At one point about 2/3rds of the way through, Will Smith says "When will it end?" and I'm thinking "Yes, Will, when will this end??????????" It really did feel like (matching reports of the last few days) it was sort of reordered/reedited. Joker shows up and then disappears for 40+ minutes, at one point... i actually liked it. that story about it being re-edited to shit by the bigwigs really rings true. i felt like there was a really good movie in there but they chopped it up into fish bait. it tried way too hard to be like the trailers with catchy songs behind montages for the entire first half of the film and a whole lotta stuff is explained unnecessarily out of order, like who the fuck the bad guys are. but the scenes themselves and the acting were surprisingly good to me. i would gripe with harley's writing though - she tried a little too hard with the harley-isms, and her relationship with joker, frankly, wasn't fucked up enough. surprised how much i liked will smith as deadshot though. i'll be really interested to see the director's cut. I'd agree with almost everything you wrote, other than I really didn't like the final product on screen. I could easily see the potential there, but something clearly went wrong along the way... I have to wonder ho much they spent on the soundtrack, only to use 10-15 second snipits... I enjoyed it, but it certainly had some problems. The story felt pretty disjointed at times as they struggled to establish characters and move the plot forward. Jared Leto's Joker came across like they didn't know what the hell to do except trying not to mimic Ledger's joker. Margot Robbie and Will Smith were the stand outs IMO, Robbie more so, but Smith carried scenes well enough. I liked the lady playing Waller too. If I watched this at home I probably would have taken a few breaks... Funny you mention the music. All I could think of when it was happening was a bunch of execs going, 'Let's get a bunch of clips from songs people like and jam them right at the beginning. That'll keep them from walking out in the first few minutes.' This comment was edited on Aug 6, 2016, 22:37.
