we wouldn't have the best rogues gallery in comics if he did that.

Because Waller isn't stupid. she knows her fail-safe (the heart) may not always work, so she surrounds herself with a team bad guys that have no qualms of doing what has to be done to get the job done.

I saw it last night I'd give it a 7/10. I enjoyed it & had a good time but it's possible that my expectations are lower for these types of movies than more serious films. I wish they had more of Boomerang because he was funny in almost every scene he was in. Although the casting choice for Enchantress wasn't that strong I kept finding myself wondering if her muff is as hairy as her eyebrows.

 

[KnightTemplar]

Is it true the novelisation is closer to the movie before the final cut?

326 million currently, this seems very good, this movie seems less affected by the critics compare to BvS.

And also considering it hasn't been released in china, this is very impressive

I hate it tho

I'm pretty sure it's a dude, bro
