toroymoi Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Anyone surprised this is terrible clearly weren't paying attention to the trailers. It was obviously going to be a mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H. Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Yeah, looked like hot garbage since day one when they revealed The Joker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgy Zhukov Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/suicide-squad-rotten-tomatoes-asked-916787 Oh dear. What's next? Accusing Disney of paying off the critics? Nothing to do with Marvel films being of higher quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appetite4illusions Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Got to say, this wasn't as stillborn as every review would want you to believe. I actually enjoyed myself. Then again, I never had high hopes for this film to begin with. But it was passably amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angelica Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) It's not TERRIBLE. Well, (several) parts of it are, but by virtue of it not running 9 hours like every other fucking super hero movie I am inclined to cut it some slack. Robbie is legitimately terrific, although granted it's a nifty role. Leto is not at all terrific but he's also thankfully not in the movie that much. Basically the Squad stuff mostly works but the villain is so unforgivably lame (and miscast) that it's ultimately a great big misfire. But points for being the first of the DC movies to not be actively tedious. Edited August 5, 2016 by Angelica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But points for being the first of the DC movies to not be actively tedious. Saw it last night and you really nailed it. Act One, as you might expect, a bit of a mess. But then it comes together. First and foremost, Margot Robbie owns Harley as much as Downey owns Iron Man, Hemsworth owns Thor, etc. A perfect performance by all measures, mesmerizing. Killer Croc also a highlight. Leto's Joker pretty bad all around but as you say his role surprisingly limited. It would suck for anyone to play the role after Ledger, but no comparison and that's being kind. Villian the other biggest weakness for sure But got to say, and it's in part due to low expectations, by the end I came out loving the flick. Overall, well acted and a hell of a lot of fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 So I watched the movie and I liked it, it is way better than Batman V. Superman. Jared was pretty disappointing to be honest, he reminded me of Jim Carrey somehow. But over all the movie was good, it did not bore me like Batman V. Superman nor it was so long. I would give it 7 or 7.5 out of 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PappyTron Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 So, what was wrong with Leto? I haven't seen the film, but everyone seems to say that Leto was poor, but don't expand on why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I always look forward to super hero movies, so I go and watch them. I hope you take the last seat in the cinema hall cause you are like 7 feet tall and if you sit in the middle or front then the people behind you won't be able to see anything.

He was very pretentious in his performance and the film doesn't leave room to show the definitions of the Joker, so you're just left with him sort of entertaining himself. He cackles, he croons, he waves his hands and gestures emphatically and he tries to look scary. The film failed him and he failed the film. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the opposite of how Robbie handles Harley Quinn. Forget Ledger and Nicholson, Jim Carrey brought more to the table in Batman Forever. Also, Will Smith is fine. It's weird to see him be part of a genuine ensemble. The storyline would still be inherently daft, but it would've been hells more effective if Viola Davis had played Enchantress.

Worse than Jim Carrey? Yikes. Cesar Romero will always be my favourite Joker, at the risk of sounding like a Hipster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I thought West and Romero would grow on me, but reading the comics, they never really brought those characters to life. Conroy and Hammill did 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F*ck Fear Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I watched it tonight and thought it was really well done. It's easily the best film in the new DCEU. As for Leto, well his portrayal of The Joker was good but nothing to write home about. Nicholson and Ledger were both better. I think the reason why so many people have negative views on his performance is because of how Leto and the media have been shoving his method acting down our throats.

moreblack Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Enjoyed it, some whacky stuff going on there. But it mostly worked. Will and Robbie were the best part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leto's Joker not as bad seeing it the 2nd time and they edited out a lot of stuff that might've rounded out the portrayal more. But still far from the highlight the Joker should be.
