DC still hasnt quite got it right and the recent developments have divided the fandom, and that is the real issue with them and with Marvel. Bad year overall for hero films, imho. It isnt the film's fault, but thinking oversaturation, the pandemic and lot of divisive moves by film companies have cost them at the ticket booth.
@@nectarinedreams7208 lol well i just never imagined bundy being into it......and in a sea of 1 billion youtube accounts, he might as well be a mythical creature. but hey man...thanks for the chuckle. much appreciated
Just watched the movie last weekend, I loved it. Great story, good gore, solid cast, superb writing, and wonderful direction by James Gunn. Better than the first movie in every single way.
Loved this movie. A lot of fun and very likable characters. So glad to see a comic book movie actually accept its comic bookness and go full in on the weirdness
It isnt really. Nobody knows who these people are, they killed them, so no investment was necessary. Suicde Squad 1 was bad, but Will Smith was why people came to see the movie - even if Cena and Elba had the best lines ... just no investment in it, and nobodyh was willing to risk going to see it due to the pandemic. Then there was streaming -just a bad timing and a film that didnt really know what it wanted to be. This was good for some, and so-so for others.
@@SuperOmnicronsj44 What do you mean by “no investment”? Sure these are obscure characters, but the film does a perfect job of establishing them and getting you invested in their journeys.
i know they probably officially said its taking a lot from the original comic but just wanna say its taking a lot more from the 2011 comic since noone else is mentioning it
"Contains Minor Spoilers" ??? He gives a DETAILED plot summary, and show bits of scenes from all over the film. I've already seen it, but that might bother others. Good review of a film that is wonderful fun.
I had an issue with Capaldi's Thinker character. He didnt seem to have ANY super powers. He wasnt a well done bad guy.He had a bunch of weird tubes protruding from his skull for no reason. Theydidnt increase his intelligence at all. Also there was a moment when he claimed "only he could control the creature", but clearly could not at the end. Imo the strength of a film is the conflict between the heroes and the villains. They were NOt equal to each other, so the tension was lacking at the end.
I do wish Capt Boomerang got a different fate in the movie. I liked his character in this movie more than I liked him in the previous film. But it is what it is.
I didn't think it was much better than the first one. Still full of choppy editing, it jumps all over the place and the time skips are just gimmicky at this point. I still can't believe it cost 185 mill. Half of the film looked like second unit footage. It wasn't horrible but it def wasn't a win.
Bloodsport, Rick Flag and Milton are my favourites. But all characters are amazing. I can watch this flick over and over again. Hope more studios take risks like this. It's good for the growth of the genre.
That box office was tepid. The Suicide Squad cost way too much to make. Blame the pandemic , major flop for DC AGAIN. SAD as it was a good film, but who was really asking for a Sequel to a film people passed on. They droppped the ball on marketing imho.
It was a very very well filmed, visually interesting, really nice coloured but ultimately generic movie that felt it had to had all the bullet points from Deadpool. No time to breathe in scenes just jump from trying-too-hard comedy to over the top gore for no reason at all. A step in the right direction for this type of movie, but a step too late. Makes me wonder what would've happened if Gunn was allowed to make Guardians 3 instead.
i think the suicide squad should have a different team with each movie... and that the surviving characters should get a chance to appear in different movies. like bloodsport should be in a superman movie and kingshark in an aquaman movie and ratcatcher in a batman movie
After this box office, doubtful a SS 3 is coming ... wouldnt mind SS v Justice League or Justice League Dark, though. Gunn should take time off to get this thing right - box office was horrible.
>He was first offered Superman, but chose Suicide Squad. Holy shit, bullet dodged on that one. Gunn: I was draw to the original comics because it was about a bunch of losers. Translation: The five minute Wiki summary someone gave me about the original material was interesting. (pretending that he read or respects the original material while butchering Waller is such a shitty move)
Yeah, I agree. It was definitely easy to watch unlike the last one, but it's more of a case of chocolate ice cream after having eaten a bucket of shit. Even the lowest grade chocolate ice cream will taste great after a bucket of shit. Not hating on the film or anything, I just think the movie business is full of people green lighting crap and middle of the road stuff gets more praise than it should because of that.
It’s a fine movie, but I was a little bit underwhelmed after seeing all the glowing reviews. Especially the action scenes weren’t that great I think. Mostly the usual shootouts and the finale felt like the studio had the final say.
Yes. Once the credits rolled at the end of the film, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. I think you've successfully helped me understand why. The final fight scene was bog standard Hollywood and I really didn't like the whole starfish aspect. Like someone shat in your dessert during an otherwise delicious full course meal.
I cant put this into the correct words to get across, but here goes. I love the use of colour in this film, the way it stands out in places really ties it to its comic roots.
It was a good movie but aside from Polka Dot Mans mother the comedy parts just didn't hit right. I caught all the queues that I'm supposed to laugh and think the part was funny but for me it felt like the same old cliche cheap generic and predictable comedy and as a comedy enthusiast I don't like to give away free laughs. The movie kept me entertained there wasn't too many long drawn out boring scenes and unlike so many other movies I wasn't begging for it to end.
While I don't think it's as funny as GoTG, I do think Gunn did some neat things- especially with some of these maniacs' mental states. The first half is really strong and feels unpredictable (like Deadpool). But the second half gets more generic and conventinal (like Deadpool). Solid fun, but not the second coming critics are making it out as. Being better than the first one isn't exactly some grand feat. 7/10
It could have been easy to do the 1st one right if the had stuck the original story 'Assault on Arkham', which the clearly copied parts of then cocked it up. If anyone want's to see what the 1st film should have been, then watch the animated and adult Batman: Assault on Arkham.
Question (i know nothing about almost all these characters or DC comics in general) - Rat Catcher - her sleepiness is a side effect of her ability to control rats?
Say what you will about the reviews, but I was stoked we got a feel good movie worth searching over and over! Nowadays, there's few movies I can say are worth doing that anymore!
The movie had all the elements to be great, but the plot was really lame. I was entertained visually and comedically, but my expectations storywise were higher. I don´t expect some Nolan or Villeneuve interconnected, philosophical stuff, but a plot that isn´t Team-Objective-HugeAlienBattle.
This is the best DCEU Harley so far. Peacemaker and Polka-Dot Man were fantastic. King Shark and Ratcatcher 2 are so lovable. James Gunn is fantastic at balancing humor, emotion, and action.
Aquaman, Shazam and Man of Steel would disagree - so would their box office take. A sad misfire but it was good - the hero genre is ending unfortunately .. blame pandemic, blame oversaturation, blame a lot of things - shouldve done MUCH better in my opinion. No way is it the best DCEU film. They are still very inconsistent. This was.a fresh change, but the R rating did it no favors.
Had a good time with both - this was good, but still not doing anything at the box office and it cost too much to make. The marketing was atrocious and Harley Quinn is not a lead. Gunn should take a break from the genre and get back to horror.
I thought it was juvenile and low brow. The clichés were super apparent and the tonal shifts seem to come from a schizophrenic, attention deficit disordered mind. Tarantinoesque slow mo team walking while misuse of Pixies song made me want to leave but i stayed. Horrendously terrible bullet time slomo while we have 50 cuts during a hand to hand fight scene is the epitome of dredfulness. Harley is black widow her de dur. I just love the surrealostic harley farting flowers, so engaging. I fucking hated it.
Eh, it was a solid B-. Everything is turning into Deadpool now. Cute little quips, curse, gore, repeat. Still I don't feel like I wasted my time and wasn't preached to, so that's a win.
I see that you have a spoiler warning in the description, but just a heads up that I watch a lot of RUclips on my TV, and video descriptions aren't available there. Maybe add the warning to the title or the thumbnail too for those people who aren't watching on their phone or laptop etc. Otherwise, keep up the good work. 😎👍
The plot to the movie is very similar to The Guns Of Navarone, where British and American Commandos try to knock out a Nazi fortress housing 2 Radar Controlled Guns
I enjoyed it, but I have two things to complain about. First - after around one hour mark the movie kind of retreats into being a more or less straightforward superhero film. Yes, the final battle is bizarre and creative, but I think that if there were FORCED to fight that giant monster instead of choosing to, it would work better. Maybe not forced by Amanda Waller, but, let's lay, Starro would destroy they "ride" home and there was no other way to leave the island, and if the monster weren't defeated US would nuke the entire island. Just to keep that idea that ultimately they are asshole and random rejects doing what's best in their own interests, and not having that obvious "we decided that we are heroes now" moment. Second - I don't really like the character of Harley Quinn. Or, rather, she feels like a book with first chapters of it ripped off. Her relationship with the Joker and her being an antagonist to Batman were never explored. We are TOLD all those things at best. It like they would make Teen Titans movie, and Robin would barely mention Batman.
@@JackWolf10 I am not talking this movie in particular. I am saying that Harley Quinn character in DCEU lacks the necesssary context. It' doesn't matter for other characters, their whole gimmick in this movie is that they are bizarre obscure characters nobody knows about, but Harley Quinn is a tad different, she feels like we skipped parts of her character arc. Like, imagine if Iron Man only appeared in Infinity War as is, without being developed before in his solo movies and previous Avengers movies.
Really wanted to like it but it was just boring, badly paced and stupid...Did not help they got Back Robbie as Harley which I dispise. Bloodshot and PeaceMaker were entertaining but overall the whole Film was a disappointment
I don’t get the positive reviews. The plot is overdone and boring. I didn’t find it funny and the villains are stupid. I wanted to love it but is was mainly average. 5/10 for me. John cena sucks
I don't think Gunn is funny at all and I think he uses comedy as a screen to hide behind. >no bro you can't criticize that dramatic scene for not landing I made it a joke at the end!
I can’t believe they made this movie. Suicide Squad (2016) was terrible, seriously bad, one of the worst movies I ever saw. The Suicide Squad uses some of the same characters, and others are just ‘replacements’ (ie Killer Croc/King Shark and Deadshot/Bloodsport). It’s makes no sense that a movie studio would invest millions in making a movie that seems to be trying to replicate large parts of another movie that bombed so hard
There aren’t as many returning characters as it seems. The film has a lot of misdirection and most of our protagonists are completely different. It’s far removed from the original.
Boring movie even with all of the action. Characters that are not likeable... plot that is straight forward and stupid and as too many flashbacks... bad CGI....and last but not least PRETEEN HUMOR. Seriously you need to have the humor of Beavis and Butthead to enjoy this one. Most overrated movie of the year. This made mortal kombat look good.
I thought it was crap the first half hour was funny but after that it was really unfunny and lame. The happy ending made me feel ill thought I was watching a Disney cartoon.
I went on opening day and I have preorder for 4k. Its a 8/10 with ease. The problem is this went online way too soon and gave no reason to go see it on the big screen......oh, and the pirate copies went through the roof the moment it dropped. Its such a shame that a film that people love, will now no doubt end with this one, well, unless a miracle happens worldwide.
Your Right it is a breath of fresh Air! So much Fun compared to the OG! They really did let James Gunn just go & do what he's best at! And that's making... Crazy Fun Action Comedic Ensemble Cast With the right actors etc!! Oh and what about A Dance off between The Peacemaker vs Zimo lol 😆 😂 🤣
As one of the few people who loved the first film, this was Grossly disappointing. Weirdness and frat boy humor tied together with lazy plot. We NEED The Ayer Cut
I have not seen it yet, but I have a buddy who has walked out of previous superhero movies, and he called me and raved about it for fifteen minutes. Sounds like a genuine winner.
Seems the movie bombed according to studio's expectations. But no one is talking about that it may well be because we are tired of the WOKENESS in today's PRODUCTS (not movies). Seems they are made in a program that writes the scripts checking the proper boxes but leaving out the heart of a story! I for one will not watch any movies until I see HollyWOKE really giving up IPs, SJ, PCs and going back to making real MOVIES!
The trailer was awful - looked like an over the top annoying cringe humor crap. It is actually way better than this although it has its flaws. It is too long. Some scenes are too predictable and it feels like you are watching Guardians of the Galaxy again (use of the old songs, humor oh and well actors). Shockingly for me - Harley Quinn is the weakest link of the chain here. It is quite obvious she was forced in because fans love her but she was just getting too much attention and I found most of her scenes to be trying too hard to be cool and edgy. I wanted to see more of the other new characters (Spoiler whose deaths are treated really weird) overall the mood of the film is very up and down in some places. All in all it is a fun movie and step up for DC but I wont be watching it agin anytime soon.
I never thought I would say this, but I think I had more fun with the 2016 film. The extended cut that is. But strangely I think the first movie benefited from being so awkward and rough around the edges. This one feels so calculated. The violence is tiresome, the jokes are unbearably unfunny and run into the ground EVERY SINGLE TIME (only subtle joke in the whole film is that The Thinker has less antennas in his head when he is young and nobody comments on it, as with every other joke). I wanted to like this so bad, but right from the moment when Robbie reacts to the death of Flula Borg, I knew we were in trouble. She is terribly written compared to her other appearances, Idris Elba is fun for 5min, then goes back to being the super cool, stoic tough guy and John Cena was never as unfunny as here. I think the success of "Guardians Of The Galaxy" (the first one, which I enjoyed a lot) broke James Gunn. Everything I've seen or heard from him since was pretty awful. I miss the days of "Tromeo & Juliet", "Slither" and "Super", he would work so much better on a low- to midbudget level. :-(

The first team don’t ESCAPE. They get massacred.
I enjoyed it, but I have two things to complain about.
First - after around one hour mark the movie kind of retreats into being a more or less straightforward superhero film. Yes, the final battle is bizarre and creative, but I think that if there were FORCED to fight that giant monster instead of choosing to, it would work better. Maybe not forced by Amanda Waller, but, let's lay, Starro would destroy they "ride" home and there was no other way to leave the island, and if the monster weren't defeated US would nuke the entire island. Just to keep that idea that ultimately they are asshole and random rejects doing what's best in their own interests, and not having that obvious "we decided that we are heroes now" moment.

Her relationship with the Joker and her being an antagonist to Batman were never explored. We are TOLD all those things at best. It like they would make Teen Titans movie, and Robin would barely mention Batman.
Because them being forced is the whole premise of the suicide squad 🤦🏻♀️ you want them to be good hearted super heroes 😂
@@MajinTar wut
@@MajinTar Learn to read idiot.
Why would they explore her relationship with Joker or Batman if it’s completely irrelevant to the story?
@@JackWolf10 I am not talking this movie in particular.
I am saying that Harley Quinn character in DCEU lacks the necesssary context. It' doesn't matter for other characters, their whole gimmick in this movie is that they are bizarre obscure characters nobody knows about, but Harley Quinn is a tad different, she feels like we skipped parts of her character arc. Like, imagine if Iron Man only appeared in Infinity War as is, without being developed before in his solo movies and previous Avengers movies.
Really wanted to like it but it was just boring, badly paced and stupid...Did not help they got Back Robbie as Harley which I dispise. Bloodshot and PeaceMaker were entertaining but overall the whole Film was a disappointment
I don’t get the positive reviews. The plot is overdone and boring. I didn’t find it funny and the villains are stupid. I wanted to love it but is was mainly average. 5/10 for me. John cena sucks
I don't think Gunn is funny at all and I think he uses comedy as a screen to hide behind.
>no bro you can't criticize that dramatic scene for not landing I made it a joke at the end!
I hope the next part is called "Suicide Squad", and the sequel to that is called "Suicide Squad".
Good to have met you on Saturday. Ive subscribed and look forward to seeing your stuff.
RIP Flula. 😥
I can’t believe they made this movie. Suicide Squad (2016) was terrible, seriously bad, one of the worst movies I ever saw. The Suicide Squad uses some of the same characters, and others are just ‘replacements’ (ie Killer Croc/King Shark and Deadshot/Bloodsport). It’s makes no sense that a movie studio would invest millions in making a movie that seems to be trying to replicate large parts of another movie that bombed so hard
There aren’t as many returning characters as it seems. The film has a lot of misdirection and most of our protagonists are completely different. It’s far removed from the original.
I watched the first suicide squad for the first time 2 weeks ago (god awful). I can’t bring myself to watching the new one.
Was never a fan of James Gunn but I am now.
Boring movie even with all of the action. Characters that are not likeable... plot that is straight forward and stupid and as too many flashbacks... bad CGI....and last but not least PRETEEN HUMOR.
Seriously you need to have the humor of Beavis and Butthead to enjoy this one.
Most overrated movie of the year. This made mortal kombat look good.
AGREED.
Preteen humor iS really a problem here. I dont like Deadpool because of it and this is same.
I thought it was crap the first half hour was funny but after that it was really unfunny and lame. The happy ending made me feel ill thought I was watching a Disney cartoon.
I went on opening day and I have preorder for 4k. Its a 8/10 with ease.
The problem is this went online way too soon and gave no reason to go see it on the big screen......oh, and the pirate copies went through the roof the moment it dropped.
Its such a shame that a film that people love, will now no doubt end with this one, well, unless a miracle happens worldwide.
Your Right it is a breath of fresh Air! So much Fun compared to the OG! They really did let James Gunn just go & do what he's best at! And that's making... Crazy Fun Action Comedic Ensemble Cast With the right actors etc!! Oh and what about A Dance off between The Peacemaker vs Zimo lol 😆 😂 🤣
Love this movie
Seems like it's Promising I'll Check it out though I don't Harley Quinn
Robot chicken Starro episode: The movie
As one of the few people who loved the first film, this was Grossly disappointing. Weirdness and frat boy humor tied together with lazy plot. We NEED The Ayer Cut
By few you mean a team of 1 😂
Jesus Christ if you like that piece of shit you got issues
Good movie.
I liked it
I have not seen it yet, but I have a buddy who has walked out of previous superhero movies, and he called me and raved about it for fifteen minutes. Sounds like a genuine winner.
Seems the movie bombed according to studio's expectations. But no one is talking about that it may well be because we are tired of the WOKENESS in today's PRODUCTS (not movies). Seems they are made in a program that writes the scripts checking the proper boxes but leaving out the heart of a story! I for one will not watch any movies until I see HollyWOKE really giving up IPs, SJ, PCs and going back to making real MOVIES!
Piracy is also a reason
The trailer was awful - looked like an over the top annoying cringe humor crap. It is actually way better than this although it has its flaws. It is too long. Some scenes are too predictable and it feels like you are watching Guardians of the Galaxy again (use of the old songs, humor oh and well actors). Shockingly for me - Harley Quinn is the weakest link of the chain here. It is quite obvious she was forced in because fans love her but she was just getting too much attention and I found most of her scenes to be trying too hard to be cool and edgy. I wanted to see more of the other new characters (Spoiler whose deaths are treated really weird) overall the mood of the film is very up and down in some places.
All in all it is a fun movie and step up for DC but I wont be watching it agin anytime soon.
This movie was nothing but over the top annoying cringe jokes
I enjoyed this film, much better than the first suicide squad movie thats for sure. Awesome review oliver
I never thought I would say this, but I think I had more fun with the 2016 film. The extended cut that is. But strangely I think the first movie benefited from being so awkward and rough around the edges. This one feels so calculated. The violence is tiresome, the jokes are unbearably unfunny and run into the ground EVERY SINGLE TIME (only subtle joke in the whole film is that The Thinker has less antennas in his head when he is young and nobody comments on it, as with every other joke). I wanted to like this so bad, but right from the moment when Robbie reacts to the death of Flula Borg, I knew we were in trouble. She is terribly written compared to her other appearances, Idris Elba is fun for 5min, then goes back to being the super cool, stoic tough guy and John Cena was never as unfunny as here. I think the success of "Guardians Of The Galaxy" (the first one, which I enjoyed a lot) broke James Gunn. Everything I've seen or heard from him since was pretty awful. I miss the days of "Tromeo & Juliet", "Slither" and "Super", he would work so much better on a low- to midbudget level. :-(
