Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)
i loved it!!!!
it was so much fun!!! i loved Joker and Harley's relationship. I thought it was perfect!!! And i loved the story and all the intros to the characters. Waller was so awesome. she's so bada$$!!! Harley was gorgeous and perfect everything i was hoping she would be.
i didnt find it choppy or bad in any way. the enchantress wasn't like the best or anything, but i liked her in the beginning when she was like the normal enchantress. Katana was super cool and bada$$ too.
that was the most fun i had in a comic book movie i think since avengers. all the marvel movies have been super boring to me. i liked gotg but the rest are so boring. i loved that this movie was super fun. it wasnt taking itself too serious and it felt like a comic book. i cant wait to see it again and now i want to buy every HTs figure LoL. although im broke and probably can't afford them, but i will get Harley and i need to get her daddys lil monster tshirt

Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)
So considering that none of the DC movies have any sequels planed besides justice League what we're there plans for a follow up to these solo movies, are we finally going to start seeing them produce 3 movies a year?

I hated Guardians of the Galaxy so if SS is better than I may enjoy it.

Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)
I kinda gave up on this thread but for what it's worth I enjoyed the movie. I didn't follow the production but it feels "tampered with" in the editing and loose plotting.
But I loved most of the characters, even the more background guys.
It's a B movie to the core. As such my only gripes are that they spoiled 90% of the jokes in the (wonderful) trailers and a few cases of Harley and, more often, Flagg sliding around in their accents.

Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)
Just got back from the theater. I took my dad to see the film even though he still hasn't seen BVS...so he was like, "Superman is dead? Batman killed him?"
He liked the cast...especially Smith... and he's not a fan of him. He didn't like the third act with all the CGI...he looses interest when films have too much CGI. Overall, he liked the cast, and that's how I feel too.
Good cast, and good character dynamic, but completely wasted in a mission that doesn't show their particular set of skills, with the exception of Deadshot and Diablo.
As far as Joker goes, he called him a modern Cesar Romero...with a bit of Ledger's voice.
He liked some of the music too, especially the intro and Deadshot's "story."

Actually can't wait to see this to understand what the fuss is about.

Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)
Even though I'm waiting to see SS when it's released on home video it's good to hear people are enjoying it. At least that'll give the studios incentive to take risks on lesser known characters such as Animal Man.

Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)
Variety did a ranking of the best Jokers so far.
https://variety.com/gallery/best-worst-jokers-batman-ranking-jared-leto-heath-ledger/#!7/undefined/
1. Heath Ledger
Maniac. Torture victim. Terrorist. Party host. “The Dark Knight” came out six months after Ledger’s death, but it left no doubt that he was the most audacious actor of his generation. His Joker starts from the place all other Jokers leave off: the sheer fun of sadism. What makes his performance hilarious, and scary, and visionary is the way it shows us the damage behind the fun, and the giggle behind the damage, and the insanity behind that. He’s the first Method supervillain, sucking on his mouth scars, and Ledger plays him like Brando as a psychotic pain freak. He made evil into something mesmerizingly derelict, and timeless.
2. Cesar Romero
Outside of the original comic books, Romero really invented the template — the maniacal cackle, the blissed-out revenge — because, of course, he got there first. And when you consider that it was all part of a high-camp ABC TV series that debuted 50 years ago, it’s easy to feel a touch of awe for how radical and unhinged and gleefully out there Romero’s Joker really was. The actor was nearly 60 when he took on the role, but with eyes just about popping out of his head, he gave the Joker an operatic pizzazz, rolling his “R’s” like the Hollywood Latin lover he once was, speaking in a voice as high-pitched — or maybe just high — on hysteria as his deranged laughter. He set the standard for every Joker to come.
3. Jack Nicholson
It’s not unusual to see a villain steal the show, but Nicholson didn’t just steal Tim Burton’s “Batman.” He stole it, danced on it, ate it for lunch, and came out the other side the way that only the Joker could: smiling! It’s the one “Batman” movie that could have been called, instead, “The Joker,” and Nicholson, pushing the sarcastic lunacy he first perfected in “The Shining” to the extreme breaking point, gave a performance that was pure, exuberant palm-buzzer vaudeville. In Burton’s vision, Batman and the Joker have more in common than they once did — they’re both creatures of the night, driven by the darkness of their obsessions. But it’s Nicholson’s Joker who’s got the bats in his belfry.
4. Mark Hamill
In the far-off days of 1992, it seemed an utterly wack idea: Let’s cast the earnest and slightly mopey Luke Skywalker as … the most gleefully high-on-himself villain in the history of villainy. But Hamill, to a degree no one could have predicted, got in touch with his inner deranged demon-clown. Where a lot of famous actors recede in animated roles, he tapped deep into a hidden side of himself. He has said that his key influences in creating the character were Hannibal Lecter and Jerry Lewis, but at times he sounds like a demented aristocrat out of Noel Coward, and his laugh is like a mood ring — it’s got a hundred shades of crazy. No wonder Hamill has been voicing the Joker ever since — on Batman and Justice League cartoon series, for videogames, and in the recently released version of “The Killing Joke.” Some say he’s the greatest Joker ever, though really, that’s an overreaction to the fanboy novelty of seeing the hero of “Star Wars” flip his lid. But an inspired flip of the lid it is.
5. Jared Leto
If you’re the bad guy in a movie full of bad guys, you’re going to need to bring your demonic “A game,” and that’s just what Leto does — at least, in the early scenes of “Suicide Squad.” He’s the first hip-hop Joker, with dead eyes and a mouth full of silver-capped teeth that turn his menacingly-switched-on-and-off smile into a gangsta grimace. He’s the most coldly homicidal of all Jokers, and also, ironically, the first one to have a girlfriend (Margot Robbie’s psychotic baby doll Harley Quinn). All in all, he’s got a lot on his villainous plate, but the joke is on him: Leto’s steely yet revved performance is just getting started when he’s relegated to the sidelines, where no good Joker should ever be left to laugh alone.
