Very much liking Harlie

yeah, that works

I actually kinda want to see this film in cinemas now.
That could just be my love for Queen talking, though.

Awesome. Just awesome. Harley is going to make this film I think, butthe whole thing almost looks to me like everything I'd hoped Deadpool would be.

I'm looking for the Deadshot action.

August can't come fast enough, man.

Pretty sure Deadpool is on track to be the movie it's supposed to be. Ryan Reynolds? Check. Blind Al? Check. Weasel? Check. Ajax as the baddy? Check. Vanessa Carlisle as the love of his life early on, and possibly having a stripper's/hooker's background? Check.

Ok, so it has Colossus and the teenage psycho girl. But I can work with that. They're making a classic Deadpool movie. Not the garbage that's been coming out recently. I'm bummed if a couple of you don't appreciate the awesome it will be. But it's a bummer for you. Not me or 95% of the people who go to see it.


And the Suicide Squad movie looks fun. Leto looks like a more believable Joker in this now. The early images didn't instill confidence, but this trailer does.

Agreed - they are BOTH looking WAY better than I initially thought they looked!

Color me unimpressed. Looks like a bizarre attempt to mirror Guardians of the Galaxy. And those dialogue snippets. Just ugh.
The first trailer at least attempted to keep it dark and sort of edgy. This just looks like a by the numbers action romp =/

Actors always claim that they had a great time working on a film, but in this case I think the SS cast might have had as much fun as they've been saying. Looks insane in a great way.

I dig the panda suit and the eyeball mask.

Well, except for those times where they received gifts from the Joker during the filming process


And yeah... THIS trailer makes this movie look a lot better. I can't quite say I'm excited for it, because well, I have almost exactly 1 month until I see Deadpool.... but I will probably see this one for sure.

Still wish they'd gone with a Brooklyn accent for Harlie.

Will do!

What color would that be though?

Bottle?

Harvest grape, dark nutmeg, melted caramel, fresh sage?

I know where you're coming from, but outside of Brooklyn, that accent isn't as...charming as you'd think.

I think because she's a bad guy, it would work, and not really be "charming" in any way...


Keep in mind that Captain Steve Rogers is supposedly from Brooklyn as well. But I guess getting a lethal dose of Super Soldier Serum would give anyone a star-spangled accent as well

Ha!

Good points!

That accent is always charming.

Yeah, it's disappointing that Margot Robbie's not doing the accent.

And that's my only complaint about what we've seen of her Harley. And pretty much everything else.

It's going to be a long wait until August.

If you listen closely, there's hints of the accent in a couple of the clips; the voices bit, for one. The impression I'm getting is that it's been massively toned down from the cartoon (because a two hour live action film of that would get grating), but it'll still be there a bit. Also bear in mind that I don't think we hear Harley say more than a single sentence at a time in that trailer, and you're not going to get the full impression from that short of a clip.

I was happier with Harley until this trailer. Now she kind of comes across as generic mental illness instead of her specific issues. Hopefully it is just the trailer.

I actually agree. The characterization feels a bit off, and the movie seems like you could take it out of the DC universe completely and it wouldn't affect it.

I still don't like Joker with a grill either, which is a shame because I think Leto is going to be a great Joker otherwise.

But don't you know he is damaged?

I don't mind the ink so much as it seems like they went for the worst, most on-the-nose, tattoos.

Again hoping in the theater it will seem better, and I am curious about his performance, but at the moment I am concerned (slightly).

From reading various "on set" articles, I'm not so much worried about his performance, as the overall look. I agree that tattoos are great, but I'm not sold on *those* tattoos.

I am a lot more convinced about Leto Joker having seen this trailer, especially the shot of him in the suit I think definitely looks the part. Every Joker is going to pale in comparison with Ledger and with Hamill's voice work, but I think Leto's looks to be taking elements from both and that could work really well.

Right. The tattoo's are, I think, meant to be an homage to stuff from print, but on the character they seem a bit silly.

His laugh, when he's lying on the floor, is fantastic.

Agreed... and then the brief glimpse of him diving into the... thing.... followed with what looks to be him pulling/holding harley in a pool, with their makeup kinda swirling around them looks like they are gonna get a bit of their infamous romance on screen.

Did DC finally get a super hero move right and realize they are supposed to be FUN.
This looks like a dark, more brtual GOTG.

You might want to read a few comics as they vary in tone wildly...including DC's.

Yes yes I know I know.
But super hero movies, especially the ones suceeding embrace being FUN and exciting. not dark and brooding and missing the point of the hero entirely and no i wont get over Man Of Steel.

 hotsauceman1 wrote:

Because you have horrible taste.

Honestly I don't even know what 'FUN and exciting' is supposed to mean, considering how generic a description it is. Is it a euphemism for boring and insignificant?

Did you watch Winter Soldier? Or the entire Dark Knight trilogy?
