Warner Bros. just wants to make bad DC films
However, once they realize they weren’t picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it’s every man for himself? This is the first time that we get to see Harley Quinn in a live-action film and Margot Robbie does an incredible job portraying everyone’s favorite mallet swinging jester. A day after Cara Delevingne hit out at “really horrible” critics, three more cast members spoke out while walking the red carpet.
The two main issues with Suicide Squad that I’ve run into online seem to be not enough Joker and the poor choice for the villain.
Early in the year the film underwent an extensive, costly series of reshoots reportedly to give it a more lighthearted tone. But this cut of the movie is my cut, there’s no sort of parallel universe version of the movie, the released movie is my cut.
Joe Morgenstern wrote in the Wall Street Journal: “In a word, Suicide Squad is trash”.
Well, all has been revealed following the news that Snyder – who will next direct DC mashup Justice League – is actually responsible for directing one of the film’s scenes. I think the characters are incredible. By the end of the weekend, the David Ayer-directed antihero Squad will be wreaking havoc in 57 worldwide hubs, representing 70% of the offshore footprint.
The worst heroes ever just scored the best August preview ever, with “Suicide Squad” raking in $20.5 million Thursday night at the domestic box office. I was excited for this film but I was a bit disappointed.
Snarky reviews aside, Suicide Squad is shaping up to have a pretty bloody massive opening weekend.
Director David Ayer also played up the critics-as-sad-basement-dwelling-freaks angle, saying “I made the movie for real people who live in the real world”.
