That is not a contradiction.


I'd rather not, thank you.

Finally going to see this today. It had better not be shit

Well it wasn't shit

Started off and i thought "Ugh..I'm going to hate this" because I think I was ready to pick holes in it and let it irritate me but I decided to just watch it and, for once, not look to pick holes and it actually turned out ok. Not fantastically brilliant but certainly ok.

However ..

Leto's joker was terrible. Just didn't work at all for me. Cara Delevigne can't act. Even the wibbly, wobbly dancing bit at the end made me cringe.

Glad I saw it though.

congratulations. you have the ability to enjoy your life lol

i liked the joker myself, just wasnt in it enough!

I wish all reviews were like this.

I felt your anxiety in the build up and I revelled in your relief at the outcome. Thanks. ...and just in case it isn't clear, I'm not being sarcastic.

Still gonna wait for the DVD though (figure of speech, I'll rent it off the telly). The pictures are expensive these days. Had I read this a month ago, I might just've chanced it.

I sincerely hope the DC rights owned by WB don't extend into Vertigo or they might start buggering up my favourite heroes. None of which belong anywhere near a summer blockbuster.

I'm glad my concise review helped.. heh .

I'm the same though, I do have to pick and choose films nowadays because it's so expensive to go to the cinema. I think this is probably why I waited so long before I eventually saw it as I couldn't quite make my mind up.

Saw it yesterday.

Funny how David Ayer doesn't seem to be mentioned much regarding this. There's always been something too on-the-nose about his films, and the bludgeoning obviousness is more than apparent here. But in truth this is so studio/producer-driven it could be any old journeyman behind the camera really. Most of its bad points have been noted by others, but suffice to say Suicide Squad dearly wants to be different yet can only stumble and clatter between all the usual stools. Minus even Snyder's eye for comic book tableaux, we have an oddly bland, muddily-shot, haphazard mess of a film - the worst DC of recent.

I see it's done well enough not to sink the ship for Warners, but of itself this dithering vessel was clearly in need of much better guidance. What a terrible waste. 4/10

Isn't it madness when you can buy the DVD for less than the price of two of you seeing it at the cinema.

I saw Suicide Squad recently. Whilst I thought it probably doesn't deserve the almost universal bashing from the critics, I was rather underwhelmed. It wasn't as fun as I expected it to be. Harley Quinn was always going to be the star, and I felt Margot Robbie was probably the film's main saving grace. Captain Boomerang was quite fun too.

Not entirely sure what to make of Jared Leto as the Joker, I was largely indifferent to him and his performance throughout.

Other than that, I don't think it was terrible but not as good as I would have hoped. On a completely shallow note, Joel Kinnaman was quite nice to look at, and even nicer to listen to.

Or maybe, it's because some folk actually liked it?

I took it as a light hearted & fun film with a backdrop & lead-up for forthcoming DC films & it did not disappoint me on that front.

I also liked the soundtrack & it's clear that WB/DC have been watching Marvel films & taking notes.

DCs films tend to be darker & more depressing & whilst that has its place, you need an element of humour in superhero films & that's what Marvel does best.

DC have finally learned that, after being scared off by the panning that the admittedly poor Green Lantern got.

It will never be remembered as a classic, but the way some people have talked about, you'd be forgiven for thinking that it was one of the worst films ever to hit the screens & it was far from that.

Urgh how may times do we have to listen to such nonsense?

Here is the thing, some people want a film to be actually good and the best it can be and some people just want "a bit of mindless fun" and ravel in mediocrity.
Sadly Hollywood is predominantly catering to the latter these days and it will never change until people raise their standards.

The thing is, we are all different & expect different things.

What you might consider to be good, others might not & that's just how it is & has nothing to do with your own perceived standards.

The fact that you don't like Suicide Squad doesn't mean anything to the rest of us & does not reflect on Hollywood as a whole or the thoughts & tastes of folk who disagree with you.

By all means criticise a film if you don't like it, but don't patronise other people just because they don't share your opinion.

Again with the nonsense.

No one actually thinks SS is a great film.
Even the people who do like it admit it's somewhat mediocre or severely flawed.
You yourself didn't think it was all that amazing and that is what I'm talking about.

So maybe people with lower standards who don't mind bad films all that much because reasons should stop patronizing people who expect more.

When I go to the movies I wanna see a good film not a "work in progress". Sue me.

Is every opinion that you don't agree with, nonsense?

What is nonsense is to say that no actually thinks SS is a great film, because you haven't met everyone to ask them.

I haven't patronised you (remember, it isn't me calling your opinion nonsense & decrying the whole of Hollywood because they don't meet my 'standards'); I respect your opinon on SS, even if I have different one.

By all means, go & see whatever film you like & don't expect me to sue you anytime soon, because I couldn't care less.

It's nonsense because you argue things beside the point not because I disagree. Although I do that too.

hes a very angry person. best to take his posts with a pinch of salt. you can just iamgine him typing on his keyboard frothing at the mouth lol

"this isnt how it happened in issue #118!"

as for the film its good. enjoyable and had a good cast. its all added up to huge box office numbers. not really much else to be said.

Indeed. Some of the prices a friend of mine has paid to take his two kids to see some films would let you buy a whole case full of DVD's and still have change for a DVD player I imagine

Suicide Squad has officially passed $700 Million Worldwide:

I'd imagine that'll mean a sequel then, although it'll obviously have to come after the solo movies they've mentioned.

Not bad for a film that 'nobody' likes.

no guys you dont understand!

the budget was probably 600m so this film has flopped

loool

So did Amazing Spiderman 2 and Spiderman 3.....

Again...with the condescension.
How often are films truly great? Suicide Squad is liked by many people. So I'd say that it delivers for a lot of people and I think that the studio will make a huge mistake if they value the professional critics' opinions over the cinema going audiences.

I'm sure there are plenty of people like me who paid to watch the film and didn't like it. Probably my own fault for ignoring the critics and deciding to go and pay for it anyway thinking it's Suicide Squad it really can't be as bad as it's being made out to be. But sadly it was every bit as bad, and acually quite boring - that's something I don't hear - it's a boring movie. They made Suicide Squad boring, how the Hell did they manage that??
