Well, I thought it was not at all a good movie... but it was highly entertaining. Sometimes that's all that you need.
They said they cut out Joker stuff in the movie, so without spoiling it, can anyone say if a large majority of the Joker scenes in the trailer are in the movie
A sizeable chunk of it, yeah. Most of what wasn't I can't mention without spoilers.
i'm seeing it tomorrow and all i'm saying is, they better not have fucked up my boy Killer Croc.
he didn't say much but all his lines were good
i just watched the movie literally just got back home and it was a good movie there wasnt that much wrong with it and the characters are fine and funny and are not too far from the comic books
I still dont understand how DC fucks up a movie they already had. The animated "Assault on Arkham" IS "Suicide Squad!" THey already had the movie! And it was damn good! They just needed to make it live action! Just follow the template they already had! HOw do they fuck that up??
I enjoyed the movie. Was better than I expected.
It's easy to like something when you go in with low expectations. That is why I enjoyed Cursed Child so much.
We need a different way to rate movies, or we need to shut the hell up with the flame wars we create over them. Suicide squad and Ghostbusters are both successful in the box office so who the fuck cares about a critics rating, or online commentators so desperately wanting to see products they love fail?
Its almost smart for movie companies to start making awful cringe trailers just to get "fans" to start shit talking on EVERY SINGLE PLATFORM THEY CAN. If not for the infinite verbal diarrhea, I bet suicide squad & ghostbusters would quietly fail. Thats how you boycott a movie, not by giving it free advertising.
i think the movies were already bound to make some big money, i don't know how much the reviews really affected the amount of people who came to see movies like these. I believe people already were going to see popular franchises like these before the reviews came out.
Ghostbusters is not successful in the box office. It has just barely made back its production budget and doesn't look like it's going to make much more. Add in the advertising budget and it probably won't even break even.
Edit: The advertising budget is rumored to be around $100 million, so there's almost no way it will break even.
Ghostbusters has only been out for 3 weeks and is yet to open in most of its overseas territories. Its actually in-line with what the studios projected (projected between £40-50 mil opening, which is about what it got), and is about on-par with films like Ant-Man and similar 'big but not too big' franchise films, so its likely to be a reasonable success. Probably not a huge one though.
I really enjoyed Suicide Squad, and I was glad a lot of Leto got cut because /man/ do I dislike him. His Joker really turned me off. I was not a fan.
They probably cut all the Joker scenes so they can add them into the Blu-Ray cut.
Suicide Squad had a lot of problems, but I still enjoyed it more than any other superhero film this year. If I had to choose between this, or yet another formulaic light-hearted action-comedy from Marvel, I'd definitely go with Suicide Squad. Hopefully, Strange MD (a superhero medical drama, this has NEVER been done before!) will be a welcome break from the tired old Marvel formula.
But...But Deadpool, and civil war
I'm going to assume that the critics' review were somewhat influenced by BvS. I myself just got back from seeing the film, and I thought that it was good. A film to last the ages? God no. A film to be just entertained by? It manages to hit that mark perfectly (at least for me). There were definitely plotholes and some lines that made me cringe just a tad, but there were also plenty of moments that I thought were cool. In all honesty, I think that this movie is more comic book-y than any of the other comic book super hero movies that have come before it, which throws points into both the pro and con columns. For just a movie and not a piece of art, it was great. Don't go in expecting it to change your life, and you'll have a good time.
I'm still going to see it. I certainly don't consider Suicide Squad to be a movie to define the movie-going experience for me, but I think I'll probably still find it enjoyable. It's honestly hard for me not to like anything with Harley Quinn, Batman, Katana, and Joker. I'm a DC Fan, and still hold out that eventually they'll pick up their game someday.
