Dead in his sights...Will Smith Is Deadshot!

[Sterling Archer]

This movie would have been certified fresh if Will had rapped over the credits.

 

[BatsDC]

One of the few highlights.

 

[harlequinade]

Smith was amazing here. Big hit with the audience, I think he was people's fav along with Harley. Him standing on the hood of the car and shooting was the movie's most EPIC moment by far

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah he had some great scenes. I especially loved his intro when we see him strong arm his employer into paying him. So cool.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

Like Robbie's Quinn, I really enjoyed Smith's Deadshot. Nuff said. He was one of the best things about SS.

 

[KillerWolf]

Much to my surprise, I didn't mind him. He was Will Smith with an eyepiece alright, but he was amusing.

 

[Doctor Octopus]

Will Smith was great at playing Will Smith who shoot guns great lol.

 

[MadVillainy]

He was cool.

I love Will Smith. Never got why the fanboy community doesnt like him much. Fresh Prince is literally my favorite show of all time.

But I wish he did something a little different. Yes he was playing Will Smith and he was good at doing it, but I wish his character was a little different from what Smith has done before. That's why I was so excited to see him do it. Deadshot in this was basically Mike Lowry turned evil

I was so happy to see the classic Will Smith back. He' been doing this super serious, morose schtick for the past decade and it doesn't work for him. Will is at his best when he's his normal charming, funny, charismatic self. I'm so happy Ayer brought this back out of Smith.

 

[MadVillainy]

I never noticed that. Yeah since 2006 the only classic Will Smith performance was in MIB 3 and I thought that sucked.

This^^

 

[RodtheMan]

Him and Margot as Harley were easily the best parts. And Davis as Waller as well. If the movie doesn't get a sequel, I hope he returns in another DCEU film. That's one of the positives points of the DCEU... the chance to see plenty of different characters in other films. Crossing fingers.

 

[Enriquespy]

He certainly carries the film, it was a great casting choice.

 

[Smilodon]

I thought he captured Ostrander's Deadshot pretty well when they had him actually do it, like when he threatened Boomer or acted all cynical and sarcastic in front of Flag. Or when he finally got his hands on a gun. He just had a few more Will Smith moments peppered throughout, which were fine. The triangle line had me in stitches.

But yeah, in a proper SS film, I think Smith would've been more darker and nihilistic like comic Floyd is.

 

[Guts]

When Harley asked Deadshot if he was ever in love he told her that people like him don't sleep at night if they feel love and she classifies him as a textbook sociopath. Later when Deadshot, Harley, Flag, and El Diablo have hallucinations of what they want the most. Harley dreams of a normal life which was referenced in the bar scene with her rant to El Diablo "Normal is the setting on a dryer, people like us don't get normal", for Flag it's being with June and she isn't possessed by the Enchantress, for El Diablo it's his wife and children still alive, and for Deadshot it is the Batman dead. The difference is that Deadshot's fantasy was the only violent one. Instead of a fantasy where he is simply with his daughter, his fantasy is that he killed someone which is what his daughter doesn't want. I guess Deadshot was telling the truth and he doesn't feel love.

 

[Tony Gunk]

Smith was excellent. Full credit to him, I'd love to see him play the character again

 

[Greenlite]

This movie would have been certified fresh if Will had rapped over the credits.

I was hoping to see that Smith/Leto collaboration for the end credit, damn it If we're in the 90s that'd have happened.

When Harley asked Deadshot if he was ever in love he told her that people like him don't sleep at night if they feel love....

Wow fascinating. Maybe he wants the bat dead so he could be with his daughter?

 

[Guts]

And he still could have had that without Batman dead.

 

[DeadStroke]

And he still could have had that without Batman dead.

I really think they're setting up that Tuco role..

 

[LoganGambit87]

Will Smith stole the show for me he was better than Harley for me and i left suicide squad actually wanting Batman fighting Deadshot in batman solo movie more than the joker

 

[Nokio]

Smith was hands down the best. He stole the show. Nice to see classic Will. Yeah he was Smith being Smith but damn if he wasn't good.

 

[KillerWolf]

I really think they're setting up that Tuco role..

That's the impression I got as well. Thought the comparison of Will Smith's role to Eli Wallach's Tuco always make me flinch. But I get the context in which it's being brought up.

I thought this was a pretty weird choice. Does he really hate batman that much? After all the stuff they do to jam his love for his daughter down our throats, hes really just a sociopath? It kinda makes no sense

 

[Guts]

His fee to kill that snitch was a million dollars and he hassled that guy for an extra million. What his daughter wanted him to do before Batman showed up was to quit being a hitman and it's not like he's low on money. He could probably retire and movie out of Gotham with his daughter if he wanted to.

I think they took his obsession to kill Batman straight out of Ostrander's comics. I am glad they went for a sociopathic portrayal (also taken from SS comics), I just wish they have made the character darker. But I wish that for all of those so called "villains".
