People say the film needed more Joker...


But should´t other characters get alot of screentime aswell? Killer Croc for example never appeared in a Live-action film before. It was also nice to see Deadshot, even though I preferred a different actor. I think it was refresing to see more of other Batman villains.

I agree.

It didn't need more Joker, or more Killer Croc, or any other character or actor. What it needed was a different director, writer, and film editor!

And, well, a different actress as Enchantress. Honestly, they'd have done better to make the character all CGI.

David Ayer is actually a decent director, it's just that WB didn't give him enough time to write and direct the film.

Who on earth wanted to see more of that Joker

reply

I did. The movie without him sucked. DC ruins almost every movie they release.

reply

To each their own. I thought the movie was enjoyable enough but the parts I hated the most are the ones that featured the Joker.

reply

You are the minority. Most people agree with me.

reply

I mean... not from what I've seen, but you must be right. You surely wouldn't be going and claiming that your own opinions are facts.

reply

You haven't seen much then. It is pretty widely agreed upon that Suicide Squad was rather mediocre with audience opinions. Most people wanted more Joker. The movie seemed to promise a darker more adult super hero movie and what we got was a watered down Hollywood snooze fest. The trailers looked so good, but the movie was tinkered with and made more family friendly by the studio. The problem with DC movies is that they change the film from the original cut and ruin what probably would have been a decent movie.

Looking back on this is very funny because of how much people still (and did with this movie's initial release, despite what you were trying to claim) hate Leto's Joker. I suppose you still feel the same way and also still believe your opinion to be true fact. Comical.

reply

I did too. I felt the same way.

Him and Harley.

To those of you saying other villains need movie time too. Well thats why its bad writing. Too many big time characters for a movie and even well organized. Movies should have 3 characters at the most. Yea the movie was fun but not a great movie let alone well written.
