We're never getting a traditional Batman vs Joker movie are we. I probably should just go rewatch the The Dark Knight. Still the GOAT IMO.

Waller just blasting FBI agents and everyone else is cool with that.
Yes. And the hidden mission, not once, but twice is to find Waller. Yep, she's THAT important. No worries about Enchantress channeling her inner Ghostbusters, mission is to save Waller.

Then Enchantress has this master plan to reclaim her place in Stargate lore by building this machine weapon to destroy human armies because humans worship machines. Then when she has Waller in front of her, Enchantress basically asks what are human army weaknesses... you know, so the "machine" that is 90% complete, but is not a "machine" will know what to do?

Ok so not "amazing" but still pretty damn entertaining. I went in with low expectations. Many of y'all make good points but this was my first movie in probably 1.5 years at the theatre. It was nice to just enjoy it for what it was and not nitpick cinematography and try to be a film critic.


My only gripe which has been mentioned numerous times already was Enchantress' jolting dance moves.

More points


-when they first rescue Waller, she holds the button that can kill them, pretty much every one of them could've taken her out in a moments notice before she could click it

-bringing in the guy just to die was poorly done. Overall they spent so much time introducing Deadshot, Harley, and the joker that they just rushed in the other members in 2 minutes. Then they bring in the "climber" in the most obvious "he's here to die" moment I've ever seen

- why was there like a weird implied Deadshot/Harley romance going on there? They wouldn't commit one way or the other and it lead to a lot of wasted scenes


Seriously tho Croc Killer will go down as the next terrible "villian" along with Arnold's Mr Freeze, and Bane from that same movie. "YO I WANT B.E.T!!"

Idk who that is but Fwiw I'm a DC guy, and have been hype about this movie for a while. Really wanted to love the movie, and half of it I did like, the other half was just super terrible

He's a big DC and Superman fan who hated BvS. Some pretty well known posters on here have called him very honest. I believe with movie reviews he is. I mean, it's just his opinion, but I'm surprised that he liked it that much. He's been ragging on DC since BvS came out and praising Marvel. I agree with him a lot, not always, but a lot. I'm personally more pumped about it now.

ETA: More than anything, I'm just fascinated by all of this mixed reception. It's definitely apparent that a majority of critics didn't like it, as far as the general public, it's been a mixed bag from "AWESOME" to "complete shite" and everything in between. It's fascinating.

I agree with this entire post.

I like it and then I don't. I would rewatch it really just to get more of Harley. Will was great but at times I felt like he was hogging the screen time. It was like "Alright Will's lines here then cut to Robbie then insert support character here, back to Will again."

Though I can see why they did that. There were times they really needed somebody to come along and say something to keep the audience there.

I like Leto...except the Grill. Well, that and he looks like some 20 year old douche bag. Maybe I'm just "spoiled" by Ledger's performance as Joker and I shouldn't expect that every time, but I imagine Joker being a guy that has seen and done some shite. A high IQ guy that is always one (or three) step(s) ahead. i just don't get that feel from this Joker.

WTC and some others have been spot on with their assessments IMO. It's a mixed bag, but not complete shite.

Personally I was looking forward to this movie for a while, but not more than my son18. And with movies like this we usually go together with a diverse group - same with TFA and others - 60yo, me, wif, son18, d14 and one or two others. I get a good cross-section of opinions.

I thought Leto did a good job for what little he was in the film . Harley Quinn was the most entertaining character of the film in my opinion.

The new (rumored) Arkham Batman film with Joker and Harley Quinn should be fantastic.

Did Eastwood and Diablo both die at the end? They were never spoken of after that final fight. Also im not huge on the comics, so what was the stuff Harely jumped into that the joker jumped in after her?

I wouldn't say it was horrid but not amazing like some are saying. It had major flaws. 5 or 6 out of 10

That comes from the Hunt for Harley Quinn...Joker took her to where he was "born" and pushes her in the same chemicals he fell in to.

It's rumored that the new Ben Affleck Batman Reboot will take place in Arkham Asylum and will focus around Joker v Batman

More bad news for the studio. THR is reporting the film is unlikely to be shown in China. So no Mexico and no China.
