Will WB release those versions? They look more fun

 

[MasterChief2829]

oh wow I wonder how Enchantress looks (middle east version)

 

[tanita_mors]

that is hysterical.

 

[C. Lee]

Would you guys be opposed to changing the title of the sequel to "Task Force X?"

Sounds too much like the X-Men movies......it will confuse some people.

I need to watch this.

Just got back from seeing it. I liked it. I was really entertained. When I walked out of BVS, it was virtually nothing like what I was hoping it would be, even after the onslaught of poor reviews, but this pretty much hit the mark for me. The villain was basically s***, yes, but lets not act like that's a remotely unique situation for a CBM in this day and age. Besides, all the worthwhile villains in this film (with one exception) were the heroes.

I was entertained. IDGAF about the hyperbole.

I am quite surprised by this. I'm glad you liked it, though. So it's two out of three for you as well, with the difference being that I liked BvS and found SS to be crappy and it's vice versa for you.

You thought Suicide Squad was crappy?

Dude I don't even know you anymore.

 

[Sleiek]

Me too Wolf. Me too.

Edit: As in I agree with Deadstroke. I don't know you anymore.

As for the rating 7-7.5/10

 

[DeadStroke]

Whats your rating for Suicide Squad?

Hey, I'm allowed to dislike one DCEU film.

Yeah, I found it to be a hot mess and way, way too timid than it should be. "Worst of the worst" my ass.

Me too Wolf. Me too.

That means you'll be joining me in drinking my dissatisfaction away? I have to warn you though... I've only got one bottle of whiskey.

 

[DarknessOfDeath]

I give it a rating of 5.5 or 6/10

if it was the version that should have been, it would be way higher than 5.5 and 6 out of 10. May just be fair and leave it at a solid 6.

 

[KillerWolf]

I assume that plot would still be very weak, but at least we'd get an actual "Dirty Dozen"-like film, with villains that appear closer to the bunch of criminals than high school friends going on an excursion.

 

[MasterChief2829]

Just ordered tix with a friend for Tuesday at the closest Marcus UltraScreen. It'll be my 4th showing :3

Its a mission movie where the twist was they were never going to save the world. They were just there to save Waller. She's the villain. She **** up and then is using the squad to cover her own butt. Then they luckily stop the problem.

I think the movie works better on a re-watch because you kind of figure out how things go (less Joker) and then you also don't have the expectations that its some huge reveal.

I think Ayer's version probably makes things a bit clearer and probably makes the the protagonists seem worse. So that when they do decide to take her at the end it feels a bit more natural.

suicide squad dominates despite medias gloom and doom

I think it would be cool if in a sequel they take some inspiration from the new 52 Squad series and the bombs have a time limit for them to complete their mission or they explode. I guess that would also take inspiration from Escape From New York as well.

 

[reaperdakid]

Idk if this is of topic but how would u compare some of these squad members to there arrow verse counterparts

For movie vs tv show I prefer the movie versions for Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, and Amanda Waller. Katana in Arrow season 3 had more focus on her husband and we don't get to know Katana very well in the movie so for her I'm in the middle.

I agree with all expect captain

 

[Juan1193]

The movie version has a far better roster of characters imo

 

[Vengeance of Bane]

I really enjoyed Bvs, but I have to say that SS was a huge disappointment. This doesn't fell like an Ayer movie at all. Harley Quinn and Deadshot were ok, but the rest of the characters were hardly given any time to develope. I never read into what the critics say, but with this I have to agree, but still it doesn't deserve such a low score on RT. The Joker was a huge disappointment, but that could be due to all the deleted scenes. But, he never "feels" dangerous or menacing... and in my opinion he doesn't really fit into this version of the batman character... Just my thought after having watched it an hour ago...

"SUICIDE SQUAD'S" Joel Kinnaman sees a silver lining in critics' poor reviews.

http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/kinnamanfinds-the-silver-lining-in-critics-poor-suicide-squad-reviews

On tour promoting his latest film, "Edge of Winter," Kinnaman had no delusions that "Suicide Squad" was anything more than what they set out to make -- a summer tent pole movie. "There's no big political aspirations about the film; it doesn't take itself that seriously. The only way it takes itself seriously is portraying these characters in an honest way. I really think we did that, and I'm proud of my work and everyone else's work in that film, too."

For Kinnaman, though, all those bad reviews had a silver lining, as the actor believes the reviews lowered fan expectations/ "Now people don't have too-high expectations for it…people went into the theaters and just got entertained by what they saw. So I was really happy with how that whole thing turned out."

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Jay Hernandez would like to return for a sequel.

http://dccomicsmovie.com/jay-hernandez-talks-on-diablo-returning-in-a-suicide-squad-sequel/

Hernandez remains hopeful that he could return should a sequel to Suicide Squad get made. “Of course there is [a chance he could return]! I’m not saying anything, just that it’s a possibility.”

 

[AnneFan]

I'm hoping SS grows on me over time. Fingers crossed.

Probably get bashed for this but I actually prefer the TV shows version of Deadshot. Not that Will was bad, he was OK, but he felt more like a hero who "says" he's a bad guy, rather than actually being a bad guy. The TV version was an a-hole with some small redeeming qualities, just my preference, I like the TV characterization better. Will's definitely the better actor, but I liked the TV versions personality better. "We are bad guys afterall", Will should have played a hero character.

Katana was definitely better in Arrow, even the costume is better which was surprising, the movie versions mask is better but that's it, the design of Arrow's is better overall IMO. Karen is the more believable actress, looks far more intimidating but she has barely anything to do in the movie.

The rest are much, much better in the movie. Boomerang in Arrow is 100% forgettable, while Jai wasn't given a huge role I thought he was really good.

I disagree on Deadshot.

Will Smith's version of Deadshot in "Suicide Squad" fits the character much better.

Arrow's version of Deadshot when he was just a villain going after Green Arrow...I can understand.
