"we need a team in case another alien like Superman comes along" This is where I checked out completely. How is the Suicide Squad going to stop someone like Superman? How the fuck is Harley Quinn with a baseball bat going to fight subdue Superman?
+AshXXMayftw And just when I started to forget about the steaming pile of dog shit that was Fantastic 4 (the newest one) they had to remind me yet again😡
I fucking predicted that somebody was going to say that stupid fucking line like in fantastic 4. It was like the planets fucking aligned when I heard that the movie was already having problems before it even came out. Summer blockbusters need to stop, or get not as shitty.
Martin is completely right on this one. By the third act this completely falls apart. There is no explanation why they formed the team, why they are even there. Harley Quinn was originally a part of the squad because of her knowledge of Arkham. Why in the hell would they send her and Boomerang against these powerful beings.
+Plugged Scope I guess you haven't even seen Civil War. DCEU is pumping out some garbage movies with great charcters in them. ANd yes, BvS and MOS are the definitive CGI shitshows. At least when Marvel does CGI it looks good
Assault on Arkham is a much better movie. Having the Joker be the main villain makes much more sense, because then they actually have a reason to have Harley on the team.
I had more fun with this review than I had with the movie. Thank you Doable Toasted team for being as brutally honest as you always are, this is why I watch you guys.
This movie should've been all about the Joker. It would've been more focused for starters, and it could've given a good reason for the Suicide Squad to be created. Not as a group that will fight super beings (which is beyond idiotic). But to actually fight Joker because of a certain grudge they hold against him, maybe they have bad history with him. And of course Harley Quinn is chosen because they think she hates him for what he did to her, not knowing she's completely brain washed and in love with him, which will fuck things up in the end. Might not be the best idea ever, but at least it would be coherent.
you're right the joker was pointless in this movie. And the writing was just too bad to tell if leto is a good joker. Also why did he shock harley? Just to make her crazier? If she's so obsessed with joker, wouldn't she just let him shock her without the goons capturing her?
+astoriasky I know it was never apart of the cinematic universe it was suppose to revive the batman brand and it did that but also told a phenomenal Batman story but it's still hard for me to look at how great those movies were and then look at everything else after and wonder what the fuck happened.
I went from excited about this movie thinking it would probably get above 80% on Rotten Tomatoes (judging by the excitement in the trailers)...to being MORE excited about hearing Double Toasted shit on it. The best Double Toasted (and Spill) Reviews are for the worst movies...whether it be Independence Day: Resurgence or Oogie Loves. "Just give me that OOGIE LOVE!" -Spill
The movie had a few decent moments but i agreee it fell apart at the end the enchantress was a cool effect at first but the more they kept showing of her was worse and when she was belly dancing me and my friends laughed so hard, its a low matinee the good parts are decent the bad parts hilarious its a good time with friends entertaining but flawed
Jake Sanderson just like your comment. Before you say, 'my opinion blah blah'. How about posting your opinion after the movie is actually released? Seriously i think people and critics does more damage to the movie than the bad plot itself.
Ulquiorra Schiffer1 I did see it. Ever hear of late night Thursday showings? The film itself does more damage because it was bad thanks to the editing and CGI heavy ending battle that had no tension or emotion.
It's a shame this movie fell apart. When I saw the first trailer to this I thought it was gonna be DCs Guardians of the Galaxy, which is one of my favorite comic book movies. And this was one of my most anticipated DC movie, even more so after BVS completely bombed.
It doesn't even make much sense why Amanda Waller thinks the Suicide Squad can fight Superman. Most of them aren't even metahumans. Only Enchantress, El Diablo, and Killer Croc are metahumans. I guess you could count Katana too since she has a magic sword. Superman would flatten them in half a second. And before you say that Superman is vulnerable to magic, they don't know that in the DCEU. Superman hasn't fought any magical villains so they have no idea that magic can hurt him. And even if he's vulnerable to magic, he's still Superman. He's not just going to stand there and let Katana cut him with her sword. If he turned evil, he could just melt her down with his heat vision from a mile away.
Enchantress could take Superman as her specialty is magic. (SPOILER>>) The only reason she was defeated in the movie was because of Harley's manipulation skill, she has learned from the best (Joker)
MrCenation132546 Batman won because he had Kryptonite and Superman wasn't trying to kill him. And he was killed by a Kryptonian monster who was way more powerful than the Suicide Squad combined. Amanda Waller's reasoning for creating the Suicide Squad is to fight someone with Superman's power who was evil. If Superman was evil, he could just kill the entire Suicide Squad from miles away with his heat vision.
Weiss Schnee Amanda Waller wasn't even able to control the Enchantress and she became the villain. It's kind of pointless to have a weapon that will turn on you and destroy the world.
I just want the DC movies to be good, and they keep finding new ways to screw it up. Aquaman's probably going to be doing motorcycle jumps at the bottom of the ocean at this rate.
no shut up that sounds rad as shit i want aquaman to underwater motorcycle jump some sharks But for real, I am disappointed that this movie doesn't seem to be that good, 'cause I love me some Suicide Squad, and I had subdued hopes that this could break the current trend with DC movies post Nolan-Batman. I'm still cautiously optimistic about Wonder Woman, but I hate that I have to be cautious about it because I fucking LOVE Wonder Woman. Of course, it'll never be perfect, because it's coming out in a time after Lucy Lawless could player her, but I'll always have Xena I guess...
Have you seen SS? Also how do you define good? 6/10 is technically good and most people agree BvS UE is minimum that. Being disappointed does not equal terrible film. Same thing with MoS and SS it seems.
6/10 is the same as 60%. Thats simply passing. "Good" would be 8/10. The movie has entertaining parts but it suffers from Warner Bros stuffin crap in that doesn't need to be there.
GritsnBeans 8/10 isn't simply "good" it's great. 6/10 is decent which translates to most people as good since it means the good outweihgs the bad and if you were asked if it was good or bad you would say it was good in that scenario. 7/10 is good. 9/10 is awesome. 10/10 is amazing or something along those lines. Point being once you get pass the half way mark it's rated as decent.
+javbart11 i just saw it 5 min ago its pretty entertaining a but flawed but so entertaining its the best dcu film and if it was a marvel movie it would be almost on par with ant man below ,captain America sequels avengers and ironman, above avengers age of ultron,thor movies,first captain America ,hulk movie,iron man sequel's " not on a structural level "
+Deathnotekeeper thank u I m getting annoyed wit bitchy fanboys acting like only their opinions matter if u don't like a movie then shut up they r ppl in this world that like what u dislike
the 1st wrong step was making it pg 13. I wanted a disturbing, grim, dark, morose, action packed movie.... but alot of people were yapping about "it's gotta be fun." why the hell does a supervillain movie have to be full of laughs?!!! fact is, audiences confuse the shit outta studios these days. it's lose, lose trying to satisfy audiences...
+Alina Zhidil that's because by nature of the titular character the director could cut loose without the worry of offending anyone or backlash. my original point is that this movie had an initial version that seems to have been messed up by excess re-shoots to make it more fun. Plus you're partly right, Deadpool was rated r, and with Suicide Squad no doubt greed contributed to DCs decision to go pg 13.
Technically, not only it's possible to do anything with SS, people actually expected it from the movie. And from your own logic it looks like executives mess movies up, not viewers, because they don't understand what audience wants and because, yes, they are afraid of loosing kids in the sits.
+meg I agree. I've never read any of the comics but I fucking love the idea of these bad guys doing good. I feel like the tone shouldve been along the lines of The Devil's Rejects. Darkly funny but at times disturbing. Think about how crazy (and ironic) it would be to see horrible people doing horrible things in order to accomplish good things. That couldve also been used to comic effect as well. Also think of how rad it would be to see the Joker in an R rated movie and all the shit he could get away with. So much missed opportunity...
They actually hid from everyone that Zack Snyder is one of the people who worked on the script for Wonder Woman www.slashfilm.com/wonder-woman-screenwriters/ . They knew how poisonous his name his become so they HID that he had involvement with a movie everyone thought he had no hands in FFS.
I'm with Corey; they had the perfect template for a solid Suicide Squad movie with Assault on Arkham. It came out like half a year if not a full year before Suicide Squad! You could've modified the script; I don't know how much money that would've cost but fuck man it would've made for more views so you would've made that money back! Joker was so hilariously bad it could only have been intentional! I mean listen to the shit Leto was doing behind the scenes for God's sake; they should've just had cameras following him around while he fucked with the rest of the cast, it would've been more in line with the character than this gangbanger bullshit!
My favorite thing is that they managed to awkwardly shoehorn Batman into this movie. Not just shoehorn him in, but _awkwardly_ shoehorn him in. In a Batverse story, with Batman villains, in Batman's city. That's storytelling so lazy I can't help but laugh at it.
Horrendously awful. Possibly the worst comic book movie ever with unquestionably the stupidest plot ever. How does Amanda Waller have a job? "So we'll release homicidal criminals to fight against a non-existant threat, woops, one of our team is now the threat"
I honestly don't know how DC manages to fuck up every single film they make. Ever since the comic con trailer, I've been so hyped up for this movie and it turned out to be such a disappointment. Same exact thing with batman v superman. Now, the Wonder Woman trailer looked fucking awesome but it's probably just gonna be another letdown.
They were trying so hard to sell people on Jared Letos Joker with all the stupid headlines and articles about stupid little "crazy" stuff he was doing on the set and what not. I never bought into any of that crap. If he doesn't have the Joker smile then he's just a dude wearing lipstick for no reason, it looks really gross.
And the R-rating helped in Deadpool, but Ultimately, they needed a Better Script. The Director was cool, the Cast is cool, you can Cut the Enchantress out and leave in the Joker since he has personality. Doing these things would've helped secure the movie.
Agree completely! I know they want their dough, and by making it PG13, more people can go see it. BUT.... a lot of these movies are taking stories from the comics that for sure R rated so....why not just allow them to be what they were intended to be in the 1st place?! 😒
Nahhh. They didn't need an overwhelming amount of violence and R rated stuff. They just needed to make an enjoyable movie. Have a crazy antagonist that's killable, have them be crazy, crack some clever dialogue that will make each and every character play off each other's personalities. But this?... most of these people aren't even characters.
Out of all of the justified criticisms of this film, the one about Deadshot being sympathetic and having a daughter is the one that makes the least sense. He's been sympathetic since the John ostrander run of suicide squad, and has had a daughter in comic continuity for years at this point.
Damn Korey's rant is the craziest I've ever seen from him. He's absolutely right, definitely did not have faith in what DC was turning out. God damn Warner Bros is what keeps it fucked. Thankfully it has improved. The Suicide Squad was pretty good and HBO series Peacemaker and soon to come spin offs from the recent The Batman movie which was great. DC has the window but AQUAMAN 2 might fuck it again. Let's see how FLASH does. Fun review! Thanks guys.
Everybody's gonna remember the "THIS IS KATANA! SHE'S GOT MY BACK, SHE CAN CUT ALL YOU IN HALF IN ONE SWORD STROKE LIKE MOWING THE LAWN. I'D ADVISE NOT GETTING KILLED BY HER, HER SWORD TRAPS THE SOULS OF ITS VICTIMS." scene and nothing else from this movie.
There was also a video when the team discussed a Purple Lamborghini music video for Suicide Squad and music videos as a way to promote a movie in general, does anyone know where did that video go? I adored it, I knew it by heart, but I cannot find it now(
I would just like to remind everyone that the Marvel vs DC argument war has been dead for a LONG time. Now it is just a matter of if the movie is good or not. Don't try to bring up the "You don't like this movie cause you are a Marvel fanboy. uuuuuuuuuggghh" No that's not it, I just don't like the movie. Also no joke, on another review of this I saw someone call the guy a Trump supporter just cause he liked the movie. The fuck is wrong with the world?
It's not even about individual movies. Mystery Men managed to be a pretty fun character-driven superhero team movie as it was. DC just needs to provide focused balanced offerings. If they understand that, they could make a good movie about Space Cabby that would get people invested in a space taxi driver.
20:02 Regarding the editing in that scene, it's all a part of Harley's story; that said, it's shot from her point of view. The edits suggest she was already going crazy before he attacked her. They keep happening because her mind is scattered and imbalanced after all the trauma. We get more of those edits with each of her flashbacks as she remembers being with him.
Ok SuicideSquad was better than BatmanvSuperman but still not that great . DeadShot was literally just Will smith acting like Will Smith and some of the comedy was just awkward. Also These modern DC films need to cool it with the slow motion scenes. This wasnt even a Zac Snyder film. Also Im just gonna say The Joker was FUCKIN AWFUL in The Movie he didnt even have a memorable entrance or scene like Jack, Mark or Heath. Harley Quinn was Decent enough though. I'd honestly give SuicideSquad a Spill/DoubleToasted Rental because it didn't piss me off like BatmanvSuperman but damn DC step ur game up Though this did make me want to rewatch Arkham Assault
That's really the biggest issue about the DCCU they have perfect inspiration in all of their animated versions to be able to draw from to create their movies, done with way less cash and usually great renditions of classic stories. Give those to the live action renditions and they could do wonders, but they're either letting the studios or the creatives screw with the formula too much and it breaks down. I still have hope for the Justice League and WW movies... but, I also thought they had this one on a decent track, so...
The movie is a fun time and I disagree, Harley is great, however the DCEU needs help or a reboot. And I say that as a PROUD DC fan. It's not like I go to these movies just cuz, I LOVE DC NO MATTER WHAT SO LIKE THEY SAID, GET YO SHIT TOGETHER
To be fair they've been fucking up their own franchises for years. Superman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman And Robin, Batman Vs Superman, Green Lantern
+Hustle Simmons No comment on those Batman's but Superman Returns on its own I think isn't that bad, I could watch it over MOS anyday. From what I heard from conversations people really didn't like the waiting till the end to use all his powers at once and though the bullet off the eyeball was ridiculous but in its entirety didn't hate the film at all. Of course I haven't talked to millions of people, but just from covos and reading critics/audience reviews they don't hate it. MOS gave the bigger spectacle but it should have imo I went to sleep on it in theaters and think it was only decent because of Michael Shannon's Zod.
+AlexanderThe Great I like the story for superman returns but I felt they could've gone with a different villain or have Luthor build Metallo instead of an island.
Exactly, no one brings that up anymore because they just don't wanna be attacked by raging DC fanboys but that's so damn true. & it's so fucking obvious too.
I legit didn't even bother going to the theater for this one. I was less interested in this compared to the other DC films, and reviews obviously didn't away that. Might still see Wonder Woman or Justice League though.
Okay, so I'm not a dedicated fan or anything. I don't know all there is to know about the characters. I have a question for real fans. What are Harley Quinn's and Deadshot's powers? =o I mean they get a task force with what they call meta-humans (I'm guessing that means people with super powers). So what are those two characters' special powers? Because to me, it seems like one is good at shooting and the other is just crazy. =o
***** Thanks a bunch for the help. l=D Wow, so they have no powers? That's kind of disappointing and kind of weird too. I can get the most deadly sniper ability, but just being crazy? =/ So basically they could have just gotten anyone that was off their rocker. XD
***** Now that's crazy. =0 But with that much crazy would make her dangerous, but also unpredictable and more of a liability to the team. But I guess since she is kind of a henchwoman/right hand woman to the joker, she is also good at being a teamplayer. Now I am starting to see her value on the team. =D
Well..... it's really a team of expendable criminals for suicide missions. Metahuman powers, optional. Basically, it's DC comics version of the Expendables except with less old 80's action stars. LOL. Harley has no powers. Deadshot is a good sniper on par with Hawkeye and Green Arrow for accuracy except he uses guns instead of a bow. Look at Capt. Boomerang. He throws boomerangs........ yeah....... that's it. Katana? She's got a sword. At least they had Diablo and Croc. Slipknot? Total joke. Oh we can't forget Rick Flagg as the generic soldier leader with guns. It's a great team if you're hoping they all die when you throw them up against THAT type of villain.
This was the only DCEU movie I liked. Unlike MoS and BvS I found the characters likeable and interesting with a simple story that made some sense. I think the new take on Joker will establish Joker and Harley as a matched set which is a good angle to take. However I don't think Joker v Batman can work in this universe (after beating Superman what's the point?), I wouldn't mind seeing Joker v Suicide Squad though.
My friend, I feel your pain but your anger is misguided. DC is not and has never been the problem. The problem has always been that the powers-that-be, over at the WB, have no love or respect for comic book movies. The recent promotion of Geoff Johns has been their(WB) biggest stride towards the serious involvement of their DC creative resources. And that only came about as a concession from embarrassing decision making being revealed to the public at large. Prior to that, creators of the comics / cartoons / video games were not regarded as 'Movie People' by the decision makers at Warner Brothers. Examples of this disdain pop up time and time again; most recently when the 2008 EW interview with Snyder resurfaced shortly after the release of Batman v(s) Superman. The focus of the interview was his, then, current project 'Watchmen' but he took the opportunity voice his low opinion of mainstream comicbook characters; specifically Batman and Superman. This got a lot of people asking "Why were the two biggest names in the franchise put in the hands of a man who thought so little of them?". To which Warner Brothers responded, "Our bad. Okay, I guess Geoff Johns can have some legitimate control... but he's gonna have a chaperone".
Saw the movie with my mom who knows nothing about comics (unlike me) and we both enjoyed it a lot. It was fun and I'm glad I watched it. Though the movie is not without its flaws. But harley quinn, deadshot, and Amanda waller were definitely standouts in the movie.
"we need a team in case another alien like Superman comes along"
This is where I checked out completely. How is the Suicide Squad going to stop someone like Superman? How the fuck is Harley Quinn with a baseball bat going to fight subdue Superman?
Kryptonite Bat?
Deadshot would likely be the better candidate for a "take out Superman" mission, give him a shit-ton of Kryptonite ammo.
@@acebrandon1172 Harley wouldn’t be quick enough to touch Superman.
Will Smith: "We're like...some kinda...SUICIDE SQUAD"
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
...They pulled a Fantastic 4?
+AshXXMayftw no not as worse
+AshXXMayftw And just when I started to forget about the steaming pile of dog shit that was Fantastic 4 (the newest one) they had to remind me yet again😡

Wasn't expecting Korey to look like he just got finished break dancing in sewage O_O
Every DCEU film is the same: nuggets of greatness and fantastic potential paths buried beneath trash narrative and CGI shitshow of a finale
"cgi shit show" lol u mean civil war or avenger
+Plugged Scope I guess you haven't even seen Civil War. DCEU is pumping out some garbage movies with great charcters in them. ANd yes, BvS and MOS are the definitive CGI shitshows. At least when Marvel does CGI it looks good
+Plugged Scope True. At least DC has some decent special effects. All the CG in the Marvel movies look fake as fuck.
+SlyTF1 The story matters more imo.
Rhetro Active so u gonna tell me what ive seen and what ive not ..ok nice.
This review is funnier than the movie.
IKR 😂😂
The movie isn't even meant to be funny.
That happens a lot, with Double Toasted, and it's awesome.
Always is
I don’t know if it was supposed to be funny per se…. So it succeeded in that!
DCEU:
Fool me once, I'm mad.
Fool me twice, how could you?
Fool me three times OKAY YOU'RE OFFICIALLY THAT GUY. YOU KNOW THE ONE.
Omg when Korey yells and has temper tantrums I can't stop laughing
31:40😂😂😂😂
Assault on Arkham is a much better movie. Having the Joker be the main villain makes much more sense, because then they actually have a reason to have Harley on the team.
I had more fun with this review than I had with the movie.
Thank you Doable Toasted team for being as brutally honest as you always are, this is why I watch you guys.
So, I should just watch Assault On Arkham instead?
Yes. It is a much better movie.
No, that's troy baker, not mark hamill.
its overrated
That's the shit!
YES
Haha, that last 2 minutes of Corey melting down earned a like from me.
This movie should've been all about the Joker.
It would've been more focused for starters, and it could've given a good reason for the Suicide Squad to be created.
Not as a group that will fight super beings (which is beyond idiotic). But to actually fight Joker because of a certain grudge they hold against him, maybe they have bad history with him.
And of course Harley Quinn is chosen because they think she hates him for what he did to her, not knowing she's completely brain washed and in love with him, which will fuck things up in the end.
Might not be the best idea ever, but at least it would be coherent.
Better than what we saw
Lmao that ideal sucks more and would be worse. Now they have to explain why everyone hates the joker for what they did. Plus Jared Letos joker sucks.
Harley also isn’t connected to the joker anymore. You could see that even though he came and helped.
you're right the joker was pointless in this movie. And the writing was just too bad to tell if leto is a good joker.
Also why did he shock harley? Just to make her crazier? If she's so obsessed with joker, wouldn't she just let him shock her without the goons capturing her?
any excuse to wear lipstick and korey is on top of it
I don't think I have seen korey this pissed since the last die hard.
Have you not seen the Chimpmunks 4 movie review? He went off on that.
50 Shades of Black.
Or Dirty Grandpa
did he ever review Meet the Blacks?
nope
Corey's a better Joker than Leto.
Bobsheaux Yup.
Batman: Assault on Arkham is what Suicide Squad wishes it was.
BLARG313 that’s what I wish the suicide squad movie was
I agree
Yep
LMAO at the Batman guy giving the film better than sex. The Reactions of Korey and Korey G were hilarious.
Lol
At this point we can say Christopher Nolan is the only reason the DCU isn't completely in shambles.
His movies arent part of this current DCU.
Actually he's the one who chose Snyder to direct Man of Steel, so he kind of started this whole thing.
+astoriasky no but he produces them
+astoriasky I know it was never apart of the cinematic universe it was suppose to revive the batman brand and it did that but also told a phenomenal Batman story but it's still hard for me to look at how great those movies were and then look at everything else after and wonder what the fuck happened.
+scott bryant yes but the movies he directed arent part of the current DCU. They basically started over with man of steel.
I went from excited about this movie thinking it would probably get above 80% on Rotten Tomatoes (judging by the excitement in the trailers)...to being MORE excited about hearing Double Toasted shit on it.
The best Double Toasted (and Spill) Reviews are for the worst movies...whether it be Independence Day: Resurgence or Oogie Loves.
"Just give me that OOGIE LOVE!" -Spill
the plot still blows my mind. the villain straight up exists because they wanted to make said suicide squad. that's the best they could come up with?
Enchantress looks like a homeless punk rocker
As soon as I saw Corey, clicked the like button. Though his hair reminds me of a chia pet.
I was thinking broccoli myself.
Hey man clown face actually does trigger some people.
Lol
I was thinking moss.
Either way, I love the costume!
Reminds me of a white ommpa loompa
Absolutely agree with Korey. Movie was trash. The music by Steven Price was awesome though and Viola Davis and Margot Robbie stole the show for me.

its its own thing and didnt fall apart lol
you call 872 million worldwide a bomb??
When a movie starts failing in terms of quality, yes I do call that falling apart.
maybe it failed to you, but not to others.
Failed to me too.

And even if he's vulnerable to magic, he's still Superman. He's not just going to stand there and let Katana cut him with her sword. If he turned evil, he could just melt her down with his heat vision from a mile away.
This is man of steel superman
The one that died......
The one that batman beat
So year
I doubt that superman could beat them All
Enchantress could take Superman as her specialty is magic. (SPOILER>>) The only reason she was defeated in the movie was because of Harley's manipulation skill, she has learned from the best (Joker)

But for real, I am disappointed that this movie doesn't seem to be that good, 'cause I love me some Suicide Squad, and I had subdued hopes that this could break the current trend with DC movies post Nolan-Batman. I'm still cautiously optimistic about Wonder Woman, but I hate that I have to be cautious about it because I fucking LOVE Wonder Woman.

I love it when Corey plays dress up. Now need to see Danielle dressed as Wonder Woman.
during the Wonder woman trailer review they talked about that. I think they all agreed that Korey's girlfriend would kill Danielle.
Korey should dress up as WondetWoman
omg yes please lol
+DaFlamingLink No He shouldn't
no please no
The "POW" effect and old Batman music was a nice touch.

But you accept the glorification of violence, homosexuals, and stereotypes in everything else. Grow up!
this is not dc's fault its wb if dc had its own movie company I guarantee you stuff like this wouldn't be happening
DC should cancel all future projects
3 strikes annnnnnnndddd they're fucking out.
***** Oh they fucking *need* a Batman film or else the DCEU is gonna die.
Just cause you didn't like it doesn't mean other people don't lol, and sorry to say they're gonna keep making movies whether you like it or not.
they should have Ben Affleck direct all their movies and give him complete control
+Deathnotekeeper thank u I m getting annoyed wit bitchy fanboys acting like only their opinions matter if u don't like a movie then shut up they r ppl in this world that like what u dislike
People need to stop blaming dc its wb who's to blame they're the one using dc properties.
Agreed. But I think people are talking about the DC movies when they say DC, not the actual comic book company.
Yup! I believe it's some suit up in his or her office with Disney envy ruining the DC movies.
DCenial lol
lmfao!
Wait... He's serious?
+WiseKing LOL brilliant
the 1st wrong step was making it pg 13. I wanted a disturbing, grim, dark, morose, action packed movie.... but alot of people were yapping about "it's gotta be fun." why the hell does a supervillain movie have to be full of laughs?!!! fact is, audiences confuse the shit outta studios these days. it's lose, lose trying to satisfy audiences...
Audience does not confuse studios, Deadpool was fun despite being R rated.
+Alina Zhidil that's because by nature of the titular character the director could cut loose without the worry of offending anyone or backlash. my original point is that this movie had an initial version that seems to have been messed up by excess re-shoots to make it more fun. Plus you're partly right, Deadpool was rated r, and with Suicide Squad no doubt greed contributed to DCs decision to go pg 13.
Technically, not only it's possible to do anything with SS, people actually expected it from the movie. And from your own logic it looks like executives mess movies up, not viewers, because they don't understand what audience wants and because, yes, they are afraid of loosing kids in the sits.
+meg I agree. I've never read any of the comics but I fucking love the idea of these bad guys doing good. I feel like the tone shouldve been along the lines of The Devil's Rejects. Darkly funny but at times disturbing. Think about how crazy (and ironic) it would be to see horrible people doing horrible things in order to accomplish good things. That couldve also been used to comic effect as well. Also think of how rad it would be to see the Joker in an R rated movie and all the shit he could get away with. So much missed opportunity...
Lol the movie was very fun. That had nothing to do with the awful 3rd act
I feel like Wonder Woman will be the only DCCU movie that's critically acclaimed.
Before wb chops it up in post production
Oooh, good point. =( Keep your fingers crossed.
Then WB will only hire female directors for their DCEU movies
Nah
They actually hid from everyone that Zack Snyder is one of the people who worked on the script for Wonder Woman www.slashfilm.com/wonder-woman-screenwriters/ . They knew how poisonous his name his become so they HID that he had involvement with a movie everyone thought he had no hands in FFS.
This movie is still a "fuck you" for me
That rant at the end made me so happy lol. Shame about the film though, really good point.
DAMN!!!!! That Korey rant at the very end is gonna become an instant Double Toasted classic moment!!!
I'm with Corey; they had the perfect template for a solid Suicide Squad movie with Assault on Arkham. It came out like half a year if not a full year before Suicide Squad! You could've modified the script; I don't know how much money that would've cost but fuck man it would've made for more views so you would've made that money back! Joker was so hilariously bad it could only have been intentional! I mean listen to the shit Leto was doing behind the scenes for God's sake; they should've just had cameras following him around while he fucked with the rest of the cast, it would've been more in line with the character than this gangbanger bullshit!
I more or less assumed Suicide Squad would be a more sophisticated and interesting version of Assault on Arkham. Looks like I had it backwards...
It's kinda hilarious to see (Korey) The Joker get loud and angry while Batman just silently stares at him
no one mentioned the fucking dire script.
"YOU DON'T WANT TO BE KILLED BY HER!"
"HER HEART IS OUT!"
Jesus fucking Christ.
My favorite thing is that they managed to awkwardly shoehorn Batman into this movie. Not just shoehorn him in, but _awkwardly_ shoehorn him in. In a Batverse story, with Batman villains, in Batman's city. That's storytelling so lazy I can't help but laugh at it.
I didn't even finish it. I stopped watching before the finale which might be a good thing because I hear that's the worst part.
You didn't hear wrong. The ending is so terrible it's laughable and baffling simultaneously.
Horrendously awful. Possibly the worst comic book movie ever with unquestionably the stupidest plot ever. How does Amanda Waller have a job? "So we'll release homicidal criminals to fight against a non-existant threat, woops, one of our team is now the threat"
I honestly don't know how DC manages to fuck up every single film they make. Ever since the comic con trailer, I've been so hyped up for this movie and it turned out to be such a disappointment. Same exact thing with batman v superman. Now, the Wonder Woman trailer looked fucking awesome but it's probably just gonna be another letdown.
As much as I like ripping on DC. It's come to a point where I'm wasting money and time on a crappy movie.
Copy Marvel if you have to.
Korey at the beginning sounded like a cat trying to cough a giant hairball... LMAO.!
They were trying so hard to sell people on Jared Letos Joker with all the stupid headlines and articles about stupid little "crazy" stuff he was doing on the set and what not. I never bought into any of that crap. If he doesn't have the Joker smile then he's just a dude wearing lipstick for no reason, it looks really gross.
This channel is criminally under-subbed so funny, loved the review.
the problem they made this pg13 , this movie should of been R
Right?! I was like what the hell!
And the R-rating helped in Deadpool, but Ultimately, they needed a Better Script. The Director was cool, the Cast is cool, you can Cut the Enchantress out and leave in the Joker since he has personality.
Doing these things would've helped secure the movie.
Agree completely! I know they want their dough, and by making it PG13, more people can go see it. BUT.... a lot of these movies are taking stories from the comics that for sure R rated so....why not just allow them to be what they were intended to be in the 1st place?! 😒
Nahhh. They didn't need an overwhelming amount of violence and R rated stuff. They just needed to make an enjoyable movie. Have a crazy antagonist that's killable, have them be crazy, crack some clever dialogue that will make each and every character play off each other's personalities. But this?... most of these people aren't even characters.
cut the enchantress out? she the problem they need to solve. cut her out and there be no issues.
That rant at the end is a fucking classic LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!@@@@@@@@@@
Out of all of the justified criticisms of this film, the one about Deadshot being sympathetic and having a daughter is the one that makes the least sense.
He's been sympathetic since the John ostrander run of suicide squad, and has had a daughter in comic continuity for years at this point.
Damn Korey's rant is the craziest I've ever seen from him. He's absolutely right, definitely did not have faith in what DC was turning out. God damn Warner Bros is what keeps it fucked. Thankfully it has improved. The Suicide Squad was pretty good and HBO series Peacemaker and soon to come spin offs from the recent The Batman movie which was great. DC has the window but AQUAMAN 2 might fuck it again. Let's see how FLASH does. Fun review! Thanks guys.
Even Jerome's character in Gotham sold me as the Joker, this movie gave us a drug addict that happens to like smiling.
When the dude took his beer and bolten because no one could activate the bombs anymore, I went to get a beer and never continued watching lol
I wonder if this one will have an R-rated extended edition. Seeing a topless Harley Quinn might me worth it.
Everybody's gonna remember the "THIS IS KATANA! SHE'S GOT MY BACK, SHE CAN CUT ALL YOU IN HALF IN ONE SWORD STROKE LIKE MOWING THE LAWN. I'D ADVISE NOT GETTING KILLED BY HER, HER SWORD TRAPS THE SOULS OF ITS VICTIMS." scene and nothing else from this movie.
1 of the Worst Comic Book DC movie ever made.
Suicide Squad.
There was also a video when the team discussed a Purple Lamborghini music video for Suicide Squad and music videos as a way to promote a movie in general, does anyone know where did that video go? I adored it, I knew it by heart, but I cannot find it now(
Why DC why. Why do u keep hurting me. GOD, DAM IT!!!
for once.....For only fucking once i wish i didn't choke on my food while watching Double toasted out of laughter!
I would just like to remind everyone that the Marvel vs DC argument war has been dead for a LONG time. Now it is just a matter of if the movie is good or not. Don't try to bring up the "You don't like this movie cause you are a Marvel fanboy. uuuuuuuuuggghh" No that's not it, I just don't like the movie. Also no joke, on another review of this I saw someone call the guy a Trump supporter just cause he liked the movie. The fuck is wrong with the world?
It's not even about individual movies. Mystery Men managed to be a pretty fun character-driven superhero team movie as it was. DC just needs to provide focused balanced offerings. If they understand that, they could make a good movie about Space Cabby that would get people invested in a space taxi driver.
The Justice League Movie is a guarantee failure.
20:02 Regarding the editing in that scene, it's all a part of Harley's story; that said, it's shot from her point of view. The edits suggest she was already going crazy before he attacked her. They keep happening because her mind is scattered and imbalanced after all the trauma. We get more of those edits with each of her flashbacks as she remembers being with him.
The DC cartoon movies are so damn good, they should just animated these things and put them in theaters.
I didn't expect Cory to go ballistic like that. It was fucking glorious lol
I just saw the movie and damn, I really, REALLY want to like the movie but it's just not good.
Who's watching this in 2021 after "The suiciide squad" review and going "Tsk, tsk, Korey, you liar, making shit up about Assault on Akham"?
I refuse to see a movie in theater that has Almost no daylight
“They Fantastic Foured this shit! It is that bad! It is right up there with them four assholes!"
The Task Force X episode of JL is still 10x better than this movie.
I laughed when Killer Croc took his hoodie off in the last act. His skinny ass body made him look like he was in big-head mode.
if they fuck up wonder woman, I'm done, 'cause it's the only one I still have any hope for (because of that amazing trailer)
Aw fuck!! I died when i saw Korey all decked out in his Joker outfit!! XD
Ok SuicideSquad was better than BatmanvSuperman but still not that great . DeadShot was literally just Will smith acting like Will Smith and some of the comedy was just awkward. Also These modern DC films need to cool it with the slow motion scenes. This wasnt even a Zac Snyder film. Also Im just gonna say The Joker was FUCKIN AWFUL in The Movie he didnt even have a memorable entrance or scene like Jack, Mark or Heath. Harley Quinn was Decent enough though. I'd honestly give SuicideSquad a Spill/DoubleToasted Rental because it didn't piss me off like BatmanvSuperman but damn DC step ur game up Though this did make me want to rewatch Arkham Assault
That's really the biggest issue about the DCCU they have perfect inspiration in all of their animated versions to be able to draw from to create their movies, done with way less cash and usually great renditions of classic stories. Give those to the live action renditions and they could do wonders, but they're either letting the studios or the creatives screw with the formula too much and it breaks down. I still have hope for the Justice League and WW movies... but, I also thought they had this one on a decent track, so...
He so mad his hair is turning green. lol
2:32 Ladies and gentlemen, his exact words from his Review of The Killing Joke: "Alright, I admit. I'm a nerd! I'm a f*(%ing nerd!"
The movie is a fun time and I disagree, Harley is great, however the DCEU needs help or a reboot. And I say that as a PROUD DC fan. It's not like I go to these movies just cuz, I LOVE DC NO MATTER WHAT SO LIKE THEY SAID, GET YO SHIT TOGETHER
they need to reboot it. it hurts seeing DC fucking their own franchise up
+mama tranks Idk I love the Winter Soldier
To be fair they've been fucking up their own franchises for years. Superman Returns, Batman Forever, Batman And Robin, Batman Vs Superman, Green Lantern
+Hustle Simmons
No comment on those Batman's but Superman Returns on its own I think isn't that bad, I could watch it over MOS anyday. From what I heard from conversations people really didn't like the waiting till the end to use all his powers at once and though the bullet off the eyeball was ridiculous but in its entirety didn't hate the film at all. Of course I haven't talked to millions of people, but just from covos and reading critics/audience reviews they don't hate it. MOS gave the bigger spectacle but it should have imo I went to sleep on it in theaters and think it was only decent because of Michael Shannon's Zod.
+AlexanderThe Great I like the story for superman returns but I felt they could've gone with a different villain or have Luthor build Metallo instead of an island.
When I clicked on this video I was welcomed bye a FUCKING DYING BIRD reincarnated as The Joker singing the chorus of staying alive.....
Korey says at 32:26 that they got Marvel that they can copy... um, they did. It's called GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.
Exactly, no one brings that up anymore because they just don't wanna be attacked by raging DC fanboys but that's so damn true.
& it's so fucking obvious too.
I legit didn't even bother going to the theater for this one. I was less interested in this compared to the other DC films, and reviews obviously didn't away that. Might still see Wonder Woman or Justice League though.
Okay, so I'm not a dedicated fan or anything. I don't know all there is to know about the characters. I have a question for real fans. What are Harley Quinn's and Deadshot's powers? =o
I mean they get a task force with what they call meta-humans (I'm guessing that means people with super powers). So what are those two characters' special powers? Because to me, it seems like one is good at shooting and the other is just crazy. =o
They are just badass. Deadshot in the DC universe is like one of the most deadly Snipers. And Harley is just Crazy.
***** Thanks a bunch for the help. l=D
Wow, so they have no powers? That's kind of disappointing and kind of weird too. I can get the most deadly sniper ability, but just being crazy? =/
So basically they could have just gotten anyone that was off their rocker. XD
Yay Me To be fair she is just as crazy, if not more, as the Joker.
***** Now that's crazy. =0
But with that much crazy would make her dangerous, but also unpredictable and more of a liability to the team. But I guess since she is kind of a henchwoman/right hand woman to the joker, she is also good at being a teamplayer. Now I am starting to see her value on the team. =D
Well..... it's really a team of expendable criminals for suicide missions. Metahuman powers, optional. Basically, it's DC comics version of the Expendables except with less old 80's action stars. LOL. Harley has no powers. Deadshot is a good sniper on par with Hawkeye and Green Arrow for accuracy except he uses guns instead of a bow. Look at Capt. Boomerang. He throws boomerangs........ yeah....... that's it. Katana? She's got a sword. At least they had Diablo and Croc. Slipknot? Total joke. Oh we can't forget Rick Flagg as the generic soldier leader with guns. It's a great team if you're hoping they all die when you throw them up against THAT type of villain.
Jesus Tapping Dancing Christ... watching Korey lose his shit at the end was priceless...
just watched this movie holy shit was it a mess damn that last 30 min was cringe worthy as fuck
This was the only DCEU movie I liked. Unlike MoS and BvS I found the characters likeable and interesting with a simple story that made some sense. I think the new take on Joker will establish Joker and Harley as a matched set which is a good angle to take. However I don't think Joker v Batman can work in this universe (after beating Superman what's the point?), I wouldn't mind seeing Joker v Suicide Squad though.
My friend, I feel your pain but your anger is misguided. DC is not and has never been the problem.
The problem has always been that the powers-that-be, over at the WB, have no love or respect for comic book movies.
The recent promotion of Geoff Johns has been their(WB) biggest stride towards the serious involvement of their DC creative resources. And that only came about as a concession from embarrassing decision making being revealed to the public at large. Prior to that, creators of the comics / cartoons / video games were not regarded as 'Movie People' by the decision makers at Warner Brothers.
Examples of this disdain pop up time and time again; most recently when the 2008 EW interview with Snyder resurfaced shortly after the release of Batman v(s) Superman. The focus of the interview was his, then, current project 'Watchmen' but he took the opportunity voice his low opinion of mainstream comicbook characters; specifically Batman and Superman.
This got a lot of people asking "Why were the two biggest names in the franchise put in the hands of a man who thought so little of them?".
To which Warner Brothers responded, "Our bad. Okay, I guess Geoff Johns can have some legitimate control... but he's gonna have a chaperone".
Have you been reading the comics? I don't think that was a help to the franchise
I died when the batman guy walked in lol
BvS, Killing Joke, Suicide Squad. I think I'm done with DC movies.
when he cut Will smith off and said " yeah we know you the bad guys" I fell out
Man this review was epic! Cracking up the whole time 😂😂 and yes the movie was a bad.
Korey's laugh in the beginning takes me out every time lol
I forgot korey use to cosplay for reviews.
Saw the movie with my mom who knows nothing about comics (unlike me) and we both enjoyed it a lot. It was fun and I'm glad I watched it. Though the movie is not without its flaws. But harley quinn, deadshot, and Amanda waller were definitely standouts in the movie.
I don't understand how can they make the cartoons more gorey than the movie, that's just insane. But spot on review, thanks Suicide Toasted Team!
Now I want to go and see Assault in Arkham.
