Flag was a real motherfucker
Iced Ropeguy without a second thought
Kept pissing off Deadshot
But I'm right tho
Joker is the first guy to have something to say
I know, I was saying that cuz thats one of the things that wasn't in the movie. c'mon man
Hey, Bronson owned that shit. Now he's a flaming troll holding back the Incubus looking motherfuckers and letting them know two consecutive DC bombs gonna fuck their machine up.

Oh God, let's hope they don't pull a Thor 2 and have SS/Joker team up to fight an elf looking mptherfucketsmotherfuckers in the sequel, played by renowned Scottist actor Jason Connery.
Although actually...

I dunno if you saw their post but a user on here who was close to the film said there was another version of him that was some horror fusion of the bodies he absorbed. But the design changed weekly till we got what we have now.
Fixed.
Though, it's the DCCU, anything can happen.
That would've worked out so much better, I feel. I never got how a clump of bodies turned into something metallic.

This cut already sounds like GOAT material in comparison to the theatrical cut to me... Not completely, since a lot of the script issues would still be there, but I can imagine I'd enjoy that cut so much more without the constant music shuffling, flashbacks etc...

Hi guys
Just saw this last night. Can't really say I was pleased
Anyway.
I posted some impressions at the other thread but will see quickly if they've been addressed here or not.
In general, I thought it was a mess but when they got their tone right, I can see where they were trying to go and that was nice. Too bad the instances were far and few in between throughout the movie.
I am still rooting for dc to get ww right though.

Honestly bro that to much story ark for the DCU to handle
Guys this movie fucking sucked and it good have been good. Hate Snyder films all you want at least he doesn't do quick takes the whole fucking time. I will take slow mo before that type of action any day.
Also is it just me or did it seem like they never stayed in the same place for more then 2 minutes until the end. Their were no actual scenes and all their was, was quick cuts to other trailer cuts. Really felt weird.
The reason I'm so disappointed in this was that this film had so much potential. You have the director of fury a great film about a team of soilders teaming up. Their were great interactions between characters with real drama. This film just felt like trying to fit as much one liners as possible into 2 long long hours.
Also this movie had 3 scenes that could have been good but only 1 was. Dead shots assassination at the beginning but then it cut before the action was over. Boomerangs leaving but then he fucking showed up again to be part of the "family". The one good scene was when batman was atacking the joker because they actually finished a fucking scene.
Terrible movie and yet my 2 friends thought it was the best DC movie ever including dark knight

For all the shit I give BvS, at least it had some decent action. The warehouse fight was awesome. Suicide Squad doesn't have anything that stands out. The ending fight is only memorable because Diablo turned into an Aztec god. Deadshot is played up as this awesome shooter using creative ways to kill his targets. They showcase that with the first person he kills in this movie, but then he never does anything like that afterwards. Just wasted potential.

She made Nick Fury look like a great leader.
Red Letter Media nicely pointed out how basically everything was her fault and it made her look like "a dumbass".
I liked her characterization but she was pretty stupid
The first teaser trailer suggested a very different tone for this movie: dark, somber, maybe more serious-minded? The second full-on trailer was a complete 180, rock music, rapid cutting, more energy etc.
There is no doubt that Ayer's original cut was a lot more like BvS and the studio hacked the shit out of it.

WAT? after deadshot got serious he single handely stopped the remaining horde of enchantress zombies, even the special ops team and Flagg realized the he is in another fucking level.
i think that's the whole point, he want people to believe she is a fucking mastermind or something, but soon she realizes that metahumans shouldnt be taken slightly

Nothing really visually interesting with Deadshot shooting stuff while standing still. It's boring.
its better than the circus show captain america does to kill 1 dude,
he didnt needed to move, he is that good. but whatever

He's also shooting a bunch of mindless zombies that run straight at him like they have the AI from House of the Dead.
they arent so mindless since they captured the other special ops team

They look pretty mindless.
In fact a handful of them ignore Will Smith and literally go running right by him.
yes, because they are aiming for Flagg, since Enchantress wants him, Deadshot even mentions this when he finds out about her
It was the only action scene in the movie that did a good job of demonstrating one of the characters unique abilities.
Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!
Member
So they are pretty mindless if they run right past the dude who is gunning them all down because they are zombines capable of doing one thing at a time? In fact, if I understand your correctly Will Smith was under absolutely no threat whatsoever during this scene?
once deadshot got serious none passed through him so i dont understand what are you arguing, he was never under threat, they couldnt even reach him

I wanted to see something more creative than that. Like the ricochet thing was awesome. I know he's good, but him standing in one spot is not creative.

I'm arguing that gunning down a bunch of zombies running straight at you isn't nearly as cool as this scene.
but that scene fits captain america, it doesnt fit deadshot.
both characters are totally different why would you even compare them?
the best would compare Hawkeye in any case,

Well, you kind of did
I mean that's Waller's MO
She is like always cleaning up after her own mess
She is just good at talking big and getting info on other people.

Wasn't Enchantress's heart rigged with a proximity bomb? Wasn't that the implication when she approached it when Waller was asleep? So why didn't her heart explode when zombie goons approached it or tried to open it?

I thought that scene was awkward, too, to be honest. I got what they wanted to do... "deadshot is an awesome guy who doesn't cut and run as flag have taunted him to do" ... But yeah, it was a bit of an uninspired way to go about it. The one in his flash back at the beginning was much more interesting.
The cgi horde was also so weak? Just one baseball bat swing and they go down, so I never felt that they were in any real danger during the mindless horde assault. Reminds me of ultron's clones in AoU. Yawnfest.

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
Yeah, I thought that too. Not sure what happened with that. Gotta say, Delevingne was very goofy as both June Moone and the Enchantress. I figure she'd be more menacing/interesting from the trailers.

It's Deadshot, the best marksman out there. He doesn't need gun kata to get the job done. The assassination, target practice, and horde scenes were perfect showcases of his abilities.
Ah, I wanted you to like it.=OHi guys

Yeah the movie has a lot of issues.
I mean ya, but in this film she seemed genuinely stupid. The SSquad here was so badly conceived, and her picks for the team were purely idiotic. The character used to be about "The ends justify the means", but in this movie, it's like "Dumbass government official ruins everything. Fear her." Movie wants us to act like this character is worthy of respect, but she's pretty much a loser.
That final battle, man. -_-
Hand to hand combat (or sword to sword, as it were) when you got straight up MAGIC? Enchantress? Why, girl? Why why why.
Diablo was really the only credible meta-threat to Enchantress. I guess you could say Katana's sword, being able to cut through the magic, was also another threat, but it and Katana were so poorly established in the the prior 90% of the film that Harley being able to intuit a last-ditch strategy using that sword felt like a blindside. But, whatever.
I'm glad we decided to wait until discount Tuesday to catch this.I'll get into other thoughts later but overall it was a mess.

Doesn't need to be gunkata, but it needs to be more dynamic than standing on a car. Or more trick shots like the assassination he did in the beginning of the movie.

Uwaaaah timuuu
I wanted to like it too! I kept trying, as I sit there and watch, to tell myself that it was good but I couldn't enjoy it :<
I hope we will get a different cut. I know the director had said otherwise but I think there might be a better movie in there if it was cut differently. It won't fix the major issues but it may fix some of the minor ones.
I really rooted for them to pull this right
I enjoyed MoS and parts of BvS so I felt dc was due a hit. But I guess it's not to be with SS.Oh that enchantress heart briefcase 💼! Yes, how did it suddenly lost its proximity bomb? I mean they took Amanda Waller with them, but it should still have detonated when there are unauthorised people in its proximity, right? So weird!
I'm really not. Suicide Squad doesn't make sense in the DC cinematic universe because they are conceived to fight meta-humans and world ending threats, and in this movie, that world ending threat was chosen by Waller.
Compare that to Batman Assault on Arkham where Harley was chosen because of her deep knowledge of Arkham Asylum rather than because she's "crazier" and more "fearless" than the Joker (something that was said in the movie not even 30 seconds before it was disproven by what we saw). SSquad makes more sense in dealing with more street level threats and darker criminal world dealings.
The problem with the SSquad in the movie is that they did absolutely nothing that could not be accomplished by trained military officers. It turned out that simple explosions were enough to take out Enchantress and her goon brother, why did they even need the squad then? Just makes Waller look even stupider. You need something to compete with metahumans? Round up actual metahumans.

Honestly I agree. Like it was an impressive showcase of his skills, but it wasn't shot that well. There are multiple shots where you're watching him far away from behind, awkwardly framed standing on top of a car shoot at putties you can't even see. That scene in particular was one that stood out to me as missed potential even while watching it.
I mean, I guess, but the Wall isn't someone that would've taken metahumans lightly to begin with.

Huh, yeah... Still, having just seen SS a second time and confirmed my impression that it's a huge mess with some good pieces scattered throughout, I think its main problem is the editing, closely followed by the writing. The movie is actually decently filmed and even the worst performances aren't a serious liability. No, it's the way everything is mashed together in a senseless order and further spoiled with unfitting music that makes it so broken. Well, that and the major issues with character motivations and basic plot logic.
OK, so maybe that earlier cut wouldn't have fixed the bad writing, but at least it would have presented a flawed story more coherently.

Something that's sad is Keanu a comedy about a fucking cat had cooler actions scenes then SS which has fucking deadshot...
