Shut up and take my money

Voice actor for CGI character? Bit part?

I dunno, I'm curious and interested, but I doubt he's getting lead billing or anything awesome.

Another part in the never-ending emancipation of Harley Queen and fantabolous "I don't give a ****" reaction of the rest of the world?

[Leo656]

Maybe after this fiasco they'll replace her with Jared Leto.

[MikeandRaph87]

I just wanted a better lineup of villains. Polka Dot Man? 2 appearances and the 2nd was a joke. Ratcatcher is not a young woman, but a man named Otis Flannegan. Why gender flip? Bronze Tiger, Plastique,Chronos, Poison Ivy, Dr. Light, Killer Frost. Heck, Trickster even though he was not a part of it like Killer Croc was not before. This lineup sucks! Sorry, had to get it out of my system. Maybe we can get a heroclix set based on the comic team.

This will be Margot Robbie's last film as Harley for a while, as she's burnt out on the role.

Good I am sick of her as Harley myself

[ZariusTwo]

Review is in

https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a3...-squad-review/

No references to Birds of Prey and no sequel hook building. Perfectly standalone, and all the better for it

[AquaParade]

I will be interested if it's not just DC's Guardians of the Galaxy, with gore. Those films don't do much for me. Glad to see it is doing well though, because they gave Gunn a lot of freedom to do his thing and that's cool.

[ZariusTwo]

That was a good time. I'm not usually impressed by Gunn's Marvel work, but he suits this franchise very well.

Spoiler:

I love how absolute zero fs were given about how ridiculous some of the characters were and they trusted the audience to roll with it. Best arc duties are shared by just about everyone as they all had something for you to invest in, find heart-warming, comic, tragic etc.

A few complaints is that, other than How Harley's 'romance' went and figuring out her purpose with the Javelin, which amounted to just 'do the right thing' in the end, there isn't much else the character does that requires them to be there other than audience familiarity. Also they wasted Capaldi, and Waller doesn't get to do much, and only blows one of the Squad up. I did like that she got her come-uppance though, and I'm curious that they don't exactly show what happened to the one who twatted her when we rejoin the team

So did the press say the Peacemaker series was a prequel to hide the fact he makes it out of the movie alive at the very end?

She can call it a break if she wants. There are presently no more Harley Quinn movies on the docket.

What a waste of a good character. And all, because, ****tards wanted to shoehorn "important messages into movies". Well, "go woke, go broke", as they say.

[Andrew NDB]

After Suicide Squad Harley Quinn should have appeared in a low key role in a Batman movie with the Joker, then something like Gotham City Sirens by now. Certainly not Birds of Prey (and a Birds of Prey that doesn't even f***ing have Barbara Gordon???) and certainly not making her some kind of role model for young women or a gravitational force for the DCEU.

Years later and we're only finally now getting a Batman movie and it has nothing to do with any other movies (also, it may end up being a woke thing). Dumb.

[Andrew NDB]

Just saw the movie. First thoughts? That was pretty awesome.

That Ratcatcher chick kind of stole the show a little.

[NinjaPug]

That Peacemaker / Bloodsport competition scene at the camp killed me. I’ll definitely watch the Peacemaker show. Between this and Blockers I think Cena’s got some pretty good comedic acting chops.

Agreed that Ratcatcher stole the show - thought Polka-Dot Man did too.

[CyberCubed]

Movie had a lot of fun scenes mentioned, also when Harley was captured/tortured and then took everyone out in that building in the army base. Those were all great scenes. Harley's character was also at her best in this movie, it also shows how a good director can handle her, she wasn't that interesting in the first movie or the Birds of Prey movie. I think her actress also nailed Harley's smile in this movie too, it looked straight out of the comics or Injustice 2 videogame.

The final

Spoiler:

Starro boss fight

was great. The CG looked really good (this scene will age well even 10 years from now), and I liked the way they took it out.

Only one small thing I didn't like with Amanda Waller

Spoiler:

being treated like a villain

since IMO she would have actually wanted them to go back in the end of the movie. Amanda Waller is supposed to have a good heart under the cold exterior, so I wish that part didn't happen in the movie.

Annnnnnd it's bombed

Covid-19 and HBO Max were the double whammy for theater box office. Or people who just watch it online on illegal streaming websites which is likely millions of people.

[Coola Yagami]

So I take, despite the same actress, this Harley is not the same Harley from the first Suicide Squad/Birds of Prey?

Definitely is. There just aren't any references to Suicide Squad 1 or Birds of Prey beyond, #1: a pre-existing fondness for Boomerang, and #2: references to her previous boyfriend and what she promised herself afterward. Obviously she only broke up with the Joker in 1 movie and that movie is Birds of Prey.

"... amid challenges posed by the delta variant and a hybrid theatrical-home launch." Well, they're not wrong about the latter. About the former? LOL! Give me a break.
