Suicide Squad: DC's Most Controversial Movie?

Oh come on, you knew it was coming. Despite being a film that made just about every possible misstep they could take, had actually managed to accomplish something very few films do. Because did you know that today's film actually won an Academy Award? Well that 'aint the half of it' as we've got gifted rodents, a trailer the world wasn't supposed to see, and so much licensed music it'll make your head spin. All on top of a script that was written in just 6 weeks! Today we're talking about David Ayer's…or well…maybe we shouldn't identify it as that since he's been pretty adamant that this isn't his cut so…today on DC Revisited we're covering Warner Brother's Suicide Squad.

I still remember when that very first trailer came out, I was absolutely floored. Still one of the best trailers I've ever seen. Too bad it wasn't really the movie we got.

[ProBreakers]

I enjoyed this movie. Its too bad we didn't get the directors version though.

[Omar-wqdz]

Though I’ve never seen the theatrical cut, I would be interested in seeing if David Ayer made a director’s cut, considering how he didn’t have control of the editing

Margot Robbie was the best part of it, I think. Same with 'The Suicide Squad', and I liked her in 'Birds of Prey' too. Basically, they're worth watching for her at least. Interested in the Barbie movie mainly because she's the titular character.

Would have been interesting to see the different cut of this movie too.

I instantly fell for Margot Robbie's take on Harley Quinn
Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc, and Amanda Waller were great. Jared Leto's Joker wasn't bad, but he should have been the villain.

I remember all the bad press coming for this movie before it came out, and you know what? I still choose to give it the benefit of doubt since I wanted to be fair. And I saw it and left feeling thoroughly unsatisfied. I had to go home and watch "Assault on Arkham" to wash the bad taste out of my mouth and it's only gotten worse since then. Now I can ignore it entirely since we eventually DID get a good live-action "Suicide Squad" film that I still have fun watching. The best legacy of this film is that it meant the new one didn't have to waste time explaining the concept.

I think the lesson here is "don't base your decisions on test screenings".

"He wrote the script in six weeks".. so what??
Some of the best films of all time were written in matter of days, and some of them didn't even had a finished script while filming.
'End of watch', one of Ayer's best films was written in 6 days!
The film was obviously cut to shreds, David Ayer is a very talented director/writer and he deserves to have his cut released, only then we'll be able to judge the film properly.

the James Gunn Suicide Squad was actually really good it was just released at a really bad time right in the middle of a pandemic when people were avoiding going out to things like theaters.

[KenDAKLever]

Guilty pleasure for me. It's got tone issues, you can see the edits and reshoots WB did in a panic after the response to Dawn of Justice. It can be all over the place at times. But it was enough for me to like it. Not saying it was the best. Too bad it won't see what the movie was supposed to be originally

[Jay-gqmo]

Leto's Joker was awful in this movie but ZSJL brought him back for me. Not outright redeemed him but really had me wanting to see more of him

[thecunninlynguist]

I got to see it at the first pre screen years ago...and provided some pretty critical comments..then saw the final product...and I kid you not, it somehow got a little worse than the Version I saw

[darthtepes]

Wow, Gosling turned down the part of Joker but he would go on to work with Margot in Barbie movie anyway😄

[bensneb]

I’d say Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is the most controversial DC movie. Suicide Squad had a lot of potential, I hope we get to see the directors cut someday because I think that would be much more interesting film

[atwunz]

Ryan Gosling and Jared Leto look the same 😂

[Kings_Gambit]

Leto is so awful, there aren't words in the English language to describe just how awful he is. This film was a terrible misfire.

[JaySaintG]

Hopefully some day we ll get the Ayer Cut on HBO Max excuse me MAX someday

[LeonardoKlotz]

When I saw the first trailer, I thought it was gonna be the next WATCHMEN

Instead, it became a "Guardians of the Galaxy" rip-off

[The_Infamous_Boogyman]

Yeah, it won an oscar for something that nobody really cares ab. What was it, sound design or something? I had no idea until i watched Solar Opposites. 😅 6:04 oh, ok, it was crock's makeup. Gotcha.

[Deathstroke]

I was so hyped for this film when the trailer dropped. Then I watched it in theaters. I was really hoping for a dark gritty film about The Suicide Squad
