The flashback with the rats keeping RC2 and her dad warm was some 80s level heartwarming.
yeah, that was 90s disney level.
That part made me emotional.
@@thespacesbetweenstudio3346 no 80s level not shitty 90s👎
When it comes to movie reviews, this channel is second to none. Well done, Oliver
Vala baš!
Too bad it tanked financially. DC missed the boat on good movies and success. Shazam and Aquaman were good quality, and this SS was good as well.
Yeah I liked Captain Marvel
DC still hasnt quite got it right and the recent developments have divided the fandom, and that is the real issue with them and with Marvel. Bad year overall for hero films, imho. It isnt the film's fault, but thinking oversaturation, the pandemic and lot of divisive moves by film companies have cost them at the ticket booth.
@@DeltaAssaultGaming I love Captain Marvel!
it really is a shame this isnt making money because everyones only watching it on hbo
among other reasons...
It isnt really. Nobody knows who these people are, they killed them, so no investment was necessary. Suicde Squad 1 was bad, but Will Smith was why people came to see the movie - even if Cena and Elba had the best lines ... just no investment in it, and nobodyh was willing to risk going to see it due to the pandemic. Then there was streaming -just a bad timing and a film that didnt really know what it wanted to be. This was good for some, and so-so for others.
@@SuperOmnicronsj44 u have a shitty taste bruh .oh u easily getting offended crybaby or u are a trash snyder fan cuz this movie is fucking awesome
@@SuperOmnicronsj44 What do you mean by “no investment”? Sure these are obscure characters, but the film does a perfect job of establishing them and getting you invested in their journeys.
Just watched the movie last weekend, I loved it. Great story, good gore, solid cast, superb writing, and wonderful direction by James Gunn. Better than the first movie in every single way.
Loved the film, also great to see Peter Capaldi in Hollywood!
your a legend mr bundy
how in the f do you know about coallative learning???? My estimation of you as a man has increased by %29 percent
@@FreedumbFighter29 Lots of people know about Collative Learning. He's not some mystical creature from another world.
@@nectarinedreams7208 lol well i just never imagined bundy being into it......and in a sea of 1 billion youtube accounts, he might as well be a mythical creature. but hey man...thanks for the chuckle. much appreciated
Loved this movie. A lot of fun and very likable characters. So glad to see a comic book movie actually accept its comic bookness and go full in on the weirdness
i know they probably officially said its taking a lot from the original comic but just wanna say its taking a lot more from the 2011 comic since noone else is mentioning it
Oh
This was still a misfire from DC and they are stacking these L's up ... just all over the place in terms of marketing, execution, trailers.
Hey Oliver Harper. Would you do a Retrospective and Review of James Gunn’s Slither?
I had an issue with Capaldi's Thinker character. He didnt seem to have ANY super powers. He wasnt a well done bad guy.He had a bunch of weird tubes protruding from his skull for no reason. Theydidnt increase his intelligence at all. Also there was a moment when he claimed "only he could control the creature", but clearly could not at the end. Imo the strength of a film is the conflict between the heroes and the villains. They were NOt equal to each other, so the tension was lacking at the end.
Did Vicky Vale not take pictures in Corto Maltese in the 1989 Batman...?
Corto maltise made famos in frank miller's the dark knight returns
Yes she did.
I do wish Capt Boomerang got a different fate in the movie. I liked his character in this movie more than I liked him in the previous film. But it is what it is.
What is the music that plays during the credits, it has a 16 bit vibe
Love your channel! Can you do a review of Class of 1999?
Please tell me that end credits song is an Original song!
"Contains Minor Spoilers" ??? He gives a DETAILED plot summary, and show bits of scenes from all over the film. I've already seen it, but that might bother others. Good review of a film that is wonderful fun.
Nah it’s good. I don’t need to watch it now. Thanks oliver
yes, he might have stated that a little heavier.
I know it's called suicide squad but I think they killed to many characters in the film
Was almost like just killing them for the sake of it
Movie was straight trash
@@AchillesNYC I quite enjoyed it.
Great video but I get more sound from right speaker than left, editing mistake?
3:29 uncle Lloyd dancing in the background!!!
I have been waiting for this review
What happened to Killer Croc and Katana??
Good to have met you on Saturday. Ive subscribed and look forward to seeing your stuff.
Compared to the 2016 movie, James Gunn's 'The Suicide Squad' is a God damn Masterpiece!
Gunn's Squad is a better representation of the team compared to 2016.
This is not how reviews work though
No cinemas near me open, would love to go see this though. Capaldi being in this odd huge for me, guy is brilliant.
get it on direct download
I didn't think it was much better than the first one. Still full of choppy editing, it jumps all over the place and the time skips are just gimmicky at this point. I still can't believe it cost 185 mill. Half of the film looked like second unit footage. It wasn't horrible but it def wasn't a win.
Really nigga. Watch it agin when you turn 18
@@overlord6993 oh my god haha
>He was first offered Superman, but chose Suicide Squad.
Holy shit, bullet dodged on that one.
Gunn: I was draw to the original comics because it was about a bunch of losers.
Translation: The five minute Wiki summary someone gave me about the original material was interesting.
(pretending that he read or respects the original material while butchering Waller is such a shitty move)
Question (i know nothing about almost all these characters or DC comics in general) - Rat Catcher - her sleepiness is a side effect of her ability to control rats?
More like a side effect of being a teen. She reminded me of my niece.
Oliver Harper is the man.
Spot on
Suicide Squad III featuring the characters Kickboxer, Cyborg, and Death Warrant.
No Hard Target, Street Fighter and/or The Colony? 😅🤣🤣🤣
@@Nightmaroid Have to save sometime for Squad IV :P
Loved the movie! Anyone see Lloyd Kaufman make a small cameo?
When??!
@@whityouyahbam hes in the crowd when they enter the bar
It's a 3 out of 5 for me, not great but mildly enjoyable and a good way to pass an afternoon.
Exactly.
It was a very very well filmed, visually interesting, really nice coloured but ultimately generic movie that felt it had to had all the bullet points from Deadpool. No time to breathe in scenes just jump from trying-too-hard comedy to over the top gore for no reason at all. A step in the right direction for this type of movie, but a step too late. Makes me wonder what would've happened if Gunn was allowed to make Guardians 3 instead.
Polka dot man...
I thought it was Coconut man 🤣🤣
The Thinker does show up in the 5th season of CWs The Flash as the main villain of the season. He frames Flash for a crime he didn’t commit.
i think the suicide squad should have a different team with each movie... and that the surviving characters should get a chance to appear in different movies. like bloodsport should be in a superman movie and kingshark in an aquaman movie and ratcatcher in a batman movie
After this box office, doubtful a SS 3 is coming ... wouldnt mind SS v Justice League or Justice League Dark, though. Gunn should take time off to get this thing right - box office was horrible.
Bloodsport, Rick Flag and Milton are my favourites. But all characters are amazing.
I can watch this flick over and over again. Hope more studios take risks like this. It's good for the growth of the genre.
That box office was tepid. The Suicide Squad cost way too much to make. Blame the pandemic , major flop for DC AGAIN. SAD as it was a good film, but who was really asking for a Sequel to a film people passed on. They droppped the ball on marketing imho.
It could have been easy to do the 1st one right if the had stuck the original story 'Assault on Arkham', which the clearly copied parts of then cocked it up. If anyone want's to see what the 1st film should have been, then watch the animated and adult Batman: Assault on Arkham.
I do want to see the Ayer Cut of the first attempt still.
I cant put this into the correct words to get across, but here goes.
I love the use of colour in this film, the way it stands out in places really ties it to its comic roots.
You may appreciate a martial arts film called Hero if you haven't seen it!!!!!
It’s a fine movie, but I was a little bit underwhelmed after seeing all the glowing reviews. Especially the action scenes weren’t that great I think. Mostly the usual shootouts and the finale felt like the studio had the final say.
Yes. Once the credits rolled at the end of the film, I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. I think you've successfully helped me understand why. The final fight scene was bog standard Hollywood and I really didn't like the whole starfish aspect.
Like someone shat in your dessert during an otherwise delicious full course meal.
7:47, told my mom it took 7 hours in a Makeup chair to turn him into The Thinker.
Say what you will about the reviews, but I was stoked we got a feel good movie worth searching over and over! Nowadays, there's few movies I can say are worth doing that anymore!
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😉
Waiting for Amanda Waller to recruit Oliver Harper into the next Suicide Squad.
"Other TWO flix?" Did i miss one?
james gunn should do the soundrack of my life :D amazing film, Ratcatcher was a surprise
The thinker? Wasn't he in an early season of the flash?
It's gotta be the same character surely.
that was deVoe
this is Gaius Grieves
I don't dislike this movie, but didn't find it as good as everyone said
Most overrated movie of the year so far.
Same here. It was a bit formulaic and predictable and it wasn't really all that funny, either. It's not a bad movie, but pretty overhyped right now.
Why must the pendulum swing?
Yeah, I agree. It was definitely easy to watch unlike the last one, but it's more of a case of chocolate ice cream after having eaten a bucket of shit. Even the lowest grade chocolate ice cream will taste great after a bucket of shit. Not hating on the film or anything, I just think the movie business is full of people green lighting crap and middle of the road stuff gets more praise than it should because of that.
it's not,people tend to overrate r-rated comic book movies.
It was a good movie but aside from Polka Dot Mans mother the comedy parts just didn't hit right. I caught all the queues that I'm supposed to laugh and think the part was funny but for me it felt like the same old cliche cheap generic and predictable comedy and as a comedy enthusiast I don't like to give away free laughs. The movie kept me entertained there wasn't too many long drawn out boring scenes and unlike so many other movies I wasn't begging for it to end.
Another mehh superhero movie wich i already have forgotten an hour after watching it.
Agreed.
Yeah that’s just like you know ……you’re opinion man

The Suicide Squad can be watched on HBO Max.
A talking shark worth the the price of ticket alone
The talking shark was ret****d though
It's decent enough and well made but I did find myself getting a little bored during certain sections of the movie.
Yeah. Absolutely. It was too long and predictable in some parts
While I don't think it's as funny as GoTG, I do think Gunn did some neat things- especially with some of these maniacs' mental states.
The first half is really strong and feels unpredictable (like Deadpool). But the second half gets more generic and conventinal (like Deadpool). Solid fun, but not the second coming critics are making it out as. Being better than the first one isn't exactly some grand feat.
7/10
I see that you have a spoiler warning in the description, but just a heads up that I watch a lot of TH-cam on my TV, and video descriptions aren't available there. Maybe add the warning to the title or the thumbnail too for those people who aren't watching on their phone or laptop etc. Otherwise, keep up the good work. 😎👍
Foe me it was just Meh .... moving along from scene to scene ... nothing new here... I want a decent Superman Film again
Overall I enjoyed it. It wasn’t incredible or Gunn’s best movie. But it was fun and I had a nice time watching it.
Remember when you simply enjoyed a movie but it was incredible.? The bar has been set so low now, that will just take anything.
@@SuperOmnicronsj44 exactly!
Okay did anyone think Bloodsport’s mask looked like a Xenomorph?
the costume designers were inspired by them and HR Giger's designs
@@Greydevil82 i love it!!
This is the best DCEU Harley so far.
Peacemaker and Polka-Dot Man were fantastic.
King Shark and Ratcatcher 2 are so lovable.
James Gunn is fantastic at balancing humor, emotion, and action.
YES! SO AGREE!!!
The movie had all the elements to be great, but the plot was really lame. I was entertained visually and comedically, but my expectations storywise were higher. I don´t expect some Nolan or Villeneuve interconnected, philosophical stuff, but a plot that isn´t Team-Objective-HugeAlienBattle.
Its written by a pervert that's why.
"Head" scientist - BRUHAHAHAHAHA!!! Now I get it... "Head"!!! Because he has those things sticking out of his head... and he's a scientist.:) :) :)
RIP Flula. 😥
Olivers opinions are the voice of God
I thought it was juvenile and low brow. The clichés were super apparent and the tonal shifts seem to come from a schizophrenic, attention deficit disordered mind. Tarantinoesque slow mo team walking while misuse of Pixies song made me want to leave but i stayed. Horrendously terrible bullet time slomo while we have 50 cuts during a hand to hand fight scene is the epitome of dredfulness. Harley is black widow her de dur. I just love the surrealostic harley farting flowers, so engaging. I fucking hated it.
And who thinks polka-dot's mom was a good joke? Over and over with what looked like a goddamned doritos commercial from the early oughts.
The first team don’t ESCAPE. They get massacred.
I loved this movie
Good movie. A lot of fun. It doesn’t take itself too seriously. Like the first film .
Love this movie
I enjoyed this and sorry i enjoyed the first film too... sue me.
The plot to the movie is very similar to The Guns Of Navarone, where British and American Commandos try to knock out a Nazi fortress housing 2 Radar Controlled Guns
That's also the plot for the original Star wars
I don't think Gunn is funny at all and I think he uses comedy as a screen to hide behind.
>no bro you can't criticize that dramatic scene for not landing I made it a joke at the end!
Was never a fan of James Gunn but I am now.
Oh this is PG-13?! I truly thought it was R too. HAH Birds of Prey had equal amounts of violence depicted on screen.
I liked it
Robot chicken Starro episode: The movie
Where's the review for Double Impact?!!
Really wanted to like it but it was just boring, badly paced and stupid...Did not help they got Back Robbie as Harley which I dispise. Bloodshot and PeaceMaker were entertaining but overall the whole Film was a disappointment
Seems like it's Promising I'll Check it out though I don't Harley Quinn
Great movie and easily the best DCEU movie.
Aquaman, Shazam and Man of Steel would disagree - so would their box office take. A sad misfire but it was good - the hero genre is ending unfortunately .. blame pandemic, blame oversaturation, blame a lot of things - shouldve done MUCH better in my opinion. No way is it the best DCEU film. They are still very inconsistent. This was.a fresh change, but the R rating did it no favors.
Its ok movie. Which is a good mark for DC but its not so hard when 90% of their movies are trash
I hope the next part is called "Suicide Squad", and the sequel to that is called "Suicide Squad".
The movie was a good time. A good time is not what I had watching the 2016 SS.
Had a good time with both - this was good, but still not doing anything at the box office and it cost too much to make. The marketing was atrocious and Harley Quinn is not a lead. Gunn should take a break from the genre and get back to horror.
Good movie.
The reason reviews are perhaps excessively positive is A) most DC movies suck and B) basically decent genre movies are getting rarer and rarer.
A
Alright fuck it, enough above average reviews, FUCK IT, I guess I'll go watch a comic book movie, I had kinda sworn off them.
I enjoyed this film, much better than the first suicide squad movie thats for sure. Awesome review oliver
I thought it was crap the first half hour was funny but after that it was really unfunny and lame. The happy ending made me feel ill thought I was watching a Disney cartoon.
I watched the first suicide squad for the first time 2 weeks ago (god awful). I can’t bring myself to watching the new one.
This movie was complete shite.
I don’t get the positive reviews. The plot is overdone and boring. I didn’t find it funny and the villains are stupid. I wanted to love it but is was mainly average. 5/10 for me. John cena sucks
I enjoyed it, but I have two things to complain about.
First - after around one hour mark the movie kind of retreats into being a more or less straightforward superhero film. Yes, the final battle is bizarre and creative, but I think that if there were FORCED to fight that giant monster instead of choosing to, it would work better. Maybe not forced by Amanda Waller, but, let's lay, Starro would destroy they "ride" home and there was no other way to leave the island, and if the monster weren't defeated US would nuke the entire island. Just to keep that idea that ultimately they are asshole and random rejects doing what's best in their own interests, and not having that obvious "we decided that we are heroes now" moment.
Second - I don't really like the character of Harley Quinn. Or, rather, she feels like a book with first chapters of it ripped off. Her relationship with the Joker and her being an antagonist to Batman were never explored. We are TOLD all those things at best. It like they would make Teen Titans movie, and Robin would barely mention Batman.
Because them being forced is the whole premise of the suicide squad 🤦🏻♀️ you want them to be good hearted super heroes 😂
@@MajinTar wut
@@MajinTar Learn to read idiot.
Why would they explore her relationship with Joker or Batman if it’s completely irrelevant to the story?
@@JackWolf10 I am not talking this movie in particular.
I am saying that Harley Quinn character in DCEU lacks the necesssary context. It' doesn't matter for other characters, their whole gimmick in this movie is that they are bizarre obscure characters nobody knows about, but Harley Quinn is a tad different, she feels like we skipped parts of her character arc. Like, imagine if Iron Man only appeared in Infinity War as is, without being developed before in his solo movies and previous Avengers movies.
Wow , what happened to Oliver Harper? A review of a film just released about two weeks ago not 30-40 years ago? LOL
Yeah it shocked me too the first time he did that
Your Right it is a breath of fresh Air! So much Fun compared to the OG! They really did let James Gunn just go & do what he's best at! And that's making... Crazy Fun Action Comedic Ensemble Cast With the right actors etc!! Oh and what about A Dance off between The Peacemaker vs Zimo lol 😆 😂 🤣
I can’t believe they made this movie. Suicide Squad (2016) was terrible, seriously bad, one of the worst movies I ever saw. The Suicide Squad uses some of the same characters, and others are just ‘replacements’ (ie Killer Croc/King Shark and Deadshot/Bloodsport). It’s makes no sense that a movie studio would invest millions in making a movie that seems to be trying to replicate large parts of another movie that bombed so hard
There aren’t as many returning characters as it seems. The film has a lot of misdirection and most of our protagonists are completely different. It’s far removed from the original.
I have not seen it yet, but I have a buddy who has walked out of previous superhero movies, and he called me and raved about it for fifteen minutes. Sounds like a genuine winner.
Boring movie even with all of the action. Characters that are not likeable... plot that is straight forward and stupid and as too many flashbacks... bad CGI....and last but not least PRETEEN HUMOR.
Seriously you need to have the humor of Beavis and Butthead to enjoy this one.
Most overrated movie of the year. This made mortal kombat look good.
AGREED.
Preteen humor iS really a problem here. I dont like Deadpool because of it and this is same.
I really enjoyed it. Best dc film in some time.
How to make a good DC movie? Make marvel movie with DC characters
Eh, it was a solid B-. Everything is turning into Deadpool now. Cute little quips, curse, gore, repeat. Still I don't feel like I wasted my time and wasn't preached to, so that's a win.
