[@countlessbathory1485]

​@@jyotiskoghosh8529 A film that isn't woke is one that doesn't bow down to leftist pc culture, it has offensive and edgy jokes, attractive women etc. I despise the state so mocking idiotic laws is a good thing. I guess you could view the anti government stance as being more inline with the proper definition of the term woke/ red pilled. But yeah in this context I just meant it's not fake woke, Tom MacDonald actually has a song explaining what being fake woke means and I meant that this film isn't that.

It was nice to see Harley Quinn was done well. While it was odd seeing the dictator propose to Quinn, the dictator scene displayed her personality almost beautifully. Her over the top combat scene was unrealistic how she didn’t get shot or take any damage however it showed how Harley fights, with weapons, accuracy, agility and cleverness rather than going physically toe to toe with men twice her size.

[@rafaelkresmar3998]

Additionally that whole scene ends with her getting delusional, seeing stars and roses, it's implied that none of the Harley scenes actually happened like that and that it's just what happened in her mind given how we see her unrealistic hallucinations. Yeah she freed herself from her imprisonment but did she really kill a hundred guys on her way out? Would the women working in the office above her really not have heard any gunshots and called the cops? Would the team or the taxi driver not have heard any of the chaos that supposedly happened there? Was it mostly just her Mental Illness making her think that's what happend?

[@SchmergDergen]

Yeah it’s great for Harley/Margot that they finally get to be in a good movie.

[@jessejohnson794]

She does actually go toe to toe with a few of the men in an unrealistic fashion. Did you miss the part where she lifts a man twice her size with a leg lock?

It’s kind of sad when 2004-style anti-Americanism counts as “not preachy.”

[@greygorygaming]

Wait, it's anti-American because the American government does immoral things? Are you serious?

[@interregnum_]

@@greygorygaming No. That the American government or some CIA-type organization was funding the blah blah blah is not--on its own--what I was talking about. (It's cliche as hell, but that's something else.) Rather, it's how the movie refers to these things that sounded very much like the lazy bumper sticker criticisms from 2000s-era college students: broad, generic disdain for America based on the presumption that, because America is imperfect, anything it did/does/will do is to be scorned--in blanket terms--as incomparably evil. Safe, unprincipled, self-righteous rebelliousness. Thus, all the "you Americans" lines, like it was Team America without the sense of double-edged irony.

[@greygorygaming]

@@interregnum_ I can understand that perspective more, but it was too brief for me personally. I really thought it was a joke how Americans think they can do whatever they want without considering some things since the US is a military power that is involved in a lot of conflicts.

And that it can be shrugged off as not-preachy emphasizes how bad things have gotten, was my point.

This is my favourite modern era DC movie to date and on par with Dead Pool 2. We need more movies like these and as you said DC is the only company that can, SONY could if they pulled their head out their ass and gives us R rated Venom and extended spider verse?

They did indulge in a few tired tropes in this one. 110 pound woman kills a trained soldier twice her size, lifting him off the ground. Solo hero walking straight down the hall runs into a group of soldiers who all forget they have guns and don't shoot, running away again. Then they fight her hand to hand, again forgetting they have guns, and attack one by one. But it was fun.

[@staggwellscomedy217]

I didn’t really like the chemistry between peacemaker and bloodsport. Although I didn’t mind bloodsport being the main character, I think peacemaker should have been the main character. Peacemaker is supposed to be a diplomat, a pacifist, not a killer. It would have been better if bloodsport and peacemaker actually built up their chemistry throughout the movie instead of him being a surprise villain at the end.

[@eddie7664]

I had a hard time caring about most of these characters. King Shark and the Thinker were done worlds better in the Flash show. Plus I'm still having a hard time getting past Gunn's disgusting tweets.

[@DankReaper420]

His friend was arrested for having images of children on his computer so I think it's safe to assume that the tweets were simply the tip of the ice berg. Birds of a feather flock together.

[@joseloco]

In watching this again, I realized that Peter Capaldi had reprised his character of Doctor Who in his role as the Thinker. And my favorite line of his was the one when Rat Catcher 2 asked him if he wanted rats up his @$$ and he comes back with that line... I loved it.

[@Gainn]

Was thinking the same. A lot of the Starro stuff had a DW/Torchwood vibe too. The Human Dalek Sec was my first thought on the zombies.

[@einezcrespo2107]

The Thinker was based on Malcolm Tucker from The Thick of It a show Capaldi was in. James Gunn never saw his incarnation of The Doctor.

"Ok, let's hear Nerdrotic tear this latest piece of garbage apart.." HOLY SHIT YOU MEAN IT'S WORTH WATCHING?!

[@welcometoperonia6572]

I give this film a 7. I mean, it's entertaining but then again..... comparisons are inevitable. Unlike most people, I loved Ayer's Suicide Squad ( I give it a solid 9 ), why ? because it is dark as hell an much more in line with Snyderverse's ethos ( in other words, it feels more like a Vertigo comic than a mainstream DC comic ). Gunn's The Suicide Squad feels too cheesy on its humor to my taste ( for example, Waller repeating the same description for Peacemaker and Bloodsport or scolding her team for not checking that Weasel couldn't swim ). It feels too meeehhh. The other problem is presenting Waller and most of her team as kind of incompetent, whereas in Ayer's film Waller is presented as a person with ruthless efficiency who would make sure none of her "team" will say a peep. Where is Gunn's film the Waller that would put a bullet through the head of one of her "team member" just because fucking it up ?. Why is the Waller in Gunn's film so incompetent he let herself down her guard an allow her "team members" to knock her down with a golf stick ?. It just feels like a complete waste to transform Waller into a clown in Gunn's film. The gore is a plus in this movie, it is used with the right dramatic effect, specially during Harley's breakout scene. Then again, I am not a fun of the "humor" of ridiculing the rest of the team, even if they were ignorant about the situation. To be honest, I prefered Ayer's take on the squad dynamics, making them feel the tension but without the slapstick nonsense. I'd say that those who liked Ayer's dark take on the suicide squad will say, "yeah, this film is OK but meh", whereas those who disliked it will be really hyped about Gunn's take on it.

[@rafaelkresmar3998]

Peoples taste are different and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, obviously but I'm honestly surprised by this comment. I didn't think Ayer's take was dark at all and honestly I very much prefer Waller being so overconfident that no one is going to do anything against her that she gets blindsided by her seemingly pussywhipped teammates rather than that disgusting depiction of the Joker. Jared Leto's Joker was only watchable under the assumption that it's actually Jason Todd who got tortured by the Joker into becoming the new Joker. Him joking about whoring out Harley Quinn to random nobodies really didn't seem dark but rather like an pathetic attempt at being edgy. Deadshot being just some "poor family man who just wants to provide for his Daughter" also wasn't dark but rather a very obvious attempt at manipulating the viewer into feeling bad for this guy. Or the scene where they suddenly decide to go against the Enchantress because "they want to prove themselves" or whatever it also didn't seem believeable. On the other hand there's the new Suicide Squad which is a black humor selfaware cheesy comedy movie, unlike the 2016 movie the 2021 one doesn't take itself seriously and openly admits and mocks all it's own flaws making it very clear that this movie is just for entertainment and not trying to do any moral lessons. HOWEVER I also thought Joss Whedons Justice League was terrible and that it was probably because Whedon had to somehow make the Snyder stuff work only for me to than see the Snyder Cut and think it's one of the best in recent history and sure it feels an hour too long but that movie is also 4 hours long. So who knows maybe there's actually an cut of that movie that would make that Joker acceptable but the original release version was terrible in my opinion

[@AverageJak]

your review is a more quantitative and complete view than Garys. this movie for me was Gaurdians with more violence.. ie basic story, cheap gags.. cheap heartful moments and set up. ID give it a 7 only in comparison to the other crap we have recently been subjected to.. on absolute scale id say 6

[@rafaelkresmar3998]

@@AverageJak I agree. Gardians of the Galaxy : DCU Edition would be the best short description of it.

It did not have the woke nonsense thankfully but it was blatantly anti-American. There was no real villain in the movie, just the United States.
