It's completely inconsistent. Like in the bar scene that was in some of the trailers, she doesn't even have it. Actually I think maybe she only does it when she's with Joker or talking about him.

Toxxupation posted:Suicide Squad had a 65 million dollar Friday (counting Thursday), tracking it for a $138 million first weekend. Good haul, not far off from what Batman v Superman made. I'd say Batman v Superman (Theatrical Cut) is a better film but I'd be more likely to watch Suicide Squad again because I liked the characters more in it. It's Cinemascore was a B+ so while not good, it is higher than BvS so that may lead to better word of mouth and more repeat viewing.

1. Killing Them Softly (78%) 2. Solaris (65%) 3. Bug (61%) 4. Wolf Creek (53%) 5. Darkness (4%) 6. The Box (45%) 7. Silent House (41%) 8. The Devil Inside (7%) Up to 2012, the only films to ever receive Fs. In brackets is their RT score. Looks like it's mostly horror. Horror fans are loving weird about that genre, so that doesn't surprise me. (http://www.pajiba.com/box_office_round-ups/the-8-films-all-time-to-receive-an-f-from-cinemascore.php)

Edit: The Devil Inside having a bad score makes sense because IIRC it's the one where the movie doesn't actually end, it just stops and a thing comes up on screen telling you to go to a website. Arctic Baldwin posted:was boomerangs dumb thing with pink unicorns one of those dumb post deadpool adds? Probably, seeing as how it doesn't figure into anything ever. The funniest thing about the movie is how they make it blindingly obvious who is going to die is it Will Smith, Margot Robbie or the guy who just shows up without an intro and just a bad voice over saying how "He can climb anything." A couple of things that came off strange were two scenes that felt like there should have been more there but instead there's nothing around them. There's the bit where Capt Boomerang takes off but then just kind of comes back for no reason and the bit where Harley escapes, Joker's chopper crashes and she just rejoins the team like nothing happened. Also after that scene there's no acknowledgement that her bomb no longer works. muscles like this! fucked around with this message at 20:48 on Aug 6, 2016 |

You don't really see Ds or Fs unless it's a niche film and the small audience it's for hates it. C level is basically an F for all intents and purposes. The Cinemascore isn't really a grade of the movie it's more of a grade of the audience reaction to the movie. Whether they're likely to see it again or tell others it's good. That's why it's usually a good indicator of the legs the movie has.

For the lack of the Joker in the movie, Jared Leto is saying that quite a few of his scenes ended up being cut.

That Ayers, when writing and directing this movie, had the option of going "wait, these elements are sexist and lame and I'd be better off not including them in this way," right? He wasn't filming a documentary, and so could decide whether or not he wanted a scene where a female inmate gets naked in the middle of a field while everyone stands dead still and eyefucks her. Like, I'm assuming none of the men in the movie get naked and roll around like kittens while kissing everyone?

It seems really generous to put Iron Man 2 in the same tier as Winter Soldier. And by generous I mean "What the gently caress".

Argue posted:Just watched it, and while it wasn't good, it was not as bad as BvS, and certainly not as bad as Fantastic Four. I was going to write a big review but this accords with just about all of my thoughts, to highlight some of the reasons why this is a much, much better movie then BvS while still being a bad movie. Will Smith does very good work with what he's given. This is a "Will Smith Movie Star™" calibre performance for the first time in years. Why on earth the movie wasn't more focused on Deadshot I don't know. Margot Robbie also does very good work with a very problematic character, whose motivations and actions don't even make any sense even with the considerable leeway of her character being batshit crazy. Waller and Boomerang are reasonably faithfully adapted (give or take a dumb unicorn gag). A decent Suicide Squad movie could definitely be made that was about those four characters, please drop every other character as well as their dumb flashbacks/dream sequences. Joker is a complete nothingburger, that and every Affleck scene make me very worried about the next Batman movie.

Dexie posted:I just got back from the movie. Aside from the awful continued over-sexualization of Harley and the non-stop (and oh, I do mean non-stop) use of licensed music, I enjoyed it. Holy poo poo was the music overused. I think the absolute saturation of licensed music did more to pull me out of the experience than any other single aspect of the experience. It was loving jarring.

I saw Suicide Squad on Wednesday night. It wasn't great, but it wasn't anywhere near the shitstorm some are calling it. I'd give it a B-/C+. It's much better than Fantastic Four, Electra, Green Hornet etc. As everyone's already said, the intro takes forever, the plot is muddled and the editing makes things even worse. Davis and Robbie are great with what they have. Will Smith is Will Smith. Jai Courtney steals great little moments. Leto just comes across as a tryhard. The best thing you can do is go in, turn your brain off and enjoy the music/one-liners/slow-mo action finishers. Remember, it's just a movie.

Margot Robbie is a good actress who is bad at accents. There's a chunk of a good Suicide Squad movie stuck in there but there's so much that is gross or dumb surrounding it, then the matter of the HILARIOUSLY BAD editing. Any time Harley is interacting with someone aside from the other members of the squad it's just really squicky. The editing is so bad that, aside from the weird pacing and bizarre flashback timing, you can also tell they just shuffled some scenes around by tracking Harley's makeup. Most of the cast does a good to great job and characters are pretty true to their comic incarnations. Cara Delevingne should maybe stop acting and Jared Leto should be locked away in a pit. I'd actually be excited to see them do a more focused sequel, especially if they give more screen time to Jai Courtney.
