This movie feels like a bunch of TikTok clips with famous people in it. There's no cohesive story. This is worse than Batman vs Superman Edit: whoever edited this is a monster Old Man Pants fucked around with this message at 02:52 on Aug 7, 2021 |

I caught the Lloyd Kaufman cameo too, it's awesome Gunn still sneaks him into his movies. Man, I'm really in the mood to read Giffen's 2000 run on Suicide Squad, but my single issues aren't in the same state as I am.

Well I watched suicide squad 1 before watching the newest. what a dumb, mediocre movie. Parts were good, but it was weighed down by the dumb villains and plot. Boomerang was Boomerang in personality, but needed to actually throw boomerangs. Christ. Robbie as Harley was good. Leto would have been a fine joker if he didn't look like poo poo. He wasn't that bad. It was an interesting take. Flagg was dumb. Deadshot was kinda deadshot, but also not. Croc was fun. Katanna didn't need to be in the movie. Slipknot for the half second we saw his expertise was interesting, but lmao. Diablo lmao Waller is sorta waller, but also not. This interpretation sucks. In the end I think I liked it more than disliked it. Mr Hootington fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Aug 7, 2021 |

Better than the first one by a mile. Definitely wouldn't say it was the best DC movie though. Of the ones I've seen probably number three. But that makes it one of three DC movies I've really enjoyed. I thought for the most part that plot was kinda lame but the characters made up for it. Well except for Polka Dot Man. I never got on board with whatever Gunn was doing there. Didn't work for me. Contrary to most people I think Ratcatcher stole the movie, not Peacemaker. But I enjoyed most everyone else in it.

I am very very picky about action movies and in general the more gunfire there is the less I like it outside of a few little genre slivers. I'm a huge wimp. So-- this was going to be an uphill battle for me to begin with, and I think I would have been pretty bored with it in the theater. But as something to watch at home with dinner, I didn't think it was awful-- it was definitely very much a James Gunn movie moreso than either GotG, which is a good thing and a bad thing. I really liked Ratcatcher, I love that archetype of the one idealistic character in a very cynical story getting a chance to be proven right, I loved the bit about gambling on love when she was making friends with King Shark, I loved the rats, I loved all of that. Elba and Cena were ok on their own but really shone when they got a chance to play off of each other, which thankfully was pretty frequently. And of course Peter Capaldi did a whole lot with fairly little, as is his wont I guess. I think Robbie is also still very clearly having a lot of fun with her role and putting a ton of nuance into it, but Harley's stuff felt a little superfluous, and I think with very little shuffling the story could have been told just as well without her. Still-- she really owns this character and breathes a ton of life into even fairly limp scenes. I was very into her big solo action set piece, the choreography of her javelin fighting sequence, all the stuff with the flowering wounds was lovely. It's weird. When I finished the movie the bits that stuck with me were all good bits, bits that I liked, but I still felt kind of overwhelmed, like the whole thing was less than the sum of its parts. I think that for all the bombastic soundtrack cues and stylized gore and lovingly over the top set-pieces the whole project felt curiously... subdued? Like the tonal volume of the entire thing was just slightly miscalibrated, a bit too leisurely when it needed to pick up the pace and a bit too rushed when it should have taken a second to breathe. I think I'd categorize it with a few other superhero movies as "Probably a good movie, just not a movie I was destined to really vibe with," adjacent to the handful of "probably not a very good movie, but kind of my poo poo." That being said, yeah, miles better than the original Suicide Squad, which I found borderline unwatchable. I think if I had to rank our existing trifecta of Harley Quinn-centric movies I'd definitely put it in between that and Birds of Prey, which I rewatched last week and still find really lovely and sharp. And funny-- the weird thing about The Suicide Squad, and maybe seeing it with a crowd would have helped, is how many beats that felt like big laugh moments just fell flat. Like I saw the joke, processed it, even, maybe, appreciated it as funny, but it just didn't land all the way. There were some really great, funny moments in this movie, but a lot more that sort of... respectably bombed? Every instance of the Polka Dot Man's mom schtick was just kind of not working for me.

I just finished watching the new one and it's hosed up how Harley Quinn now has a stronger quality to poo poo ratio than any other DC character as far as the modern live action movies go.

I honestly liked suicide squad more than the suicide squad Ratcatcher II was cool though and I appreciate Gunn using DCs naming convention for legacy characters. I’ll also say Robbie is getting better at playing as Harley.

I watched it in an empty movie theater with my fiancee, and it was good. Very much a James Gunn movie, and the deaths did surprise me: I thought we'd get more mileage out of the first team, and I was bummed that we're not getting more Captain Boomerang in the DCEU. Like, what's with Marvel and DC hating on recurring B-list villains in their cinematic universes? Liked Ratcatcher, but the biggest surprise to me was how John Cena made me care about Peacemaker's upcoming series, wanting to see more of him. Fiancee liked the movie, and I could tell Ratcatcher and her pet rat were her favorites, along with King Shark.

Just finished TSS and I fully expected Polka Dot Man to die the minute he was announced, I am surprised how long he made it. I thought near the end that his big moment would be sacrificing himself by turning into a polka-dot explosion like he mentions in his scene where he infodumps his whole backstory. Gonna agree with some posters that outside of the one initial gag his whole mom schtick just didn't play with me and I would've enjoyed more giant Starro flailing than the scene with a PDM mom. The couple of surprises I didn't see coming were King Shark living to the end, because I expected him to bite it at numerous points. Also I didn't expect Peacemaker to (almost) die, since I knew he had a series coming up. Loved the callback to his and Bloodshot's "shooting smaller bullets" thing from the start. My only real complaint I have (story wise) is why did Waller let Harley live? They knew she was still alive and they also knew she was captured (or at least that she had gone way off mission) I mean I know the actual reason is because Harley is too big a character to kill but I'd have liked it if there was more of a story reason. Anyway yeah this is probably the best DCU film to date, or at least the most unique. Like, I may not have liked every beat/joke but goddamn if it doesn't shake up the formula more than anything DC or the MCU have done in years. badjohny posted:I just could not get over how huge John Cena is. There are a few shots where it is almost an uncanny vally reaction (if that is the right term). When they are in the armored car, he just looks to huge to be real. I know he is that huge, but my brain just can't seem to wrap around it. Maybe it was the costume or seeing him around people that aren't roided out WWE wrestlers. I mean Henry Cavil is huge, but this is something else. I mean the costume is definitely deliberately too small/tight to make him look that way but yeah dude is huge.

I have no evidence to support this but I feel Harley is a free woman who's already figured out how to deactivate or remove her chip and just randomly shows up for missions at the last second because it's fun and she likes hanging out with her pals.
