Yikes, yeah no thank you.
Jesus, leave Conroy and Hamill for the animated series stuff, they don't work for almost anything else.

Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)
My sister saw this last night and she said she like it for the most part but she didn't like how they made the joker gay. I was like, "what are you talking about? He's not gay.". Then she argued with me for a half hour about it. I haven't seen the movie myself but according to her he acts very effeminate, showing off his jewelry, sitting on people's laps. I guess in her mind that makes him gay, lol.

A very cool ripple effect of Batman's moral code that manifested in Suicide Squad:
So Batman sparing the Joker's life and rescuing Harley literally saved the entire planet. It all comes back to him. That's cool.
A very cool ripple effect of Batman's moral code that manifested in Suicide Squad:
Batman doesn't kill Joker and instead delivers him to the police. Joker "creates" Harley Quinn. Batman saves Harley from drowning, delivers her to the authorities and she later joins Task Force X. Harley's lecture to Diablo makes him realize that there is no reality where he could live a "normal life" with wife and kids. Enchantress plants a vision into everyone's minds to subdue them, including Diablo who she reveals a perfect family life to. Remembering Harley's words he rejects the vision, breaks the spell, and allows everyone to come together to defeat Incubus and then Enchantress.

I like a "gay" joker...it's very TDKReturns. Plus he makes people uneasy...unless it's James Bond from Skyfall

Yeah I took the Joker as straight but with effeminate quirks as part of the mind games he was constantly playing with people.

I don't think the joker really has a sexual preference.
He's just a sadist and doesn't care if the person involved is male or female.

Some say Joker is asexual, but I've never given it too much thought. I don't really want to think about Joker's sexual preference or sex life That's one of the reason I've never been a fan of the Joker and Harley "relationship." Having a girlfriend is something a normal person does...even Batman doesn't have time for that, and he's not as crazy as Joker. Traditionally, Joker just uses Harley and takes advantage of her devotion to him, so it's not a normal relationship, but in this film Joker really seems to like Harley. I get a Bride of Frankenstein vibe from SS because Joker kind of creates her because he wants a companion...someone like him to play with. It's not...bad, but less kissing would be nice.

I didn't see anything indicating Joker was gay. He does tell Harley he's ready for some action. As far as this movie's concerned he's straight.

So for those who have watched the film..is the Harley from HT worth getting?
, how about Deadshot, Joker maybe not so much right since the lack of footage on him

Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)
I was ready to not enjoy this movie, but I did. It was definitely more entertaining than MoS and BvS.
I wasn't a huge fan of Deadshot and Harley dominating the film, but that was to be expected. Having Harley use Katana's sword to save the day was pretty lame. Why not just let Katana kill Enchantress? It was just like "showbiz" getting in the way of telling the story. They could've just as easily given Harley an edged weapon in her toolbox, if they needed to have her deliver the final blow at the end.
Anyways, it wasn't depressing like the other films so that's a plus.

Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)
That's my take. But I wasn't counting the seconds people were onscreen or reading about deleted scenes ahead of time to properly lament their absence.
As usual...

Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)
Finally saw this movie tonight.
Some quick thoughts...
Did I enjoy it: Yes!
Would I happily watch it again: Yes.
The Joker: Leto did well with how he was asked to work within the story. With him not being an active antagonist in the main story it's hard to judge him against past Joker's. He's bascially the catalyst that drives Harley's back story throughout the movie and offers her an escape route in the present timeline. It lefting me wanting to see more of him as the main villian in future movies.
Likes:
*Deadshot - past and present. Will Smith delivered.
*Harley - She's a love her or you're content with her sort of character. I thought she was great. Margot owned that character.
*End fight - Reminded me of the Ghostbusters vs Gozer. I'm not comparing the two, I just got the same vibes. The fight against Enchantress in her free Witch form was cool.
*The bar scene - could have watched that for another good 5-10 minutes easily, some good character building there. Seems like that scene was shortened?...
*Music - for me it all worked, none of it felt out of place and Kanye showing up made that Deadshot scene even better.
*I like that the main part of the movie played out in one location over a short amount of time - it felt contained.
*Mid-credits scene - Bruce Wayne, need I say more?!
Whilst not a major dislike I didn't care for the brother; design wise or role really. Might have been cooler if Enchantress had some co-demons or something as backup. It's hard to judge villains these days as between Marvel & DC it seems like they have a hard time delivering something that could be considered a great villain.
Overall score - 7.5/10. Although I've given movies 8/9's before and never watched them again. Suicide Squad is one of those fun movies that would be an fun and easy watch from time to time.

Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)
The failure of this movie happens because...
1. Depending on Will Smith's charisma to carry almost the whole thing. Remove Will Smith and this is a flop.
2. The mission was too big for this group. You could sort of get away with it in Guardians of the Galaxy, but not here. Most of these guys are just regular people grossly underqualified to handle this threat.
3. Overhyped Joker. His performance was not derranged/funny enough. It was more psychotic/scary gangster. Not enough range from what I saw here. Also, Joker being in love with Harley to the point where he is risking everything just makes him weak and very non-Joker.
4. Chopping editing and lack of flow. After the characters leave for the mission is just stuff happening with no clear flow. Then the end does a Ghostbusters to close a portal/beam in the sky/etc. as we have seen many times.
My idea: The Suicide Squad had to go on a regular mission to take out a bad guy on a foreign country that may have a metahuman assisting him. The board meeting scene sets up the possibility that other nations are rounding metas...but that never pays off here. When the Suicide Squad gets to their location they should encounter a team that is just like them. Give fans others characters from DC for them to fight. Mercenaries like Deathstroke or some obscure bad guys. Have your own Civil War of sorts. That's a better movie.
Basically, Amanda creates her own villain like Tony Stark did in AoU.
This gets a 6/10 from me. Without Will Smith this is easily a 4/10.

2nd viewing today, and it was still awesome!!
Took my wife with me this time, who is not a comic book fan. And she loved it!
She liked the Joker which I was afraid she wouldn't. She said he was great and was very intense on screen.
She liked the introduction bit where it shows how some of the got caught and maybe they should have shown how the others got caught as well.
The film is very fast pacing, I can't believe it's a 2 hour film, feels a lot less.
I will recommend this to my mates and will go and see it for the third time.
