Imperialism it's not the US fault blame Europe they caused WW2 and created communism which caused the US to become the stabilizing force though we weren't meant to keep the position but everyone else got lazy and now the US has to keep the order or it all falls apart.

Acting as if communism is a pathway to a utopia even though we have seen it's worse then the democratic capitalism of the US. Sure the US has its fault but it's not the worse it's way better. Like this whole Covid thing no one has gotten the guts to condemn or strongly question china of there possible connection to the outbreak but these people will condemn the US for the George Floyd death and the "mismanagement" of Covid and the Vaccines and Americans questioning the virus origins and so on. They point to the US but ignore everyone else and as an American I'm tired of my country being crapped on by other countries no better then my own.

FWIW I do miss the ability to enjoy ridiculousness when I go see a movie, that's one of the reasons I appreciate James Gunn as a director. I have the ability to see the movie for what it is, not some kind of life lesson, not some kind of inspirational epiphany, just stupid, violent way to laugh at the ludicrous, I understand context and compartmentalize what I see as silly, made up fun. Isn't this why we have a rating system? Does everything have to be made to not insult the more sensitive of us? The film's title includes the word "SUICIDE" in it. If you're disgusted or shocked because of the violence affecting your kid, then that's on YOU. Let the rest of us have our 'stupid time'. Life isn't easy, sometimes it's fun to dive into the absurd.

[@sierra7202]

I 100% agree! So many people have forgotten what movies are about. We want to escape from real life & forgot about everything in the real world for a couple hours. We are constantly bombarded & reminded of how bad things are in the world & in our own lives. There's a Pandemic that has been going on for a little over a year. We all have a house or rent & bills that we struggle to pay every single day. There are people dying every single day from Covid who refuse to get vaccinated or can't get vaccinated. We have people starving, homeless and needing medical care. Real life is all around us, smacking us in the face and laughing. When I go to see Suicide Squad or similar movies I just want to have a good time. Just sit back & relax. If it's possible I put my feet. I pay money to see a movies where I can get a few laughs & have a good time at. I just want to enjoy my snacks, relax, laugh & have fun myself. When I go to movies like the Suicide Squad, I'm not looking to see if it's morally right or wrong. I not looking or counting how many people died in the movie. People die everyday in the world and people are upset because this movie shows violence & deaths. I would be more upset about what's actually going on in the real world. If you want to make change start there. If you don't want your kids seeing movies like this just don't let them. If your kid does something violent they didn't get the urge from a movie, song or game. They already had violent tendencies. Quit blaming movies, music and games. Take responsibility!

What really made this movie for me was honestly Will Smith being gone. Having him outta the way allowed other characters to breathe. The other one was just Will Smith and friends with Harley and Joker getting a few scenes here and there. And I do mean Will Smith because there was not an ounce of Deadshot in that role. It just felt like they let Will Smith be himself. He might as well have been his character from Bad Boys or MiB. Here, everyone gets their moments to shine and the movie is better for it. Even Rick Flag of all people finally got his moments. They also did a better job with the humor. SS tried to be funny but TSS was actually funny and it had great jokes. They have jokes that they build up throughout the movie and they don't pay off immediately, then the joke comes through and it's hilarious.

@@nobodyspecial675 No a reboot is when you start the idea of a franchise over. It has been INCORRECTLY used "to refer to both sequels and remakes". A remake is taking one story and using the same plot but making a change here or there to reflect the time it is being made. King Kong 1933 vs King Kong 1976. Same basic story but the details are different. A sequel is another story that usually continues the story of at least some of the people in the previous film. Sometimes the story is directly related to the previous story sometimes not. Then we started getting heavily into franchises with continuity. If one of those franchises got stuck or unpopular you may have the idea redone. THIS is where Reboot came in with its invitation held firmly in hand. The term reboot came from rebooting a computer. You start a computer and you have several programs you can run. That is what you can do with that computer. so you run Excel, Chrome and play Solitare. You then reboot the computer. You still have the same programs (essentially the concept of the franchise) but you can now do different things with those programs (essentially the plot and the characters)

Idris Elba would make a great James Bond, but who knows if we will get to see that opportunity happen. He did an awesome job as Bloodsport. The movie was way better than the other one.

[@m.worthy]

He doesn't even need to be _"James Bond"_ . In Ian Fleming's vision, Bond is not the only MI6 00 _("Double O")_ agent... In the upcoming 2021 Bond movie, _'No Time To Die'_ , the character *"Nomi"* _(Lashana Lynch)_ is a 00 agent, apparently being designated *007* because Bond, _now the ex-007_ , is living in exile in Jamaica. So yeah, _Idris (or another actor) wouldn't need to be the character "James Bond" to be a MI6 00 agent_ . Idris or another actor could be 001, 003, 008...007... No need to be named "James Bond" per se. Hell, his name could be _"Robert DuBois"_ 😳, or in the case of 007 (2021), Nomi.

[@austinauthor846]

What a fantastic movie. I sympathize when a studio has to take a gamble on hiring a director in the hopes they 'get it' and feel confident giving them full creative control. James Gunn clearly gets it with superheroes. He's proven it three times now. I'm not convinced that David Ayer's cut would have saved that first Suicide Squad movie. Anyone who has seen Bright would know exactly what I'm talking about.

The main thing I hated about the movie were those annoying office workers working for Amanda Waller I kept hoping they'd die horrible deaths. Especially when they betrayed Waller she isn't the type of person you'd want to cross, her character is as ruthless as she is patriotic.

I like that they learned from the first movie. Instead of making some edgy Zack Snyder type film, the added humor, grittiness, and heart. Unfortunately, the first film killed any type of interest in the second film. Not to mention the HBO Max release.

Did anybody else notice the similarities between the "Starro" zombie scene in this movie and the "Starla" zombie scene in Slither? Just a funny link I made while watching it, even if it's unintentional. I kind of would love to think that J. Gunn was making the connection as well though. But probably not. 😄

[@marklouis1890]

This is totally the superior version

[@Psmgamer]

I saw it last night and enjoyed it. John Cena as Peacemaker was hilarious. King Shark reminded me of Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy. Glad Harley Quinn wasn't the focus point of the movie like the first one was. Polkadot Man was hilarious as well, I loved the running gag about his mom. James Gunn was a good choice for Suicide Squad, the movie had the right about of humor and being serious at times. I can't wait to see what happens to the Squad next.

[@JakeMogstad]

This movie was way better, I wanna see it again.

[@liferealgood]

The movie is actually good. I wasn’t sure about the blatant Will Smith replacement and the Peacemaker characters but they work. They really do work. The scene where they kill the rebels in the jungle is hilarious and crazy.

Seems to fit just fine in the Snyderverse though unless people are forgetting but the shitshow called Man of Steel and Dawn of Justice was pretty violent too.

With this R rating this just bumps it up to damn near ridiculous levels of violence. I won't lie it's all a bit much sometimes.

[@thefilmpunch]

Loved The Suicide Squad, definitely going to watch it at least one more time before I do my review for it. Ratcatcher 2 definitely stole the show for me, I didn’t expect much from her character but I was pleasantly surprised. Bloodsport was awesome, so was King Shark and Polkadot Man as well as Harley Quinn and Rick Flag. I love the King Shark from the Harley Quinn show and I love this adaptation as well. (Kind of prefer the Harley Quinn show tbh) This adaptation does make more sense for the character, Sylvester Stallone killed the voice acting.
