Well, I just saw the trailer for James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, and it looks pretty underwhelming. Is this movie going to suck? Join me as I break it down.

Here's the thing you have too remember: James Gunn is extremely good at pulling off the fake out. When we all saw the Guardians of the Galaxy's very first trailer, we thought it wouldn't be so good but it was, just ad you said. Hes not a cinematic messiah of any kind at all so don't take me wrong. I agree with 95% of what you've said here and typically your right about something like this. So I'm gonna reserve my criticism for after the movie comes out and bombs big time lmao.
Try actually watching the movie before you decide you dont like it. This is just a review of the trailer not the movie. This isnt a comedy. You clearly dont know the charcters and dont understand comic book movies yet shit all over it anyways before actually seeing it which I find really weird. I have a feeling that some people will just automatically hate hate hate anything DC puts out no matter what before it even gets released.
it's going to be far superior to birds of prey that's all I care about
You ever consider that you're just incapable of enjoying some harmless fun? Give it a try.
Do a vid about Invincible from PrimeVideo
This guy kept talking about John Cena But I can't see him
I must have missed the memo... Is it cool to hate on Idris Elba now? Has the Drinker even SEEN The Wire?
Can't be funny when you don't get the joke
I'm glad someone is being honest
Its a mess for Harley Quinn, the best development and narrative I've seen for her is in the Batman White Knight comic series.
Looks like it will be a fun movie to me.
I think the trailer has more to go on then the original. I'm not looking forward to it but I will watch it
Played out formula of grabbing a bunch of d listers making a team or group adding dick jokes and violence then expecting a hit
He is way better then will Smith. Hater
Lets be honest, did it impress anyone?
wait... they made another suicide squad movie? O_o
Uwite gurl worth saving blk gurl masculine🙄.
The sinder cut is garbage .the first movie we got wasnt great either but alot better then the shameless sinder cut . the sinder cut is only liked because there distance from the fix version.
I'm sure it will be even worse than the first movie.
Saw the trailer and my reaction was like "WTF is this?" It looks bland and forgettable, I doult it will be a major sucess with such a bland trailer, its not exactly going to get butts in seats, I felt similar about Shazam, it just comes across as something that never should of been green lighted, its obvious no one at Wanner knows what to do with the DC characters, there is no plan, they clearly lack confidance in their people or they are hiring the cheepest and baddest writers around to write their scripts and hoping for masterpieces to be produced but all they keep producing is trash! The Snyder cut was a good, sure it might be extremely long but it was a good story in general, but my main beef with the DC EU is that Wanner have pretty much been in a blind panic since the first Avengers movie, instead of setting up the Justice League characters in solo films, they took the hop, skip and jump approch that resulted in them landing flat on their faces and just when they try and get back up and dust themselves off, they fall over, again and again! The reason Marvel suceeded was simply because they set out a road map prior and set up three primary characters before hand, well techinally four, but that up for debate and then united them with the surporting characters in one film, plus they also had some talanted actors whose names have become household names and forever linked to their respected characters, Wanner, they haven't been able to achive that with their actors because the movie they been in, haven't been that great and mostly forgettable.
You're off base on this one.
"The thinking man's Will Smith" made me uncomfortable. I'm not sure why. Could you explain?
It looks worse than the first one.
DC be like: 📈📉📈📉📉📉📉
One of my little regrets in life was buying 3 tickets for me, my bro and cousin to see the first suicide squad. That was the first movie that caused me to check my watch multiple times throughout to see when the shitshow was close to ending. I have never seen any other DC film since
In old 50's narration voice: Welcome to the 21st century, where Harley Quinn, a wannabe anti-hero, who was never meant to be a character like that, gets more screen time, than Superman in his own movieverse.
The comics boomerang is the best character because he would do anything to escape the I mean anythings
I wish I could like the video everytime you say a sentence!
I like the shark
That shark looks so obviously CG it stands out too much
I actually think this will be good because King shark is a Shark.
Even if it sucks let’s admit it will be better then the first one.
John Cena is great! (He was the best thing about 'Trainwreck'.) As far as James Gunn, the first thing that comes to my mind is p3d0.
@Henny DaWillow // 'Cause everyone knows how p3d0philia is just the most hilarious subject matter. 😂👍🏾
Kinda sounds like don't understand the concept of a joke
it’s a trailer
They just seem desperate to make anything out of Harley Quinn no matter how much it doesn't work.
She makes DC alot of money of course they're going to use her
I’m starting to feel like the only person who’s actually excited for this movie. Maybe people should give it a chance?
So, I'm not alone who didn't liked the trailer.
Can you review "Evolution"? Remember that one?
Wow they done King Shark dirty. And let’s cut the crap, this is Harley Quinn ft. Suicide Squad. Tell me the movie is R rated and all it does to earn that is have Harley say “Fuck” every 5 minutes again?
We want DC dark right because that's what made it freakin DC. Marvel already has that comedic childish trademark let em have it.
I miss movies that can stand on their own without 50 sequels and a contrived spin off series.
WB has been going down that disney hole. Not looking good.
Idris Elba is an amazing actor what is this guy talking about lol
Dude I thought I was the only one. Every comment I saw was just jizzing all over this movie but it's the definition of meh. I definitely give you a guardians of the galaxy vibe but way worse.
Did james gunn even read any of the comics?!? Suicide squad is funny but is all dark humor and king shark in the animated movies was dumb but badass and even looked awesome .....in here he looks like something that belong on a kids movie ....deadshot is an it serious i give them that but the rest of the cast are a huge miss from the comics and animated movies lol ...movies like suicide squad need a director like snyder to make it work
i am at an awe to who thinks this humor is funny
God this movie looks terrible 😞
standards have been lowered so much that being a competent director and making above average movies can paint you into this god tier director status.
So... what are we? Some sorta Guardians of the- I mean, Suicide Squad?
This is what happens to comedy when the pc police control the court of public opinion.
that anthropomorphic cat would be real good for a creature feature horror tbh, it looked creepy as hell
Guess im easily impressed because I fucking loved this trailer...which is weird because till now I have hated the trailers of all DCEU movies till date and also hated most DCEU movies. Hope this movie is actually a bit good and funny
Joke is still giong. & joke still going.. LOL True to much bright color for me..
How did actors of the quality of Elba and Tipaldi end up in this crap?
"Because I'm Scottish, I only get to experience human emotions 2 or 3 times a year". I really LoLd on that one!
I dont like he made king shark groot, do they know king shark speaks normaly?
Idris Alba....is charismatic though. Extremely charismatic.
"im aware of the effect i have on women"
I'm fairly certain vore isn't a mainstream thing, so I'm betting the "shark can eat a man whole" thing is going to turn off more people than it brings in.
Meh neither...overkill with im a trying too hard to be cool movue aint cool...tha fuck is goin on with flicks these dayz..fart noise
I have to say i didn't not like 2016 Suicide Squad. Except maybe Letos Joker. Could've done without that.
Harley's Quinn is a good character but Warner bros have ruined her.
"...'shes not going to happen...' thank you Drinker for saying it. The Harley/Margot Robbie 'thing' died in the water. God knows how much was spent on promoting her, hyping her, trying to sell her to little girls in particular only for it to fail miserably. She gets multiple attempts at the brass ring, including this reboot, and Cavill gets shafted. Who is she screwing? Inquiring minds wanna know.
I think some people would throw out a t-bone because its not a sirloin. Ya sirloins might be better but a t-bone can also be enjoyable. Honestly dude, if you dont know who King Shark is then this movie just isnt for you. You are the type that shits on a movie before its even out. edit. wait a minute. 5:10 This is a review of the trailer not the movie. You havnt even seen it. How can you review a movie you have not even seen? You cant shit on something that you havnt seen.
1 WEEK LATE SQUAD WHERE YOU AT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I saw John cena and turn off the trailer
If I'm being honest, I thought the "I can go back in" joke was pretty funny. But hey, no problem if you didn't like it.
if you are looking for a comedy you wont find it here.
James Gunn is awful
@Declan Hanson super is really cool
@Henny DaWillow both tbh😂 his only decent film is the first guardians
Because of his politics or his movies?
Margo Robbie has one job. That is to be full frontal naked. She needs to shut up and take it all off.
Wow
I'm going to admit it. Margot Robbie is not a good Harley Quinn
I think that is the consensus in this comment section
The best Suicide Squad movie was already made. It is the animated movie, Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay. It succeeds by virtue of answering the simple question of "Why don't the super heroes get involved?" and it benefits from using super villains.
Would have been happier to see none of the recurring actors/characters in this.
i understand the criticism and drinker was 100% right about wonderwoman 1984, but its too soon to say although the comedy did not land
Do "blast from the past"
I enjoyed the first suicide squad. It was entertaining and witty.. I thought the story was good. I also keep low expectations for movies like this ,,,,
It's has a very marvel feeling. This isn't marvel, it's DC
Looool
My ex was upset that Jared Leto's apparently not in this one. (We were working together) I recommended that she watch the Snyder cut of Justice League instead if that was all she was looking for.
Yeah, not feeling this new Suicide Squad film either. None of the highlights or jokes hit. Hopefully the trailers aren’t what the film will ultimately be like. Sometimes trailers can be deceptive.
Leto's Joker still makes me cringe out of my flesh. And then the Snyder Cut 'fucking kill you' and 'reach around' with Batman made me cringe out of the fucking solar system.
Still going to be better than is J.J Abrams would of made it
I knew this movie was going to suck as soon as I heard that John Cena was going to be in it.
In 5 years ALL movies will be made by the same 5 directors cleaning up each other's films with the same 15 actors.
whoa DC movies are so bad that they have to be made twice
I thought i was the only one unimpressed. SS1 had so much potential, i actually liked the dark tone but it was a dumpster fire, but this film just looks like a ''ehhh ill pass'' film. But you know what would make me interested in a DC film? If they #restorethesnyderverse
WB killed the DCEU 5 years ago and they've been desperately trying to fix things with reboots, recasts, remakes, etc etc etc... And now they've brought in the cast and directors from the MCU... and it's still not worked. The only common factor with the DCEU movies, are the petty cash officers in WB's head office who think they can edit movies because they once saw a movie once. Edit: People seem to have forgotten... Man Of Steel was only made because WB was about to lose the franchise rights. The movie rights were going to revert back to Siegel and Shuster estates because WB hadn't made a Superman movie for a while. Their contract states they have to make movies every X amount of years or they'll be costing Siegel and Shuster an income. So now we've got the a hastily produced badly executed franchise... off the back of a hastily produced, badly executed movie.
Arrows Deadshot was unsurpassed. That actor did a great job and he felt sympathy for him and that is the reason why I skipped this movie.
Even the name choice is uninspiring.
Why was this movie even green lit the first one sucked and this looks even worse. Margot robbie is a terrible harley quinn.
Stealth demands bright yellow T shirts.
I think this movie will not succeed because I've not seen enough hype Remember that they forgot about el Diablo dying
The problem is Warner Brothers doesn't understand their own properties. Guardians of the Galaxy was a group of opportunistic thieves, assassins and smugglers thrown together due to a galactic mcguffin that could bring about the end of the world and thus, had to band together and fight for something greater than themselves. Sure there was humor, but not enough to undermine the seriousness of the stakes they found themselves in. Suicide Squad however is a group of thieves, assassins and murders who are thrown together for one simple reason, "if you don't, I push this button and blow your head up real good". There's a deep, psychological impact that can be explored here. What does it mean to be a puppet of the U.S. government, forced against your nature to be little more than a black ops wet team, just so the government can keep their hands clean while you bloody yours. How many of these characters ever bother to explore why they're evil or took the path in life they did. Killer Shark for instance, not like he could ever get a job looking like that, and how many heroes would trust him? This movie should not be a comedy, because you have a perfect example of cause and effect duality that you could explore. Deadshot is a master assassin, its the only thing he's good at, so that's what he does, it's the only way he can earn money to support his daughter, but his activities has put him in the crosshairs of every superhero, and the government sponsored Suicide Squad, so his actions have led to his becoming a tool of Waller, and no matter how many times he tries to get out of the situation, he's stuck right where he is. How would that effect him mentally? Emotionally? Psychologically? What about Harley? A once respected psychologist twisted by a psychotic criminal into his sidekick. Does she remember her days of respect and appreciation by her peers? Does she want to break free of the Joker's hold? There is just so much emotional and psychological depth you can explore with these characters. Joker was a study of insanity and it was an amazing movie, but what about a movie that explores mistakes and regret when your trapped in a never-ending cycle of violence that you've been integrated for so long that you don't remember how you got there, you only know that you're on a team where you're odds of survival are zero to none. How depressing is that? How frustrating is that? How terrifying is that? But no, let's just make a movie with a bunch of stupid puns that is a cheap rip off of Guardians of the Galaxy when this story and these characters can explore much deeper themes. Joker was great because it explored the descent of madness, Shazam was fun because it was a campy yet enjoyable movie about family and unity. Honestly, DC does better when they just tell their own stories and stop trying to copy Marvel. But what do I know? I'm just a fan
MARVEL director is going to ruin a DC movie. Also that harley quinn line isn't funny
Its looks fucking awefull, its reminds me of the Josh Weadon "remake" of Justice League, dark and bright movie at the same time. And the jokes in this trailer is just like Guardians of the Galaxy. And ohh who does the Shark remind me off.... I am Grooth, I have a hand! Sure i gonna watch it at home, but with 2x Forward speed button pressed down on my remote controll.
And thanks Critical Drinker for your videos, I enjoy them alot, they are so fucking funny and true. Greetings A Danish Movie Geek.
The first suicide squad was horrid but had some acid estetic to it, this one is gonna be ten times worse and the first sucked already big time
your break down was spot on ! this looks like a steaming pile of dog crap .. james gunn is a hack he puts in some oldies for the sound track / childish 3rd grader jokes and dialog / and some blood and gore thats his recipe ..and it gets boring after you see it the first time ...i did not see the first movie and will not waste my time on this crap
it would be insane to have a critcal drinker review of Boruto, I guess it would be a lot of work, but there is so many things to say about it compared to its predecessor
Called it. Second trailer is way better. This looks awesome.
Booooo boooo your opinion sucks booooo
Harlequin isn't even supposed to be a serious physical threat... Yet now she's Black Widow?
Yes Yes Yes! Exactly what I thought! Thank u, cheers!
Idris is awesome. David Ayer sucks. Trailer looks great. Your reviews are getting stale and predictable. A bit of a one trick pony. But you already know this. I agree Peter Capaldi was wasted on sub par episodes of Doctor Who.
So you're not giving your opinion on the movie... because you haven't seen shit. Why am I not surprised
sigh. they coulda done Section Eight..Six Pack, Dogwelder, the Defenestrator, Bueno Excellante...
I always wondered what happened to Charles Minor after getting fired. Good to know
