WMNews: What Happened with Suicide Squad?


now they say that the crazy ones
sometimes it’s best to be bad they get
caught we throw them under the bus
welcome to watchmojo.com for me in this
installment we’re counting down 5
crucial facts you should know about the
blockbuster movie release of Suicide
Squad number 5 why was Suicide Squad
such a big deal after a less than
lukewarm response to 2013’s Man of Steel
and 2016 s Batman vs Superman dawn of
Justice Daily Planet
criticizing those who think two above
the laws what your self critics and fans
alike turned to Suicide Squad as the
third film and cinematic savior of DC’s
extended universe will save the world an
all-star cast including Margot Robbie
Jared Leto and Will Smith and a series
of super slick trailers sent hype levels
to heroic Heights and the movies 175
million dollar budget made mammoth
expectations even bigger tagline justice
has a bad side Suicide Squad looked as
though it was set to reinvent the
superhero genre as Viola Davis says in
almost every promo clip this is a team
of some very bad people they’re bad guys
worst of the worst the movie hands big
screen debut stewing characters but it
was perhaps Jared Leto’s take on the
Joker that most caught moviegoers
attention after Heath Ledger’s legendary
performance in the Dark Knight trilogy
I’m gonna kill you what would I do
without you and Jack Nicholson’s in
1989’s Batman ever dance with the devil
in the pale my could littles crazed
clown possibly match up I’m
can I hurt you really really number four
how did filming of Suicide Squad go
according to reports Suicide Squad
suffered various issues during
development including multiple re-edits
and a highly ambitious production
schedule bound by a strict summer 2016
release date director David Ayer had
just under two years to make the movie
the first major setback came in January
2015 when Tom Hardy pulled out of
playing rick flagg because of shooting
commitments with the revenant hardy was
swiftly replaced with Joel Kinnaman but
the rush to write a script was allegedly
ongoing and airs finished product was
apparently eventually reshaped by
producers after fans ate up the fun tone
of the early trailers the cast was
called back for significant reshoots
with a few sources saying that was done
to add more action
however most believed that the reshoots
were designed to lighten the overall
vibe of the film and that ultimately the
movie was extensively recut to include
more comedic parts I was just trying to
get you there no hard feelings right we
did the rillette it’s caused some
controversy though Jared Leto was
reportedly unhappy about the number of
scenes involving the Joker that were
shelved causing fans to call for a joker
cut release in the future after all he’d
prepared significantly for his role
apparently meeting with both doctors and
Psychopaths for context refusing to be
acknowledged as anyone other than the
Joker on set holiday and even going so
far as to send his co-stars live rats
this is a gift from the Joker it’s a
gift from the Joker dead pigs and
bullets as psychologically torturous
gifts number three how was Suicide Squad
received by critics much like the DC
movies before it the critical response
to Suicide Squad was largely negative
two weeks after its release the film was
rated at 40% on Metacritic and had a
lowly 27 percent approval rating on
Rotten Tomatoes for Wired it quote kinda
sucks the Atlantic describes it as quote
the worst of
the worst the Guardians review leads
with quote too many crooks spoil the
plot and the telegraph labels the movie
quote semi pornographic slog it wasn’t
all bad though Empire magazine tapped
into the lighter mood of Suicide Squad
describing it as quote a real hoot and
drawing particular attention to Margot
Robbie’s character Harley Quinn
suggesting that she almost steals the
show what was that I should kill
everyone in this gate sorry
the voices I’m kidding
is that what they really said members of
the cast have admitted to being bothered
by the negative coverage but they’ve
also underlined that Suicide Squad was a
movie made for the fans during an
interview with Reuters Cara Delevigne
who plays The Enchantress
described the critics as quote
absolutely horrific while Jay Hernandez
also known as el Diablo explained to
Digital Spy how he hopes the movie was
what the fans wanted number two how was
Suicide Squad received by moviegoers the
fans response was much more balanced
with some more disgruntled with the bad
reviews than with the movie itself in
the aftermath of the film’s release an
online petition was set up in an attempt
to close down Rotten Tomatoes where some
of suicide squads harshest reviews are
listed Abdullah Coldwater argued on
change.org that critics and audiences
had become disconnected and that movie
criticism wasn’t always the best gauge
of a movie’s quality over 22,000 people
signed up in support however some fans
tackled the movie makers arguing that
the film’s lack of Joker scenes equated
to false advertising Jared Leto had
previously claimed that there was enough
deleted Joker material to make another
full movie and one Reddit user even
threatened to sue Warner Brothers and DC
Comics over Joker’s lack of screen time
indeed there has been a fan backlash
against Suicide Squad producers brought
on by the changes forced through during
the editing process according to cinema
blend there were at least 20 shots shown
in trailers that
didn’t appear in the final movie beer
whiskey what am i 12 how about you hot
stuff Warner number one will there be a
second Suicide Squad movie as a
character ensemble movie Suicide Squad
looks set to trigger various standalone
films in the future and there is already
significant talk of a direct sequel
which could be r-rated despite negative
criticism Suicide Squad performed
exceptionally well on opening weekend
drying record August figures at the box
office
and while numbers dipped significantly
during the second week the commercial
value is clear there is increasing
speculation that the Joker Harley Quinn
relationship could be central to a
second film or spin-off or that perhaps
the pair will feature as villains to a
DC hero in another movie but however the
story is continued it’s certain to
generate even more hype and publicity
the critics may not have enjoyed their
first outing but it’s difficult to see
this squad disappearing from our screens
without an almighty fight as Harley
Quinn says for bad guys it’s what we do
did these facts get you thinking
yeah Joker’s must be crazy to vote for
