Gone from not caring to interested to mildly hyped!
Will Smith will still manage to ruin this somehow though.Last edited by BaronSqwelch; 14-07-2015, 09:52.

I'm going to make an unfavourable prediction here:
I think this is the movie which, when looked back upon in 2018, critics will say was the point that superhero movies "jumped the shark".
Ensemble movies are difficult, especially when the relative fame/personas of the ensemble are not consistent.
This is the first big billed super-hero/villain movie in a long time (with more on the way) where the mainstream will have to look it up on wikipedia
The mainstream might not react so well to the new Jared Leto Joker, irrespective of his performance - plus its the first part of the Batman universe reboot since the Begins... trilogy
I make the above judgements based on very little evidence; it's just a gut feeling. I hope I'm going to be wrong and this will be an amazing film, because there's certainly capacity for it to be.

The first? What about Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy? Actually with this new trailer, they seem to be going for a similar vibe in the marketing. But it looks total pants to me. Where Guardians felt fresh and natural, this looks like a movie made by boardroom to me. I could be completely wrong, of course, but it's just the feeling I get based on what we've seen so far.

I just feel with Suicide Squad, there are two imbalances as part of the ensemble:
>> Joker (and possibly Harley Quinn) are much better known that the other characters
>> Will Smith is in a different category, by Hollywood standards, to the rest of the cast
That creates a situation for me which will present a challenge for scripting and directing. The Avengers was an ensemble, but we had several films to build them up beforehand. Guardians was an ensemble, but it was a smaller group who were all unknown.
