Brick Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 I was wondering why there was another new trailer already, but then I realized this was for all ages rather than a red band trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to be so much fun! Is that a rumour or just fan casting and wishing? Not that I would be opposed to it.

brucoe Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Part of me is interested in seeing this only because they're doing a really good job of not focusing on Harley Quinn, unlike the previous installments involving her. Every time they focus on her as the selling point, they sort of go the completely wrong direction with their films. And this is coming from someone who actually likes the character.

Kamusha Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Apparently this movie is SUPER violent. Like, more violent than we typically expect from an R-rated superhero flick, perhaps would have even earned an X rating a few years ago. Gunn must have had a field day letting loose after making two movies for Disney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 So it's infinitely better & far more coherent than the 2016 debacle. Lots of laughable moments that were enjoyable & the characters were, for the most part, quite likeable & personable. The style that exists isn't in lieu of substance, but enhances it. Always have been a massive King Shark fan & that character delivers in spades. Cena may have found THE perfect role in Peacemaker & I'm anxious to see that show whenever it airs. Idris killed it as always while David "Dat-Small-Chin" is sublime in everything he does so that's an automatic win! Overall, I'd give it a solid 7/10 (maybe 7.5) & it does have moments that I would totally enjoy watching again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I enjoyed it. It's often pretty funny, surprising enough, occasionally endearing. It finds time for all the characters to have something to do. It's easily my favorite recent DC film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 It’s fun enough, but it feels like a weird hedge between Guardians, which wears its heart on its sleeve as its strength, and something like The Boys, where everyone is behaving badly all the time. This generally works but it never really has the feels of Guardians nor the pathos of The Boys. Just about everything that happens here is profoundly stupid which is fine until it wants you to care about a specific character for a tick, then it gets stupid again. And it pulls that trick a BUNCH of times. Definitely worth the stream if you’ve got HBO Go, and hey it’s not four motherfucking hours long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury33 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Absolutely loved it. I don’t think it’s any more violent than most action movies but it’s way gorier in what they show. Sometimes it’s gross, sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s awesome, and sometimes it’s kinda existential? It’s almost like a class in violence haha. I don’t think it’s a fault that it’s mostly silly/crazy and then it pulls you in to care for a little bit before going right back to being silly because that’s who those characters are at their core and it also earns those brief emotional moments. At the end of the day, like the movie or not, it’s another DC movie that’s infinitely more interesting and memorable than anything Marvel has photocopied lately.

You can feel the GOTG formula and its starting to get stale . My biggest complaint is Harley Quinn, I am burned out on the "LoL i Am So RaNdOm" schtick .

ort Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 My problem is that I find the character of Harley Quinn to be annoying as hell. She was great in the old 90s cartoon, but she's morphed into this really weird creation. She's like the most "male" version of an empowered woman ever created. Everything about her character feels completely wrong. I'll admit that I haven't watched/read much of her recent stuff, but that's because it always turns me off so quickly.

She's not interesting in this movie. The whole subplot of her getting married and then killing that guy is one of the silliest plot dumps ever, and not the fun kind of silly, it's just lousy. I think that's the larger issue with the movie, the whole revolutionary / US coverup of alien research... thing is completely unnecessary and half baked at best. The movie wants us to simultaneously care about the revolution happening but ignore the population getting wiped by Starro. Guardians 2 had this problem as well, giving Yondu a hero's sendoff after it's revealed tat he participated in the abduction of and was complicit in the killing of hundreds if not thousands of children. But the Guardians don't pointlessly and remorselessly slaughter a village of freedom fighters we're then immediately supposed to care about so 2 of the characters can have a pissing contest. It's just sloppy. And this is hardly a revelation, but... John Cena might not be great at acting? Or maybe he just wan't really given anything interesting to do here?
