re: Suicide Squad ***SPOILERS*** and Review Thread

One of the commandos. And I honestly don't know if he lived or died.

Leto's not happy about the Joker scenes being cut. I'm curious to see if Leto's even interested in coming back after this.

Will we ever see those cut Joker scenes? “Were there any that didn’t get cut? I’m asking you, were there any that didn’t get cut? There were so many scenes that got cut from the movie, I couldn’t even start,” Leto said. “I think that the Joker… we did a lot of experimentation on the set, we explored a lot. There’s so much that we shot that’s not in the film.

“If I die anytime soon, it’s probably likely that it’ll surface somewhere. That’s the good news about the death of an actor is all that stuff seems to come out.”

Video Interview with Leto

I've heard that a lot of his scenes that were cut did not test well. Who knows really. But honestly, it's no big deal if he doesn't come back. He was an Ayer vision and his reception has been OK to bad anyway. I would be fine if he stayed, but if he left, I would welcome a new take.

ETA: He was definitely anxious to come back in this interview from a few days ago:

I hope Suicide Squad is an introduction and not the end! Because I could easily just play the Joker a couple more times and then retire. Because it’s so fulfilling and so creative and it’s so imaginative. It’s really difficult to think about doing anything else! I think it would be incredible to see Batman and the Joker go head-to-head! This Batman and this Joker. I mean, I don’t know, that might be too much! But that would be fun.

Jared Leto already wants to play Joker again

Honestly I think it's a question of what Affleck wants going forward more than anything.

I also don't trust what WB says on anything right now

WB ain't sayin shite right now except "Go see Suicide Squad."

I was actually thinking this was a pretty good movie until it went off the rails with the CGI shitfest at the end. The final battle felt like something out of a completely different film -- something like Green Lantern mixed with Gods of Egypt mixed with Wrath of the Titans.

It's nowhere near as bad as the Rotten Tomato score indicates but I wouldn't say it's a great film. It probably still falls short of the expectations DC has of this franchise.

I also get a chuckle out of all the hard core reviews on this movie. It's not as if we were walking in to Godfather 2, anything by Fellini, Kurosawa or Houston.
Reminds me of when critics were slamming Pacific Rim on plot. It was giant robots fighting giant aliens. What the hell did you expect? Schindlers list?

He got to make out with Robbie for most of his scenes. I'd want to come back too.

His dad is American and he grew up speaking English while In Sweden. I am not sure if it's his true accent but it is how he speaks in the interviews I've see from him. I do remember when batman begins came out Christian bale gave interviews with an American accent.

I blame the style of this Joker, more than I do Leto for his execution of the character. The Marilyn Manson-wannabe, drug kingpin look doesn't work for such an iconic role.
