WyattSheepMask Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 In the age we live in were everyone films everything on their phones, surely some footage of him 'practising' scary laughs in public would have surfaced. Any time I read something like that I tend to lean towards them being bullshit to try and show the actor taking the part seriously. I also don't believe that Leto didn't watch Ledger's version of the character as to avoid comparison. Quote

Lots of bits removed or recut. Would have made a massive difference to the joker, if leto could have pulled it off any better is the big question. Edited August 18, 2016 by quote the raven Quote

WyattSheepMask Posted August 18, 2016 Posted August 18, 2016 In Suicide Squad, the scene were Joker is laying on the ground surrounded by the circle of when pond was what got me. It's a cool visual & all, but it makes no ounce of sense. Everything laid out like someone with OCD had done it Quote

Paid Members lambyUK Posted August 19, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Finally managed to watch Suicide squad last night and all in all enjoyed it. I thought the entire cast were very good with what they had to play with, but the flaws were obvious and already mentioned. The soundtrack just pissed me off as it was just unrelenting. There was no pacing and sense to the songs used and seemed just shoved in in an attempt to try and copy the guardians formula. I actually liked most of the songs but they just took away from the actual scene. Leto's Joker suffered from shocking editing though. For me the way the Joker sporadically popped in and out of the story on top of the pounding soundtrack or visuals that often accompanied his scenes took away from his performance. His appearances had no build up and I believe that with the right editing his performance would have been a hell of a lot creepier than it came across. I think with the correct editing Leto could eventually become a very good Joker. Edited August 19, 2016 by lambyUK Quote

DJM Posted August 19, 2016 Posted August 19, 2016 Leto has joined the cast of the new Blade Runner film, so he might not be coming back to do any more DC films (in the near future). I would like to see him in the next Batman movie though, just to see how he would be with a little more screen time. Quote

Is he just being a thin skinned bitch about his shitty performance, or does he have valid points? Quote
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted August 19, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 19, 2016 Lads, I’ve watched this movie thrice. Besides the fact Ayer can really do no wrong in my eyes, It’s a decent flick and thoroughly enjoyable. Agree with Muttoner there on the soundtrack though. It’s like some 17 year olds’ iPod on shuffle and is quite disconcerting, but besides that and Letos‘ pantomime Joker, it’s a nice way to pass a couple hours and certainly not some celluloid Holocaust that people are labeling it as. But I am very, very disheartened that Robbie's bumcheeks were CGI.I don’t really heave the stomach out of myself to celebrities anymore, but that was one that would have gotten the pause/fwd slo-mo x16 treatment on my media player, had they been legit.

To be fair, I should delete my "right director" comment from my last post as you're completely right. From what I saw none of the faults I found would fall on him. Regarding Robbie's arse CGI, I think the CGI was for the TV spots to cover up her arse, rather than the other way around. Edited August 19, 2016 by lambyUK Quote

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted August 19, 2016 Paid Members Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Given my extensive googling of her. There are plenty of paparazzi shots during filming showing those were indeed the real deal short shorts. See you in 6 weeks, Scott. Edited August 19, 2016 by ColinBollocks Quote
