When they mentioned that random lady might take over from Amanda Waller after knocking her out with a golf club, I noticed how weird it seemed that she used a golf club as a weapon. Then I realised that they set up the existence of the golf club in a minor joke from an earlier scene, and man James Gunn, you didn't have pay THAT much attention to detail, but I'm glad you did
I love how they landed on Deadshot being Deathstroke’s name and then rambled about a fake superhero named The Monocle, when Deadshot was the main protagonist of the first Suicide Squad and wore a monocle in his very first comic book appearance. They were just so close.
It’s even funnier when you know that DC does have a character named The Monocle, just that he’s a Hawkman villain and his monocle usually only shot lasers.
I thought it was a very refreshing film, a perfect palette cleanser after years of traditional superhero films. Polka Dot man stood out for me, the actor portrayed him perfectly, down to facial expressions. At this point I'd rather watch another five of these films than even one superman film.

@@claresutton2819 James Gunn already apologized for all the shit people were upset about a long time ago, before anyone asked. What is there to “cancel” him over?
Remember the movie "Mystery Men" from 1999 (featuring superheroes from Flaming Carrot comics)? It was a very funny movie about "misfit" heroes, the Shoveler, the Bowler. It featured Ben Stiller Janeane Garofalo, Paul Rubens, etc. It was definitely a precursor to this Suicide Squad movie.
The interesting thing about Doom Patrol is that, while not a perfect reflection of the comics, the comics themselves are pretty weird and does a bunch of character stuff that works really well
I think this film owes a nod to Mystery Men with the whole B Grade (or even none at all) superpowers thing. That film also had an audition scene for new heroes to join just like the one in Deadpool 2. Mystery Men is worth a re-view.
A lot of people hold Taskmaster in high regard. Largely because he's an actually practical supervillain, but also because of how his power also kind of pushes out memories to make room for the moves, which results in interesting character study. Yes, it's comic books.
@Doom3Guy its a good example of different interests seeming meaningless to someone else. im sure plenty of people talk about startrek the same way mike talks about comic book fans
@Doom3Guy yeah they did taskmaster dirty in blackwidow it kind of bummed me out. ironically enough dudes like Bloodsport or Deathstroke are way closer to Taskmaster than what they ended up with
Actually, Tom Holland was first Spiderman in 2016, in Captain America: Civil war. That shit was teased like a year out, the highlight of the trailer, imo. So yeah, Tom Holland was being filmed as spiderman/shown to us, within/about a year after the release of The Amazing Spiderman 2.
Had no interest in seeing The Suicide Squad 2021 until seeing this review. It was actually a lot of fun and honestly I think James Gunn found the right mix of light and dark for the DCU.
I'd love to imagine this being the 1st half in the bag someone's ever seen, watching several minutes of lampooing the pandemic chaos, multiple suicide attempts, and a fight scene with celebrity guest Rich Evans, wondering if it's actually going to be a review of The Suicide Squad, or a review of Spacejam A New Legacy
It was Deathstroke in the post credits scene of "Justice League." Deadpool was created as a Marvel satire of Deathstroke. Deadshot was Will Smith's character in the first "Suicide Squad."
Watched 'The Suicide Squad' and had a great time. Full disclosure I like James Gunn's work and like the bloody action combined with dark humor. If you like that you'll have a great time. Outside that the plot stuck together (you can nit pick some mistakes), the bad guys turned heroes works very well. I love Blood Sport arguing with his daughter that he never claims to care about, but you know he cares by his actions. I love at the end how the remaining team members are ready to leave and you just hear the screams of the townspeople in the background which tugs at their humanity. Too good. Also I like how they killed Rick Flag showing him to be the all around good guy hero while showing how Peacemaker is a true villain despite all of his hero talk. Too good. Not the greatest movie ever, but damn good fun!
There's actually an independent comic series called "Project Superpowers" that exclusively uses superheroes who lapsed into the public domain. That's gotta be damn-near close to the most "niche" thing in the world.
And if you don't realize you're in a loop, you'll continually go through it over and over until either a 4th dimensional vaccine is given to you or the virus gets tired
Mike, I find it admirable that you made your own business doing something you love. Not many people can say that. Thank you for all of the entertainment and joy you bring to me and many others.
@@CapnSnackbeardI sent him an idea for a CZcams channel back in 2004 for reviewing and shitting on movies and TV. He snatched my green notebook with all my ideas and ran off into the night.
Regarding the opening slaughter and nerds potentially being angry about it, every single one of those characters is real and, as someone who spent the entire lead-up to this movie super excited for TDK because I've wanted to see that character in anything for years, I was howling with laughter watching the entire distraction squad die instantly.
It was obvious they weren't gonna kill off Harley Quinn so early on, but I was pretty shocked they just murdered Captain Boomerang, whom the viewers had potentially just spent a whole movie with xD That whole massacre felt like a slight at the movie before, aswell as being a funny twist.
Those camera movements Jay describes when they discuss the Harley escape sequence - I got Tarantino vibes from those moments. Kill Bill and Django Unchained sprung to mind especially, which of course are pastiches on older style martial arts/western films. I loved that stuff in this movie
Its to attain that comic feels. You know that comics used panels right. And there is no inbetween between panels. Its just one moment you saw the superhero preparing to punch a guy from the pov of the guy about to get punched and the next panel you saw the guy getting punched from the side and you saw his teeth flying. Yeah its to achieve that sensation. Comic panels.
@@mtsbrz I mean, it might as well be a movie, so it would make sense. Does it still have the longest cutscene in a game, or did something have a longer one?
@@olathianwhiskey416 the ps3 had plenty of good games. the problem is, MGS4 is the only great game that can’t be played on another console. all the rest have had ports/remakes/remasters/etc.
I was so happy when Starro was revealed, I never thought a DC film would do it because it’s so out there, so when I saw hints of it in the trailer I was pretty hyped to see the film. This is how you do a suicide squad film, it did what it needed to do.
18:00 its not that the gender swap was an issue, its that they pulled a Wolverine Origins Deadpool on Taskmaster. A funny, intelligent character that is hyper competent and has actually thrown down his weapons and said "I'm not paid enough for this, the bad guy is up on the 12th floor. The elevator is rigged with explosives so use the stairs I guess... Bye" and walked off because the full Avengers stroll into a build looking for a fight. Guy made his living by TRAINING mooks and henchmen of other villains on how to fight the heroes they bumped into the most. Then they figuratively sowed his mouth shut just like with Deadpool.
Jay saying "who cares about that character and WHY?" is such a perfect example of how they ruined Taskmaster. If they had actually done him right you would know why people care about him.
@@keeleon Come on, its not like we are talking about freaking moriarty or something that is not being adapted very well. Trust me guys, Taskmaster doesnt freaking matter even if he is "adapted well"
@@star88wars Sounds like some one who doesn't know fuck all about Taskmaster. His personality is a professional with a line, he isn't a super serious person despite being a experienced killer that can, if he wants to, fight the most dangerous heros in his world and come out on top when it comes to life or death, and he actually does respect the heros he fights and knows when not to pick a fight. He is a more interesting villain then 90% of the villains used in Marvel movies and has had great story lines, despite being a villain he could easily be the main character of his own film. Hell, if Disney didn't decide to waste him like they do all of their villains, I could easily see him not just appearing in the Dead Pool movies, but as a main character since he is a pretty big foil to Dead Pool in comics when they face each other since he's the only person he can't copy the movements of. Lastly this is a comment on a review about Sucide Squad, a movie that took characters that ACTUALLY didn't matter in their comics and adapted them into great likeable characters.
@@rikowolfin4984 Yeah I dont know anything about that dude, his design is so generic that i never actually investigated how fanfuckingtastic he is in the comics. So yeah i dont care who he is. But at the end you agree with me. Black widow is generic bad movie but their version of taskmaster works with the themes they tried to do. Same thing with the suicide squad. They didnt adapted them straight from the comics, they changed everything about them to fit it in with the tone and the themes of the movies. Same thing with taskmaster. You all make it sound like we missed the second coming of christ. It really doesnt matter who this characters are, it matter what you do with them.

The Ayer film is already so close to his previous films. Bad dialogue, cop worship, lots of action not much on the surface. Fury was alright but just alright. The theatrical cut of Suicide Squad was Ayer approved at the time he’s just jumping on the Snyder cult wagon. Gunn’s film is the best DC but the dorks ignored it
I noticed a difference! At 28:37 Jay talks about splash-pages in comic-books, and the old version of this video had King Shark ripping somebody apart in there
I'm not re-watching the entire 45 minutes, I kinda assumed they had to remove the short cuts of music from the original Suicide Squad movie. Is that stuff still in?
Please let Mike talk about Doom Patrol someday. Really great, really weird show that doesn’t shy away from letting it’s characters deal with real trauma
I was on the fence on whether or not to watch this movie for a while, but a couple critic reviews I've seen convinced me to give it a chance. I went into it almost wanting to hate it, but it really quickly became the most fun I've had watching a movie in a long time, especially in the theater. If you're on the fence like I was, give it a go. It's worth it.
I liked it too. At 1st wasn't sure but went to cousins who had HBO. It's a way better movie than the 1st one. It's actually a competent funny movie imo
@@one_with_kevrything9825 “uninspired?” This is literally the most inspired DC movie that’s been made these last two decades, arguably even ever. The hell’re you on about?
Oh snap reupload. But to echo my comment in the previous: I would love a Re:View of Doom Patrol! Has been mentioned a few different times now and I think it is worthy of the attention. Plus that show could use all the eyeballs possible, and would love to hear a long form discussion from Mike about it.
I've noticed that they tend to refrain from reviewing movies, but especially TV shows, that tackle mental illness and psychological traumas. Maybe they recognize they don't have the necessary knowledge of clinical psychology to comment on them and they don't want to make fun of mental illness, or maybe it's triggering personal traumas of their own. P.S. To be clear, I know they have reviewed Joker and Split and many other blockbuster films that have mental illness as a theme.

Remember the movie "Mystery Men" from 1999 (featuring superheroes from Flaming Carrot comics)? It was a very funny movie about "misfit" heroes, the Shoveler, the Bowler. It featured Ben Stiller Janeane Garofalo, Paul Rubens, etc. It was definitely a precursor to this Suicide Squad movie.
I loved that movie.
I can't wait to watch the Evans Cut of this review!
The Plinkett Cut
Wat hpn?
….I’m confused and scared.
what are you doing here... Nerdy little bookworm!!
That's my fetish ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Seems like they censored Pete Davidson's face getting blown off.
Do they have Suicide Squad Funko Pops yet?
@@SkylarxLily Are you being ironic? I am genuinely asking.
First half in the bag I ever paused pre spoilers, went to go watch at then resumed this review. Glad I did!
Lmao I did this too
haha yeah i did this too, went to the cinema for the first time since the last skywalker
I didn't unfortunately... ffffffuck wish I had.
The interesting thing about Doom Patrol is that, while not a perfect reflection of the comics, the comics themselves are pretty weird and does a bunch of character stuff that works really well
Funny, i just started to rewatch the first season and i thought it really looks like old cheap comic books.
Cheap but brilliantly weird !
Is this *The* Half in the Bag? The shortest time between reboots ever!
Adum pfp 😳

I love how Mike has made a career out of abusing benevolent god, Rich Evans
I hit like on this yesterday, and I did it again today.
"I just want to watch Night Court"
That got me
I think this film owes a nod to Mystery Men with the whole B Grade (or even none at all) superpowers thing. That film also had an audition scene for new heroes to join just like the one in Deadpool 2. Mystery Men is worth a re-view.
soft reboot of rlm? im down
release the berd cut
ayo berd, you a fan of rlm?
neat

A lot of people hold Taskmaster in high regard. Largely because he's an actually practical supervillain, but also because of how his power also kind of pushes out memories to make room for the moves, which results in interesting character study. Yes, it's comic books.
@Doom3Guy I really hope they address this in the sequels
@Doom3Guy but to be fair, it is better for movies to be different than the comics but you’re right, it should be for the better
@Doom3Guy its a good example of different interests seeming meaningless to someone else. im sure plenty of people talk about startrek the same way mike talks about comic book fans
@Doom3Guy yeah they did taskmaster dirty in blackwidow it kind of bummed me out.
ironically enough dudes like Bloodsport or Deathstroke are way closer to Taskmaster than what they ended up with
Also you can have some really cool fight scenes but we hardly got any in black widow
Actually, Tom Holland was first Spiderman in 2016, in Captain America: Civil war. That shit was teased like a year out, the highlight of the trailer, imo. So yeah, Tom Holland was being filmed as spiderman/shown to us, within/about a year after the release of The Amazing Spiderman 2.
That's not a reboot, pay attention.
Had no interest in seeing The Suicide Squad 2021 until seeing this review. It was actually a lot of fun and honestly I think James Gunn found the right mix of light and dark for the DCU.
I had no interest until i saw the poster. Looked so retro
I'd love to imagine this being the 1st half in the bag someone's ever seen, watching several minutes of lampooing the pandemic chaos, multiple suicide attempts, and a fight scene with celebrity guest Rich Evans, wondering if it's actually going to be a review of The Suicide Squad, or a review of Spacejam A New Legacy
You're missing the 'n' in "lampooning".
@@Phaota Nah, I think lampooing is accurate.
@@blahblahghost It's not, but if you like it, that's fine.
@@Phaota woosh
@@blahblahghost Yeah, it's a wosh when the joke isn't evident.
It was Deathstroke in the post credits scene of "Justice League." Deadpool was created as a Marvel satire of Deathstroke. Deadshot was Will Smith's character in the first "Suicide Squad."
Watched 'The Suicide Squad' and had a great time. Full disclosure I like James Gunn's work and like the bloody action combined with dark humor. If you like that you'll have a great time.
Outside that the plot stuck together (you can nit pick some mistakes), the bad guys turned heroes works very well. I love Blood Sport arguing with his daughter that he never claims to care about, but you know he cares by his actions. I love at the end how the remaining team members are ready to leave and you just hear the screams of the townspeople in the background which tugs at their humanity. Too good.
Also I like how they killed Rick Flag showing him to be the all around good guy hero while showing how Peacemaker is a true villain despite all of his hero talk.
Too good. Not the greatest movie ever, but damn good fun!
James Gunn managed to make me feel bad for a space starfish
There's actually an independent comic series called "Project Superpowers" that exclusively uses superheroes who lapsed into the public domain. That's gotta be damn-near close to the most "niche" thing in the world.
Alex Ross made project superpowers fucking awesome though

He's a hack fraud
@@bee-bee8768 why, did you send him your VCR? Lol
@@CapnSnackbeardI sent him an idea for a CZcams channel back in 2004 for reviewing and shitting on movies and TV. He snatched my green notebook with all my ideas and ran off into the night.
@@bee-bee8768what exactly does a “hack fraud” mean? Is it a fraud who hacks? Or a hack who frauds?
This is your best intro yet! Amazing social commentary and I still show this to people a year later just for that! Great job!
Regarding the opening slaughter and nerds potentially being angry about it, every single one of those characters is real and, as someone who spent the entire lead-up to this movie super excited for TDK because I've wanted to see that character in anything for years, I was howling with laughter watching the entire distraction squad die instantly.
It was obvious they weren't gonna kill off Harley Quinn so early on, but I was pretty shocked they just murdered Captain Boomerang, whom the viewers had potentially just spent a whole movie with xD
That whole massacre felt like a slight at the movie before, aswell as being a funny twist.
They rebooted this episode faster than the Suicide Squad
*Slide Whistle*
Mike turns to camera. Jay looks about, confused.
🤣
How embarrassing.
@@HappyCynic It's the most embarrassing thing to happen since my SON
Those camera movements Jay describes when they discuss the Harley escape sequence - I got Tarantino vibes from those moments. Kill Bill and Django Unchained sprung to mind especially, which of course are pastiches on older style martial arts/western films. I loved that stuff in this movie
That’s it - sort of Tarantino plus Wes Anderson.
Its to attain that comic feels. You know that comics used panels right. And there is no inbetween between panels. Its just one moment you saw the superhero preparing to punch a guy from the pov of the guy about to get punched and the next panel you saw the guy getting punched from the side and you saw his teeth flying. Yeah its to achieve that sensation. Comic panels.
There are also lots of close ups of her feet during that scene for extra Tarantino vibes.
@fiveways That's exactly why it took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to get through a 2 hour and 12 minute movie.
In the game Metal Gear Solid 4, the main character has an eye patch called “the solid eye.” It’s the monocle Mike describes!
A Half in the Bag about Metal Gear Solid 4, just imagine lol
@@mtsbrz I mean, it might as well be a movie, so it would make sense. Does it still have the longest cutscene in a game, or did something have a longer one?
the ps3 still has no games
@@olathianwhiskey416 the ps3 had plenty of good games. the problem is, MGS4 is the only great game that can’t be played on another console. all the rest have had ports/remakes/remasters/etc.
@@mtsbrz imagine
Jay's unexpected appearance during mention of Space Jam got me good, that was wonderfully timed.
Thankfully we get the full, unedited scene where Mike describes his film concept "The Monocle" in rich detail.
I love the Star Trek Generations VHS box on the table.
delta and now delta plus?! im sick of all these subscription services
They should have put "THE HALF IN THE BAG" in the title for this reupload.
This version is so comitee-driven. Release the Stoklasa cut!
I was so happy when Starro was revealed, I never thought a DC film would do it because it’s so out there, so when I saw hints of it in the trailer I was pretty hyped to see the film. This is how you do a suicide squad film, it did what it needed to do.
"Who are you, masked vigilante?" "I am The Monocle!"
18:00 its not that the gender swap was an issue, its that they pulled a Wolverine Origins Deadpool on Taskmaster. A funny, intelligent character that is hyper competent and has actually thrown down his weapons and said "I'm not paid enough for this, the bad guy is up on the 12th floor. The elevator is rigged with explosives so use the stairs I guess... Bye" and walked off because the full Avengers stroll into a build looking for a fight. Guy made his living by TRAINING mooks and henchmen of other villains on how to fight the heroes they bumped into the most. Then they figuratively sowed his mouth shut just like with Deadpool.
Jay saying "who cares about that character and WHY?" is such a perfect example of how they ruined Taskmaster. If they had actually done him right you would know why people care about him.
@@keeleon Come on, its not like we are talking about freaking moriarty or something that is not being adapted very well. Trust me guys, Taskmaster doesnt freaking matter even if he is "adapted well"
@@star88wars Sounds like some one who doesn't know fuck all about Taskmaster.
His personality is a professional with a line, he isn't a super serious person despite being a experienced killer that can, if he wants to, fight the most dangerous heros in his world and come out on top when it comes to life or death, and he actually does respect the heros he fights and knows when not to pick a fight. He is a more interesting villain then 90% of the villains used in Marvel movies and has had great story lines, despite being a villain he could easily be the main character of his own film. Hell, if Disney didn't decide to waste him like they do all of their villains, I could easily see him not just appearing in the Dead Pool movies, but as a main character since he is a pretty big foil to Dead Pool in comics when they face each other since he's the only person he can't copy the movements of.
Lastly this is a comment on a review about Sucide Squad, a movie that took characters that ACTUALLY didn't matter in their comics and adapted them into great likeable characters.
@@rikowolfin4984 Yeah I dont know anything about that dude, his design is so generic that i never actually investigated how fanfuckingtastic he is in the comics. So yeah i dont care who he is.
But at the end you agree with me.
Black widow is generic bad movie but their version of taskmaster works with the themes they tried to do. Same thing with the suicide squad.
They didnt adapted them straight from the comics, they changed everything about them to fit it in with the tone and the themes of the movies. Same thing with taskmaster. You all make it sound like we missed the second coming of christ. It really doesnt matter who this characters are, it matter what you do with them.
question is, who cares?
I would love to see a franchise with rotating characters in director-driven movies
That’s how you doom a franchise
@@matthewtrujillo3309 worst case scenario; one movie is really bad. But then the next movie a new director does his own take. It doesn't even have to be in the same continuity just the core "team of comic villains" story will di
@@matthewtrujillo3309 It's not like the DCEU was in great shape previously lmao
@@pureevil9496 It was financially and its pretty clear the earlier films had their fans. Now their films can't even cross 300 million domestic or 500 million worldwide. All they really have is Aquaman thanks to China and another reboot of Batman
@@matthewtrujillo3309 Well if they have to make good movies at a loss or bad movies for profit then I'd still prefer good movies
Monocle is actually a supervillain who fights Hawkman. He is a optician and developed a monocle that shoots laser beams.

Sorry Mike, the correct answer is Deathstroke (DC - Edgy super mercenary with super reflexes and only one eye)
There's also Bloodshot who got his own movie last year, he was played by Vin Diesel
I found the blood shot movie quite ok
“Don’t shoot! I’ve got so many year to live!” 😂
I like how this movie was seemingly made by someone who likes DC.
The Ayer film is already so close to his previous films. Bad dialogue, cop worship, lots of action not much on the surface. Fury was alright but just alright. The theatrical cut of Suicide Squad was Ayer approved at the time he’s just jumping on the Snyder cult wagon.
Gunn’s film is the best DC but the dorks ignored it
Yall should watch Venture bros.
I noticed a difference! At 28:37 Jay talks about splash-pages in comic-books, and the old version of this video had King Shark ripping somebody apart in there
I'm not re-watching the entire 45 minutes, I kinda assumed they had to remove the short cuts of music from the original Suicide Squad movie. Is that stuff still in?
I guess the original vid got age-restricted.
@@myrpok Haven't full rewatched everything, but the 2second song clips are still in there! :)
@@ivchatov Oh yeah that makes sense. I did notice some blurring of gore before, I'd guess it's more extensive now
Amazing catch!!!
I'm seven minutes in and perfectly happy if they never talk about the movie and this just stays a sitcom.
Please let Mike talk about Doom Patrol someday. Really great, really weird show that doesn’t shy away from letting it’s characters deal with real trauma
I was on the fence on whether or not to watch this movie for a while, but a couple critic reviews I've seen convinced me to give it a chance. I went into it almost wanting to hate it, but it really quickly became the most fun I've had watching a movie in a long time, especially in the theater. If you're on the fence like I was, give it a go. It's worth it.
It was so bad
I liked it too. At 1st wasn't sure but went to cousins who had HBO. It's a way better movie than the 1st one. It's actually a competent funny movie imo
I do a dollar rental
5/10. Some decent parts, but otherwise pretty uninspired.
@@one_with_kevrything9825 “uninspired?” This is literally the most inspired DC movie that’s been made these last two decades, arguably even ever. The hell’re you on about?
Ahh finally the half in the bag directors cut with an hour and a half of Plinkett plot
Should've named it The Half in the Bag: The Suicide Squad since you had to redo it, just like WB.
“They made her a full-blown villain”
In the last movie she shot an entire room of innocent people who worked for her….
Another great show guys, RLM never disappoints. Hilarious & brilliant! Love this channel. Never fails to put a smile on my face! 🤣👍
Oh snap reupload. But to echo my comment in the previous: I would love a Re:View of Doom Patrol! Has been mentioned a few different times now and I think it is worthy of the attention. Plus that show could use all the eyeballs possible, and would love to hear a long form discussion from Mike about it.
jay probably haven't seen/like doom patrol as much as mike, that's why they haven't made video discussing it...
I've noticed that they tend to refrain from reviewing movies, but especially TV shows, that tackle mental illness and psychological traumas. Maybe they recognize they don't have the necessary knowledge of clinical psychology to comment on them and they don't want to make fun of mental illness, or maybe it's triggering personal traumas of their own.
P.S. To be clear, I know they have reviewed Joker and Split and many other blockbuster films that have mental illness as a theme.
@@davi_dew I know. It's just something I've noticed but it could also be my own bias because of my interest in clinical psychology.
@@ErebosGR It is your bias, dude. What you said is absolute nonsense.
Personally I think it is the best Comic book adaptation thus far
I wish Mike would tie me up.
*BONK!*
This is the best skit you guys have done yet. Bravo!
