I like how OP's joke about the movie's very obvious song choices was immediately derailed to shit on Billie Eilish for no reason. People really do love hating teen girls on the internet.
I've been hearing people talk about Suicide Squad and I thought, "didn't I watch a half in the bag on that years ago?". turns out that I did! this movie has the same title except with "the" in front?
LMAO You're right on the money!! It was Jim Carrey's Riddler (i.e. hammy performance and the exact. same. haircut) plus some eyeliner, a bunch of tattoos and shiny braces (á la Marilyn Manson in cca. 1998).
Nah, he channeled his head trauma. The damaged tattoo on his forehead? That's actually a note from his doctor in order to keep Leto and others from accidentally smashing through his skull.
I know. That, &her line to Katana (spelling?) "Ooh love your perfume ... what is that - scent of death??" that they used in EVERY trailer.🙄🙄 All those lil quips are so "try-hard" &obvious. W/each one, the movie essentially morphes into that Jeb Bush, "please clap" meme😬
Haven't watched review, but I'm remembering how they all despised each other, then they go in a bar, say nothing remarkable, and suddenly they're best friends forever. Also wondering how scrawny crazy woman helps superhuman killers.
you guys hit it right on the head - why do they keep hiring visionaries if they are just going to change everything they do? thats one of the biggest problems with the industry
Because either 1) cheap to hire, since I wouldn't call Josh Trank a visionary after he was apparently high on set not only for Fant4stic but also on Chronicle too.. or 2) They expect to get the same success as with Christopher Nolan without thinking it through or 3) The director they choose ends up not being as manipulatable or gullible as they initially thought
I think hiring directors like as Ayers is pretty much an advertising ploy to draw in fans of earlier work. Then they change the original cut without realising that defeats the purpose of hiring such a director, or because it was never their intention to give him creative freedom.
They don't want people to know what an actual movie is anymore, so they hire small project visionaries to ruin their careers on these awful high profile garbage movies that the suits will inevitably ruin by overstepping with their creatively bankrupt iron fists. It's all a big conspiracy. Barrack Obama is involved.
Really? No racial stereotypes? 1. Killer Croc, who was constantly wearing a velvet running suit and spoke like he was Biggie, asked for BET. 2. Katana, an Asian warrior, spoke to her (named) sword and was obsessed with honoring her dead husband. 3. El Diablo was a Latino with a hot temper and in a gang. 4. Captain Boomerang is about the most steroypical you can possibly portray an Australian man. 5. KILLER CROC ASKED FOR FUCKING BET
Some of these, I know, are comic book things and they wanted to stay true to those. But don't say that this film doesn't stereotypically portray their characters.
There's no racial stereotypes... Mike talking about a film with characters such as an alcoholic Australian called captain boomerang, a japanese woman with a japanese flag mask called katana, a black crocodile man who asks for BET, a token jive talking black hit man and a latin man with a day of the dead skull tattoo...
I think the best thing about Suicide Squad is that the actors were so convinced they were making a real comic book milestone event movie and cinematic tour de force that they all got misspelled tattoos reading SKWAD to commemorate it. Oops!
Thank you for this. I didn't know that was a thing. I vividly remember slamming my head on the chair infront of me in the theatre when I was watching this movie. I can't imagine walking around forever with a reminder of this shit movie.
I fell asleep while shuffling the half in the bag playlist and when I woke up it was on this video and it was just Mike reading types of knots and I was not surprised at all
Yep, let's just completely gloss over the fact that it destroyed the August OW record. Sure, it may have not so great of legs but a $135 million OW is nothing to scoff at.
Am I the only one who thought the film was really dark? I don't mean the theme of the film was dark but there was no light. You can barely see what's going on.
The Eggplant Mage if your response to any criticism about Donald trump is to immediately respond with a sarcastic “orange man bad” joke, then it is in fact you who is the NPC
The thing that annoys me so much about this movie is that there is a suicide squad movie out there that has a lot of the same characters, that focuses on Deadshot, Harley Quinn and Joker. It's called Batman: Assault on Arkham. The Suicide Squad typically isn't the team to fight Superman level threats but rather do the government's dirty work so that if the plan goes off the rails, they can just kill them with no remorse (hence the name Suicide Squad)
Flarrow Verse It's exactly what I was pretty excited about with this movie when the first trailer hit. I thought "oh wow, it's gonna be like a live action Assault on Arkham!". How very fucking wrong I was. How can DC fail so spectacularly in their live action department yet always nail their animated movies?!
@@MikeSandersonVideos I've often wondered that myself. The DC animated movies are always so much fun, and so entertaining. The live stuff is always messed up. DC must stand for Doesn't Care. lol
exactly, they made an incredibly poor 'live action' version of that great animated movie (they are, story wise, pretty close in ways). Well, I guess it saved on costs. But, for those who saw the animated movie first (as it came out well before the live action) it made the live action movie even worse. DC really shouldn't have gone full 'live action' (and butted heads with Marvels established universe). They should have gone their own route and redefined the animated movie (similar to what Akira did). They had the budget, the resources, the technical knowhow, but nope ..they went live action. Given the wealth of great animated movies DC has done, its a pity they didn't go that route. And taken their animation to the next level.
I realized why I can't take Leto's Joker seriously. To paraphrase Plinkett, there's nothing wrong with his face. The other live-action Jokers had the "clown" look for some kind of tragic reason. Jack Nicholson fell in a vat of chemicals. Heath Ledger was covering his scars. Jared Leto's only facial disfigurement is that "damaged" tattoo on his forehead. He wears white makeup and green hair because... he likes to look ridiculous, I guess?
I just look at it as a 2016 joker, and I think it works that way. He's supposed to be in his early 30's if you go by the standard ages of characters in the average comic. If he's the same age as Leto then he'd be in his early 40's. The type of person who would become a joker character, being in either their 20's or 30's during the 90's/00's would most definitely get a bunch of cringey tattoos. Either before or after they transform into the joker.
This film may have been destroyed with reshoots and jigsaw editing, but you have to admit, it was cool when Spock punched Khan in the face. And the scene at the end where Vader gets out his lightsaber and slaughters the rebel soldiers is badass!
Beatrix Wickson It’s true. Although this movie was poorly directed and written, when Neo first dodged that bullet from the Agent, it was an epic moment for cinema. Oh and that entrance by Captain Jack Sparrow, the legend himself: OG right there...
My favourite part was when Superman stole the DeLorian from Mary Poppins to rescue Harry Potter from Mordor where he was being attacked by the Darleks!
Still doesn't explain why she just has the phone out in public and doesn't even try to hide it yet no one spots her or says anything. Shit is still dumb just not for the reason that RLM thinks it is.
Deadshot sees it on the helicopter ride in and agrees not to say anything. Another big problem with the phone thing, though, is she has no where to conceal it in that outfit.
The Dark Knight has started this problematic overload of superhero/comic book movies. Everybody wanted to make their own Dark Knight, now the same thing will happen for Deadpool for the next 10 years.
Probably because: A. it was set up as a crime thriller first and Batman film second, and B. it was one man's, and his tightly managed team's, coherent vision.
A bunch of people have been saying it's either like his role in The Mask or Ace Ventura, which is what Leto reminded me of when he said the "big hunka hunka" line. So yeah, you're not crazy.
The miscasting is a "MAGICAL kind of dumb." - Nostalgia Critic Jared Leto should've have been the Riddler. Jesse Eisenberg should've been the Joker. Ben Affleck should have stayed far, far away from Zack Snyder, poor guy. 🤦♀️
The last ten minutes will be him listening to the climactic blue lazer in the sky battle on headphones, and then advising us never to listen to that again.
Fun fact: If you weren't fantasizing about Margot Robbie during the entire movie you'll actually notice that the guard that the Joker threatened in the casino gave Harley the phone... Hack frauds
Joker is in the movie because he was in Assault from Arkham (Animated DC). He has as much of an impact in the animated one, he's just a wild card fucking things up for everyone.
you know besides being the only reason the squad doesn't leave the city because he hijacks their fucking heli. Seriously its like you never saw the movie
At the trailers I was like "looks good but Will Smith will ruin everything". Now that I've seen the movie, his character was easily the best and probably the only good thing about this mess.
@@bckroobnzi141 It would have been very cool if Diablo was the main character! Have this whole redemption arc, become the heart of the team that makes them a team and *then* die. That would have some emotional punch to it. I mean the fight scene looked cool, but... 'My family'? As it is, the movie had such a happy ending, I kinda for forgot about his death. Rick Flag's back with his girl, Harley's back with her Puddin', Will Smith's back with his daughter, Croc got his BET... 🤷 I don't know. It would have been cool if it was more bittersweet.
The music was so dense... No for real... there was like back to back to back song changes. The only one that worked was Deadshots scaling a building. Seriously all the others were unnecessary or forced.
In answer to "who is the audience for this", everyone at my office has been excited about, and rushed to see, this film literally just because Margot Robbie wears tiny shorts in it. That is the start and end of their interest in the film.
They should've just made a Harley Quinn film, so that all the Hot Topic tots with HQ ink and the Comic Book land whales would come see it. There's your audience. ;)
Jay clearly never watched Batman The Brave and The Bold if he’s got a problem with Batman punching a lady in the face. The hammer of justice is *unisex*
I really love the part in the bar where the generic army man comes in and says to will smith "your daughter writes you everyday" but there's about ten letters in that pile
Why exactly does that convince Deadshot to help him? "You've been hiding the fact that my daughter has been trying to contact me and have been carrying those letters with you the entire time without so much as a hint that they existed. *I will now help you to save your girlfriend for some reason!!!*"
I can't wait till people figure out that "top critics" are just human beings like them and not divine beings chosen by opinion gods that make all their opinion facts. One day.
There might be an evil threat that Superman can’t handle, let’s call in a crazy girl with a bat, a guy that throws boomerangs, a guy with good aim, an army solder, a crocodile, a lady with a magic sword, and a fire guy that explodes and kills himself to to stop it!
hey, that was Katana. she had his back. i would not advise... something something sword full of souls something something. maybe the threat is something Superman can't handle emotionally.
I said this already but this is like that snl sketch in which Superman is needed to stop a comet but is too busy enjoying his retirement, only for all kinds of lesser characters to show up to say they can’t do shit(including Chris Farley with a boomerang)
+hardrockfreak1337 it was the ace chems which is a nice touch to the comics and Jack Nicholson (it's a quick flash but you can see it) which is likely the result of her more erratic and violent behavior which wasn't really exhibited until post dip
I love your reviews guys, especially of these big studio movies. Most reviews out there are by fanboys going, "This was cool, this sucked, I wana see this in the sequel, I love this character, that looks like the comics.." etc. You guys though, approach the movies from the point of view of filmmakers and business men. You don't just react, you analyze, because you actually know what your talking about unlike other "pricks with red backgrounds" on youtube. So yeh.. really appreciate what you guys do even though your still hack frauds!
yea, they take a professional approach with a comedic style. They analyse the film in the way a film cridic should but they also engage in banter about it like a bunch guys at a bar breaking apart the movie they just saw; no holding back. I love these guys
It's sad that the way RLM differentiates itself from most "movie reviewers" is that they actually conduct analysis. Most YT reviewers say I loved [x part] or they hated [y part]. Then to really pretend like they are reviewers they will state whether or not the characters fit the comic book depiction.
Yeh exactly! The average YT review will talk about the characters and plot on a very superficial level like, "This character didnt do anything... This character wasnt interesting... This story was boring", but never say why!! Or talk about how it couldve been made better or how the movie ended up like that. Again, all reaction no analysis...
+Luis DeVita I never even mentioned him... I'm making a blanket statement about all CZcams celebrities that aren't actually filmmakers, critiquing movies and talking about stuff they don't actually have much knowledge on
Yeh. You said it perfectly, "fanboys of films". They do gush over some movies that are technically bad, but unlike other CZcamsrs they explain exactly why, how, with knowledge of the art form and the business. Opposed to the "this was cool/this was bad" method 95% of reviewers on YT do. Was just saying I love how they talk about movies. I didn't say anything specifically about Suicide Squad. I haven't even seen the movie yet (and probably not going to now).
TheRealAkaRai Sure maybe not great but you have to admit that even the middle of the road WB DC animated movies are better than what we have gotten in any of the live action films
It was as good as a movie based on a video game based on a comic book could possibly be. That is to say, it was mediocre. I thought New Frontier and Flashpoint Paradox were infinitely better.
I feel like this concept could work really well if they weren't stopping some global threat, but instead doing some dirty political stuff. Behind the scenes clashes between government factions in the various secret agencies. Stuff that involves people with super powers or incredible skills, but is too unsightly/embarrassing/shady to call for actual heroes. Use the villains to do the dirty work and throw them under the bus if they get caught.
"Oh the metahumanity." I don't think he realized it when he initially said it, but that one phrase has several different layers of equally accurate meaning.
There were ethnic/racial stereotypes - Diablo was a Chicano gang banger, Smith was in the ghetto, Killer Croc spoke with slang and wanted BET, etc. But I agree it wasn't meant to be offensive or insensitive, they were just sketches of characters
The editing is terrible, the plot lacks cohesion, the villain's ridiculous and the final third is empty CGI noise. These were exactly the same things I didn't like about BvS. WB/DC have learned absolutely *nothing* from their mistakes.
I think that was solely because the movie was finished before BvS came out w/o realizing how much the audience was against it. Hopefully Wonder Woman is good and properly learns from the mistakes that the previous 3 DCEU movies made, too bad it probably won't
Resting on the shoulders of Gal Gadot is the first Wonder Woman movie ever made, the latest effort to make a widely loved DCEU movie and another attempt to make the first decent superheroine lead film. Wonder Woman falling flat would be taking this into a whole other level of awful.
Exploding Astro Didn't say Suicide Squad had no laughs but these flaws are present nonetheless. I did mention a weak villain, which is a characterisation issue not a technical issue. I also mentioned the plot being all over the place, which is pretty fundamental to films.
That caught me off guard at first too, but I think he means the nonchalant way in which the crazed psychopath is put down. It's a pretty common slapstick joke for a man to put down a crazed woman by a single quick show of force, and the way Batman does it made the whole theater laugh. I laughed too, it was funny, the criticism from Mike/Jay there is a little off base, but I see where he's coming from. Harley's a badass mofo, and goes out like a total bitch (to batman, to be fair)
Yeah I actually like that he didn't treat her different because she's a girl. Batman has obviously dealt with Harley before so he didn't have time for her crazy bullshit.
This is the movie where they scanned the script and fed it to an algorithm that searched the playlist "Popular American Hits of the 20th/21st century" and selected the soundtrack.
'What kind of Archaeologist picks up an artefact and breaks it?!' None. Even Indiana Jones tried to save the artefacts, as sensationalized as his movies are... lol. She also shouldn't have been alone and the lack of sit set-up was pretty silly. Right away I was taken out of the film, but that's because Archaeology is sorta what I study.
This movie could have been great if they changed one thing with the plot. Their mission. Have the mission be that they are gathering intelligence on the meta humans. They break into the bat cave, or flash's secret base, or area 51 where martian manhunter is being held, or star labs where cyborg was made. That would have been awesome.
I recall there was an episode of JLU where they did exactly that. Broke into the Watch Tower and stole a bunch of files or something. Great way to put in cameos of the other characters as well without it seeming forced or out of place.
+Steve Rogers I mean that would have been the best plot. as it could have used the tower of Babel comic line as inspiration, one of the best comic lines involving stealing info on the heroes
Instead they had Amanda Waller go through lots of trouble to assemble a team, put them on a helicopter and fly directly to her so she can give them a surprise appearance. Either that or she actually planned to shoot down her own helicopter expecting them all to survive. How can anyone write this crap??
The first Suicide Squad animated movie shows you the best example of how you use the Joker in a Suicide Squad story. It's about the Squad for the first half until the Joker comes in and makes the entire last half about him. Sort of like the original Predator, that starts as an 80s action movie that runs head first into a slasher horror film.
But why , wouldn't the effort to get the rights for mcr to cover it , then set up to record , then produce it , cost more than it takes to get the rights to use the original?? Did they just REALLY want mcr to be tied to this movie
It's Panic at the Disco, not MCR. Honestly their music is probably a lot cheaper to get than either MCR or Queen. PatD is also signed to DCD2 Records, which is part of Warner Music Group, which is of course the same parent company that is behind Suicide Squad.
Harley slashes a knife(You can see and hear it slash) at batman underwater. That's why he punched her out. If you trying to rescue someone underwater the last thing you want is getting stabbed repeatably while bringing them to shore. Even if she didn't have a knife he still should have punched her out because her struggling could drown the both of them.
Wearing a respirator and armor. Drowning and being stabbed not really that big an issue at the time. Also punching her is the only batman like thing he's done over the course of 3 movies,each pushing the 3 hour mark.
I know no one gives a shit. But as someone with lifeguard training. If someone is struggling in the water when you are trying to save them, you HAVE TO knock em out. Lest they drag you down with them.
"There are no racial stereotypes" That's why there's an Australian character called Captain Boomerang, a Japanese character called Katana who, you guessed it, wields a Katana and a Latino character called El Diablo complete with a bunch of tattoos that would scare old suburban women...
Sorry my dudes, but Harley "Now That's A Killer App" Quinn was pretty bad here. She's a comic relief character that fails on every level humorously, and has an accent that goes in and out.
Jay used it. Literally at 16:25, the term "off putting" is used when it comes to Harley Quinn being punched in the face. So what if she's a woman? She was up to no good with the Joker and was preventing Batman from saving her.
How often do you hear 'Women should be in more action films, women should lead action films, women could be just as capable in action scenarios' etc (which I'm fine with - Ripley anyone?) but then when Harley Quinn is punched or Jennifer Lawrence is held around the throat by Ivan Ooze and it's 'How dare you hit her - she's a woman!! That promotes violence against women!!! That's not right!!!' You can't have it both ways. Action films contain violence and peril and surely if all female characters are immune to that then that's A. Positive discrimination and B. Defeats the object of leading characters in action films.
Oh my God..I just realized the joke with all of those knots in the beginning...you guys spent more time on those knots, than the movie did with slipknot LOL!! Brilliant guys
We expected WB to trust DC and stay true to the director's original vision. We fans wanted the dark movie that the first trailer showed us. We didn't want an incoherent mess that comes from WB panicking and misinterpreting the criticism of Batman v Superman.
The reason they don't hire someone like Brett Ratner is because it looks better on a press release when they claim they are hiring fresh new talent. They are also under the impression that doing so will end up earning the good will of the movie-going public. like "Hey look, remember that small scale movie that you all loved.Well, we hired the guy who directed it to take care of one of our properties. Aren't you excited? and this will be such a big boost for his career so this person can make more movies" The problem is that they view this person as nothing more than a patsy that they can shove around to make their version of the movie which causes a lot of friction and very problematic productions. This is why directors such as Edgar Wright left Ant-Man and Cary Fukanaga left Stephen King's It. Lastly , most of the movie going public doesn't give a shit about Brett Ratner.
It’s also probably because they feel like they can bully a new director. This is their make or break outing! Edgar Wright has enough clout and reputation that he can walk away.
REQUEST: Could you guys dedicate a whole video to explaining more specifically what "studio meddling" entails? ...Maybe a video you could do with Matt Landis since I've seen him get salty about it before? I appreciate that it's fairly easy to guess what it entails (for the most part), and when you mention it passively in your videos I know what you're talking about, and how it fucks everything up, but during the STAR WARS: ROTS review from Plinkett, you guys go more in depth with behind the scenes footage showing off studio troubles with Lucas Arts and I've always found that level of insight and criticism really interesting and unique. Thanks in advance, if you ever read this.
You need to watch the videos by Midnights Edge. They explain behind the scenes with studios and how they mess up films like Ghostbusters, Spiderman, Fan4stic, and SS. Seriously go check them out.
@Adrijana Radosevic, do you really think those, for the most part "new" directors, would go up to the studio after they filmed a major budget movie and tell them to just "leave my vision alone"? Sure Peter jackson could have said something but he had pretty much made a deal for 3 movies making him pretty stable money over a few years. You just can't simply point to the exception and exlaim that regular procedure.

4. Captain Boomerang is about the most steroypical you can possibly portray an Australian man.

I think the best thing about Suicide Squad is that the actors were so convinced they were making a real comic book milestone event movie and cinematic tour de force that they all got misspelled tattoos reading SKWAD to commemorate it. Oops!
NekoMouser oh wow you’re right. Yes because this movie really deserved a Lord of the Rings style commemorative tattoo...
Honestly, I really have trouble liking Will Smith... or Margot Robbie... or David Ayer... or Jared Leto after this movie. :/
Thank you for this. I didn't know that was a thing. I vividly remember slamming my head on the chair infront of me in the theatre when I was watching this movie. I can't imagine walking around forever with a reminder of this shit movie.

@@LiesandPolitics What was the criticism other than president bashing?
The thing that annoys me so much about this movie is that there is a suicide squad movie out there that has a lot of the same characters, that focuses on Deadshot, Harley Quinn and Joker. It's called Batman: Assault on Arkham. The Suicide Squad typically isn't the team to fight Superman level threats but rather do the government's dirty work so that if the plan goes off the rails, they can just kill them with no remorse (hence the name Suicide Squad)
Flarrow Verse It's exactly what I was pretty excited about with this movie when the first trailer hit. I thought "oh wow, it's gonna be like a live action Assault on Arkham!". How very fucking wrong I was. How can DC fail so spectacularly in their live action department yet always nail their animated movies?!
@@ThreadBomb you're giving this movie too much credit
@@MikeSandersonVideos I've often wondered that myself. The DC animated movies are always so much fun, and so entertaining. The live stuff is always messed up. DC must stand for Doesn't Care. lol
Flarrow Verse Stop. Just stop making complete, unmitigated sense.
exactly, they made an incredibly poor 'live action' version of that great animated movie (they are, story wise, pretty close in ways). Well, I guess it saved on costs.
But, for those who saw the animated movie first (as it came out well before the live action) it made the live action movie even worse. DC really shouldn't have gone full 'live action' (and butted heads with Marvels established universe).
They should have gone their own route and redefined the animated movie (similar to what Akira did). They had the budget, the resources, the technical knowhow, but nope ..they went live action. Given the wealth of great animated movies DC has done, its a pity they didn't go that route. And taken their animation to the next level.
I realized why I can't take Leto's Joker seriously.
To paraphrase Plinkett, there's nothing wrong with his face. The other live-action Jokers had the "clown" look for some kind of tragic reason. Jack Nicholson fell in a vat of chemicals. Heath Ledger was covering his scars. Jared Leto's only facial disfigurement is that "damaged" tattoo on his forehead. He wears white makeup and green hair because... he likes to look ridiculous, I guess?
Leto's Joker fell into the vat of chemicals too
Did he? I couldn't keep track of what was going on half the time with this movie.
+TJ Hastie it's not white makeup, he's just like that
His face looks too young and babyfaced for Joker in my opinion.
I just look at it as a 2016 joker, and I think it works that way. He's supposed to be in his early 30's if you go by the standard ages of characters in the average comic. If he's the same age as Leto then he'd be in his early 40's. The type of person who would become a joker character, being in either their 20's or 30's during the 90's/00's would most definitely get a bunch of cringey tattoos. Either before or after they transform into the joker.
You guys totally forgot to mention a Sheepshank knot; definitely one to learn
Or even the Kamikaze knot.
I think it would've been even funnier if they said "and then a slipknot, so I could hang myself." The perfect joke 360 turnaround.
112345brian Here comes Slipknot, the man who can climb anything
Sheepshank isn't really that great. It has a tendency to fail under load and it is better to use something like an alpine butterfly instead.
My favorites are the double fisherman, butterfly, Munter, and of course the re-routed figure 8.
This film may have been destroyed with reshoots and jigsaw editing, but you have to admit, it was cool when Spock punched Khan in the face. And the scene at the end where Vader gets out his lightsaber and slaughters the rebel soldiers is badass!
But where are the AT-ST's?
@@tadpolegaming4510 They were running beside the Velociraptors. I clapped. lol

It’s true. Although this movie was poorly directed and written, when Neo first dodged that bullet from the Agent, it was an epic moment for cinema. Oh and that entrance by Captain Jack Sparrow, the legend himself:
OG right there...
My favourite part was when Superman stole the DeLorian from Mary Poppins to rescue Harry Potter from Mordor where he was being attacked by the Darleks!
I'm starting to think we were really lucky to get the Mad Max: Fury Road George Miller wanted us to have.
That scene with the shitty guard with the Joker, he gives him the phone to give to HQ.
How did they miss that?
Probably because they're HACK FRAUDS!
Still doesn't explain why she just has the phone out in public and doesn't even try to hide it yet no one spots her or says anything. Shit is still dumb just not for the reason that RLM thinks it is.
Deadshot sees it on the helicopter ride in and agrees not to say anything. Another big problem with the phone thing, though, is she has no where to conceal it in that outfit.
Except like many women who put it inside their bras.
I called it, The dark knight is the peak of all DC movies ever.
Superhero movies* ever.
"I called it" yeah, so did a lot of other people. Not really a risky bet.
The Dark Knight has started this problematic overload of superhero/comic book movies. Everybody wanted to make their own Dark Knight, now the same thing will happen for Deadpool for the next 10 years.
Probably because: A. it was set up as a crime thriller first and Batman film second, and B. it was one man's, and his tightly managed team's, coherent vision.
+Daniel “ThanksObama” W. Nope, without heath ledger you got bat gargles and a boring two face sub plot. I've always thought TDK was overrated.
Remember when David Ayer stood up in front of a premiere audience and shouted "fuck Marvel" as if he had just reinvented the superhero genre?
i thought Jared Leto sounded like Ace Ventura Pet Detective.
Fucking finally! I’ve been saying this for a year and a half and people just shrug it off! *Finally* someone agrees with me!
A bunch of people have been saying it's either like his role in The Mask or Ace Ventura, which is what Leto reminded me of when he said the "big hunka hunka" line. So yeah, you're not crazy.
O righty then

And whats the deal with talentless (not Mike) talking about being triggered with Batman hitting someone in the face that was trying to stab him?
Yep. They missed that. (Can't really, really.. Blame them tho)
+CJ Phoenix but joker. Cause movie, I mean money.
Joker is in the movie because he was in Assault from Arkham (Animated DC).
He has as much of an impact in the animated one, he's just a wild card fucking things up for everyone.
you know besides being the only reason the squad doesn't leave the city because he hijacks their fucking heli. Seriously its like you never saw the movie
At the trailers I was like "looks good but Will Smith will ruin everything". Now that I've seen the movie, his character was easily the best and probably the only good thing about this mess.
I disagree, I guess I don’t think he’s bad but he literally plays will smith, his same old self. I honestly think Diablo was a much better character
@@bckroobnzi141 It would have been very cool if Diablo was the main character! Have this whole redemption arc, become the heart of the team that makes them a team and *then* die. That would have some emotional punch to it. I mean the fight scene looked cool, but... 'My family'? As it is, the movie had such a happy ending, I kinda for forgot about his death. Rick Flag's back with his girl, Harley's back with her Puddin', Will Smith's back with his daughter, Croc got his BET... 🤷 I don't know. It would have been cool if it was more bittersweet.
Is that the same bottle of Dan Aykroyd's Vodka, or do you guys just keep buying more lol.
I mean it's decent vodka

Suicide Squad is the key to all of this.
Because it's a funnier film than the other DCEU movies before.
If we can get it working...
It's gonna be great
They've already started making sets. I'm gonna have to start writing the script soon.
The music was so dense...
No for real... there was like back to back to back song changes. The only one that worked was Deadshots scaling a building. Seriously all the others were unnecessary or forced.
Y'know, we'll never gonna beat Guardians of the Galaxy, nobody can.
In answer to "who is the audience for this", everyone at my office has been excited about, and rushed to see, this film literally just because Margot Robbie wears tiny shorts in it. That is the start and end of their interest in the film.
They should've just made a Harley Quinn film, so that all the Hot Topic tots with HQ ink and the Comic Book land whales would come see it. There's your audience. ;)
Harley had one good costume, only one.
I still come back to these old videos so I can feel like I have friends for half an hour.

Three films in the DCU so far and each one has been worse than the last. Will Justice League end up being the ultimate in cinematic garbage?
Probably
I have hope for Wonder Woman.
Justice League is gonna be the superhero movie equivalent of the Bad News Bears. And it'll be wonderfully shitty.
After watching Suicide Squad, i went back to watch Man of Steel. It's a better movie than Suicide Squad, and that says something.
Its gonna be trash but people will enjoy it anyway because their standards have been dropped so low that they will take what they can get.
I really love the part in the bar where the generic army man comes in and says to will smith "your daughter writes you everyday" but there's about ten letters in that pile
Why exactly does that convince Deadshot to help him?
"You've been hiding the fact that my daughter has been trying to contact me and have been carrying those letters with you the entire time without so much as a hint that they existed.
*I will now help you to save your girlfriend for some reason!!!*"
Why the fuck would he ever bring letters on a military operation in the first place
The Justice League Unlimited episode "Task Force X" was a better Suicide Squad than Suicide Squad
America Washington Probably one of my favorite episodes. They nailed Deadshot, Boomer, and Flag.

Assault on Arkham is a better Suicide Squad movie than Suicide Squad. And that's an animated fucking movie.

I can't wait till people figure out that "top critics" are just human beings like them and not divine beings chosen by opinion gods that make all their opinion facts. One day.
***** Well yeah. Film critics are there to critique a film, not validate their emotional investments. So that's kind of what winds up happening.
and stupid contrarians will hide behind "the critics aren't always right" because they can't admit that a movie they like is at least kinda shitty
To be fair, Alan Moore picked the obvious songs for Watchmen. They were all incorporated into the graphic novel in text form.

The new suicide squad film directed by James Gunn just flashed a trailer as im watching this lmao.
There might be an evil threat that Superman can’t handle, let’s call in a crazy girl with a bat, a guy that throws boomerangs, a guy with good aim, an army solder, a crocodile, a lady with a magic sword, and a fire guy that explodes and kills himself to to stop it!
hey, that was Katana. she had his back. i would not advise... something something sword full of souls something something.
maybe the threat is something Superman can't handle emotionally.
I said this already but this is like that snl sketch in which Superman is needed to stop a comet but is too busy enjoying his retirement, only for all kinds of lesser characters to show up to say they can’t do shit(including Chris Farley with a boomerang)
The head prison guard gave Harley the cell phone at the Joker's behest.
The Horse Semen turned her skin white. That's all.

I love your reviews guys, especially of these big studio movies. Most reviews out there are by fanboys going, "This was cool, this sucked, I wana see this in the sequel, I love this character, that looks like the comics.." etc. You guys though, approach the movies from the point of view of filmmakers and business men. You don't just react, you analyze, because you actually know what your talking about unlike other "pricks with red backgrounds" on youtube. So yeh.. really appreciate what you guys do even though your still hack frauds!
yea, they take a professional approach with a comedic style. They analyse the film in the way a film cridic should but they also engage in banter about it like a bunch guys at a bar breaking apart the movie they just saw; no holding back. I love these guys
It's sad that the way RLM differentiates itself from most "movie reviewers" is that they actually conduct analysis. Most YT reviewers say I loved [x part] or they hated [y part]. Then to really pretend like they are reviewers they will state whether or not the characters fit the comic book depiction.
Yeh exactly! The average YT review will talk about the characters and plot on a very superficial level like, "This character didnt do anything... This character wasnt interesting... This story was boring", but never say why!! Or talk about how it couldve been made better or how the movie ended up like that. Again, all reaction no analysis...
+Luis DeVita I never even mentioned him... I'm making a blanket statement about all CZcams celebrities that aren't actually filmmakers, critiquing movies and talking about stuff they don't actually have much knowledge on
Yeh. You said it perfectly, "fanboys of films". They do gush over some movies that are technically bad, but unlike other CZcamsrs they explain exactly why, how, with knowledge of the art form and the business. Opposed to the "this was cool/this was bad" method 95% of reviewers on YT do. Was just saying I love how they talk about movies. I didn't say anything specifically about Suicide Squad. I haven't even seen the movie yet (and probably not going to now).
Check out Assault on Arkham if you want a good suicide squad movie.
This guy knows what he is talking about
TheRealAkaRai Sure maybe not great but you have to admit that even the middle of the road WB DC animated movies are better than what we have gotten in any of the live action films
I was having a blast with that movie until the Black Spider angle popped up and my entertainment level plummeted.
It was as good as a movie based on a video game based on a comic book could possibly be. That is to say, it was mediocre. I thought New Frontier and Flashpoint Paradox were infinitely better.
Assault on Arkham is bar none the worst animation DC has put out aside from TTG and all the Damian Wayne shit
I feel like this concept could work really well if they weren't stopping some global threat, but instead doing some dirty political stuff. Behind the scenes clashes between government factions in the various secret agencies. Stuff that involves people with super powers or incredible skills, but is too unsightly/embarrassing/shady to call for actual heroes. Use the villains to do the dirty work and throw them under the bus if they get caught.
calling from the future to let you know that james gunn stole your idea
From what I have read in these comments, that is exactly what the Suicide Squad is in the comic books.
"Oh the metahumanity." I don't think he realized it when he initially said it, but that one phrase has several different layers of equally accurate meaning.

I know what that means, so I clAAAAAAApped!
There were ethnic/racial stereotypes - Diablo was a Chicano gang banger, Smith was in the ghetto, Killer Croc spoke with slang and wanted BET, etc.
But I agree it wasn't meant to be offensive or insensitive, they were just sketches of characters
The editing is terrible, the plot lacks cohesion, the villain's ridiculous and the final third is empty CGI noise. These were exactly the same things I didn't like about BvS. WB/DC have learned absolutely *nothing* from their mistakes.
I think that was solely because the movie was finished before BvS came out w/o realizing how much the audience was against it. Hopefully Wonder Woman is good and properly learns from the mistakes that the previous 3 DCEU movies made, too bad it probably won't
Resting on the shoulders of Gal Gadot is the first Wonder Woman movie ever made, the latest effort to make a widely loved DCEU movie and another attempt to make the first decent superheroine lead film.
Wonder Woman falling flat would be taking this into a whole other level of awful.
Fuck superhero movies. They've had their run imo
At least they have humor all youre saying is technic (editing,cgi,etc)
Exploding Astro Didn't say Suicide Squad had no laughs but these flaws are present nonetheless.
I did mention a weak villain, which is a characterisation issue not a technical issue. I also mentioned the plot being all over the place, which is pretty fundamental to films.
What's wrong with punching a woman in the face? Especially if she's a crazed serial killer.
That caught me off guard at first too, but I think he means the nonchalant way in which the crazed psychopath is put down. It's a pretty common slapstick joke for a man to put down a crazed woman by a single quick show of force, and the way Batman does it made the whole theater laugh. I laughed too, it was funny, the criticism from Mike/Jay there is a little off base, but I see where he's coming from. Harley's a badass mofo, and goes out like a total bitch (to batman, to be fair)
+runujhkj People are getting killed left, right, and centre, but a woman being punched has him doing a double take? That was my sentiment.
Yeah I actually like that he didn't treat her different because she's a girl. Batman has obviously dealt with Harley before so he didn't have time for her crazy bullshit.
IK what you mean. But it probably doesn't help that Margot Robbie is dressed up like a sexualized little girl and seems pretty weak.
Because she would slip that shit and counter with the one-two.
This is the movie where they scanned the script and fed it to an algorithm that searched the playlist "Popular American Hits of the 20th/21st century" and selected the soundtrack.
'What kind of Archaeologist picks up an artefact and breaks it?!'
None. Even Indiana Jones tried to save the artefacts, as sensationalized as his movies are... lol. She also shouldn't have been alone and the lack of sit set-up was pretty silly. Right away I was taken out of the film, but that's because Archaeology is sorta what I study.
This movie could have been great if they changed one thing with the plot. Their mission.
Have the mission be that they are gathering intelligence on the meta humans. They break into the bat cave, or flash's secret base, or area 51 where martian manhunter is being held, or star labs where cyborg was made. That would have been awesome.
I recall there was an episode of JLU where they did exactly that. Broke into the Watch Tower and stole a bunch of files or something. Great way to put in cameos of the other characters as well without it seeming forced or out of place.
+Steve Rogers I mean that would have been the best plot. as it could have used the tower of Babel comic line as inspiration, one of the best comic lines involving stealing info on the heroes
Instead they had Amanda Waller go through lots of trouble to assemble a team, put them on a helicopter and fly directly to her so she can give them a surprise appearance.
Either that or she actually planned to shoot down her own helicopter expecting them all to survive.

The first Suicide Squad animated movie shows you the best example of how you use the Joker in a Suicide Squad story. It's about the Squad for the first half until the Joker comes in and makes the entire last half about him. Sort of like the original Predator, that starts as an 80s action movie that runs head first into a slasher horror film.

It's Panic at the Disco, not MCR. Honestly their music is probably a lot cheaper to get than either MCR or Queen. PatD is also signed to DCD2 Records, which is part of Warner Music Group, which is of course the same parent company that is behind Suicide Squad.

Harley slashes a knife(You can see and hear it slash) at batman underwater. That's why he punched her out. If you trying to rescue someone underwater the last thing you want is getting stabbed repeatably while bringing them to shore. Even if she didn't have a knife he still should have punched her out because her struggling could drown the both of them.
I wouldn't say being stabbed is the *last* thing I'd want to happen, but I guess it's sort of far down the list.
D Rivers how is it domestic violence? They aren’t dating. If anything it would be police brutality. Or vigilantly violence.
People who don't think violent women should be hit are brainwashed fuckwits.
Wearing a respirator and armor. Drowning and being stabbed not really that big an issue at the time. Also punching her is the only batman like thing he's done over the course of 3 movies,each pushing the 3 hour mark.
I know no one gives a shit. But as someone with lifeguard training. If someone is struggling in the water when you are trying to save them, you HAVE TO knock em out. Lest they drag you down with them.

Batman punching Harley in the face was off putting? Seriously? Oh please lol
Jay used it. Literally at 16:25, the term "off putting" is used when it comes to Harley Quinn being punched in the face. So what if she's a woman? She was up to no good with the Joker and was preventing Batman from saving her.
I actually agreed with them. I saw the movie twice with a theater laughing loudly at batman punching a woman in the face and ive been like Ok..
How often do you hear 'Women should be in more action films, women should lead action films, women could be just as capable in action scenarios' etc (which I'm fine with - Ripley anyone?) but then when Harley Quinn is punched or Jennifer Lawrence is held around the throat by Ivan Ooze and it's 'How dare you hit her - she's a woman!! That promotes violence against women!!! That's not right!!!' You can't have it both ways. Action films contain violence and peril and surely if all female characters are immune to that then that's A. Positive discrimination and B. Defeats the object of leading characters in action films.

twmcgraw303 Truer words have never been spoken. You nailed it completely on the head and that's exactly how I feel.
You guys should make a movie called "Studio Meddling", and "Studio Meddling 2, The Confusing Sequel!"
The reason they don't hire someone like Brett Ratner is because it looks better on a press release when they claim they are hiring fresh new talent.
They are also under the impression that doing so will end up earning the good will of the movie-going public. like "Hey look, remember that small scale movie that you all loved.Well, we hired the guy who directed it to take care of one of our properties. Aren't you excited? and this will be such a big boost for his career so this person can make more movies"
The problem is that they view this person as nothing more than a patsy that they can shove around to make their version of the movie which causes a lot of friction and very problematic productions.
This is why directors such as Edgar Wright left Ant-Man and Cary Fukanaga left Stephen King's It.
Lastly , most of the movie going public doesn't give a shit about Brett Ratner.
It’s also probably because they feel like they can bully a new director. This is their make or break outing! Edgar Wright has enough clout and reputation that he can walk away.
REQUEST: Could you guys dedicate a whole video to explaining more specifically what "studio meddling" entails? ...Maybe a video you could do with Matt Landis since I've seen him get salty about it before?
I appreciate that it's fairly easy to guess what it entails (for the most part), and when you mention it passively in your videos I know what you're talking about, and how it fucks everything up, but during the STAR WARS: ROTS review from Plinkett, you guys go more in depth with behind the scenes footage showing off studio troubles with Lucas Arts and I've always found that level of insight and criticism really interesting and unique. Thanks in advance, if you ever read this.
Uh, clearly not, otherwise I wouldn't have requested the video. But that's cool bro, just speak on behalf of.. everyone.
You need to watch the videos by Midnights Edge. They explain behind the scenes with studios and how they mess up films like Ghostbusters, Spiderman, Fan4stic, and SS. Seriously go check them out.
creekandseminole Thanks very much, this is exactly the type of comment I was hoping someone would post. Have a great day.
@Adrijana Radosevic, do you really think those, for the most part "new" directors, would go up to the studio after they filmed a major budget movie and tell them to just "leave my vision alone"? Sure Peter jackson could have said something but he had pretty much made a deal for 3 movies making him pretty stable money over a few years. You just can't simply point to the exception and exlaim that regular procedure.
MATT Landis?
The guard is the one who slips her the cell phone, when they take her out of jail
I love the fact that you guys have "The Day the Clown Cried" on your desk
