Some of the character back stories are great, others not so much. Players can now assemble an all-star team of Super-Villains with the first playable debut of the assassin Deadshot and Suicide Squad skins of fan-favorites The Joker and Harley Quinn.

Since his first film role in 1992, Smith has been in 25 films, nine of which were summer movies in which he was the star.
“The Suicide Squad movie that premieres this weekend is loaded with some of DC Comics’ best bad guys, but the character that steals the show isn’t a guy at all – it’s Margot Robbie’s Harley Quinn”. “If the fans like it then we did our job”.
Mallrats director Smith seems to be one of the few who actually like the movie. I know I know it’s a “Squad” so every person is equally important. And hopefully they’ll see the light of day … who knows? The same can be said about Killer Croc.
In Sweden, also on a non-traditional Wednesday, the kick-off was $564K on 147 screens, for a 53% share of the Top 5 films. They treat the audience like we’re kids who need to be guided every step of the way and need a nice clichéd supposedly amusing one liner. The film ultimately gets a bit out of control in some narrative and special effect areas, but that’s what these films do, I suppose.
Action scenes were done rather well and when it went down, it was thoroughly enjoyable.
Cara Delevign’s Enchantress made an excellent appearance. “In the position I’m in now where I have to be so careful with everything I do and say”.
Yesterday, we reported that Suicide Squad cost $175 million and that it would need to earn $750-800 million just to break even. Maybe that’s the standard now. So when something lovely briefly emerged from Leto’s tattooed clown cocoon-like a series of photos that seemed to show him falling, childlike, into love at first sight with the lime-green Gucci coat he was later seen wearing at the movie’s London premiere-we grabbed onto it and held on for dear life.
You can watch one of those cut Jared Leto Joker scenes here.
The movie has been hyped so much that I am sure everyone knows basically what it is about, but to recap: in the wake of Superman’s death Amanda Waller puts together a team of criminals with powers and skills that the United States government can use when required.
Meanwhile the film managed a meager 33 per cent on Rotten Tomato which has angerered dedicated fans who have come out against the website for aggregating such bad reviews and want it to shut down. But, since we have had such an fantastic Joker in the past (In my opinion, the best Joker) Heath Ledger, one naturally draws a comparison.
