Suicide Squad - Have you seen it?

Toby · ‎15-08-2016

Hi guys,

As many of you know, there are some comic-book fans in the team!

Suicide Squad has recently been released and has attracted a variety of different reviews; Some beaming and some not so much.

No one in the community team has been it yet, but has anyone in the community? What did you think? Would you recommend? No spoilers without a tag please

I want to see it but people are giving it negative reviews because the trailers & everything released up to the release focuses heavily on the joker when it's not actually a Joker film. It just "features" the character

We saw it at the weekend, and didn't think it was too bad, some plot holes and it seems to be set straight after Batman vs Superman.

Also the Joker undertones are there but it's a sort of origin story as well for the other characters

I'd give it 8/10

Not seen it yet but really want to. Just wondering whether to go to the cinema or wait til the Blu Ray release... Have listened to the sound track and really enjoyed that.
There was a fan who was going to sue the studio over the misleading nature of the trailer - ie, there were scenes shown that were not in the film!

@gmarkj That happens with a lot of films anyway but a lot of this negativity is all to do with apparently lack of jared Leto screen time as the Joker

gmarkj · ‎16-08-2016

Agreed, and not an issue for me but as the agrieved fan says, the trailers do make out that there is a lot more of the Joker in the film.
That said, as he is not in the squad itself it is not surprising that he is just part of the supporting cast...

Exactly @gmarkj. He's not a part of the squad. I'll definitely be off to see it though. I hope to see Deadshot and Joker in the standalone Batman movie too. That's the DC movie I'm not excited about. I thought Ben Affleck was an awesome Batman.

Who was your favourite Joker guys? Some say Heath, some say Jack. Some even say Cesar

I think they were very different versions, and difficult to compare.

Jack's was a little less unhinged - still off beat, and very well done.

Heath though captured just how little he cared about anything other than causing chaos, and how much he wanted to drag everyone (but mainly Batman) down to his level.

Think I need to go and watch the original Batman film again...

I'll just leave this here.

IMHO, Affleck is the best batman seen on screen yet, by a loooooong margin too.

Nailed it 100%

Ledger nailed joker in "that cinematic" and could not have been done better, but that's in Nolans story, he wouldn't have that impact in burtons, Schumacher etc stories.

But yes, I consider ledgers joker the best.

Time will tell."
