    There's now rumors going around that there are multiple versions of the movie and that after the BvS debacle, that a slightly more serious version of this film was scrapped for one that has more pop songs and scene edits.

    So while Ayer pursued his original vision, Warners set about working on a different cut, with an assist from Trailer Park, the company that had made the teaser.
    In May, Ayer's more somber version and a lighter, studio-favored version were tested with audiences in Northern California. "If there are multiple opinions that aren't in sync, you go down multiple tracks — two tracks at least," says an insider. "That was the case here for a period of time, always trying to get to a place where you have consensus." Those associated with the film insist Ayer agreed to and participated in the process. Once feedback on the two versions was analyzed, it became clear it was possible to get to "a very common-ground place." (The studio-favored version with more characters introduced early in the film and jazzed-up graphics won.) Getting to that place of consensus, however, required millions of dollars worth of additional photography.

    Other sources describe a fraught process — one cites "a lot of panic and ego instead of calmly addressing the tonal issue." Clearly all wasn't sitting right with Ayer, who in June suddenly dropped his longtime agent at CAA and defected to WME, though the agency won him back in a day. "He was under a lot — a lot — of pressure," says one person with knowledge of the situation, arguing that Ayer was exhausted and needed time to process conflicting ideas.

    Well i mean, we know that happened.
    Whether or not they kept the original cut is unknown, they probably did, but we know they had a different movie a few months back.

    "Following the petition’s initial posting, Coldwater revised his comments about Rotten Tomatoes: 'A petition definitely won’t shut down the site. The aim of the petition is to deliver a message to the critics that there is a lot of people disagree with their reviews.' "

    No shit Sherlock; all or I should say most critics know this. But the reviews are read anyway and taken with a grain of salt if needed. I don't believe that reviews totally influence whether someone sees a movie or not; they're more influenced by trailers and word of mouth than anything else.

    I'll wait for Redbox or HBO or TNT or whatever. After the last fuckup, I don't wanna sit though another shit comic book movie in the theaters just because I'm interested or a fan of the characters. Red Letter Media had a great point at big budget franchises in that a lot of people care more about branding than substance, I.e. there's a new Joker, I gotta pay to see it no matter what. I know that cmurdur of 2008 would have thought this way, but not anymore.

    I've read a lot of reviews that say this movie is shit, so I'll take their word for it.

    Suicide Squad

    It was okay. It's no where nearly as bad as the critics make it out to be.

    It has too simple of a plot that could've spent more time fleshing out all the characters, even though we get the most out of Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Diablo and Rick Flagg (though his love interest with Enchantress is severely lackluster) who are great characters you love and root for, Will Smith is great, Margot Robbie is great, the effects are beautiful and creative (most of the time) and it all comes down to the Suicide Squad being assembled to stop Enchantress from using a blue laser to destroy humanity because they used to worship her and her brother as gods and have sense then turned on them.

    It lacks just a little more depth in its story and with most of its characters, the dialogue and stand-out designs for the rest of them saves them from being too forgettable only because they don't have a whole lot to do except kill monsters.

    The action scenes are very fun to watch, it's not as drawn out and terribly disappointing as BvS, it's all well directed and very fun to watch, everyone gets their moment to shine and it all comes together even if the ending it starts to get just a little too cheesy. It tries to mash things up with the movie being a serious/camp movie and for the most part it works, the dialogue is silly and comic booky enough to laugh about and having fun with all of these characters, with wonderful stylish colors for the most part.

    Killer Croc was amazing to look at being a full prosthetic makeup creation just goes to show you how great makeup effects are over CGI (which they originally were going to use for a King Shark character but decided against it which was for the best).

    Katana is a cool character even if her backstory is reduced to 30 seconds and feels too rushed and her character just blends in with the background characters with not much dialogue or much to do which was disappointing.

    Jared Leto as the Joker was compelling to watch throughout the movie, a psychotic spin on the Joker with a smooth punk edge to him and being something of a creepy mob boss, one thing that is severely lacking from his character though is his Joker laugh that needs to loud, crazy, maniacal and scary which doesn't always happen in the movie which was a bit of a letdown, but the scenes with him and Harley Quinn are very fun to watch the movie might as well should've been about them.

    It's a damn shame they cut most of Jared Leto's scenes out whether it was to save time or WB wanting to change up the tone because of the poor reception of BvS, Leto's Joker is pretty much one of the biggest reasons people wanted to see the movie and him being the selling point in the marketing only to cut some of his scenes down for tone or time or whatever I think kind of hurts the movie and keeps it from being great.

    Of course some would argue that if there was a little too much Joker it would be too much of a Batman movie, which wouldn't be a big deal since most of the villains in the Suicide Squad are Batman villains, but I just think it's a poor excuse to defend the movie's glaring flaws.

    Over all, I'd give Suicide Squad a solid 6/10, it's a decent watch even if it could have used a better plot or just flesh out the characters more, I know they're villains and the conventions of villains you stick with is that the less you know about a villain the scarier they are, on the other hand this is a difficult idea to pull off making villains into a task force to do good in the world even a scene towards the end with their down time gets very deep and could've used more scenes like it, it juggles so much of these characters and what scenes to do it pulls off in some parts while it's weaker in other spots.

    It's not a bad movie, it's just decent.

    Tried to get in to see this a couple times and each time it was sold out. I hate crowded theaters since they take away from the movie ( for me any way) and that's not fair to the film, so I may shoot for Sunday's last showing and hope its pretty dead otherwise I'll wait a week or so for the crowds to die down.

    Saw it today and found it to be pretty awesome, highly entertaining. This is the coolest Will Smith has been jn a long time, Harley Quinn and The Joker were great, just wush there was more Joker. Loved the scene when hevwas firing that ig gun out of the backmof the helicopter, pure Joker moment.

    Have to agree with the critics. Way too much stuff cut out for me to like it. There were a few things I liked but overall I can't say I liked it that much. I'll wait for the extended cut.

    You loved BvS and hated this. This film was somewhat of a mess, but it didn't bother me quite as much as BvS did. I definitely feel Suicide Squad was was a far better film between the two

    Overall I liked the movie. It's entertaining from start to finish and that's all I really wanted from this. Of course I knew nothing of these characters aside from the obvious ones like Harley Quinn and Joker, so this is coming from a general viewer's perspective. Though I can't deny that it has a lot of problems as well. The editing is the film's biggest enemy, in my eyes, as it just seemed really sloppilly chopped up, especially in the beginning (with all the random ass music) and there are scenes that just seemed kind of out of place. The writing isn't the greatest either, but I don't expect a whole lot from a movie like this.

    Margot Robbie was a pretty good Harley Quinn, but I don't have much of an opinion on Jared Leto's Joker. Simply put, he was adequate--there simply wasn't enough of him on screen and what we did get wasn't anything that stood out. Will Smith was awesome as Deadshot though--I'd totally see a Deadshot movie, if they ever did one. And it would've been nice if there was more Batman. But like I said, I liked the film and would give it a solid 7/10
