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

[KnightTemplar]

They should have omitted Amanda Waller's line of forming a team to stop a rogue Superman altogether. That would have removed some of the key criticisms about the movie.

They should have removed Waller's head from her body. Go Full Game of Thrones or go home. No one cares that Slip Knot buys the farm. He was so lame he might as well have been wearing a Red Shirt. A couple of high profile casualties like Waller and Deadshot would have made a real statement: this ain't Civil War, where the worst casualty is Token Black Buddy signs up for the Special Olympics. In our movies, you don't get Plot Armour unless your name is Batman. Everyone is at risk.

Shia LaBeouf Eyed for SUICIDE SQUAD Role, Reveals Two Characters were Written Down

In an interview with Variety, Shia LaBeouf said David Ayer sought him out for Suicide Squad. Following Fury, the director approached Shia about the film. The role, however, wound up going to Scott Eastwood who played Lieutenant GQ Edwards.

Shia said the GQ Edwards character was different when heard of him but “then Will [Smith] came in, and the script changed a bit. That character and Tom [Hardy’s] character [later played by Joel Kinnaman] got written down to build Will up.”

And, what’s more, it appears that Warner Bros. wasn’t keen on Shia starring in the film. “I don’t think Warner Bros. wanted me,” he said. “I went in to meet, and they were like, ‘Nah, you’re crazy. You’re a good actor, but not this one.’ It was a big investment for them.”

As for whether Shia would take on another blockbuster, the actor said he wasn’t sure. He did say he’d be willing to work with Michael Bay again as the pair met through Transformers. “Mike is an artist,” Shia said. “People don’t realize how dope that dude is. He’s got to get a little ballsier with his moves — he’s trying to toe the line and be James Cameron, but James Camerons are dying. I don’t know what he’s chasing, but that version of director is dead.”

[TheRuthlessOne]

I like Shia

Underrated actor

 

[Big Brown Clown]

WB is the first studio to have two superhero movies make over $300 Million domestically in the same year.

 

[taurus]

someone on reddit said it would make sense that Shia is cast as Red Hood. Didn't think about it until that point. Makes total sense, kind of like when someone on sherdog (not sure who) mentioned that Cruise would be great as Wolverine in Old man logan.

 

[CableandThanos]

My idea of success is, would anyone go see these characters again in SS 2?

I'm guessing not.

 

[D3THRONED]

lol @ someone calling this a success, WB would strongly disagree with you.

 

[SammyPops]

the joker was just ok. maybe the watered down relationship with Harley or soemthing, but just meh.

 

[MacDuffle]

The Editing Room just released a spoof script of Suicide Squad, and it's pretty great.

I would see SS2 in a heartbeat.

 

[Thai Otoshi]

I would see SS2 in a heartbeat.

So would I.

Like I said before, it's basically on par with the Thor movies. Not necessarily the most compelling movies, but well worth the price of admission. They're at the very least entertaining.

Also, Enchantress' late movie popping and locking is somehow growing on me.

 

[Mike]

Yes these movies made money but the issue is they're supposed to be the springboard for their entire cinematic universe.

So it could be a problem that BvS was objectively bad and suicide squad was just ok. I'm certainly not sold that they know what they're doing with these characters

I have high hopes for the batman movie though.

Scott Eastwood was in Skwad? I did not notice this.

 

[Mike]

Oh did anyone else notice Flaggs little assistant guy had a backwards baseball cap on the whole movie? So douchey.

Regardless if they're "true to the comics", look like shit while in production, or if people are trashing them from the trailers, I'm going to watch any and all shit thrown out by DC or Marvel.

One way or another, I'm at least going to be entertained by the vast majority of them, and even the shitty ones will provide ironic entertainment.

Yeah I watch em all. I love superheroes too much too miss them. Great time to be a superhero fan.

Watching all the kicking and screaming and gnashing of teeth by all these comic book experts as this movie became a massive success has as entertaining as the movie itself.
