Hey there, @ziofeda! Oh, the stars just didn't seem to align on this one, eh, my friend? Never mind, the great thing about "any" movie really is no singular viewing will ever be replicated in the same way. By any of us. That's even more evident by the huge disparity of opinions in the comments, lol! And I get your references to some plot-holes (I couldn't talk much about them without giving too much away, but we both know they do exist). I also feel your dislike for Leto just added fuel to the fire which didn't help the movie from your perspective too, lol. But of course, I completely respect your opinion. Like anything, we predetermine what we are about to see and if it reaches or exceeds those expectations. In this case, for myself, they got pretty high. Possibly because I cut them some slack on the "character building" side of things given time constraints or simply being somewhat "too late to the party"? Not sure, but I still reckon they could have done a whole lot worse with the tools they had to work with.
Thank you for blessing my comment section with your presence and value again. Hopefully the stars "will" re-align once more for the next time... :
Well, you are probably right. I still enjoyed Suicide Squad better than I did Batman vs Superman, and I have to say DC is starting to get in the right direction, I really liked Wonder Woman, for the most part. They still have this way of letting conflicts resolve in what might be defined as bar fights, but they'll get better with that too.
The thing is, you should create a build up of tension and character development before a group movie. Maybe knowing some characters in advance would have helped. In Suicide Squad you don't really care that much about what happens to them because you haven't even had time to know them that well, and I feel that's the main thing that didn't really work with the movie.
Thank you for your kind and unexpected words!
I want to see the original David Ayer cut. This movie was cut by trailer makers. I like it though, they should have just made Joker the main bad guy, instead of the hot mess they went up against.
