As Savage escapes, Zoom places a tracer on his ship. Deadshot visits his estranged daughter Zoe but is forcibly retrieved by Tiger. Next day, Zoom's henchmen kidnap Frost at a gas station. Zoom removes Frost's bomb and convinces her to join him. Zoom lures the Squad into a trap and detonates the bomb. They manage to escape, but Tiger is heavily injured in the blast. Scandal covertly informs Deadshot of Vandal's location, and the Squad infiltrates his lair but are captured.
Savage reveals that he had Pyg surgically implant the card into his chest cavity. He doesn't actually play any part in the main narrative, so that makes the character kind of uninteresting. And another thing, I've been seeing these memes that celebrate Joker and Harley Quinn as some sort anti-hero love story for the ages.
It mentions the loyalty the two have for each other. The Joker indoctrinated Harley Quinn to the point where she can't imagine her life without him. That's not a great love story, that's an abusive relationship. He psychologically manipulates her. And that, to me, is a great story to explore if Quinn gets her own movie, which she should.
But let's not pretend that this isn't anything more than just a manipulative man psychologically breaking down a woman to the point that she can't imagine her life without him.
Again, that's a great story to explore in detail in the future. With that said, I thought Margot Robbie was great here. Though, realistically speaking, her outfit being as revealing doesn't really make any sense. I mean that's Harley, that's what she does. But she's practically half-naked the entire film and I can't see how her outfit is practical in a combat scenario. So I'm not even going at this from the fact that the character was fairly sexual in their portrayal.
It's unrealistic from a fighting standpoint. I mean, I'm not complaining. Margot Robbie is a gorgeous woman. But, enough of that, she was great and she should definitely get her own movie as I think they can tell a great story with her character and her past.
Everyone else is fairly good, no one else really stands out as far as a performer, but they're all very solid. That's about it. There's some fun to be had here in small doses, but the characters are poorly developed, the action is underwhelming and the narrative is lacking in actual direction.
And, even with that, I'd still say that this was an average movie. I can't really recommend it and, as far as I can remember, this might be the worst superhero movie I've seen in a long time. Certainly since the first Thor movie, which was worse than this one. I can't recommend it, but it's gonna appeal to a more casual crowd and that's fine.
Decent movie. Jesse O Super Reviewer. Dec 15, I feel as though the DC Comics franchise may have publicly performed its suicide with this film. What began with a few interesting characters, dragged on into a 40 minute exposition of the film's universe and a census of the overpopulated neighborhood.
Then the big baddie is revealed -- and it makes no sense. The wheels fell off the wagon from there. Absolutely dreadful. Christian C Super Reviewer. Dec 06, So with a disappointing start to their cinematic universe, DC and co looked onward to this major project to turn their fortunes around.
The first Superman venture divided audiences around the world with its dark and gloomy atmosphere, so what could be done? Well DC and co announced a 'Dirty Dozen with supervillains' movie concept with David Ayer at the helm, a director known for dark, gritty, gloomy movies, ah. So that's what we thought we would be getting, following on from 'Man of Steel' with its dark world. But then 'Batman v Superman' happened and things changed, things got lighter, brighter, sillier, more generic.
The dark brooding world of Zack Snyder had taken a bit of a beating from fans, thusly the powers that be decided to change their outlook.
It was time for DC to submit and embrace the Marvel universe, it was time for a Marvelisation of their product. Enter Task Force X, a band of dangerous misfit villains that must work together to complete their undercover black ops mission in order to reduce their prison sentences. At the helm of this Task Force X is her baby and she's not gonna let it fail, the world needs a team to stand up against the possible threat of an evil Superman type villain, and this is it.
How will Waller keep control you ask? Well much like Bob Hauk in 'Escape from New York', Waller has implanted tiny explosive devices in each team members neck. Should any of them think of running off or insubordination, the device will be triggered and their heads will pop.
Because originality was late for work the day they came up with that. So lets meet this team of naughty spawns, role call! This guy is an army special forces Colonel and brought in by Waller to keep control. He's the only team member that isn't a criminal. He's also played in a very bland, boring, generic way by Kinnaman who apparently seems to think of himself as the bee's knees with his annoying southern drawl. It doesn't matter how southern you play him Kinnaman, its not cool.
Next up is the token stereotypically sexualised female character, that just happens to be Harley Quinn in this movie, played by Margot Robbie. So Harley is a girl, a sexy girl with blonde hair and she wears very tight booty shorts over fishnet stockings. Now there's nothing wrong with this of course but Anyway Quinn has a comically large mallet, and a baseball bat and OK there is literally no real reason for Quinn to be in this movie, there I said it.
She's only here because she's basically a very popular character and that's it. When you are going up against a supernatural force, or a super powered alien force, what fucking use is a flirty blonde dressed like a stripper wielding a comically large mallet?? Quinn's love interest the Joker Jared Leto is of course in this movie, mainly because you need him as they included Quinn, can't have one without the other. So much you could say about this incarnation, did I like the look?
No not really, its too gangster, too bling, too punk. This Joker looks like a goth teenage who's runaway from home after being scolded by his parents. I didn't really like his blinged up world, such as the gold dripping from his person in some scenes, his pimped up purple super car, ugh! I quite liked the fact that he's a basically a lowlife mobster, I liked his henchmen in their quirky masks, I liked some of his outfits such as the tuxedo, I liked some of his dialog and deliveries.
Overall Leto's version of the Joker was very mixed for me what little there was of it , not terrible but not exactly what I would have gone with. Next, Deadshot played by Will Smith So its Will Smith which basically means its not Deadshot and don't be expecting to see that classic mask either cos it ain't happening. There was never any chance of the smug Smith covering up his face for the whole film so what we get is essentially Will Smith being Will Smith as he's done in various other action flicks over the years.
Honesty, Smith's performance is no different, he may as well be anyone, its just the same spiel with this guy. Step forward Captain Boomerang played by Jai Courtney. Now this is yet another example of what the flying fuck is this character doing in this film? The guy is basically a crook and that's it! Sure he might be a good crook, a tough crook, an Aussie crook, but he does nothing, he has no powers! He throws some kind of electronic boomerangs that are almost completely ineffectual unless you want some aerial CCTV surveillance.
Yes I can fully admit that Courtney is in fact one of the best performances in the film, its great to have an rough Aussie accent in the film and he's indeed funny. But alas his character is utterly useless, he's a bloke with a bad haircut and facial hair. Straight outta da hood is El Diablo Jay Hernandez , a Latino ex-gang member who is probably the most powerful member on the team Naturally being an ex-gang member from LA you expect lots of inane urban dialog such as 'hommie' and 'homes' etc Deadshot uses this urban dialect when he interacts with him, which is just plain stupid sounding.
His outfit seems to consist of a white vest simple urban street wear and facial tattoo's which are presumably gang related. This guy does little more than mope around refusing to unleash his powers.
When he does its impressive, so much so it renders his human form completely pointless and boring frankly as his fire demon-like form is way more interesting. Should of cast Rick 'Zombie Boy' Genest for this character.
Killer Croc up next played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. Easily the coolest and most intriguing looking character, everything about this guy just makes you wanna know more. Clifford the Big Red Dog November 10, Red Notice November 5, Eternals November 5, Finch November 4, Amina November 4, Army of Thieves October 29, Dune October 22, Halloween Kills October 15, No Time to Die October 8, The Addams Family 2 October 1, After We Fell September 30, The Stronghold September 17, Zone September 3, Free Guy August 13, Crazy Fist August 6, Elba Hobbes and Shaw is the biggest welcomed addition; his character was likely initially intended to be the continuation of Will Smith's Deadshot.
Elba is charismatic and self-effacing and handles the comedy and action with equal measures of confidence. When he loses his patience, or opens up about his hidden phobia, it's even more amusing because of how it contrasts with how naturally suave he is as a default setting. I wasn't missing Will Smith at all with Elba and his natural accent. Robbie Bombshell was born to play Harley Quinn and should hopefully get many more opportunities.
Cena Fast and Furious 9 is so natural at comedy and slides comfortably into a macho blowhard coming into conflict with the other alpha males on the Squad. I loved the simple visual of him strutting around in vacation shorts for a long period of the second act. Viola Davis Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is always excellent and might be the scariest character of them all.
There are many joke characters played by actors firmly in on the tongue-in-cheek game. As a second chance at franchise-making, The Suicide Squad is a brash, bloody, and irreverent retake and the best DCU movie yet from a studio that seems to be throwing anything at the wall to see what potentially sticks. That has its benefits, like allowing Gunn the creative freedom to make a movie this crazy and schlocky and entertaining.
It's a shame, then, that this Squad movie looks like it will make a whopping hundred million less in its opening weekend at the box-office compared to its predecessor.
It may also be a sign that audiences are not terribly interested about a sequel to a movie they didn't really care for five years prior. Beforehand, I would have bet even money that the studio would give a blank check to bring Gunn back for more after he fulfills Guardians of the Galaxy volume 3 for Marvel, but maybe that's not the case.
Maybe The Suicide Squad will be more of an entertaining one-off than the start of a new direction for this lagging franchise. Regardless, if anything good came of Disney firing Gunn on dubious terms, it's the existence of this movie in the interim for the in-demand filmmaker. While not everything works in The Suicide Squad, and the emotional depth is sacrificed for giddy gory bombast, it's what you would hope for with the combination of James Gunn, wacky superheroes, and a commitment to an R-rating.
Nate Z Super Reviewer. The very fact that this film even exists just baffles me. When Suicide Squad hit theatres back in , I really wasn't a fan. I enjoyed nearly all of the characters, but I felt they deserved a much better film. It was a jumbled mess and therefore tainted any need to rewatch it. Once Warner Bros. Serving as both a very loose sequel to the previous installment, while also being a reboot in itself, this is the best film based on DC Comics to come out in a while.
If you haven't seen the original film, they do a good job getting you up to speed in the first act. The opening of the film lets you know that Amanda Waller Viola Davis is still continuing her Suicide Squad projects, pulling people in and out of prison to do her dirty work. Within minutes of starting, the film ramps up by delivering a very surprising action sequence that really caught me off guard. From there, the film is both funny, emotional, and extremely entertaining from start to finish.
This is easily one of the best examples I've ever seen from a major studio that fixes its old mistakes. Before I start gushing about how good this film truly is, I'll get a few very small negatives out of the way. As soon as the second act begins, the film definitely begins to feel its length a bit.
I wasn't fully invested in the side story involving Harley Quinn Margot Robbie , but where that story ends up was worth it, so that complaint sort of fizzled itself out eventually. Still, the pacing in the second act could've been a little tighter. On top of that, even though this isn't a complaint of mine, people who ended up loving the previous film will probably not get too much enjoyment here if they're looking for something similar.
I can see people thinking this one is far too weird and bizarre in comparison. Again, those aren't my thoughts, but more of a heads up.
I could go on for a very long time about what to praise about The Suicide Squad, but I'll keep it brief. The shock factor alone sold me from the very beginning. There are surprises sprinkled throughout the entire film and I hardly saw any of them coming.
Their presence made the film infinitely better than it already would have been. The climax of the movie feels absolutely bonkers but also earned. Even cast members like John Cena and Joel Kinneman deliver career-best performances here. Overall, from the quirky dialogue to the pure fun that James Gunn brings to all of these films, I found my eyes glued to the screen. Nearly everything about this film felt like an improvement on the last. Again, I feel that a couple of scenes in act two could've been shorter or cut out, but I'm honestly scraping the bottom of the barrel to find things I didn't like.
The Suicide Squad is a wacky, fun, and absolutely eccentric ride at the movies and I can't recommend it enough. I will say this though; take the words "wacky" and "eccentric" very seriously and then have another look at the trailer.
If you don't think it's for you, that's because it's not. This movie embraces its R-rating and is simply a blast. If you know what type of film this is and are already interested, I'm pretty confident you'll love it as I did.
