Suicide Squad (David Ayer, 2016) Movie • Page 59

Mel Gibson makes no sense to me, but I'm having trouble thinking of anyone that would make sense to me other than Ayer

 

This was a mediocre movie and I dislike Will
Smith more with everything he does but I thought he was really good in this. Would like to see more of his character in something.

 

i thought this movie was terrible. just cringed all the way throughout. the editing flaws were pretty obvious in certain parts as well. i loved will and margot, but even they couldn't save it.

 

I really wanted to like Leto's Joker but I hated it.

 

Mel Gibson. Wow. Um. It makes sense, given the trainwreck.

 

I would much rather Mel Gibson make another movie besides a sequel to Suicide Squad. I like his films but I don't even see him being able to redeem suicide squad.

 

Gibson? I thought Ayer was already locked in for the sequel? I guess not...

 

Ayer is doing Gotham City Sirens, which is a Harley/Poison Ivy/Catwoman movie I think. I think they should scrap that and let Ayer do SS2 since he's already familiar with it all and I thought given his honestly about what went wrong with the movie, he'd make a good sequel hopefully.

This made me LOL. For sure, as much bad press as DC is getting every day, how is throwing Gibson's name out going to make it better?

Yes, I like all of his movies and he is a hell of a film maker, but I'd rather him do something of his own and not take on superheroes. Esp when he doesn't even seem to like the DCEU movies. Also who wants to see a PG13 Gibson movie?

Ayer wasn't necessarily the problem on the first film, but here's hoping the sequel is decent I guess.

 

Ehhh...Ayer certainly didn't help by creating a toxic set.

 

The script was baaaaad

 

I was honestly not aware of a toxic set, so that does definitely add to things.

 

Wonder if Ivy and Catwoman will be in the sequel to set up Gotham City Sirens. If that's still happening...

Edit: Guess GCS will be out before SS2

 

This can't be as bad as the first

 

Whyyyyyyy. There are so many other things DC could do instead of making a sequel to this.

 

Pretty sure the first movie did VERY well for them financially

 

I am honestly not impressed with this movie, I just hope that they give justice to the story of this villain. Something is missing in this film the reason why it didn't receive great reviews.

 

I enjoyed this movie but it definitely want without faults

 

Ayer wrote this awful script. He's absolutely at fault.

 

Unfortunate that they are making a sequel. First one is just about unwatchable. I can honestly say there's literally nothing I liked about it save for the Batman cameos. Don't know off hand whats on deck for DC but I'd rather have another go at Green Lantern than this.

 

The first one was terrible but it was a lot of fun and all of my issues with it were pretty specific. A sequel could be great if it fixes issues with the script (less "we need to stop the apocalypse" and more character moments) and edit it in a way that makes competent sense.

 

This absolutely needs a sequel, what are you guys on about? We have such a fantastic cast and characters to explore. Sucks Ayer may not be involved since he made that statement about how he should have made it a smaller, personal story instead of a save the world story. I'd love to see him back and give all the characters some good moments.

 

I turned my brain off and enjoyed watching the first one, but I have zero interest in a sequel unless it changes A LOT about the writing/characters.

 

Yeah, I don't really want a sequel. Put Harley Quinn in her own film (which is basically what that Gotham City Sirens film in development is, but I think the film should be called "Harley Quinn" and should have a woman at the helm who can give us a compelling arc for Harley abandoning the Joker).

None of the other characters really need used again anytime soon, considering how many characters and potential franchises DC is juggling at the moment. This cast just shouldn't be a top priority. But, if they REALLY need to have the characters show up again soon, do so outside of Suicide Squad. Put Boomerang in the Flash film. Waller can make an appearance in a Batman, Justice League, or Harley Quinn. Deadshot is the only character besides Harley who's really worth returning to in any significant way, but he's also a character that'd be fine to put on the shelf for a little while as DC develops some of their other characters.
