With Suicide Squad releasing this weekend, I'm just curious as to what everyone thinks of it so far. For those who have seen it already that is. Spoilers are welcome, but please put them in the spoiler box so as not to ruin it for those that haven't seen it yet. Then if they feel like they need to know, they can just click show spoiler. I got to see it Thursday night at a late night premiere screening. The auditorium was packed, I'm talking not one empty seat. From a story narrative, I highly enjoyed it. For the most part, it's just your stereotypical action flick with DC characters thrown in. The film does tend to focus more on Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Amanda Waller, and Rick Flag. But we do get some nice character development for Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc, and El Diablo as well. [spoiler]Honestly wasn't surprised that Slipknot was killed trying to escape He is hardly marketed in the trailers or other material.[/spoiler] I'll say it right now. I loved Jared Leto's Joker. I was a little hesitant when they first revealed him. But he was fantastic. My only problem is that his screen time is very short. I know they wanna save him for Justice League or the solo Batman film, but what they do to viewers with him is like a woman playing just the tip. Sorry if that comment offends anyone, particularly the ladies, but it's the most fitting analogy. Then we come to the technical aspects of the film. The worst part of this film is the editing. This film cuts around all over the place. A scene will be playing out and it's getting a nice flow to it and suddenly the scene jumps to something else. For those that don't know, the film had to go back and do reshoots following the slaughter of Batman v Superman by critics. You can see where those reshoots took place. There are several scenes in the trailers that don't even appear in the film or they were clearly reshot and look different. The big scene omissions that pissed me off were the Joker's "I can't wait to show you my toys" and "bye bye/grenade" scenes, as well as the bar scene where Harley asks what everyone wants. That particular scene was reshot into something else. Overall, I think Suicide Squad had the potential to be one of the best movies of the year. Sadly it is going to be held down by the mistakes of Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman to which David Ayer had to play to. It's certainly a step in the right direction. Better than both Man of Steel and Batman v Superman. I have faith that the DCEU will improve. I'm already liking what I'm seeing from the Justice League and Wonder Woman trailers. I would say I'd give Suicide Squad a 7 out of 10 rating. What about y'all?
