My thoughts on Suicide Squad... SCREW YOU, WB?DC!!!!!!
9 years ago
You know... I came across a 'Forbes' review describing this film as Charlie Brown on his back after Lucy pulled the football away 'fore he could land a kick. To me this was THE THIRD kick to the nuts in a row by WB and DC.
And yep, you better those friggin' excuses from the blind DC fanboys are in saying; 'you just didn't get it', 'it's too 'philosophical' for you, 'the characters in DC are deep and complex whereas Marvel characters are strictly for children'
SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
My God, if I had $100 for every single damn time I've heard and read these morons' delusional crap, I could by a lot of you a steak dinner.
Suicide Squad isn't a 'total' train wreck like Batman vs Superman was, but this movie was just awful. And the blind DC fans just will NOT admit that their precious movies are not good.
This was NOT Deadshot. It was just Will Smith being Will Smith
Killer Croc was OK. But like Apocalypse he was way too small and was just... there.
Katana was... just there.
Captain Boomerang....UUuuugh!!!!!!!!! He was useless and if you took him out it wouldn't change a thing. Literally.
Rick Flag was boring.
Diablo... who the hell cares.
Enchantress.... My God, she's right up there now with Eisenburg-Luthor and Apocalypse as being the worst comic book villains ever.
Harley Quinn was the only saving grace... even though the accent was all over the place... then again hardly any dialogue felt the least bit organic throughout.
My God, Jared Leto's Joker was the worst Joker I've seen on the big screen. They made him a gangster/pimp/gigolo. Seesh! I have new respect for Heath's Joker now. (though incidentally I did like the smile-tattoo on his left hand)
Amanda Waller, I know she's meant to be a bitch... but like everyone else she was just boring as hell!
There IS a way to make villains likeable, but this movie just didn't try. They didn't even come off as villains or anit-heroes. If someone says to you these characters are rich, deep, and complex... kick them in the nuts, cuz these guys weren't compelling in the slightest, and I couldn't care about them in the slightest.
I did like some of the song choices, even though tonally it didn't fit. The elevator seen with Harley WAS good... I'll put that in my Top 5 Elevator scenes ^^
Really?! How in the hell were these shmucks gonna be able to fight someone like Superman!?!?! That line is right up there with 'Martha', maybe even dumber to me personally. Unless they got kryptonite, they're screwed.
3 strikes in a row, WB/DC! I ain't gonna see Wonder Woman OR Justice League! I promise you, guys. I'm not being biased, I love both Marvel and DC, but the 3 so far for this DCEU are horrible movies! I WANTED this... and BvS and MoS to be good. I WANTED them to win... but it's clear that WB/DC flatout doesn't care anymore. So why should I?
The ONLY way I'll see Wonder Woman is if I have a free ticket. That's it!
Luckily... there's a theater in my area that's STILL SHOWING Captain America: Civil War!!!! I need to wash my mouth out of this taste this damn film left me with.

And the worst part is that Jared's going around saying that his "method acting" made him crazy, thinking it's a free pass to be a douche and sexually harass his costars off set.
Considering a lot of good stories were told in comic history I think it's high time for Hollywood to understand cheap fast and dirty does NOT mean a good story. I mean case in point they did a good Deadpool movie but now they kind of wrote themselves into a corner since he is no Batman where they don't have to tell his killing of the entire DC Universe because he has many other great stories but Deadpool has a lot of grim adventures which makes me question if they won't tell some of these tales in film then what was the point in making the following.
Hellboy, Ghostrider, Spawn, and Deadpool, it makes no sense really.
Sorry for long rant, Hollywood just frustrates me
Its obvious the directors taking DC's licenses and making these movies only gave their originals a quick glance over and never bothered understanding the finer details of what made the original comics or characters great to begin with just to either sell to fans who feel obligated to see it to state whether its bad or good or use these licenses to make points that feel shoe horned in to sound deeper then it actually is.
