everyone who has ever existed ever has gone out of their way to tell me that it was a bad movie but I liked it, and not even in the so bad it's good kind of way. I am not a super comic nerd but I do like comic book movies, so maybe there's some unforgivable sin that I'll just never care about

I also liked the killing joke even though everyone was really mad at that one too

am I alone in liking these movies, or is it just a bunch of nerds being mad because?

suicide squad sucked really bad

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.
I think the Killing Joke animated movie is trash, but I agree on Suicide Squad.

It was definitely rough around the edges but I came out enjoying it.

I'd rather watch Suicide Squad again then ever have to sit through Avengers 2 again.

most dc movies are hot garbage for idiots and their handling of suicide squad as a property over the last five years did nothing to engender any hope in me that it would be good as a movie

The highest of bars to clear.


Croc's design was cool and well executed. I even liked his voice/speech patterns.

Enchantress's hip shaking was a bit rough, but I legit thought it was a cool idea.

Mix of good parts and bad parts. Will watch the extended edition, but don't see how it can fix the poo poo action.

i'm very curious to see the changes in editing, IF, this is supposed to be the version before the trailer house made their cut of the movie.

I only saw the extended version of Suicide Squad and I thought it was solidly ok.

Jared Leto probably did the closest portrayal of the comic book Joker than anyone else, although Jack Nicholson will always be my favorite because of pure nostalgia.

Yes, curious if it's just more or if it's put together differently.

I would see a stand alone Leto Joker movie. I legit think given more screen time, he'd have given all those Heath Ledger masturbators a run for their money.

Leto may be method, but he doesn't have the nerve to go full-Ledger on what it takes to be a real icon. He didn't even have bullets in his gun when he ambushed Julian Lennon as prep for that Mark David Chapman movie.

I guess the only real actors are those who die needlessly from drug overdoses they could have easily avoided. :allears:

Not saying Ledger was a bad Joker or actor, but this pedestal everyone puts him on because he died is loving absurd. I say this as someone who has enjoyed almost his entire body of work.

Agreed. It was the only thing in Suicide Squad that came close to what I'd been hoping for based on Sabotage.

I am in the minority here, but Suicide Squad needed less Harley Quinn and Deadshot and more Killer Croc.

Also, the dude they got to play Rick Flagg looks and acts the least like you'd expect a Special Forces hardass to.

which training day dude had the shittier career: David Ayer or Antoine Fuqua?

I lean Fuqua cuz Ayer has like one sorta good movie

Shooter is better than anything Ayers has ever made, as justifiably acclaimed as Sabotage may be.

You must be thinking of a different movie. Fuqua's Shooter is very good, arguably one of the best movies ever made.

The argument is essentially whether Shooter is the best movie ever made or if it's a fundamentally meaningless question. It's not going to be that some other movie is better than Shooter, get real.
