Re: DC's "Suicide Squad" (August 5th, 2016)

So for those who have watched the film..is the Harley from HT worth getting? :dunno, how about Deadshot, Joker maybe not so much right since the lack of footage on him
I have them all on pre-order. But I can see waiting for Joker if you want but Harley and Deadshot are definite pick ups.
 
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?! :rock

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.

:peace
Glad you enjoyed it. I can't wait to see it again.

Seeing the film for the 4th time tomorrow. It's weird that the movie seems to get better and better the more I watch it. Not many movies have that effect.

Really liked Katana and Diablo. Yeah I wished Scott had a bigger role.

Katana was cool, but completely worthless. Cut her out and NOTHING would have changed. Some body guard. The squad saved Flagg ever time, never her. Her sword was useful during the final fight but she directly didn't accomplish anything. She was the Indiana Jones in Raiders of the film :lol

That's not true. Indy efficiently found the ark for the Nazis.

Saw this on facebook just now. Seems like a reaction to this current obsession with generational generalising

I wasn't suggesting that not liking SS is a millennial thing. As I've said it's a goofy movie with prominent shortcomings. If you aren't into the characters or overall vibe then the shortcomings will be magnified causing many to dislike it. I think this will just be one of those movies where those who liked it will enjoy it again and again over the years while those who didn't will never understand why.

I thought liking this was a millennial thing, after all, it was marketed for millennials and below :lol

I really like this outfit. I bet HT is going to release Harley in the jester costume and Mr J in this tux.
