I've said it before but it's weird that a film-maker who can do enchanting, bizarre, slow-paced, visually striking magical stuff so well turned Hellboy into generic action garbage.

It has always upset me that X-men, with its massive number of characters who are all very well developed, decided to stay with essentially the same 5 characters its whole run for the most part. I will not be sad if we never seen Magneto, Mystique or any of them ever again.

I liked all the young kids in Apocalypse. My hope is that they focus solely on Cyclops, Jean, Storm, Nightcrawler, Quicksilver, and maybe you can bring back Beast. But other than I'd be more than happy with nobody else returning.

Quicksilver is great in the comics. He's right there with Namor as the biggest rear end in a top hat in the Marvel Universe and I love that.

Quicksilver is great when he's not being obsessive over Wanda. And I don't just mean Ultimate twincest.

I was only half watching, so I'm not sure what it was up against. But if I was drinking, I'd do a literal spit take when they announced it.

For Hair and Makeup, because it's hard to make Margo Robbie look like that. Already fucktards with Joker avatars are tweeting about how it won an oscar. It won an oscar that had nothing to do with acting, or directing or writing for any of the poo poo that's important in the way they're acting. EDIT: Should clear that up, good for the makeup artists getting recognized.

I thought it couldn't get any worse than the 15 back to back pop song montages, but then the movie stopped and let the characters speak and I was proven wrong. I think I hate every single person involved in making this movie.

It's such dad rock too, but like an Ernest Cline novel, they make it out to be the craziest, most edgy rock music there is.

The issue is that they're crammed into every single loving scene in the first 48 minutes, like an extraordinarily lovely music video. Then the back half of the movie alternates between "boring as poo poo" and "oh christ they're trying to quip again". I know the comparison to GotG has been done over and over since this thing's release, but it really does seem like the movie spends half its runtime shouting at the audience "HEY THIS IS JUST LIKE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, REMEMBER HOW MUCH YOU LIKED GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY? WELL THIS IS LIKE BAD GUY GUARDIANS OF THE DC GALAXY AND WE MADE MARGOT ROBBIE SAY THE LINES FROM THE OLD CARTOON THAT YOU LIKED SO MUCH!"

I mean there are bits and pieces I liked. I like Diablo a lot. I thought Viola Davis was really good even though Amanda Waller's part in the film is terrible. I like Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Will Smith as Deadshot just fine. Enchantress I think is hands down the worst villain in any modern comic book movie though. Also there was a guy that played Rick Flagg in the movie and that's about as much as you can say about him.

Flagg was the absolute worst, followed by Croc. I hated Joker, but I'm not sure how much of that can be attributed to my dislike for Leto in general. Diablo was fine when they remembered to give him a line.

My favorite thing posted about Suicide Squad winning is that it now has as many Oscars wins as the entire Shrek franchise.

They're not just playing Hooked On A Feeling while Quill is being beaten, it's because it's what the guard is listening to. That its just "hey Sabbath is cool! that means Croc is cool!" and its just painful. And yea the back half is just terrible. It lurches from bad action scene to bad dialog scene without any cohesion, with the most generic henchmen and goal. Robbie is fine, and Will Smith felt a lot like 90s Will Smith so good. I felt Diablo was a non-entity, his only part being conflicted about using his power and sounding like ever latino gangbanger ever in a tv show or movie. Boomerang's best scene was his intro where the Flash gets him.

The musical cues in Suicide Squad are basically just lazy shortcuts for characterization. This song is wacky! That means this is a wacky character!

The one good thing I'll say about Suicide Squad is that it's the only time I've ever liked Jai Courtney in anything, even if he barely does anything in that movie.

I liked him in Spartacus. I've never liked in him much in movies at all. He's about as bland as the guy that played Rick Flagg normally.

There's one moment i actually liked Enchantress, when she teleports back and gives the documents to the general, and she starts feeling him up and he's all "please don't touch me".

I only made it about 20 minutes in and I believe they'd run through more songs than are ON Awesome Mix Vol. 1. And they're all blatantly studio picked hits, rather than "poo poo James Gunn has on his Spotify playlist". I mean loving Sympathy For The Devil for Joker? I love the song, but Jesus, spend more than half a second thinking of the soundtrack, guys.
