Worse yet? Either way, it's not a complete loss
After experiencing the double fiasco of "Batman v Superman" at the box office, the launch of "Suicide Squad" was not very reassuring.
Although some fans hope that this film can sweep away the decline of the previous work, because "Suicide Squad" itself is a branch film, the investment of resources is relatively not very large.
Sure enough, the film's reputation after its release was very poor. It was on the same level as "Batman v Superman". On Rotten Tomatoes, the freshness index was only 27%, and the audience popcorn index was only 59%, all of which failed.
However, when the reputation of "Suicide Squad" is so low and the Chinese Dynasty has not been released, the global box office has won 746 million US dollars , and the North American box office is as high as 325 million . This achievement can be said to be very eye-catching. In many cases, its profit is indeed very good.
Of course, for a movie universe, from a long-term perspective, word-of- mouth is actually more meaningful than the box office. Therefore, "Suicide Squad" must have no relationship with the word "success". Even from the perspective of the film itself, it belongs to the excellent Disadvantages are very obvious type.
Locate the villain? Rather a hero with flaws
The members of the organization Suicide Squad are all villains . The plot is set to be dispatched by the government to do some dangerous work. Once they dare to resist, the bomb placed on them will explode.
Yes, in the setting, all the members of the squad are all villains, all villains who kill without blinking an eye.
However, perhaps because of the fear of being criticized for letting a group of criminals save the world, "Suicide Squad", to a certain extent, has washed the villains in the team .
For example, the family warmth of the dead shoot, the Tinder people surrendered because they lost control and burned their family members, and even the most vicious killer crocodile, there are also all kinds of funny scenes.
Of course, the world is not black and white, and it is a matter of course for even the villain and criminal to have their own emotions.
However, the film depicts too much the "white" side of these characters, while the "black" side is briefly mentioned, which itself runs counter to the film's positioning of "letting a group of dangerous and vicious criminals to save the world" .
Many viewers originally wanted to watch "unjust" villains form a group to fight, but when they entered the theater, they saw a group of "just heroes with some shortcomings to save the world" . Conflict, the completion of the film is so low, no wonder it is criticized.
Characters and stories conflict repeatedly
Generally speaking, for popcorn entertainment movies, the requirements for the plot are not too high, just pass.
But the story of "Suicide Squad" not only has many flaws, but many of them are very embarrassing to the audience.
The source of these points is as mentioned above, because the movie "washes" the characters too much, but they are still a group of criminals in the setting of the story. The conflict between the characters and the story makes the plot change. To be inexplicable.
For example, when they learned that the opponent was a witch brother and sister with thousands of years of mana that could almost destroy the world, the team members had a drink in the bar and chatted a few words before going to save the world together.
A group of criminals who can kill innocent civilians as ants at will to save the world is not because of physical bombs or forced, but because of their "justice" from the heart....
Another example is the Pyroman, who has not known the members of the team for two days, and has never been involved in establishing relationships with other members in the film. In the final battle, he shouted: "I don't want to lose my family again!" And then generously sacrificed. .....
Besides, the BOSS witch brothers and sisters, judging from the final performance of the movie, they have been able to call for wind and rain on a global scale, and even cause climate changes, and even have the ability to regenerate their bodies.
However, such a villain that seemed to require at least a Wonder Woman-level hero to deal with was finally solved by the suicide squad, which was mostly human, and the solution was firearms + cold weapons + bombs .
The whole "Suicide Squad" story is full of two words, forced , or embarrassing .
Harley Quinn
Of course, although the film "Suicide Squad" has many flaws, it also has its bright spots, otherwise the box office would not be so high.
And this highlight is Harley Quinn . It is no exaggeration to say that this character alone propped up the entire film. Otherwise, "Suicide Squad" would not have been able to stabilize with such a low reputation. Steady harvest at the box office.
Harley Quinn is played by actor Margot Robbie , and Robbie herself is very good-looking, and is almost 100% perfect in terms of fit with the role.
This ensures that Harley Quinn makes a very strong first impression on the audience when she appears in the movie.
Secondly, as the heroine of "Suicide Squad", the crazy side of the character in the film is played very well.
She would not hesitate to change clothes in front of hundreds of big men (by the way, she also sold meat to the audience, but no audience would not like to watch it?)
Sometimes I will deliberately sell cute.
But the fights are also quite fierce.
Most importantly, she still has a clown boy who has been trying to save her.
Of course, the clown, who was originally known for his madness, became like a "love saint" in this movie, which did cause a lot of controversy at the time.
But this is not a problem, because many female audiences love to watch his love scenes with Harley Quinn.
Not to mention that the clown has been trying to save Harley from the whole movie, just the chemical jumping part "You jump and I jump" is enough to add a lot of points to this pair of CPs.
It can be said that the film "Suicide Squad" has made the role of Harley Quinn popular. In the comic exhibition after the film was released, almost all people can be seen in the role of COS , and you can also know that Harley Quinn has the role of COS. How hot.
Of course, a Harley Quinn's performance is not enough to make "Suicide Squad" a good movie, and it is not enough to make it a good reputation, but it is not a problem to make it more box office, after all, Harley Quinn This character is for all ages and all genders.
