Harley was done pretty well IMO. Joker on the other hand...is probably the weakest live action adaptation of the character which is a shame though I can cut it some slack as he was hardly in the film.

Just saw Suicide Squad and I gotta say, it was much better than the bad reviews lead me to believe it would be...

Amanda and Deadshot (Will Smith's performance was actually strong; I was shocked) were good...

Margot Robbie IS Harley (shes got the look down to a T); she just needs a stronger script to work with...

And I personally thought the Joker was well done; much different than how he's normally portrayed, but I can dig this version...

I was entertained by this movie...

I liked it more than Ant Man; I'd give it 7.25/10...

Just watched it, not a bad movie, actually enjoyed it more that i initially thought I would.

The main cast was handle pretty well, especially the trio i.e. DS, Harle and Joker. The plot though could have been more solid, overall it's a good flicks. Wished it was rated R instead.

Yeah, Margot killed it as Harley. I'd give SS a solid 8/10.

Jai Courtney was actually pretty good, too.

Just saw this.

Lots of fun, great music, and Wil Smith and Margot Robbie killed it.

Leto's Joker f*cking SUCKED.

How long the movie duration and is it better than BVS?

It's a little over two hours. I thought it was more enjoyable than BvS while overall not being a good movie.

Spoiler:
The first two acts (well, really the first act which is a series of flashbacks highlighting the team but primarily Harley and Deadshot's backgrounds and then the beginning of the mission in Midway City in act two leading up to the bar scene) were good while having issues. The final act with El Diablo turning into Lord Pyron from Darkstalkers to take on Incubus and then the climax against Enchantress who seemed to be a CGI'd spoof of Aaliyah from Queen of the Damned
was trash. It's starts out like Escape from New York or Big Trouble in Little China (as in a semi good B grade action flick) but ends up as Fan4stic in act three.

BTW, I'm dissapointed in the 130-140 number, TBH. I was hoping it would beat BVS OW number. 🙁

It would have if it had better reviews.

Don't see much enough of Joker to fully judge tbh. It was basically Joker from Harley's perspective. And their relationship was done quite well IMO.

It was ok, but not great. IOW, it was far better than the crappy BvS. hopefully DC will keep improving.

This might finish under Finding Dory. 😱 140 is a no go.

Well I never thought it would beat Deadpool.

Wonder Woman will be the worst one so far in the DCEU.

Story by Zack Snyder (they have to keep him involved with everything no matter how stale his ideas get) and it stars an underwear model 🙁


> Says WW will be the worst because of Synder
> Liked BvS

Make sense. 😛
If the hack has to remain on board indefinitely, I can say I at least have a bit more confidence in him with solo films (i.e. WW, as MoS was alright, subpar but alright) than I do with ensemble/team up films he's involved in (JL and whatever other potential messes that spawn from BvS's cesspool).

Anyway, just got back from SS. I don't think I really have strong feelings for or against it. It was just a fun silly popcorn flick that I think most would get their money's worth out of if they try to have fun with it. Can't say I disagree with people here on the villain though, or the Joker & what little Leto had to work with.

Well I think even directors who make Awesome movies can go stale staying on for too long - Sam Ramai with Spider-Man 3, Nolan with TDKR, Jon Favreau with Iron Man 2, Whedon with AOU, e.t.c.

Snyder's been involved with this Universe a bit too long now, and his films are not getting better. And even though I like BvS, I should have frigging Loved it, and don't see his DC movies getting any better from here on out. He should leave and do other things. Best thing for DC Films and for him.

Also main reason WW is doomed is the casting IMO.

That's down to the RT score.

I told ya to chill out with all the OW predictions. Wait and see for that stuff, you don't know what factors will come in. WOM didn't have a chance to effect anything on Opening Day. If it's drastically dropped on Saturday then that suggests WOM from audiences isn't that great.

Am actually curious why people are giving this movie so much hate, and comparing with the Marvel verse?

Well, at least it broke the August record. 😛

Nice job spotting DT's hypocrisy.

Spoiler:
The one PIS I don't understand is how Enchantress can fulfill your deepest desire, but can't protect herself.
