The Suicide Squad - Didn't Impress Me
Well, I just saw the trailer for James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, and it looks pretty underwhelming. Is this movie going to suck? Join me as I break it down.

Here's the thing you have too remember: James Gunn is extremely good at pulling off the fake out. When we all saw the Guardians of the Galaxy's very first trailer, we thought it wouldn't be so good but it was, just ad you said. Hes not a cinematic messiah of any kind at all so don't take me wrong. I agree with 95% of what you've said here and typically your right about something like this. So I'm gonna reserve my criticism for after the movie comes out and bombs big time lmao.
Try actually watching the movie before you decide you dont like it. This is just a review of the trailer not the movie. This isnt a comedy. You clearly dont know the charcters and dont understand comic book movies yet shit all over it anyways before actually seeing it which I find really weird. I have a feeling that some people will just automatically hate hate hate anything DC puts out no matter what before it even gets released.
it's going to be far superior to birds of prey that's all I care about
You ever consider that you're just incapable of enjoying some harmless fun? Give it a try.
Do a vid about Invincible from PrimeVideo
If you remember the first suicide squad movie had a fantastic trailer! I think that trailer with Queen singing Bohemian Rhapsody actually got that shitty bio pic made. Maybe the movie will be good . they just made a shitty trailer for this thing. Harley Quinn was fantastic when she was first created for a cartoon/animation. When they put her in the comic books they turned her into a prostitute. Seriously, she’s so over sexualized. That’s why she doesn’t work.
John Cena could have been doom guy, but nope his in suicide squad 2... John needs a better agent.
Well... You DIDN'T impress me when you haven't seen the real thing yet... Plus, have you even seen what the Suicide Squad in the comics are like? Maybe how they are in some animated films when they're supposed to be like that??? No??? Oh... good... NOW WHINE ABOUT YOUR NEXT BIRTHDAY PRESENT AND DROP THE "HATE EVERYTHING" JUICE!!
But Shark King is a actually character in the DC universe.
Quinn was misfiring for me too. It's the Hot Topic Cosplay costume where the actual costume is both concealing and still enticing, fun. Her just wearing whatever just doesn't work.
Fairuza Balk would be a great Harley Quinn.
I didn't even know they made a sequel that original trash lmao i guess Hollywood loves to throw money away
Yeah going to pass on Suicide Squad, mostly because of Harley Quin. I really don't like margot robbie's interpretation of Harley. Also I don't know why people didn't like Guardians or the Galaxy 2. I personally thought it was better than the first one, but that's just my opinion.
Lol, I tought it is was parody.
AND IF IT DID IMPRESS YOU THEN WHAT? WOULD THE WORLD FUCKING FIX ITSELF?
This looks like if Deadpool and Gaurdians of the Galaxy had a baby but no one wanted it
Drinker you're looking for a reason to complain
Half in the movie I hope they will sing: "Daddy shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Daddy shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Daddy shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo Daddy shark"
I get older but Super hero fans stay the same age
If it bombs, blame James Gunn. It's all on him
Naahhh... Harley Quin is OK if you ask me... Jared Leto is also not a bad Joker... John Cena... Not a really good actor... Dwayne Johnson can not really be replicated...
This film is inevitably gonna flop mainly because of the pandemic and also because they no longer wanna make connected movies anymore which in turn is making people lose interest in the dc films.
Is it too late to get paul verhouven on this?
the first part was good, but then when they said Kaijo and started playing old music from the 80s and 90s with cringey jokes, yeah this is gonna be another WB film copying from MCU movies. WB you already have a nice direction with Zack Snyder's Justice League.
Do you not like Peter Capaldi Doctor Who? I'm not saying your wrong, but I kind of liked the angry librarian vibe he brought to the series. Although his series was in my opinion where modern Doctor Who jumped the shark.
Just like thunder squad i could barely stomach the trailer. I didn't bother with it and I definitely won't bother with this.
I'm still gonna watch it no matter what
I will remain optimistic since I am a fan of amanda wallers suicide squad .the suicide squad kills the justice league ?let's make that happen.
DC > Marvel, comic and TV shows Marvel > DC, movies
What's sad is King Shark actually looks better on the CW's Flash.
I'm gonna say it nobody likes a debbie downer all the time damn man. It's not real life just entertainment
Its like the color pallets of the settings in the movies changed shifted from “the dark knight” to “deadpool”
John Cena is in this? Where at??
Man's didn't even know who King shark was. Yea I can't take this video seriously
Harley Quinn in her first appearance on btas was great the way she is now is a complete joke to the original
Idress Elbow STILL can't act
Dumb fun is fun sometimes 😄 its just a trailer
The first teaser where they introduce the characters was funny but this one was kinda a let down
That isn't what happened with Justice League.
Harley Quinn is hard to watch but i like the rest of the disposable squad i mean suicide squad.
"Bloodsport is basically deadshot" Ah yes, Deadshot was that guy who shot superman with a kryptonite bullet
Did he shoot him? You sound ironic but that seems like something the man that's good at shooting would do, deadshot
You're wrong about Suicide Squad. It does suck, but it's on David Ayer not "studio interference". David Ayer was writing the movie as he made it and had no real idea what kind of movie he wanted to make....I know, I worked on it. It was an unfocussed mess that had a river of money flowing into it. Massive sets were built but they weren't really utilized. Everything was pieced together on the fly. The supposed extensive reshoots basically boiled down to the one fight in an the elevator and lobby. Nothing major changed, it was just a movie based on an idea rather than a solid concept or script.
Sharkboy became shark MAN!
I like the first suicide squad movie too . But i blame the sell Outs internet critics who ruined it . Like no matter left wing or right wing You don't even read the comics your self.
Modern internet critics. Aw boo hoo i didn't like suicide squad because it was to edgy and lag's the SJW agenda's boo hoo. Birds of prey come along aw boo hoo 😫 this movie is targeted audience are SJW . And then even SJW hated this movie it bomb in box office Then anouther suicide squad movie comes along . Aw it's to chill i hate it give me back the edgy version. How about you guys should up and make up your mind of what you want . Some times you guys really are no different than the SJW you love to make fun like how irionic .
You modern critics are butch of sell out your self.. Need. Examples how about the last of Us part 2.
This is real?
Didn't Gunn also direct Thor: Ragnarok?... which in my opinion is in the top 5 MCU films.
I know it’s easy to rip on Jai Courtney, but honestly, I really think he did well with Capt Boomerang. Both the look + the attitude. He took a z-list obscure character and made it his own. I’ll give him props + respect for that.
I kinda liked the trailer(s). Starro was quite an unexpected surprise.
What a shame comic films won't just die altogether.
I suspect this is Left Shark's last cinematic chance before being cast on a Hallmark Channel Christmas movie.
Dinotribe?
“Several minutes of bland unremarkable low energy nothingness”... kind of like listening to this review.
Yeah lemme complain about a fucking trailer.
John Cena was there? I didn't even see him. No jokes, I didn't notice him at all
Give the damn video a chance
King Shark merchadise is gonna save this movie
Harley Quinn! I recognized her! I clapped when I recognized her!
I agree with everything in this video. I wondered if I was alone. Guardians of the Galaxy was so good and James Gunn seems to know how to do an ensemble super hero movie, and I really thought this was going to be a slam dunk. But this trailer I found to be so unremarkable and I thought the jokes weren't funny more than anything else it looks like I'm looking at a movie the whole time. It's hard for me explain what I mean but some movies look like your looking at a set and some movies seem super believable. Harry Potter felt more grounded in terms of you forgetting they are on a set and those movies were pure sets. This looks like it's outside most of the time and it looks false. But maybe we'll be surprised and this will be good. But I'm not going to be on pins and needles for another year waiting for it. I did that for the first Suicide Squad and it was a bummer.
In a shocking twist, The Drinkers least favorite part of this trailer was a female character.
It's almost like she's a bad character or something.
Read a few of John Ostrander's Suicide Squad comics and maybe you'll understand... You just sound like a hater dawg 😂
James Gunn and it's rated R. I'd say pump your brakes. And bruh... How can you review a fucking trailer? Lol. Also, if you don't know King Shark, perhaps you're not the best to be taking about it? And idris Elba makes fresh prince look like a crazy scientologist. I'm no fanboy and I hate most of the DC stuff. This looks decent.
STOP WATCHING CAPESHIT
What a waste of a stellar cast. Disagree about idris alba. Big will is washed up and frankly I dont think he is trying like he used to. John cena is hilarious and should be getting real acting roles. Harley Quinn's character is being handled horribly. Her story is that of a prestigious psychiatrist being enamored by the joker... She would best be used in a similar vein to how 'joker' was. A Dark drama. Her zany nature is despite her circumstance. Just being lol rawr so random is shit and just trying to appeal to my generation who will look back in ten years and cringe. Its shit. If somethings worth doing its worth doing right. But I guess james Gunn does have a taste for the underdeveloped. Wink wink.
Same movie different actors some actually the same
This guy kept talking about John Cena But I can't see him
I must have missed the memo... Is it cool to hate on Idris Elba now? Has the Drinker even SEEN The Wire?
Can't be funny when you don't get the joke
I'm glad someone is being honest
Its a mess for Harley Quinn, the best development and narrative I've seen for her is in the Batman White Knight comic series.
Looks like it will be a fun movie to me.
I think the trailer has more to go on then the original. I'm not looking forward to it but I will watch it
Played out formula of grabbing a bunch of d listers making a team or group adding dick jokes and violence then expecting a hit
He is way better then will Smith. Hater
Lets be honest, did it impress anyone?
wait... they made another suicide squad movie? O_o
Uwite gurl worth saving blk gurl masculine🙄.
The sinder cut is garbage .the first movie we got wasnt great either but alot better then the shameless sinder cut . the sinder cut is only liked because there distance from the fix version.
I'm sure it will be even worse than the first movie.
Saw the trailer and my reaction was like "WTF is this?" It looks bland and forgettable, I doult it will be a major sucess with such a bland trailer, its not exactly going to get butts in seats, I felt similar about Shazam, it just comes across as something that never should of been green lighted, its obvious no one at Wanner knows what to do with the DC characters, there is no plan, they clearly lack confidance in their people or they are hiring the cheepest and baddest writers around to write their scripts and hoping for masterpieces to be produced but all they keep producing is trash! The Snyder cut was a good, sure it might be extremely long but it was a good story in general, but my main beef with the DC EU is that Wanner have pretty much been in a blind panic since the first Avengers movie, instead of setting up the Justice League characters in solo films, they took the hop, skip and jump approch that resulted in them landing flat on their faces and just when they try and get back up and dust themselves off, they fall over, again and again! The reason Marvel suceeded was simply because they set out a road map prior and set up three primary characters before hand, well techinally four, but that up for debate and then united them with the surporting characters in one film, plus they also had some talanted actors whose names have become household names and forever linked to their respected characters, Wanner, they haven't been able to achive that with their actors because the movie they been in, haven't been that great and mostly forgettable.
You're off base on this one.
"The thinking man's Will Smith" made me uncomfortable. I'm not sure why. Could you explain?
It looks worse than the first one.
DC be like: 📈📉📈📉📉📉📉
One of my little regrets in life was buying 3 tickets for me, my bro and cousin to see the first suicide squad. That was the first movie that caused me to check my watch multiple times throughout to see when the shitshow was close to ending. I have never seen any other DC film since
Watch Shazam, Wonder Woman (the first one) and Joker. They're all great
In old 50's narration voice: Welcome to the 21st century, where Harley Quinn, a wannabe anti-hero, who was never meant to be a character like that, gets more screen time, than Superman in his own movieverse.
The comics boomerang is the best character because he would do anything to escape the I mean anythings
I wish I could like the video everytime you say a sentence!
I like the shark
That shark looks so obviously CG it stands out too much
I actually think this will be good because King shark is a Shark.
Even if it sucks let’s admit it will be better then the first one.
John Cena is great! (He was the best thing about 'Trainwreck'.) As far as James Gunn, the first thing that comes to my mind is p3d0.
@Henny DaWillow // 'Cause everyone knows how p3d0philia is just the most hilarious subject matter. 😂👍🏾
Kinda sounds like don't understand the concept of a joke
it’s a trailer
They just seem desperate to make anything out of Harley Quinn no matter how much it doesn't work.
She makes DC alot of money of course they're going to use her
I’m starting to feel like the only person who’s actually excited for this movie. Maybe people should give it a chance?
same im really excited to watch it too
So, I'm not alone who didn't liked the trailer.
Can you review "Evolution"? Remember that one?
Wow they done King Shark dirty. And let’s cut the crap, this is Harley Quinn ft. Suicide Squad. Tell me the movie is R rated and all it does to earn that is have Harley say “Fuck” every 5 minutes again?
We want DC dark right because that's what made it freakin DC. Marvel already has that comedic childish trademark let em have it.
I miss movies that can stand on their own without 50 sequels and a contrived spin off series.
Try horror...
This comment would have been better fitting for an MCU movie. This films only has one predecessor
WB has been going down that disney hole. Not looking good.
Idris Elba is an amazing actor what is this guy talking about lol
Dude I thought I was the only one. Every comment I saw was just jizzing all over this movie but it's the definition of meh. I definitely give you a guardians of the galaxy vibe but way worse.
