TFP Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Frankly, I'm kind of mad about the creative decisions around this Joker. Should all of my thug-Joker hate rest on David Ayer? Was thug-Joker solely his design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanellos Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 The real score came out today. Steven Price did awesome. I wish they didn't use his score so sparingly: The Harley and Joker theme is kick ass. No This Is Patrick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been bummed as soon as I saw the first images of the character design. Or when they announced Leto was playing him. Whatever came first. Joker/ Leto was super underwhelming. At least Robbie, Smith, and Davis did pretty well. BvS was okay, the extended cut definitely improves it some. SS was meh. It kind of felt like a stepping stone to introduce more characters into the universe rather than it being it's own movie. DC has such great characters and stories. I'm honestly confused how they could be having this much trouble making some good films. These should be like printing money. Everyone loves Batman, Superman, Joker, Harley, etc. WB needs their own Joss Wheden that understands how both comics and films work haha. At least Wonder Woman and Justice League look good.

Rip Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Saw Suicide Squad tonight finally. I enjoyed it. I'm so completely indifferent on Joker though. Like... I can't even tell if he did well or not, if that makes sense? I almost have no opinion. And I really wasn't a fan of that "laugh." Felt so incredibly forced. The movie as a whole wasn't bad though. Like I think someone mentioned before, the "jokes" felt so forced to me as well. But other than that, it was good to kick back and just have fun with the rest of it.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I really liked Batman v Superman. I've enjoyed the Superman story, and what batfleck did was pretty solid. I also didn't hate Doomsday like I was expecting. Rip and No This Is Patrick 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Nah, I don't think so. Superman and Batman stories are so well known, they can introduce WW back story right before JL, and do the cyborg/aquaman/FLASH stories right after JL.

So you're saying that they should do Cyborg, Aquaman, and Flash's origins stories AFTER Justic League? I mean, they totally could, I'm just confused as to why they would do that. I'm not saying that origin stories are absolutely necessary, it just doesn't make sense to me timeline wise. Cause at least with Marvel, all of the main characters (for the most part) have gotten origin stories before the big team ups. It just makes more sense to me to do it that way. I'm not saying one way is better than the other, I just love DC so much and want to see them start doing as well as Marvel is (movie wise). anthemforadoomed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I don't think they have time to push 3 origin stories next year before JL, so I think it makes sense to do one or two after. Forcing origin stories before JL would be overkill I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No This Is Patrick Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 There have been talks about a JL movie for years... I think the problem was having Nolan's Batman universe for eight years. It's kinda like on the Arrow TV show, I'm sure they would have done a ton more Suicide Squad episodes, but when they announced a standalone Squad movie, they killed off Waller/Lawton/etc. (in the show) to prevent confusions. At least I think that's what I read. But yeah, DC/WB seems like they are trying to play catch up to now, and I don't think that's bad. And of course, DC/WB would probably get a lot of hate for "trying to copy Marvel" if they did solo films leading up to a big group film. I think DC is doing well for a superhero franchise, people in general need to stop being so critical on every aspect of a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No This Is Patrick Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Also, just guessing, but the two "untitled" solo films, might be the solo Batman and Man of Steel sequels. Maybe. Reading some rumors of the Batman one being like the Arkham Asylum video game sounds awesome! Also, it seemed to be confirmed that the dead Robin (his graffiti-ed suit in BvS) was Jason Todd... that could make for an interesting movie or backstory... or something...

thebiglebowski Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Suicide squad had some good and some bad. The chemistry between the main squad members was great. The joker was a dud and the villain was crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atticus Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Saw it with the wife last night. Wasn't expecting much, but it wasn't the steaming pile of crap I thought it would be. The joker was almost offensively bad, but I didn't mind the squad too much. Will Smith was in prime action movie Will Smith form and I really enjoyed Harley. Some lame jokes, but overall I thought the team dynamic was as good as it could have been with such a rushed setup. What got me most was, as others have said, the pacing. It felt so chopped up, especially at the beginning. Those character introductions- woof. I also have so much unreasonable dislike for the Viola Davis, I can't explain it. I have to wonder if the joker would have been better with more context. Read something where Leto said they shot almost enough joker material to be a standalone, yet he was only in the movie for like 5 mins. All in all, looking forward to the new dc universe.

jonnystorm777 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Another rushed Dc flick. They threw tons of characters in with little back story. Likes the Joker, but hated the laugh, felt forced. Hated the stupid mutant people and the CG bad guy was terrible. I did think it was a fun movie though. Just no where near as good as Civil War or any other Marvel movie from the last few years!

No This Is Patrick Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 So Ben Affleck posted a video from the set of Justice League... or if you just want a screenshot: I thought he would be a JL baddie, but an inside source claims he'll be the main villain in the solo Batman film. I'm pretty stoked! Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the actor sucks but I'm not sure the villain will matter in this movie. I think they just needed a buff actor that could string a sentence together. Ben Affleck isn't going to live his dreams of being The Batman by writing(/directing/producing/?) his own movie and then allowing the villain to be actually cool and outshine his Batman.
