WB needs to lean into the fact that they can corner the market on R rated superhero movies. They have the perfect cast of characters for it, plus it would allow them to stand apart from the MCU and offer audiences something different.
It will also allow to be nowhere near as big as the MCU. You will never capture MCU style box office returns with a movie that kids are not allowed to watch. Even if a R rated movie makes a billlion it would have still made more if it were available to a wider audience.
@@kityhawk2000 f*ck the kids that's the problem with MCU Movies they playing with boundaries they catering money over creating coherent story I see why edgar wright and Scott Derrickson leave oversaturated with jokes in every 10 mins no wonder majority fan favorite movie captain America winter soldier is great because it has less jokes with it don't get me wrong I'm a MCU fan but it's starting to get stale and cringy when every jokes starts shoving in our throats (Black Widow) thank god Disney+ MCU series is different to the MCU latest MCU Movies more serious and technically surprisingly good
That's a misconception...It's not like he was forced to it in six weeks...When writing a contract writers are given an estimation to complete the writing...So David had an choice to walk off but he didnt
Wouldve preferred if we got to know them a bit and they died at the end of act one. Billing actors AFTER you never will see them again also annoys the shit outta me. And there one death there thats unnecessary. Although TDK blowing everyones mind easily makes up for my complaints.
Imagine having a character that controls rats, putting her in a movie with names like Idris Elba and Margot Robbie, with some major charisma and personalities in the mix and STILL create the most stand out character. Adored her character and the actress' work in it.
Yup! And, not to take away from that clearly talented actress, but one of the main reasons she was cast as Ratcatcher 2 is because she was comfortable around rats irl
Actually, I would say she was the weakest of the main cast of important characters. Heck, she didn't even feel like she was in the movie much, it was almost like she was written in at the last second she was gone for most of the movie, and even when she returned she only had some small romance subplot with some dude for a few minutes lol until the climax. I was actually surprised at how little of importance she was, honestly if she was left out the movie would have run smoother.
I mean, why wouldn't we. He was kidnapped, tortured and experimented on for 3 decades. It's totally understandable he'd go on a rampage, he doesn't know or care who's innocent and who's guilty for his imprisonment.
I loved that too... that and, "Nobody likes a showoff... unless what they are doing is dope as f**k." I don't know if the joke was good or it was John Cena's delivery that was good. Enjoyed the John Cena-Bloodsport rivalry.
The line at the end when starro said " I was happy just floating in the sky staring at the stars" got to me. I genuinely felt bad for him after finding out he was tortured by the U.S. government for 30 years so they could create some kind of alien technology. Who could blame the guy for being pissed off?
I loved that line...which makes the generic baddie "This city is mine now." Line a bit earlier a bit jarring. What do you want outta life,mr. Big fish?
@@constantinedeanfrownysmila2421 Well at first he was pissed so he wanted to take over the entire city I can't blame him for being angry, but when they killed him he explained he was perfectly happy in the sky floating, and they could've left him alone there where he was happy at...
@@constantinedeanfrownysmila2421 Keyword is "This CITY is mine now." and not "This WORLD is mine now." As the government of that city was the one who tortured him.
@@Josh-dy4lq the director threw out the whole point of the story by removing the morality clause of the tale to create an ambiguous ending and say something about his bipolar relationship with his mother. It also really felt like a forced attempt at a jizz shot that really had no purpose it didn't work for me with Pattinson in The Lighthouse and it fails here. Dev Patel and Alicia Vikander were amazing the cinematography was amazing. It's a great piece of art but amputating the story made it all lipstick on a pig.
Let’s just say what it is. James Gunn knows The dynamic of the characters he’s working with and is really good about putting a lot of characters on screen.
Yep. He gave a crap about filmmaking, unknown CB characters and cared for the actors...It wasn't "Here, Joker, Will Smith and Margot robbie are hot. have some good music. Enough"
Fun fact: The live action Scooby-Doo movie which came out at 2002 starring Freedie Prince Jr as Fred and his real life wife Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, Matthew Lillard as Shaggy and the actress who played as Hawkeye's wife as Velma was written by James Gunn (as one of the writers at that time). I guess he likes to be involved in the movie with a group of lovable characters.
Best part. I literally cried laughing in the theater. Peacekeeper: "I've got a clear shot on the only one in the building." Shows a housekeeper with virtually no threat xD John Cena found his character.
@@Sharkbait.OoHaha A Desert Eagle is normally a pretty big pistol-Peacemaker's version has a even longer barrel making it bigger-and then in that one scene where he put a sound supressor on it, so it's just a BIG GUN.
@@Sharkbait.OoHaha a desert eagle is massive, he has an extra big version just so it looks even more ridiculous, THEN he adds a massive suppressor on it
One of the most underrated jokes in the movie was a small line in the beginning of planning to invade Jotunheim after Rick Flag asked them who ate all the empanadas, you can see from the corner that King Shark toss aside a food wrapper
@@InterrogatorChaplainAzraphil Harley is really bad with names huh? Frank, Milton... Its no wonder she dated Joker, don't need to remember his real name
@@jesusolguin5896 Completely agree. Also, don't forget an additional R.I.P. for the javelin guy, Captain Boomerang, and the orange alien lady. Not sure if T.D.K. is dead yet, he could be. God, why did Peacemaker have to turn out to be such a douche? Things were going well, everyone was looking alright, but no, Peacemaker has to ruin it. And his character wasn't even that much of a jerk earlier, just comic relief before. Sure, the fight between him and Rick was a good scene, but it didn't have to end like that, did it? Oddly enough, I'm kind of glad Peacemaker survived, even if he's a douche. But he should definitely apologize to the team, and ESPECIALLY to Ratcatcher 2. And until he does, he'll always be a joke and a douche. Beacon of freedom, my ass! Seriously. What kind of supposed "hero" points his gun at a young girl? After Col. Flag explained that they were experimenting on kids, Peacemaker should've put the damn gun down, and started helping Flag and the others STOP the giant kaiju starfish! Seriously! I'd think a massive killer space starfish would be MORE IMPORTANT THAN A STUPID flash drive!!! Glad Bloodsport shot him. Peacemaker is damn lucky he didn't get killed. And the funny thing is, I'm actually a HUGE fan of John Cena, as a wrestler and actor. But he's not above criticism. Nobody is. But despite that, I love this movie, and I hope to see all of these characters again sometime, but in another good movie, as long as they're not being brutally murdered, that is.
@@shawnfields2369 yeah all of them too, but it hurt more when the polkadot man, Flagg and Milton died . The rest that died just shook me up bit except captain boomerang he went with a smirk on his face.
@@watertommyz You're completely right though, dude. But they are anti-heroes, who are just dying to save the world(props to whoever came up with that tagline for the movie's poster, as it is simple, but clever and effective at the same time, says just what you need to know about how the movie works).
I'm from Porto, Portugal, and seeing my hometown be featured on a blockbuster from Hollywood is mindblowing. I cheered in the last scene with Taika Waititi and young ratcatcher 2 at the top of the Torre dos Clérigos
Gunn is good at letting characters bounce off each other. The advantage is that, by using lesser known characters, you can characterize them however you want.
Exactly! That's why it worked so well with Guardians of the Galaxy. Nobody but the most hard-core Marvel fans knew anything about the Guardians, so they could do whatever they wanted with them. They didn't have to stick with pre-established character traits...
Y'know for me the best part is when waller crew hit her when she's going mad. Showed they are people not just puppet blindly following order. Not many movie did this and this is the best DC IMO
Honestly, I didn't like Amanda Waller actor in the first movie at all. I never bought her as intimidating, it was an obvious act. In this movie she was far more believable, tho I wouldn't go as far as say its perfect casting. But we dont have actor who could portray Waller very well, at least I cant think of one. Cena was great though, I totally bought him and his motivation, its a villain who really believes that he is a hero in his story, great performance and writing. This movie was great, during first act I was stunned how much I was loving this, second act drops off and it lowers my initial 10/10, but third act picks it up again. But at the moment we got Kaiju attack, I really was wondering where the F is Superman at this point, though Snyders Superman probably a fan of mass destruction and murder (yes, I am still salty over Snyders fuck ups...)
We've come to the point in comic book movies where a giant blue and pink starfish is the main antagonist of a film and everyone is on board with the idea and accepts it. I like that.
We're just going back in time. Giant gorilla anyone? big dinosaur? Marvel proved you don't need an interesting villian to make a movie, (but it helps) you just need interesting characters.
i have said this a few times before, starro is a mythos esque treat, and if well written, it could have the same horror as Cuthulhu or Dagon for example. its just that people look at it and see a dumb giant starfish.
My brother looked at me when Harley was in Starro’s eye and the rats were coming in like “imagine walking into the theater right here, with no context.” This movie was so insane. I loved it
I was confused that the bullets bounced off the starfish's eye when the army tried to shoot it but the javeling just pierced it, I mean I love the movie but that was inconsistent
Amaan khan the javelin was supposed to be THE weapon of choice for someone in a super powered squad. I just assumed it had some special properties that make it different from bullets. Not to mention how sharp it could be as something to add. It’s possible that it is a small plot hole , but I think it’s the symbolism of the javelin that kinda works for me when thinking of how THAT pierced the eye when other weapons couldn’t. Like how before they began fighting Starro, Harley goes “I found the reason why I have this javelin” or something of the like. It wasn’t particularly the physical properties of the javelin that defeated Starro, but the symbolism it represented that defeated him. I don’t think that’s overthinking it. It feels pretty intentional. Feel free to tell me I am over analyzing if you think so.
I feel like it’s this films version of Pom K, he cast in Vol. 2 when she hadn’t really been in much stuff outside of like french-Canadian films & the oldboy remake
*SPOILER* I actually cried when Flag died. He really cared about his team and doing what is right. His friendship with Harley was so adorable. I wanted them to be kick ass buddies until the end
What's really funny is that I've been recently rereading no man's land and rat catcher is in that. And everybody's talking about all these obscure villains and I'm like nah bro you just got to read some comics
@@HeathsHarleyQuinn It's been a while since I read No Man's Land, but I definitely remember Ratcatcher being in it. Non-comic readers may have heard of him from his bio in Batman: Arkham Asylum.
Turning John Cena into a villain to the villains was brilliant. Feel like John and Idris Elba work well off of each other. Idris with the acting and John with the fighting. Better than the Fast and Furious movies lately🙄
This movie was actually funny, heart felt, and had a cohesive plot. My only question for DC is where do they go from here? What’s the overall goal? Do they keep throwing random movies out and just wait to see which ones fans like or do they have a real story they’re trying to tell.
They spoke about it awhile back, they're focusing on stand alone stories going forward. There isn't a overarching plot leading into anything. They are gonna world build still within each film, so characters can crossover or spin off into other films but the stories will be self contained. And there still will be cross over films like The Flash. But this imo is for the best this is what will make them stand apart from MCU. Marvel focuses on interconnected stories between there films to tell a bigger plot, while DC will instead just tell do their own event movies within a stand alone narrative.
@@myfavedits71 not rushing what?? there's nothing to rush. Every DC movie is in it's own self contained world. There's no bigger picture because the individual directors are all doing there own thing. If you're expecting this to eventuallly build to an Infitity War or Endgame- like massive corssover you're going to be disappointed.
I agree, but I loved the first one as well as this; but i do LOVE this movie more. Definitely. But I also wish that Captain Boomerang hadn't gotten killed off; along with the javelin guy, TDK, and Polka Dot Man. But you're right, so much better than the first, it's not even close. But I'm also, oddly glad that Peacemaker didn't die at the end, despite that he killed Rick Flag. But he definitely needs to apologize to the team, and to Ratcatcher 2 for what he did, otherwise, he'll always be a douche and a joke. Also, I'm a huge fan of John Cena, as a wrestler and actor.
I think Joel Kinnaman is so slept on as an actor. He’s fantastic in every role I’ve seen him in. This movie for sure, but especially “The Killing”. I think he deserves more attention.
People usually makes fun of him because he is often a Action Hero actor, but that's amazing I actually felt sad in the movie when... (Spoiler) He dies, I really wanted to see more of him in DC.
@@akhtaruzzamanjoy8524 he was the main competitor in the president race against Frank Underwood. The guy can certainly act cuz to go toe to toe in scenes with Kevin Spacey and not feel like Spacey is taking all the spotlight, speaks volumes.
This is what happens when you let a real director direct a movie. James Gunn just showed how to make great female characters who do great things without having to make all the male characters incompetent or blatantly evil with a hatred for women. This was a fantastic movie.
I noticed that, Ratchacher 2 and Harley had great moments, Amanda Waller was badass, the leader of the freedom fighters was a woman and there were even women soldiers on the side of the military, a lot of good female roles done right without any rants or shoving in our face how men are bad.
Under Disney they would've given themselves so many pat on the backs and would want you to make sure you know how feminist they are. 😂 It's funny that this film does a better job with female characters than all of their intentional efforts. The female characters also dont have to pretend to act like men to be considered powerful and 'feminist". They'are all their own fun characters, are allowed to be vunerable, fun, serious, and have any emotion they want, because that's how people are in real life. And Disney still doesn't get that with their female heroines.
You notice how the woman director of Birds of Prey's main focus for Harley was to beat men she had to kick all their balls and always go for the nuts. In this Harley held her own with skills and i dont think she had to kick or hit one guy in the nuts to decimate the soldiers. She's just a badass! That Birds of Prey movie is Femanazie bullshit!
SPOILERS ALERT I wish the weasel had more scenes, he's hilarious. Also appreciate the fact that poka dot guy is completely different from the comics with seeing everybody as his mom, nihilistic and have poka dot herpes
I thought this movie was like a sequal to the first movie. Because as soon as Rick, Boomerang and Harley met up in this movie, they were smiling! It was a sense of cameraderie. They were already friends and they were enjoying each other's company. They already went on a big journey together and now they're onto the next. I like that. Kinda heartfelt
He likes using unknown characters cause he can change everything about them instead of trying to depict a somewhat faithful accurate depiction. Guardians being a good example
Honestly smart move James Gunn is definitely top 5 smartest directors of all time I wish he can fix the transformers franchise bumblebee was cool one of my faves but he’d definitely turn around the bay verse nonsense i liked tf1 and tf3 tho
And no pressure to mess up, unlike with the huge responsibility with characters like spider-man. Also for the audience its easier to get hooked because what you see is what's first for most. So nothing to compare
@@JJJameson. 100% agree. Since then, hes always front n center, hes reference in almost everything. Hes in like every comic. He's on articles that have nothing to do with him for clicks.
Even the Rat had character development and characterization. Freaking Sebastian, I loved that character. It just goes to show it doesn't matter how many characters your film has, or how goofy or obscure the characters are, if studios actually cared to hire capable screenwriters who care, that's all you need. No comic property is off limits, you just need quality writers and director's who have passion for this stuff. Really hoping the Batgirl movie gets a good team behind it.
The team doesn't really matter. Unless you're big/famous enough, studio executives will always think they know best and edit the movie into oblivion. James Gunn made billions in the box office with GotG 1&2, Zack Snyder did not. Which one did WB give full creative control?
@@thekidfromcanada I get that but that doesn't really apply to my point. My point was for these films to succeed in quality you need capable filmmakers, not just capable, because Ang Lee and Martin Campbell are capable filmmakers, but you need capable filmmakers who actually understand the comics and their appeal to make a good film. Everything else you said is almost an entirety different topic. But appreciate the reply :) have a good one stranger.
@@thundergodcid960 I can understand not liking the casting, but how does having a different race play a character affect the quality of the film to make you concerned to have low hope? Tons of films have done race swapping and have been hits and critically acclaimed by fans and critics alike. Again I can understand not liking a particular casting but to say the film has low hopes just because of that almost sounds a bit.... Not gonna jump to conclusions, hope you reply and elaborate further. :)
That scene near the end with ratcatchers 2's final flashback actually made me tear up, as it's such a good analogy for what the suicide squads members are. there's only big mistake imo, its that they shouldn't have played off you know who's death for a laugh In the final battle, maybe an extended edition would fix that, I feel maybe a few minor edits would make it work better without having to do reshoots.
@@snatcher8517 to be honest I was with Harley Quinn where I didn't even notice Milton, like I knew he was there, but didn't expect them to be a character. Polkadot man is who I meant
@@captenmurica8843 Yeah, agreed. unfortunately if no one died during the Starro fight it wouldn't have felt very intimidating. They had to pull out something, and Polka-dot man was the most expendable
This was a great DC movie, violent, funny, gory. It felt like an actual comic book movie. King shark and polka dot man were my favourite characters, Starro was hilarious and terrifying also 😂
"In a world where the ninja turtles and batman have crossed paths, in my headcanon she is the daughter of the rat king." not the strangest headcanon i've heard of. Trust.
What I liked about this movie was how Gunn took characters that are so goofy in premise (Polka Dot Man and Ratcatcher II) and really humanized them and made them enjoyable characters
Have you not read any Batman or DC comics? Ratcatcher has an arc in No mans Land that is worth checking out. They're never any more goofy than a rich kid in a bat suit.
@@watertommyz but it's important to note how Gunn humanizes these characters, as the typical formula for "superhero" movies doesn't always pay much attention to those elements and leaves them feeling more hollow and you don't care as much about the characters.
@@MNewton no need for the sarcasm dude. Of course any movie needs strong screenwriting that allows the film’s characters to be fully realized, I’m just talking more about how the original concept for characters like Polka Dot Man, for example, is pretty lame in design but Gunn’s writing at least gave them an arc when he didn’t need to. David Ayer’s film, for the most part, was devoid of that for the smaller characters on the team, and that movie suffered because of it.
This movie was hilarious! Thought Margot Robbie absolutely crushed it & that “escape scene” with her was probably my favourite part of the entire thing.
Gotta give props to Disney for firing James Gunn for a while so WB could snag him for their DC projects. Now guy’s working for both companies and making both fandoms happy
Had low expectations going in. I was pleasantly surprised. Loved it. Really solid performances. Elba crushed it. Even Cena did a great job. The fire and cgi were on point. The soundtrack was amazing and most of the jokes landed. All in all it was one of the most enjoyable movies I’ve seen in awhile.
What can i say? James Gunn just made one of THE best DC movies ever. He managed to pull together a pretty large cast of characters. And he really went in deep. Like, he really explored what makes them tick. And he did a great job at fleshing out the characters in the start. And by the end i gave a damn about every single character. Far more than in the first. I think James Gunn had a fucking blast making this film. And i had a blast watching it. Like... Jesus. I don't know what else to say. The rest is spoilery as hell. Go watch it!
I actually totally forgot Flag was in the first movie until Harley mentioned how close they were after he died, lol. That's how forgettable his character was in the first movie. Glad they gave him an actual personality and gave him some fun dialogue. Because I cant remember a single thing he even did in the first film.
what do you mean one of? its is the best dceu movie hands down. every character was allowed to show their personality, the movie is hilarious without sacrificing how brutal it is, hell even starro got more personality and drama than the rest of the dceu movies combined. the conflict and bonding between characters was miles ahead of anything else the universe tried to do.
I was very confident this movie would be perfect for James Gunn. He did the same thing with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Take some pretty unknown and wacky looking characters that no one really knows about and make a fantastic film where they have good chemistry and the audience has fun. He’s 3-0 with these movies by now. Can’t wait to see this one and GotG vol.3.
I like the movie but it seemed a little disjointed at times. But we did get to see a faithful adaptation of Harley Quinn to the big screen, so that’s always a win.
It’s makes sense that the director of Guardians of the Galaxy was given this movie. A ragtag team of quirky criminals from a very obscure comic book source who try to be good guys and become family.
I'd say this movie suits him even better than the Guardians considering he have some pretty vulgar taste for humor and it fits right in with the tone of this movie with the leading roles being despicable villains and the R rating.
TDK displaying his amazing abilities had me rolling on the floor,just the most ridiculous thing.😂 Although,if you did have that power,thats probably how it go.
@@michelmema8587 I’m super feminist and I can’t stand all the girl power shit in movies. It’s so pathetically done and condescending. I think people on both side of the fence are sick of it. Hopefully they stop the madness.
"Even if he's in a shit movie, Idris Elba is still great in a shit movie" - I would say Cats 2019 begs to differ, but then again nothing was good about that movie.
And that Rat living at the end was Gunn's finger at the cancel culture for cancelling him. Seriously, why else would he let the character that killed 43 or whatever children, come back to life at the end of the movie? He wanted to trigger them again but he's untouchable now. He can go back to his crude sense of humor involving kids. I don't get that or the whole anti-America bs, that's going to make the rest of the world go wtf or get cheers from China and other socialist countries. I found the movie predictable af in almost every scene. The overly gratuitous violence and how he changed pr killed every character from the last movie except for Harley was also a statement. I never thought he should have been cancelled, and still don't, but this movie, as good as the fx scenes, really sucked. Like who knew Harley could jump straight up about 10-15 feet and these nano-tech scenes that kinda started with Starlord's character then Ironman and now Deadshot weapon is such a Hollywood short cut in every scene like how much a world would change with that kind of tech around, yet he breaks the bullet proof helmet crashing into a wall without even a cut? I mean seriously, this guy sometimes writes a scene like a 12 year old fantasizing. I could on and on about this movie I was so looking forward to seeing and I'm sorry, it felt ugly and juvenile trying to joke in every scene and again with Harleys scene screwing that guy and killing him about what he said about killing children, yet she didn't mind the child killing weasel? Also, what was the point about the big guy with glasses looking up at Waller, everytime someone mentions harm to children, but never ends up doing anything until someone else knocks her out. She killed them all in the last movie but let these live and get herself bribed to free the squad, who won't let the world hear the truth they just risked their lives for and Harley Quinn was the moral one against not using it? Yeah right, like she would give a hell, either way. If she really cared enough to kill a guy she just loved to bang, yet not release the info that her friend died trying to break the rules to do what's right, yet they use it to go free as if he somehow got that hard drive info to someone to secretly hold it right after the battle in s small country that just got torn up and murdered by a giant starfish from a SpongeBob movie. I don't get how so many people rave about this cartoon bs movie. He must have not had alot of control over how Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2 was written except for the great song choices. I just now watched it and I have no desire to ever it again. If he comes back to Marvel, I hope they keep whatever control they had in making another Guardians movie. Just tell a cool story and keep political and cultural messages out of it. So yaah, the cute, hairy weasel that nobody ever heard of killed or ate almost 50 kids lived and is free now, what a cool end scene. I bet y'all are excited about him catching whatever kids that survived their town massacre, woo hoo, YEAH, you tell them Gunn, it's ok to make the sickest jokes.
When Bloodsport was givin out instructions on attackin Starro, it was so reminiscent to Captain America in Avengers for defeating Loki's army. Shit was sooo dope. Anyone else get that feeling?
Loved the movie. Loved how it embraced villains as being not great people and doing bad things. I actually snort/laughed out loud a few times during this movie. 4/5 for me.
I think there were a lot of things about the movie that were high quality. CGI was good, action sequences were impressive, good to at least decent performances, etc. Though a lot of the jokes just didn't land for me and I'm still even now still figuring out if I liked it or not. Personally, I think this movie is better enjoyed with a group of people...that way when whacky stuff happens you can all look at each other and ask "what the heck is going on here?" 😂😂. Also one thing that sort of bugged me is that this movie sort of jumps from genre to genre a couple of times before the final act. It's not incredibly jarring or anything but it does sort of throw you off a tad. Also, some of the characters that they chose to bite the dust really bugged me
And that whole ending? Like how does harleys ONE spear get through his eye but all those bullets don’t? And I hated that polka dot man died for no reason like WTF
@@blackRXrider no if anything it would be worse. People are already pissed about The fake Mandarin, the death of the warriors three, the gender swapped taskmaster. Shit like that. Marvel doesn't always get a pass.
@@spacekook3315 The spear didn't go through his eye she just jumped through it since it was made of water. Bullets being shot at water won't do nun. Also it's like a magic spear lol.
i agree w/u when u say 'it's a movie better enjoyed w a group'. i watched it alone & the whole time i was thinking - my friends should be here. BUT not because i thought the movie was great or anything. Overall i'd give it a C+. Not exactly what i'd call a 'good' movie, but certainly above average & entertaining enough. To me this flick felt like almost two films in one - 1st) a more fun reboot of the 2016 SS. 2nd) kind of felt like Guardians of the Galaxy 2 & a half(i can't b the only 1 out there who sorta feels like certain ideas in this movie were just things Gunn decided he wasn't going to use in GotGv3 - right?). There was also some some writing that left me puzzled - like when Black Guard sells out the team... wouldn't Waller just blow his head off? However, i really don't wanna bash on this film because i thought it really did have some heart. The casting was great. I felt that the core SS team members who were in most of the movie were endearing. I thought Elba & Cena played well off each other. Robbie was spot on as Harley again. the running gag w Polka Dot Man & his mom was fun. Rick Flagg was way more likeable this time around. The breakout characters IMO were for sure King Shark(towards the end of the movie i really was starting to worry that he was going to be killed) & also Rat Catcher 2 provided a welcomed innocent charm. And i'll say that my favorite line in the movie was - "There's a freakin kaiju in this bitch!!!". What did u guys think?
Jeremy still haunted by the review of the last one it's so funny, specially cause we’re not him... I knew he was gonna mention it at some point, we all did, and that's what we’re here for.
@@reubensalter8125 yeah I agree In my case I’m just taking a piss of him, but I love my boy Jeremy that’s why I stuck around, I also liked bad films that people hated I just don’t have over a million people stalking me that’s all
@@Zaacdrums Agreed. But you know what? In a weird, twisted way, I'm glad they saved Peacemaker. He's DEFINITELY a douche though. And unless he apologizes for killing Rick Flagg, and for pointing a gun at an innocent young girl, he'll always be a douche, and a joke, if he doesn't do those things. He can be redeemed, despite what he did, but until then, he's still a joke.And the funny thing is, I still like John Cena. Always have. Ever since he debuted as a wrestler back in 2002.
Everyone's talking about Bloodsport or Ratcatcher 2, but my heart went out to Nanaue and Starro. Nanue who was treated as a nuisance until they needed his muscle, and Starro whom was kept in captivity and his final line in the movie. But bringing up Starro.. they basically opened the door for Jarro. Love to see where they take him, if they go down that route~
@@Hellohumanspodcast She did, but her being that big was part of what made her awesome. Yes, she looked like a ghetto Wal-Mart land whale stuffed into a suit…and she was the scariest person you could ever meet that wasn’t Darkseid. She had an aura of command even looking like she did.
I appreciate that you own your past reviews and take it in stride. I’ve been watching you since your Scott Pilgrim review in 2010 and I saw that bad boy five times in the theater.
I was shocked at how much I liked Rick Flag in the movie as he was one of the worst characters in the first one. Joel Kinnaman gave a terrific performance and James Gunn wrote the character in a great new way that gave him way more freedom with it.
@Why So Snappy ??? SPOILERS I actually hope they don’t bring Rick Flag back cause his death was one of my favourite scenes and I was genuinely gutted. It also perfectly demonstrates Peacemaker’s hypocrisy and twisted ideals of patriotism. I’m okay with Peacemaker coming back cause they only scraped the surface of his potential but if they brought Flag back it’d take away from his awesome death.
Loved Rick Flagg. The big revelation and turning point in his arc and his interactions and Rift with a specific character was perfect. My favourite part of the film
I loved that for a violent movie it wasn’t too violent, it didn’t take every single chance it had to be violent. The best thing about it by far is that every choice that made throughout the movie by the filmmaker is the right choice. James Gunn really knows what he’s doing, not only with the content, but he knows exactly when to have comedy, when to have heart, when to have an action scene, how to have tension build between characters, how to use the budget and in what shots to blow money lol he reignited a spark for me to get re-invested in the dc universe or at least have hope for the future lol the writing for this is impeccable. Everyone had enough screen time. The cast was really good. The plot was insanely cool. Everything about it works.
The compositing in this movie was absolutely insane. Something about the color palate and environments really grounded the whole thing. King Shark was so weighty and physical, and tbh the climax with Starro could give Legendary a run for their money
@@Fiveash-Art ah yes *"Generic"* . The lazy man's way of saying "I dont like the thing but am too lazy to come up with a reason." Do you not like the washed out color? Is it the direction? Is it the character design? If you're gonna pop up in my notifications you gotta give me *something*
@@RTDice11 A lazy man's comment for a lazy man's movie ... If you're pretending this movie had style .. you're a complete moron.

I agree with she is such a great character I mean after she comes off as an uneducated millennial because she doesn’t what an overhead projector is, she quickly becomes the heart of the film
Daniela Melchior and her character was truly the heart of this movie. She was the one character who I wanted to survive the most. It was an amazing breakout role for her and I hope to see the actress in more things.
@@Domination1799 same I’m honestly surprised how much I grew attracted to her I found her cringe at first knowing James’ writing style that was probably the point and with her backstory she wouldn’t know what an overhead projector his! I agree Daniela gave one hell of performance one that is on par with seasoned Oscar winniners
@@anthonylesley982 What I found very impressive from Daniela’s performance is the fact that she managed to never stick out as the weak link when on screen with high caliber actors such as Idris Elba and Margot Robbie. That’s an incredible achievement as a first time actress.
The dark moments with HQ were the best, I would LOVE a single take on a movie with her like Joker was. Just a dark psychological thriller or drama. It would be GREAT.
The scene Jeremy was alluding to is great. It is just serious enough to show that she is def not having a great time (in that moment), but is very entertaining in how it presents the character beats.
I'm with you 100% on the VFX. So many DCEU movies have fallen short yet everytime King Shark was on screen I marveled at the texture, lighting, and subtler animations of the body as he moved.
I was afraid that James Gunn was gonna get overexcited with this movie the same way he did with "Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2" I'm glad that he not only fixed the mistakes of the first SS, but was also able to bring some new things to the table, without making this movie look like another rip-off
They tried to imitate his GOTG in the first SS movie and failed, so they decided to bring him in person for the sequel/reboot or whatever this thing is
Bloodsport is so unimportant in the comics. Dump power too. But with how they revamped his skills into a sexy tech suit with modular weaponry, I hope this might push him to be more prominent in the comics.
How the hell did blackgaurd contact the country's army whilst inside supermax prison? Then expect to be saved with a detonator still in his head? Other than that I enjoyed the movie.
@@15Candles Giving directors more creative control doesn’t mean they can make quality films they gave Patty Jenkins full creative freedom in her Wonder Woman 1984 and look what happened to that movie it was bad.And we dont act like Ayer and Gunn has the same talent it’s clearly that James Gunn is a better director than Ayer ever was
Hahah when Jeremy said that the violence reminds him of mortal kombat fatalities, I cracked up cos I literally said that to myself in the cinema. Like minds think alike. Enjoyed the movie, and good review Mr Jahns
Honestly, I don't care what Jeremy rates a movie, I'm here just to watch his mannerisms and listen to one liners and quips! This guy is just as entertaining as the films he reviews!
Agreed. I think Henry Cavill is pretty much done unless they can apologise and bring him back. *They have a goldmine of characters* but all we getting is Harley Quinn spin-offs and Batman Spin-offs
@Anoneemus Noename Pewdiepie doesn't even do that anymore and I also highly doubt that's the reason Jeremy stopped doing it. For one they're really not that similar and Jeremy probably can't care less what Pewdiepie's sign off is.
@Anoneemus Noename PewDiePie also watches Jeremy Jahns, congratulated him after 1 million subscribers and also had one of Jeremy's videos saved in his playlist.
WB needs to lean into the fact that they can corner the market on R rated superhero movies. They have the perfect cast of characters for it, plus it would allow them to stand apart from the MCU and offer audiences something different.
exactly
It will also allow to be nowhere near as big as the MCU. You will never capture MCU style box office returns with a movie that kids are not allowed to watch. Even if a R rated movie makes a billlion it would have still made more if it were available to a wider audience.
@@kityhawk2000 f*ck the kids that's the problem with MCU Movies they playing with boundaries they catering money over creating coherent story I see why edgar wright and Scott Derrickson leave oversaturated with jokes in every 10 mins no wonder majority fan favorite movie captain America winter soldier is great because it has less jokes with it don't get me wrong I'm a MCU fan but it's starting to get stale and cringy when every jokes starts shoving in our throats (Black Widow) thank god Disney+ MCU series is different to the MCU latest MCU Movies more serious and technically surprisingly good

It’s amazing what can be accomplished when you give the filmmakers more than six weeks to write the screenplay
And also NOT INTERFERE AND MICROMANAGE THEIR WORK.
And not being interfered by the studio
Certainly the truth
It’s more amazing what can be accomplished when you actually hired a quality filmmaker.
That's a misconception...It's not like he was forced to it in six weeks...When writing a contract writers are given an estimation to complete the writing...So David had an choice to walk off but he didnt
I miss Milton, he effortlessly made us care.
Milton made it tho. Didn't you pay atention? He even became friends with the rat at the end.
Who's MILTON 🤔😂
Love that this isn’t even a spoiler cause no one knows his name till he’s dead
Milton brought alot more to the table than the first team,he's an honorary squad member.
I'm glad Polkadot Man chose to remember Milton and his contributions. Lol
I love how Gunn reformated the typical "crew assembly" scene in the beginning by killing off the extras and THEN providing us with the main cast
Defos a nod to the first Mission Impossible there...
Wouldve preferred if we got to know them a bit and they died at the end of act one. Billing actors AFTER you never will see them again also annoys the shit outta me. And there one death there thats unnecessary. Although TDK blowing everyones mind easily makes up for my complaints.
I haven’t seen this movie yet but didn’t they do something similar in Deadpool 2? Or do I jus need to watch the movie lol
@@midnightjay1343 Yes,they did. That team was called X force and this one Task force x. Incredible creativity there.

Imagine having a character that controls rats, putting her in a movie with names like Idris Elba and Margot Robbie, with some major charisma and personalities in the mix and STILL create the most stand out character.
Adored her character and the actress' work in it.
Yup! And, not to take away from that clearly talented actress, but one of the main reasons she was cast as Ratcatcher 2 is because she was comfortable around rats irl
It's a trash character
@@spongebobroundpants4378 do you think? Ah, well, I liked her character. 🤷♂️
@@spongebobroundpants4378 Go read some damn Batman comics. Even Joker has crappy stories.
Actually, I would say she was the weakest of the main cast of important characters. Heck, she didn't even feel like she was in the movie much, it was almost like she was written in at the last second she was gone for most of the movie, and even when she returned she only had some small romance subplot with some dude for a few minutes lol until the climax. I was actually surprised at how little of importance she was, honestly if she was left out the movie would have run smoother.
James Gunn surely added a lot of depth to the main characters than the first movie. I even felt sympathy to Starro at the end.
Starro just wanted to look at the stars
yes, that one line in the end.....I felt sad for Starro for a fleeting second
Yeah and he literally gets thousands of rats inside of his eye.
I mean, why wouldn't we. He was kidnapped, tortured and experimented on for 3 decades. It's totally understandable he'd go on a rampage, he doesn't know or care who's innocent and who's guilty for his imprisonment.
Man starro didn't deserve it. My man was just vibing in the space. Fuckin humans ruined it.

The line at the end when starro said " I was happy just floating in the sky staring at the stars" got to me. I genuinely felt bad for him after finding out he was tortured by the U.S. government for 30 years so they could create some kind of alien technology. Who could blame the guy for being pissed off?

Dev Patel and Alicia Vikander were amazing the cinematography was amazing. It's a great piece of art but amputating the story made it all lipstick on a pig.
It's almost like there's a global pandemic going on, simpleton
Let’s just say what it is. James Gunn knows The dynamic of the characters he’s working with and is really good about putting a lot of characters on screen.
we need a reboot starting with this movie man
Yep. He gave a crap about filmmaking, unknown CB characters and cared for the actors...It wasn't "Here, Joker, Will Smith and Margot robbie are hot. have some good music. Enough"
Fun fact:
The live action Scooby-Doo movie which came out at 2002 starring Freedie Prince Jr as Fred and his real life wife Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne, Matthew Lillard as Shaggy and the actress who played as Hawkeye's wife as Velma was written by James Gunn (as one of the writers at that time). I guess he likes to be involved in the movie with a group of lovable characters.
He and the Russo brothers were the reasons MCU was enjoyable.
When will he make a goood movie
Best part. I literally cried laughing in the theater. Peacekeeper: "I've got a clear shot on the only one in the building." Shows a housekeeper with virtually no threat xD John Cena found his character.

@@jesusolguin5896 Completely agree. Also, don't forget an additional R.I.P. for the javelin guy, Captain Boomerang, and the orange alien lady. Not sure if T.D.K. is dead yet, he could be. God, why did Peacemaker have to turn out to be such a douche? Things were going well, everyone was looking alright, but no, Peacemaker has to ruin it. And his character wasn't even that much of a jerk earlier, just comic relief before. Sure, the fight between him and Rick was a good scene, but it didn't have to end like that, did it? Oddly enough, I'm kind of glad Peacemaker survived, even if he's a douche. But he should definitely apologize to the team, and ESPECIALLY to Ratcatcher 2. And until he does, he'll always be a joke and a douche. Beacon of freedom, my ass! Seriously. What kind of supposed "hero" points his gun at a young girl? After Col. Flag explained that they were experimenting on kids, Peacemaker should've put the damn gun down, and started helping Flag and the others STOP the giant kaiju starfish! Seriously! I'd think a massive killer space starfish would be MORE IMPORTANT THAN A STUPID flash drive!!! Glad Bloodsport shot him. Peacemaker is damn lucky he didn't get killed. And the funny thing is, I'm actually a HUGE fan of John Cena, as a wrestler and actor. But he's not above criticism. Nobody is. But despite that, I love this movie, and I hope to see all of these characters again sometime, but in another good movie, as long as they're not being brutally murdered, that is.

That’s actually very brilliant, The audience has no pre conceived expectation for any of these characters so yeah you’re right

Y'know for me the best part is when waller crew hit her when she's going mad. Showed they are people not just puppet blindly following order. Not many movie did this and this is the best DC IMO
This movie also had a plot twist as well which made the movie even better.
Honestly, I didn't like Amanda Waller actor in the first movie at all. I never bought her as intimidating, it was an obvious act. In this movie she was far more believable, tho I wouldn't go as far as say its perfect casting. But we dont have actor who could portray Waller very well, at least I cant think of one. Cena was great though, I totally bought him and his motivation, its a villain who really believes that he is a hero in his story, great performance and writing. This movie was great, during first act I was stunned how much I was loving this, second act drops off and it lowers my initial 10/10, but third act picks it up again. But at the moment we got Kaiju attack, I really was wondering where the F is Superman at this point, though Snyders Superman probably a fan of mass destruction and murder (yes, I am still salty over Snyders fuck ups...)
Best DC in a decade for sure. Tim Burton’s movies were incredible.
Agreed, Viola Davis was as close to perfect as could be for the character.
@@X-Kong The bit about US involvement?
We've come to the point in comic book movies where a giant blue and pink starfish is the main antagonist of a film and everyone is on board with the idea and accepts it. I like that.
Not really, Peacemaker is the antagonist. Starro is just a captured alien.
We're just going back in time. Giant gorilla anyone? big dinosaur? Marvel proved you don't need an interesting villian to make a movie, (but it helps) you just need interesting characters.

Starro is one of the goofiest villains ever and they made him scary as he should be. This film was stupid insane. Loved it!
I love this movie, my favorite superhero movie so far of all time
i have said this a few times before, starro is a mythos esque treat, and if well written, it could have the same horror as Cuthulhu or Dagon for example. its just that people look at it and see a dumb giant starfish.
My brother looked at me when Harley was in Starro’s eye and the rats were coming in like “imagine walking into the theater right here, with no context.” This movie was so insane. I loved it
I was confused that the bullets bounced off the starfish's eye when the army tried to shoot it but the javeling just pierced it, I mean I love the movie but that was inconsistent
Amaan khan the javelin was supposed to be THE weapon of choice for someone in a super powered squad. I just assumed it had some special properties that make it different from bullets. Not to mention how sharp it could be as something to add. It’s possible that it is a small plot hole , but I think it’s the symbolism of the javelin that kinda works for me when thinking of how THAT pierced the eye when other weapons couldn’t. Like how before they began fighting Starro, Harley goes “I found the reason why I have this javelin” or something of the like. It wasn’t particularly the physical properties of the javelin that defeated Starro, but the symbolism it represented that defeated him. I don’t think that’s overthinking it. It feels pretty intentional. Feel free to tell me I am over analyzing if you think so.

This movie was actually funny, heart felt, and had a cohesive plot.
My only question for DC is where do they go from here? What’s the overall goal? Do they keep throwing random movies out and just wait to see which ones fans like or do they have a real story they’re trying to tell.
They spoke about it awhile back, they're focusing on stand alone stories going forward. There isn't a overarching plot leading into anything. They are gonna world build still within each film, so characters can crossover or spin off into other films but the stories will be self contained. And there still will be cross over films like The Flash.
But this imo is for the best this is what will make them stand apart from MCU. Marvel focuses on interconnected stories between there films to tell a bigger plot, while DC will instead just tell do their own event movies within a stand alone narrative.
I like that they are not rushing it
They are trying to tell the story of "movie franchise makes lots of money". Don't overthink it...
@@myfavedits71 not rushing what?? there's nothing to rush. Every DC movie is in it's own self contained world.

This is what happens when you let a real director direct a movie. James Gunn just showed how to make great female characters who do great things without having to make all the male characters incompetent or blatantly evil with a hatred for women. This was a fantastic movie.
He proves great directors aren't gone.
I noticed that, Ratchacher 2 and Harley had great moments, Amanda Waller was badass, the leader of the freedom fighters was a woman and there were even women soldiers on the side of the military, a lot of good female roles done right without any rants or shoving in our face how men are bad.
Directors are almost never bad. 95% of the time its the studio messing with it until its a mess.
Under Disney they would've given themselves so many pat on the backs and would want you to make sure you know how feminist they are. 😂 It's funny that this film does a better job with female characters than all of their intentional efforts. The female characters also dont have to pretend to act like men to be considered powerful and 'feminist". They'are all their own fun characters, are allowed to be vunerable, fun, serious, and have any emotion they want, because that's how people are in real life. And Disney still doesn't get that with their female heroines.
You notice how the woman director of Birds of Prey's main focus for Harley was to beat men she had to kick all their balls and always go for the nuts. In this Harley held her own with skills and i dont think she had to kick or hit one guy in the nuts to decimate the soldiers. She's just a badass! That Birds of Prey movie is Femanazie bullshit!

@@ankitsaikumar6866 I don't think he molested kids, I think he just ate them.

I thought this movie was like a sequal to the first movie. Because as soon as Rick, Boomerang and Harley met up in this movie, they were smiling! It was a sense of cameraderie. They were already friends and they were enjoying each other's company. They already went on a big journey together and now they're onto the next. I like that. Kinda heartfelt
Yep all the cast and James Gunn kept saying this is neither a sequel or a reboot but IT is a sequel just a standalone one
It is definitely a sequel
Gunn is really good at ensemble flicks.

Favorite moment by far was Peacemakers introduction, the doubling down on the practical "Kill things extremely efficiently" skillset was hilarious.
He likes using unknown characters cause he can change everything about them instead of trying to depict a somewhat faithful accurate depiction. Guardians being a good example
I like the way he thinks. Using unknowns gives you more creative freedom
Honestly smart move James Gunn is definitely top 5 smartest directors of all time I wish he can fix the transformers franchise bumblebee was cool one of my faves but he’d definitely turn around the bay verse nonsense i liked tf1 and tf3 tho
And no pressure to mess up, unlike with the huge responsibility with characters like spider-man. Also for the audience its easier to get hooked because what you see is what's first for most. So nothing to compare
Indeed, many people forget that marvel kinda did the same, Iron man was and never would be a fan favorite character if not for the mcu
@@JJJameson. 100% agree. Since then, hes always front n center, hes reference in almost everything. Hes in like every comic. He's on articles that have nothing to do with him for clicks.
Even the Rat had character development and characterization. Freaking Sebastian, I loved that character.
It just goes to show it doesn't matter how many characters your film has, or how goofy or obscure the characters are, if studios actually cared to hire capable screenwriters who care, that's all you need. No comic property is off limits, you just need quality writers and director's who have passion for this stuff.
Really hoping the Batgirl movie gets a good team behind it.
He was such a sweet boy and just wanted to share a pretty leaf!
The team doesn't really matter. Unless you're big/famous enough, studio executives will always think they know best and edit the movie into oblivion. James Gunn made billions in the box office with GotG 1&2, Zack Snyder did not. Which one did WB give full creative control?
I don’t know, they already race-swapped Barbara in the casting, so my hopes are extremely low.
@@thekidfromcanada I get that but that doesn't really apply to my point.
My point was for these films to succeed in quality you need capable filmmakers, not just capable, because Ang Lee and Martin Campbell are capable filmmakers, but you need capable filmmakers who actually understand the comics and their appeal to make a good film.
Everything else you said is almost an entirety different topic.
But appreciate the reply :) have a good one stranger.
@@thundergodcid960 I can understand not liking the casting, but how does having a different race play a character affect the quality of the film to make you concerned to have low hope? Tons of films have done race swapping and have been hits and critically acclaimed by fans and critics alike. Again I can understand not liking a particular casting but to say the film has low hopes just because of that almost sounds a bit.... Not gonna jump to conclusions, hope you reply and elaborate further. :)
That scene near the end with ratcatchers 2's final flashback actually made me tear up, as it's such a good analogy for what the suicide squads members are. there's only big mistake imo, its that they shouldn't have played off you know who's death for a laugh In the final battle, maybe an extended edition would fix that, I feel maybe a few minor edits would make it work better without having to do reshoots.
Made me tear up too, bro
It's Milton, isn't it? Poor fool never stood a chance.
@@snatcher8517 to be honest I was with Harley Quinn where I didn't even notice Milton, like I knew he was there, but didn't expect them to be a character. Polkadot man is who I meant
@@grodcoyote6635 I didn’t think his death was funny, or was intended to. I think it was meant to show that no one was safe
@@captenmurica8843 Yeah, agreed. unfortunately if no one died during the Starro fight it wouldn't have felt very intimidating. They had to pull out something, and Polka-dot man was the most expendable
This was a great DC movie, violent, funny, gory. It felt like an actual comic book movie. King shark and polka dot man were my favourite characters, Starro was hilarious and terrifying also 😂
"In a world where the ninja turtles and batman have crossed paths, in my headcanon she is the daughter of the rat king."
not the strangest headcanon i've heard of. Trust.
What I liked about this movie was how Gunn took characters that are so goofy in premise (Polka Dot Man and Ratcatcher II) and really humanized them and made them enjoyable characters
Have you not read any Batman or DC comics? Ratcatcher has an arc in No mans Land that is worth checking out.
They're never any more goofy than a rich kid in a bat suit.
@@watertommyz but it's important to note how Gunn humanizes these characters, as the typical formula for "superhero" movies doesn't always pay much attention to those elements and leaves them feeling more hollow and you don't care as much about the characters.
These two were probably the best part of the movie in general.
It's almost like making strong characters in a movie is a good thing. You'd think it would happen more.
@@MNewton no need for the sarcasm dude. Of course any movie needs strong screenwriting that allows the film’s characters to be fully realized, I’m just talking more about how the original concept for characters like Polka Dot Man, for example, is pretty lame in design but Gunn’s writing at least gave them an arc when he didn’t need to. David Ayer’s film, for the most part, was devoid of that for the smaller characters on the team, and that movie suffered because of it.
Imagine getting swarmed by trillions of ants and those ants managed to get inside you and start to eat you inside out. Yeah... *shudders*
This movie was hilarious! Thought Margot Robbie absolutely crushed it & that “escape scene” with her was probably my favourite part of the entire thing.
Gotta give props to Disney for firing James Gunn for a while so WB could snag him for their DC projects. Now guy’s working for both companies and making both fandoms happy
I wonder if DC will cast Scarlett Johansson and Dave Bautisa at this point too.
@@1LIFEtoWIN Dave already campaigned himself to play Bane but WB didn’t budge so maybe he’ll find another role
I seriously believe that Gunn can pull off a DC Marvel crossover. That would be badass.
@@rhetiq9989 dave wud be perfect as bane
gunn said he is done with marvel after gotg 3
Had low expectations going in. I was pleasantly surprised. Loved it. Really solid performances. Elba crushed it. Even Cena did a great job. The fire and cgi were on point. The soundtrack was amazing and most of the jokes landed. All in all it was one of the most enjoyable movies I’ve seen in awhile.
What can i say? James Gunn just made one of THE best DC movies ever. He managed to pull together a pretty large cast of characters. And he really went in deep. Like, he really explored what makes them tick. And he did a great job at fleshing out the characters in the start. And by the end i gave a damn about every single character. Far more than in the first. I think James Gunn had a fucking blast making this film. And i had a blast watching it. Like... Jesus. I don't know what else to say. The rest is spoilery as hell. Go watch it!
I actually totally forgot Flag was in the first movie until Harley mentioned how close they were after he died, lol. That's how forgettable his character was in the first movie. Glad they gave him an actual personality and gave him some fun dialogue. Because I cant remember a single thing he even did in the first film.
That creativity for you.
what do you mean one of? its is the best dceu movie hands down. every character was allowed to show their personality, the movie is hilarious without sacrificing how brutal it is, hell even starro got more personality and drama than the rest of the dceu movies combined. the conflict and bonding between characters was miles ahead of anything else the universe tried to do.
I was very confident this movie would be perfect for James Gunn. He did the same thing with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Take some pretty unknown and wacky looking characters that no one really knows about and make a fantastic film where they have good chemistry and the audience has fun. He’s 3-0 with these movies by now. Can’t wait to see this one and GotG vol.3.
That guy who can climb anything
And GotG Christmas
I thought GotG 2 was mediocre
I like the movie but it seemed a little disjointed at times. But we did get to see a faithful adaptation of Harley Quinn to the big screen, so that’s always a win.
I heard he didn't direct that one and they got him back on board for GOTG 3
It’s makes sense that the director of Guardians of the Galaxy was given this movie. A ragtag team of quirky criminals from a very obscure comic book source who try to be good guys and become family.
I'd say this movie suits him even better than the Guardians considering he have some pretty vulgar taste for humor and it fits right in with the tone of this movie with the leading roles being despicable villains and the R rating.
did you just say... FAMILY

"That monster is nomnom" is this movie's version of "Hulk smash" and I love it!

- I would say Cats 2019 begs to differ, but then again nothing was good about that movie.
I can't believe Marvel let James Gunn Cast the Same Rat from Endgame LOL
Loved Sebastian.
In Endgame it was a mouse, because Disney is the Mouse House. It was not a rat.
@@NiPeMiRecenziiFilme it was a rat in endgame look it up
And that Rat living at the end was Gunn's finger at the cancel culture for cancelling him. Seriously, why else would he let the character that killed 43 or whatever children, come back to life at the end of the movie? He wanted to trigger them again but he's untouchable now. He can go back to his crude sense of humor involving kids. I don't get that or the whole anti-America bs, that's going to make the rest of the world go wtf or get cheers from China and other socialist countries. I found the movie predictable af in almost every scene. The overly gratuitous violence and how he changed pr killed every character from the last movie except for Harley was also a statement. I never thought he should have been cancelled, and still don't, but this movie, as good as the fx scenes, really sucked. Like who knew Harley could jump straight up about 10-15 feet and these nano-tech scenes that kinda started with Starlord's character then Ironman and now Deadshot weapon is such a Hollywood short cut in every scene like how much a world would change with that kind of tech around, yet he breaks the bullet proof helmet crashing into a wall without even a cut? I mean seriously, this guy sometimes writes a scene like a 12 year old fantasizing. I could on and on about this movie I was so looking forward to seeing and I'm sorry, it felt ugly and juvenile trying to joke in every scene and again with Harleys scene screwing that guy and killing him about what he said about killing children, yet she didn't mind the child killing weasel? Also, what was the point about the big guy with glasses looking up at Waller, everytime someone mentions harm to children, but never ends up doing anything until someone else knocks her out. She killed them all in the last movie but let these live and get herself bribed to free the squad, who won't let the world hear the truth they just risked their lives for and Harley Quinn was the moral one against not using it? Yeah right, like she would give a hell, either way. If she really cared enough to kill a guy she just loved to bang, yet not release the info that her friend died trying to break the rules to do what's right, yet they use it to go free as if he somehow got that hard drive info to someone to secretly hold it right after the battle in s small country that just got torn up and murdered by a giant starfish from a SpongeBob movie. I don't get how so many people rave about this cartoon bs movie. He must have not had alot of control over how Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2 was written except for the great song choices. I just now watched it and I have no desire to ever it again. If he comes back to Marvel, I hope they keep whatever control they had in making another Guardians movie. Just tell a cool story and keep political and cultural messages out of it. So yaah, the cute, hairy weasel that nobody ever heard of killed or ate almost 50 kids lived and is free now, what a cool end scene. I bet y'all are excited about him catching whatever kids that survived their town massacre, woo hoo, YEAH, you tell them Gunn, it's ok to make the sickest jokes.
When Bloodsport was givin out instructions on attackin Starro, it was so reminiscent to Captain America in Avengers for defeating Loki's army. Shit was sooo dope. Anyone else get that feeling?
Hilarious scene " Your mom".
Waller did say she would make a leader out of him
Imagine explaining that scene to someone
No
No, but after you mentioned it, kinda reminds me of the scene.
Loved the movie. Loved how it embraced villains as being not great people and doing bad things. I actually snort/laughed out loud a few times during this movie. 4/5 for me.
I think there were a lot of things about the movie that were high quality. CGI was good, action sequences were impressive, good to at least decent performances, etc. Though a lot of the jokes just didn't land for me and I'm still even now still figuring out if I liked it or not. Personally, I think this movie is better enjoyed with a group of people...that way when whacky stuff happens you can all look at each other and ask "what the heck is going on here?" 😂😂. Also one thing that sort of bugged me is that this movie sort of jumps from genre to genre a couple of times before the final act. It's not incredibly jarring or anything but it does sort of throw you off a tad. Also, some of the characters that they chose to bite the dust really bugged me
And that whole ending? Like how does harleys ONE spear get through his eye but all those bullets don’t? And I hated that polka dot man died for no reason like WTF
But if all those things you didn't like were in a marvel film you'd give it a pass.
@@blackRXrider no if anything it would be worse. People are already pissed about The fake Mandarin, the death of the warriors three, the gender swapped taskmaster. Shit like that. Marvel doesn't always get a pass.
@@spacekook3315 The spear didn't go through his eye she just jumped through it since it was made of water. Bullets being shot at water won't do nun. Also it's like a magic spear lol.
i agree w/u when u say 'it's a movie better enjoyed w a group'. i watched it alone & the whole time i was thinking - my friends should be here. BUT not because i thought the movie was great or anything. Overall i'd give it a C+. Not exactly what i'd call a 'good' movie, but certainly above average & entertaining enough. To me this flick felt like almost two films in one - 1st) a more fun reboot of the 2016 SS. 2nd) kind of felt like Guardians of the Galaxy 2 & a half(i can't b the only 1 out there who sorta feels like certain ideas in this movie were just things Gunn decided he wasn't going to use in GotGv3 - right?). There was also some some writing that left me puzzled - like when Black Guard sells out the team... wouldn't Waller just blow his head off? However, i really don't wanna bash on this film because i thought it really did have some heart. The casting was great. I felt that the core SS team members who were in most of the movie were endearing. I thought Elba & Cena played well off each other. Robbie was spot on as Harley again. the running gag w Polka Dot Man & his mom was fun. Rick Flagg was way more likeable this time around. The breakout characters IMO were for sure King Shark(towards the end of the movie i really was starting to worry that he was going to be killed) & also Rat Catcher 2 provided a welcomed innocent charm. And i'll say that my favorite line in the movie was - "There's a freakin kaiju in this bitch!!!". What did u guys think?
Jeremy still haunted by the review of the last one it's so funny, specially cause we’re not him... I knew he was gonna mention it at some point, we all did, and that's what we’re here for.

The real joke was Peacemaker.
@@GinsuSher “Peacemaker… What a joke” - Rick Flag
@@Zaacdrums Agreed. But you know what? In a weird, twisted way, I'm glad they saved Peacemaker. He's DEFINITELY a douche though. And unless he apologizes for killing Rick Flagg, and for pointing a gun at an innocent young girl, he'll always be a douche, and a joke, if he doesn't do those things. He can be redeemed, despite what he did, but until then, he's still a joke.And the funny thing is, I still like John Cena. Always have. Ever since he debuted as a wrestler back in 2002.
Everyone's talking about Bloodsport or Ratcatcher 2, but my heart went out to Nanaue and Starro. Nanue who was treated as a nuisance until they needed his muscle, and Starro whom was kept in captivity and his final line in the movie. But bringing up Starro.. they basically opened the door for Jarro. Love to see where they take him, if they go down that route~
Jarro is adorable

@@whysosnappy8016 what?
I was shocked at how much I liked Rick Flag in the movie as he was one of the worst characters in the first one. Joel Kinnaman gave a terrific performance and James Gunn wrote the character in a great new way that gave him way more freedom with it.
@Why So Snappy ??? SPOILERS
I actually hope they don’t bring Rick Flag back cause his death was one of my favourite scenes and I was genuinely gutted. It also perfectly demonstrates Peacemaker’s hypocrisy and twisted ideals of patriotism. I’m okay with Peacemaker coming back cause they only scraped the surface of his potential but if they brought Flag back it’d take away from his awesome death.
Loved Rick Flagg. The big revelation and turning point in his arc and his interactions and Rift with a specific character was perfect. My favourite part of the film
Tbh I didn't like how they changed his character loved him in the first one
I loved that for a violent movie it wasn’t too violent, it didn’t take every single chance it had to be violent. The best thing about it by far is that every choice that made throughout the movie by the filmmaker is the right choice. James Gunn really knows what he’s doing, not only with the content, but he knows exactly when to have comedy, when to have heart, when to have an action scene, how to have tension build between characters, how to use the budget and in what shots to blow money lol he reignited a spark for me to get re-invested in the dc universe or at least have hope for the future lol the writing for this is impeccable. Everyone had enough screen time. The cast was really good. The plot was insanely cool. Everything about it works.
Taika Waititi cameo is the icing on the cake
The compositing in this movie was absolutely insane. Something about the color palate and environments really grounded the whole thing. King Shark was so weighty and physical, and tbh the climax with Starro could give Legendary a run for their money

That alcohol bit at the end...you got me!
Waiting for this review for a long time
Bien
Quite
The dark moments with HQ were the best, I would LOVE a single take on a movie with her like Joker was. Just a dark psychological thriller or drama. It would be GREAT.
The scene Jeremy was alluding to is great. It is just serious enough to show that she is def not having a great time (in that moment), but is very entertaining in how it presents the character beats.
tbh theres already been far too many movies with her front and centre. she isnt that good.....more joker perhaps?
Could be more character driven too
I'm with you 100% on the VFX. So many DCEU movies have fallen short yet everytime King Shark was on screen I marveled at the texture, lighting, and subtler animations of the body as he moved.
I was afraid that James Gunn was gonna get overexcited with this movie the same way he did with "Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2"
I'm glad that he not only fixed the mistakes of the first SS, but was also able to bring some new things to the table, without making this movie look like another rip-off
James Gunn is the best at bringing lesser known characters to the screen and makes you love them!
He seems to be able to make a good movie but not tell a good joke.

Bloodsport is so unimportant in the comics. Dump power too. But with how they revamped his skills into a sexy tech suit with modular weaponry, I hope this might push him to be more prominent in the comics.
How the hell did blackgaurd contact the country's army whilst inside supermax prison? Then expect to be saved with a detonator still in his head? Other than that I enjoyed the movie.
Waller might have allowed it covertly, so they would serve as a distraction so the other team could get past most of their forces.
