Well I enjoyed the poo poo out of this, It had it's trashy moments, some clear issues with editing and pacing but the cast was enjoyable as hell and overall the story flows well enough. Jai Courtney was a goddamn revelation as Captain Boomerang.

"What if Superman had torn off the roof to the White House? Who would stop him?" "Batman." "No, all the people Batman caught who don't really have any powers at all." "But... Batman actually did beat Superman..."

I said come in! posted:I liked this version of the Joker, it's just too bad Jared Leto is supposedly a gigantic rear end in a top hat in real life and no liked him during filming. What is disappointing is that the Joker in Suicide Squad was totally pointless and added nothing to the story. Supposedly the alternative cut of the film changes that and he is much more central to the plot beyond just Harley Quinns backstory. My favorite parts about DCU is how it glosses over what could of been a movie that made them, The Joker meeting Harley Quinn and some Batman. Simple story! Its just a flash back, but it would of been a way better movie.

So superman allowed himself to suffocate under the effects of a foreign substance and just thought it was cool to be helpless as he almost got stabbed in the chest by a crazy man? Superman was toying with batman until poo poo got real when kryptonite was introduced, then he was actually trying to kill batman, and failed.

effectual posted:Strange Brew is amazing, you heathen. all my friends are heathens, take it slow. Also, Jai Courtney was not fantastic because he was barely in the movie, and the only scene I heard getting any laughs was when I was heading to the bathroom. Where he was like "HURRR FIRAHHH WooOooOo". Maybe it was funny. I wasn't there. I also sat next to Harley Quinn who squeed when she showed up and then halfway through the movie was incredibly silent. The movie ended and I only heard her friend talk about comparing it to something. CelticPredator fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Aug 7, 2016 |

Oh yeah. I laughed at that too. Also the editing during the first Batman scene was really bad, editing wise. It looked like they couldn't get Affleck on set that day (probably true) and had to cut around it. It was like that scene in London Has Fallen where they clearly couldn't get Freeman and Butler in the same room together, so they just did shot reverse shot and never had both of them in the same frame together. I guess it took me out because I remember Ayer talking up this Batman being more than just a minute long cameo, so I was shocked when it seemed like it was an after thought.

CelticPredator posted:Oh yeah. I laughed at that too. This was what a lot of people theorized when the toys were released an Batman had The Worlds Ugliest Gas Mask on. I wouldnt be surprised if that really was the case, since I'm sure Affleck is busy with the solo Batman film and Justice League, and the post-credits scene wasn't exactly a difficult or long one to show up in or put on pounds of costuming for.

CelticPredator posted:Oh yeah. I laughed at that too. I thought it was a pretty good scene because Batman doesn't even gently caress around and just busts Deadshot's knee, it was awesomely brutal. Normally I'm not a fan of jump-cuts in fights and yeah they probably did that because Affleck and Smith couldn't be on set together but for a character like Deadshot who primarily fights by shooting people it's not an issue. Any fight with Deadshot should be kinda short and sweet because either you take him down fast or he shoots you. Actually Deadshot is the one character for whom this Jason Bourne kinda AH GOD LOOK OVER THERE NOW LOOK OVER THERE editing sorta works. There are a lot of really ropily edited moments particularly the fight when they storm the building and El Diablo "does something." The angle the enemies are at almost seems to change just so he can get at them with his fire. OTOH there are times when the movie's disorienting editing works to its advantage like when they're fighting a teleporting enemy in a cloud of fog.

Rhyno posted:Why couldn't Affleck and Smith be on set together? well, CP said the scene looked spliced together and he knows a thing or two about editing so I'd take his word on it and somebody mentioned previously that the guy who plays Flash was working on Justice League while this was filming so they had Zach Snyder take a few shots of him then spliced him into the scene where Flash captures Boomerang so it seemed plausible they did the same with Affleck? I can't say for sure whether they did it or not, I just know I liked it as a rapid fight scene in a small space like out of a Samurai movie/Western.

I didn't think it is as bad as everyone says , eventually Harley grated on my nerves , but overall it was really just kind of dull and boring. Some of the CGI was terrible but the ending especially made no sense. Also, Waller wasn't bad rear end she was just a Evil person.

Hollismason posted:Batman looks super fat in his suit. In all fairness, that fits Miller's art. Also its hard to make a "lean" muscle suit, since its very nature means it's always going to be thicker than the person inside it. I haven't looked at any production photos of BVS or JL, but I wouldn't be surprised if the cowl also is as thick as a giant monster mask, and they use some greenscreen tricks to "pull" Affleck's eyes forward and make it appear thinner & skimtight (to help balance out the head-to-body size).

It was kind of odd that Deadshot had " I am the light. I am the way." On his shirt collar and guns. Rather unusual
