Suicide Squad (DC)*

The first full-length trailer debuted tonight and I gotta say it's quite stunningly edited. Looking forward to this one.

 

I'm looking forward to this movie too. Suicide Squad (the version this is based on) was one of the comic I read regularly, and thus instant interest when I heard about this movie. Based on the trailer, it looks like it's going to have the same grim look of the comic and I'm looking forward to seeing Will Smith as Deadshot (my favorite character from the comic, and based on what we saw here it looks he got the role right).

 

Dissapointed with the trailer.
DC still fail to impress me.

 

Good luck Jared Leto following Heath Ledger as the Joker. Dude won an Oscar for a very silly comic book character

Plus Will Smith is in it... This will be Awful !

 

I get the feeling you don't really care for comic books.

 

To the contrary. I like comic books and love The Joker. I watch and read virtually everything Batman. (Except Ben Affleck, everyone should have standards.) In fact, every time TNT or Spike reruns The Dark Knight, I feel compelled to watch it.

My point is that the he won an Oscar for a comic book character. In quite the contrarian move, Academy members awarded a comic book character a Best Supporting Actor Award. That is amazing.

 

I just wanna know who those 'eye-ball' guys are.......
being a Residents fan and all....

 

Four words: Margot Robbie, Harley Quinn

 

Looks great and I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

 

Could be great, could be garbage. Can't tell from a trailer. I always hope for the best, but see some "red flags" in this and the Superman V Batman trailers.

 

Possibly NSFW

Spoiler

 

Exactly. Which is the reason I will ultimately fast forward through this movie.

+1 to Wayne Hubbard for the nice GIFs

 

I may wind up seeing this film. The trailer somehow managed to interest me more than the various Guardians of the Galaxy trailers I saw. Laura Cameron (alas, Pan Am!) and Jordan Catalano as DC's favorite unhealthy relationship might be amusing for a while and Will Smith might just make a compelling character.

Good trailer.

 

It was fully deserved and I'd like to think otherwise but they probably only gave it to him because he died. The oscars are incredibly snobbish and I can't see them awarding one of the "big" osscars to a comic book fil under ordinary circumstances

 

pretty well done trailer (though I could have done without the really hacky superimposed text). I mean, I have no real desire to see this film, but they managed to cut a trailer that goes a bit beyond what I've seen from most comic-inspired films in recent years.

 

Suicide Squad - I take it it's a short story?

 

If it follows the comic, the reason it's informally called the "Suicide Squad" (it's real name is "Task Force X") is that the members are sent on missions where there is a good chance that at least one member won't make it back (in the first story one member died, and in another story all of the members but the leader died). The reason the villains go on the missions is that if they survive their sentence is commuted to time served and they are released. The reason that they don't escape while on a mission is that they are fitted with explosive collars that can be detonated if they try to escape. In the course of the comic, some members like Deadshot and Captain Boomerang managed to survive several missions.

 

Looks more interesting than the Supes and Bats one.

 

Hehe, apparently some toy company is already piggybacking on Harley Quinn being a breakout character. Though not official as it's labeled a female character head set and costume: http://www.kghobby.com/cat-toys-ct-001-female-character-head-sculpt-costume-set/

 

Just as with its more teasing predecessor, I love the song choice and editing of this latest trailer footage, but is anyone else getting the impression DC only greenlit this film because Marvel already beat them to the proverbial punch with Guardians Of The Galaxy, which shares a similar concept if not visual style? Also, it seems there's a lot of hate on various online fan outlets concerning the movie's depiction of Harley Quinn, though I personally have no such complaints. This went from being a distant second in interest after Dawn Of Justice to something quickly creeping up on my radar to be a highlight of 2016, and I'll cautiously reserve judgement on Will Smith... After the precedent set for comic book characters getting Oscar nods, wouldn't it be ironic if Deadshot followed The Joker, especially considering the actor behind him and very recent controversies about this year's nominees?

 

I don't get the hate on other outlets for Harley Quinn's depiction here. She totally seems to nail the character and her essence in the trailers I've seen. Putting her in the original comic costume would look absurdly cheesy and stupid. She comes across as the perfect mix of sexy, dangerous, and unstable here IMO.

 

From what I can tell, a lot of the negativity concerns Harley's accent, or at least the lack of one compared with how she was depicted in animated form - don't these people realise this is a very different take on the character?

 

Must have gone out on a limb for that one!

 

The only reason I'll go and see it. Gotta love Harley and while its early days it does look like Margot has almost nailed it.

 

Despite what I think of the track record of the DC movies so far, I am really pumped for this flick!
