Congrats I wasted another two hours of my life
To be honest, from a fan's point of view, the rating of "Suicide Squad" makes me inexplicably feel that this epidemic seems to be suffocating for everyone who doesn't have any super hero movies to watch.
First of all, I admit that compared to the last live-action version of Suicide Squad, this one has improved more than a star and a half , and it must be passable (if it fails, it is unreasonable). From a commercial point of view and the degree of public recognition , it can also be regarded as "hope in the DC village" , and it is still worth giving Warner a little chirp.
So, let me first talk about the points that I personally think are OK.
Thank God, the plot is finally saved
Compared with the previous unbelievable plot, this plot finally went on. Although the story of exposing a conspiracy in a beautiful country is really old-fashioned, it is at least logical and plausible . At the same time, the character arc is relatively complete , whether it is the reason for joining the Suicide Squad (threatened or accustomed, or going to numnum, and whatever it is), or the decision to save the world ( Go to nmd, Lao Tzu found out temporarily), everyone's actions are consistent with their underlying character logic.
At the same time, as a mindless commercial film, it is really a good choice to use "stepping points" to connect the plots . This "stepping point" is equivalent to summarizing the main plot of the next ten minutes or so. Compared with the last "running account" narrative without any obvious distinction, it is really superior. In this way, whether it is a fan who is familiar with the Chaoying routine, or an audience who randomly clicks on the video to watch it, they can understand the direction of the plot. All in all, very passerby and audience friendly .
Violence and beauty, just right
Violent aesthetics have always been the favored type, giving people different sensory stimulation. However, this degree is very difficult to grasp - not violent enough, boring and boring; too violent, there is no beauty. Such subjective evaluations are truly overwhelming. However, since it is very subjective, subjectively, I think that the part of Harley rushing out of the presidential palace is really not bad .
Thinking about it, this should be a bridge with blood chirping, arms and legs flying all over the sky . However, it is really a good choice to use petals to replace the blood that splatters, and at the same time, supplemented by smooth fighting, this paragraph is really good enough. Violence that belongs to women can be the bloodbath izakaya in "Kill Bill", of course, it is also this kind of killing Quartet in romance and poetry.
Crazy criticizing beauty, this is Harley Quinn
This time the characters and their actions mostly match, especially Harley. Her overall image is really better than the last time. Although the term "crazy beauties" has become obsolete, it really suits Harley. Many of her reversal choices in the film have a kind of "O Henry-style" unexpected, but reasonable . Although "crazy" is her main trait, it doesn't mean she has no brains . After all, Harry could make Arkham's doctor think that it was not a piece of cake to deceive the other party by pretending to be in a coma.
In the end, the pits that map reality naturally needless to say, they are all very good .
The above is the reason why I think it can pass, and the following is the reason why this live version is the most passable in my heart.
Suicide Squad spontaneously saves the world, keke
In fact, if you think of making a super-English movie as writing a propositional essay, then both of these two "Suicide Squad" should be below the pass line, because neither of them has reached the passing standard of the propositional essay - not digressing from the topic. Yes, that's right, both of them are off topic .
As a temporary Lalang group composed of super villains, they are absolutely forced to be together, and even if they form a team, they are reluctant . This kind of combination has the same purpose as superheroes, voluntarily and honestly with each other, and anti-heroes say they want to solo, but in fact, physically honest team formation are two completely different concepts. Even if Suicide Squad is so "non-mainstream" and so different, it is still a villain, and any behavior must conform to the character of a villain.
Even if there is a setting that is controlled by others, it does not prevent them from wanting to do things and add to the hearts of superheroes. "Think about it, let me save the world" really doesn't exist .
Here, I have to mention the masterpiece with Suicide Squad as the protagonist-"Batman: Assault on Arkham" (although I know this is not about martial arts, after all, animation has always been very stable, and magic works are frequent, but people Always look to the role model, right). People just don't stray from the topic, write well, and are a model of composition with full marks.
Almost the standard combination of "Suicide Squad 1" is also subject to Waller, but the members have shown the qualities that a real villain should have - "going to the grave and burning newspapers" under Waller's eyes, seizing opportunities all the time To the death of the other party, the catastrophe is imminent, and they must flee separately, and there is no compromise for the sake of the family. If you dare to threaten me with your family, then kill you.
So, they are making a lot of trouble in Arkham, who will solve such a big mess? Who else, of course, is Batman .
Everyone performs their own duties, never ooc, and there is no fashion narrative method, but you can not only understand the plot of this film, but also watch the protagonists do things and it is very cool. In the end, only the government of a beautiful country who wants to be beautiful is the only one who suffers, and super heroes and super villains start a new round of daily competition with each other.
To tell you the truth, if you want to see the grass stage team with three views and one heart, why not click on Guardians of the Galaxy? At least no ooc.
Excessive self-awareness really
I have to say, as the end credits rolled, I started to think, maybe I've been watching the last two hours, maybe not Suicide Squad, but Guardians of the Galaxy in old bottles . To be honest, the Guardians of the Galaxy are really quite successful, nonsensical enough, and "anti-hero" enough. Perhaps it is this kind of success that makes the director "lazy" and makes Warner more unable to recognize the reality, thinking that with this template, all atypical heroes can succeed.
However, the specific analysis of specific issues is really commonplace. The Guardians of the Galaxy are really a grass-roots team of anti-heroes with one heart and three views, but like I said before, the Suicide Squad is not a Hero Scout team. This is really ooc apart from the main character, especially Waller and her subordinates.
Maybe in the director's opinion, this film needs some comedian elements, but most of the members of the suicide squad are first- and second-tier super villains. What they want is to kill people and solve problems without blinking an eye . Perhaps, the director also felt that some bgm was needed to enhance the atmosphere, but bgm is really not suitable , after all, Arkham regulars are really not a grass- roots team.
You say that the director is really lazy, no, he also tried "multiple storylines" in the film, but everything is too much, this trick actually makes the plot stiff . I personally think that "Dunkirk" is really a model of "multi-story narrative". All the content will eventually come together naturally and lead to the end together, but in this film , the extra story line is like " My God, if I don't have this storyline, I can't get on with it. I might have to 'eat the setting', so I quickly write a paragraph and post it." Everything seems to be filling a hole. Therefore, in the face of dazzling skills, sometimes it is really necessary to think about it, and it is really unnecessary.
I don't object to a director showing his own style in a film, but there must be a degree. In this kind of propositional composition, I accept the director's ideas and film style twenty-eighth. After all, if there is no personal aesthetic of the director at all, then there is nothing to watch in super-English movies. Bart, it's obviously 82 points here, or it's not the right kind , so it's not good enough. It's not hard to see why this movie makes me think it's the Suicide Squad version of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
To sum up the statement, from the perspective of fans, this "Suicide Squad" is still a substandard product, but there is progress, which is really gratifying. However, judging from the operation of the entire DC universe, Warner still has a long way to go to know itself and figure out what to do.
BTW, if you especially want to see the nonsensical DC grass stage super villains team story, it is recommended to click on the animation of "Harley Quinn". Although it is a sub-conventional style, it is definitely an adult film, and it is definitely not ooc. I have to sigh, even though DC's animations are average in style, the quality is absolutely stable.
