Ni anak-anak semua dalam ni yang bising-bising ni dah tengok ke belum. Lel

If you're a casual moviegoer, you'll find it just fine. Watched it, and liked it. The fact that throughout the movie all attendees enjoyed it (thru their laughs), sums up that it is indeed a fine movie

People who depend on reviewers are simply pathetic; they can't watch first and make their own opinion. Even if you agree with those reviewers who don't like it after watching it, you can simply bash it all you want and move on. But really, you don't have to force others to not like too. Get a life

Oh, and if you're a DC hater, seriously don't go and watch on the premiere night la. Premiere night is for its fans. They're eager to see it, that's why they couldn't wait

You're a hater, why do you even waste your time watching it so fast lol. You should wait till the ticket's price drops, and perhaps you can ask your family/friends to go along, so that if you're bored, you can just talk with them and harass others in there. Yeah? Lol. You need to work somemore the next day. Kenot brain these people. So semangat tengok awal-awal

Summary:

QUOTE
Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsujihara announced Suicide Squad in October 2014, and it was “a sprint from the start” to meet its August 2016 release date. “[Ayer] wrote the script in like, six weeks, and they just went,” a source told THR. Pushing the release date back was not an option, since Warner Bros. already had big deals signed with companies like Samsung and other merchandise partners.

Another problem — Warner Bros. hired David Ayer to direct the movie, even though he had no prior experience making a big, CGI-filled blockbuster. Seasoned directors are expensive, meaning studios turn to those with less experience, relying on instinct that they will be up to the job, THR says.

Warner Bros. executives, who were nervous about Suicide Squad since the day it was announced, grew even more nervous after the negative response to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. “Kevin was really pissed about damage to the brand,” one executive close to the studio told THR.

And then came the competing cuts. Warner Bros. felt that the movie didn’t deliver the fun, edgy tone that the “Bohemian Rhapsody” trailer captured. So while David Ayer continued to work on his version of the movie, Warner Bros. began working on another with help from Trailer Park, the company that had made the trailer.

Multiple editors worked on Suicide Squad, though only John Gilroy is credited. (A source told THR he left by the end of the process and that the final editor was Michael Tronick.)

In May, David Ayer’s darker version of the movie, and Warner Bros.’s lighter, more fun version were screened for test audiences. THR says that Ayer agreed to this, and they gathered all of the feedback and tried to reach a middle ground. In order to get the movie to that point though, millions of dollars were needed for reshoots.

THR says that a lot of “panic and ego” were involved, instead of calmly trying to address the tone issues. Things got so intense, that Ayer fired his long time agent, hired a new one, but then decided to go back to his old one just a day later. “He was under a lot — a lot — of pressure,” one source told THR.

In a joint statement to THR for there report, Ayer and Warners production president Greg Silverman said: “This was an amazing experience. We did a lot of experimentation and collaboration along the way. But we are both very proud of the result. This is a David Ayer film, and Warners is proud to present it.”

Now the pressure is on. One insider told THR that “the movie’s got to do $750 million, $800 million to break even. If they get anywhere close to that, they’ll consider it a win.” That is a huge hill to climb for a brand new superhero franchise.

So there you have it. There was a lot of behind-the-scenes drama over the last two years on the production of Suicide Squad. A David Ayer cut, a Warner Bros. cut, multiple editors, and lots of anxiety all played a part in the final product that is being released on August 5th. The critics didn’t like it, but now the fans will decide if Suicide Squad will be the $750 million hit that Warner Bros. desperately needs.


For fuck's sake WB, stop screwing DC. First they cut Snyder's version, then they made a mess with Ayer's. Reviewers don't pay the tickets, moviegoers do. Grow some balls, have some faith

QUOTE
The cast of new anti-hero movie "Suicide Squad" defended the film on Wednesday from scathing reviews, saying it was for the fans to decide if it does justice to the DC Comics characters it is based on.

"The critics have been absolutely horrific, they're really, really horrible. You know, I just don't think they like superhero movies," Cara Delevingne, who plays the Enchantress, told Reuters at the film's London premiere.

Delevingne added that while "this movie isn't perfect," it was made for the fans.

"Suicide Squad," out in theaters on Friday, follows a rogue group of anti-heroes with special powers - Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Boomerang, Killer Croc and El Diablo - who are held hostage by Gotham's government to use as weapons to protect the city.

Many critics have panned the film, with Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair calling it "too shoddy and forgettable to even register as revolting." The film has a 31 percent rating on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes.

Will Smith, who plays Deadshot, commended the film's writer-director David Ayer for weaving together the stories of 10 characters and setting up a new world within Warner Bros.' expanding cinematic superhero universe.

"I think people had expectations that may have been different, but I'm excited for the fans to get to vote," Smith said.

Ayer added, "I made the movie for real people who live in the real world. I made the movie for people who actually love movies and go and see movies."

QUOTE
At the European premiere in London's Leicester Square, Jay Hernandez, who play's pyromaniac El Diablo, had the most to say about the critical backlash, as well as claims Harley Quinn is 'objectified' in the film.

Speaking to Digital Spy, he said: "Yeah I am bothered about it, I think it sucks, obviously we worked hard and tried to give the fans what they wanted. It's weird that some of the criticism I heard was that it was 'too much like a comic book', in terms of you have these characters being objectified like Harley Quinn, there are just certain elements that are just part of being a comic book."

He continued: "If you're trying to portray that on a film, you have to stay true to that, because if you don't, the fans of the comics are going to be offended."

The Suicide Squad's leader Rick Flag, played by House of Cards' Joel Kinnaman, felt the film was really for the fans.

He said: "You know, of course you want critical acclaim, of course, but what matters is what the fans think. We're really proud of this film, we loved making it, everybody on the film has become really close friends and this is like a work of love and I hope the fans like it."

Meanwhile, Karen Fukuhara, who plays ninja assassin Katana, managed to stay very on-message and explained that the team "honestly made it for the hardcore DC fans".

QUOTE
Snyder is still credited as an executive producer on the movie and actually has more to do with Suicide Squad than you might think—he directed one of the film’s scenes. If you’ve seen the film, you know that in the flashback showing how Jai Courtney’s Captain Boomerang was captured, it was Ezra Miller’s The Flash who thwarted Boomerang’s in-progress bank robbery. The cameo was a nice surprise for fans and a further piece of connective tissue to the DC Extended Universe as a whole, but that particular portion of the scene in question wasn’t directed by Ayer.

At the recent Suicide Squad press day in New York, Collider’s own Steve Weintraub sat down with Ayer for an interview, and during the course of the conversation Steve brought up the Flash scene. Ayer revealed that the scene was always in the movie, but was shot in London:

    “Flash was always in the movie, we just got lucky because Justice League was happening and they had the uniform, they had the assets, so we were able to get that photography.”

Ayer added that the scene was shot while they were in post-production on Suicide Squad, and when Steve asked if it was directed by Snyder, Ayer confirmed that indeed, the Batman v Superman helmer was behind the camera for that specific moment.

It makes sense, after all, as Miller was in costume as The Flash for the first time earlier this year as production began in London on Justice League. It wouldn’t make much sense for Miller to fly all the way to Los Angeles to shoot what amounts to a single shot, and so Snyder simply snapped the footage during the production of Justice League and sent it over to Ayer and the Suicide Squad post-production team.

“Were there any that didn’t get cut? I’m asking you, were there any that didn’t get cut?” Leto asked IGN sarcastically. “There were so many scenes that got cut from the movie, I couldn’t even start,” he said. “There was so much that we shot that’s not in the film.”




QUOTE
“We shot so much footage. There are so many scenes that are not in the film,” Leto repeated to NME. “I haven’t seen the movie yet, so I didn’t know exactly what’s been cut out, but I do understand it’s an introduction to the Joker now. It’s a bit more of a supporting part than maybe it could have been if they used everything.”


Watch out, WB. The Joker isnt happy.

Some of the things that I got

QUOTE
“I think that I brought so much to the table in every scene that it was probably more about filtering all of the insanity, because I wanted to give a lot of options, and I think there’s probably enough footage in this film for a Joker movie.”

“If I were to die tomorrow maybe the studio would roll something out.”

“I always wished this film was rated R, and I had actually said that when we were starting. It felt like if a film was ever going to be rated R it should be the one about the villains.”

From what I caught on why Robbie thinks so much of The Joker and Harley Quinn’s backstory was cut from the movie

QUOTE
“We filmed so much of our backstory.”

“I think what they realized was that the emotional through-line of the story had to be the mission that we were on, and explaining the Enchantress’s position. The backstory stuff — though it’s like magic — and some of the stuff we shot was insane, they are flashbacks and they’re meant to be snippets.”

Suicide Squad: 17 things we learnt from David Ayer

1. The original script started in Belle Reve

"The very first script started in Belle Reve and told the backstories of everybody in these sort of flashback montages. The original conception is that there would be these memory bursts as they sat in their cells recalling their previous lives and also get the audience up to speed about who they are and how they ended up there. The first impulse was always to do a montage in the first act, but you chase different things."

2. It’s an ‘anarchic punk rock art movie’

"The film is really the journey of the soul. I know this is going to provoke incredible howls of outrage, but it’s really this anarchic punk rock art movie. June Moone goes into this cave where she becomes possessed by this alter-ego that’s hypersexual and primitive and destructive and vengeful. Everybody who has to take her down experiences their own sort of ‘dark night of the soul’ as Enchantress offers up this fantasy reality where she can provide them with a false nirvana, false happiness. The film, in a lot of ways, is really about the splitting of the personality and addiction, and the dark side of the soul."

3. It was the bat way or no way

"When I signed on, I explicitly asked for Batman. Everything’s always done in his viewpoint, in this case we see Batman through the eyes of the baddies that he arrests, so I thought it was important to show how he takes them down."

4. There’s no R-rated cut

"You could easily make this R-rated by having two F-bombs or someone smoke a cigarette. But that’s not what I think people mean when they ask for an R-rated version, so it was always meant to be a PG-13. It’s a decision you make before you turn the cameras on."

5. Scott Eastwood isn’t playing Dick Grayson. Or Roy Harper. Sorry

"He's Flag's right-hand man, GQ, a fairly straightforward military character."

6. Only two Skwad members were ever going to snuff it

"There was never a third. It’s pretty standard in the structure of all the Suicide Squad stories that somebody rebels against the system and gets executed by Amanda [Waller] or Flag, so it was important to show the consequences. You’re always wrestling with something like this, you know, 'Why would the bad guys play along?'."

7. Boomerang’s pink plush unicorn, ‘Pinky’, was a late addition

"[Pinky] was actually intended to be a piece of set decoration in one of our office building sets. I thought [Boomerang] needed a little something kind of fun and silly and it kept appearing throughout the film. It became a bit of a mascot. Yes, [he’s a] Brony. Which is fine. I think it’s a good thing and gives him a little hobby besides robbing banks."

8. The Joker owes his ‘damaged’ tattoo to the Boy Wonder

"This is sort of my personal thing and maybe less about a larger connection. But Joker killed Robin and Batman basically smashes his teeth out and locks him up in Arkham Asylum. It’s in the asylum where Joker would have done the ‘damaged’ tattoo as a message to Batman saying, 'You’ve damaged me. I was so beautiful before and now you’ve destroyed my face.' That’s where the grill comes from."

9. The version you see in cinemas is the ‘dossier’ version

"There’s a linear version we did where it opens up with June in the cave and tells the story in sequence with the arrests and Batman, and then we go to Belle Reve. Honestly, there may be six or seven different versions of the film. In that version, [test] audiences were left with a lot of questions and a little disoriented as to who to watch and why. So we came up with what we call the ‘dossier’ version which has Amanda presenting the backstories and origins of the various members."

10. Amanda Waller gets what Amanda Waller wants


"She’s an intelligence officer, and if you start running down the logic trails of things and you have this Batman figure acting as a vigilante – and at this point he’s been doing it for maybe 20 years – the intelligence services would absolutely figure out who this guy is and where he comes from. You’d put a friggin’ drone over Gotham City and just track the guy, it’s only logical. Amanda Waller would somehow get this information. There’s something fascinating in how she could wrangle these monsters. She has to be an apex predator in order to control them."

11. Ayer has no regrets over Slipknot’s early demise

"You have to pick and choose your battles, and Slipknot gets his head blown off pretty quickly. I made a commitment early on not to try and create some kind of misdirect, because when you have that many characters, every frame of real estate is priceless. I didn’t want to invest in that real estate to create some misdirect, because after opening night everyone knows he dies anyway."

12. Pink Floyd inspired a scene involving The Joker

"Yes, there’s some onesies (you can just see a baby onesie in the top right of the above picture). Some roses, some onesies, some piano keys, cell phones, laptops, obviously a lot of knives and weapons, a lot of empty bottles and some tied-off bags of god knows what. It was inspired a little bit from Pink Floyd, the movie when Pete goes insane in the hotel room."

13. Ayer didn’t feel constrained by the DC Cinematic Universe at large

"Initially there was a lot of discussion about how to connect to the Justice League movie. Obviously in continuity this is post-Batman V Superman, but Wonder Woman is an earlier timeline than this so I was kind of free and clear of any friendly fire. But Flash and Aquaman are sort of in present day timelines, so we just had to steer clear of all that. My best analogy is: this is a fleet of ships crossing the ocean, but you get to be captain of your own vessel."

14. Don’t call Jared Leto’s performance a cameo

"I think there was an expectation of what the film should have been. People really wanted more Joker and wanted him to be an A-plot component. And it’s funny how the critics call it a cameo but he has some fantastic sequences that are really important for the film. He really influences the journey quite a bit."

15. There’s a reason The Flash captured Captain Boomerang

"Boomerang is a Flash character, a Flash villain, traditionally. So it only made sense that it would be The Flash that captured him, so we dropped Ezra [Miller] in for his brief cameo. There’s a history of rivalry between them."

16. Amanda Waller is the mission

"The movie is basically Amanda Waller covering up her mistake, because she was the one that decided to use Enchantress as part of the original core Suicide Squad. Waller deploys her to clean up this entity that appears, which unbeknownst to Amanda is actually Enchantress’s brother. So Enchantress engineers her escape from Amanda Waller and then Waller decides to cover it up by having the Suicide Squad rescue her and get her out of that city. It’s funny because the plot gets deemed as being incredibly simple, but it’s actually extremely complex!"

17. So just what is on Griggs’ (Ike Barinholtz) internet history?

"I think it’s better left unsaid! I think he does a lot of eBay shopping."

Superman series never made that much money. MoS is still way better than Superman Returns. Saying it was a box office failure shows the true nature of the writer, which is basically disgruntled due to all those layoffs.

Rolling Stone Brazil published the uncropped Joker/Harley Quinn image. We now see that it’s from the helicopter scene when Joker reunited with Harley. In the movie, this scene plays out rather sweetly. The crazy couple shares a kiss, exchange compliments, and then Joker lets Harley know he has her favorite things waiting for them when they get home.

But this image above shows a different take that was cut out from this scene. Joker is clearly scolding Harley, and is probably being verbally abusive as well. That kind of mental and physical abuse is a trademark of their relationship, but it was almost entirely absent from Suicide Squad.

How Shia LaBeouf Stopped Drinking and Found the Career He Wanted

QUOTE
Variety published a profile on actor Shia LaBeouf today, and included is some interesting news about Suicide Squad.

LaBeouf, who starred in David Ayer’s 2014 movie Fury, says the director approached him about the role in Suicide Squad that Scott Eastwood ended up playing.

“The character was different initially,” LaBeouf says. “Then Will [Smith] came in, and the script changed a bit. That character and Tom [Hardy’s] character [later played by Joel Kinnaman] got written down to build Will up.”

LaBeouf told Variety that the studio vetoed his casting. “I don’t think Warner Bros. wanted me. I went in to meet, and they were like, ‘Nah, you’re crazy. You’re a good actor, but not this one.’ It was a big investment for them.”

It’s disappointing that Warner Bros. wouldn’t let David Ayer have the actor he wanted, but honestly, I don’t think LaBeouf missed much. Scott Eastwood had about 5 lines in Suicide Squad, and didn’t play an important character.
