| 12.30.16 | Internet | I guess this was the extended cut... it's was 135 minutes. I don't know if they added 40 minutes of the gang walking down deserted streets or what but it felt like 80% of the movie to me. For real, so much walking. So... I didn't really like this. The overall tone was not pleasurable for me. It's kind of like each character got different notes on what kind of comic book movie this was gonna be, so sometimes it's super camp talking to uber gritty. Like the flashback where Diablo's wife was somehow surprised that he was up to no good WHEN HIS ENTIRE FACE IS TATTOOED TO LOOK LIKE A SKULL... didn't really work for me. And I really didn't love Leto's take on the joker. I really didn't like his "laughing" affectation. The whole design felt skeevy and meth-y to me. All these on-the-nose tattoos and set decorations too. And I liked a lot of Ayer's previous work... it just seems like he didn't survive the big budget machine. It was all over the place and fell apart. |
