An unexpected film, word of mouth exploded.
Rotten Tomatoes has a freshness rating of 92% and an audience reputation of 84%.
Even Douban maintained a good score of 8.2 points.
Click on the comment area, full of praise from netizens.
There is more praise on douban.
In a word:
Calling it "the first cool film of the year" is not an exaggeration at all —
Task Force X: Full Assemblage
The Suicide Squad
I said I didn't expect it because this previous work was really indisputable.
5 years ago, "Suicide Squad" Douban only scored 6.6 points, and Rotten Tomatoes freshness was only a pitiful 26%.
Fans and viewers expressed dissatisfaction.
By the time this sequel came, the director replaced it with James Gunn, who shot Guardians of the Galaxy, and gave him a great deal of creative freedom.
To put it bluntly, this time the director wants to shoot how to shoot, how to shoot.
As a result, he completely released himself and achieved a great reversal of word of mouth.
Here's what a "suicide squad" is.
As a comic book movie, the biggest feature of this film is that -
The protagonists are a group of supervillains, not superheroes.
They are all thorns in the head of various superhero stories, and finally caught in prison by superheroes.
These guys are also all with special skills and super combat power.
In order not to waste their talents, the Pokénen were gathered up and organized into a squad that obeyed the government's orders to complete special tasks.
Of course, after all, they are all criminals and cannot be easily believed.
Everyone will be fitted with miniature bombs in their heads to ensure they are under control.
If they succeed in completing the mission, they can also exchange it for a reduction in sentence.
The mission was to conduct an investigation in a Latin American island nation.
At the beginning of the story, the director came to a counter-routine.
A suicide squad marched confidently.
As a result, the regiment was destroyed.
？？？
It's all guys who are strong and useless.
For example, this uncle.
The first shot in the opening scene is him.
His eyes were sharp and his hands were strong, and he thought he was a fierce character.
As a result, when it reached the front line, it was instigated.
Defected and was directly detonated in the head by the government.
And this big brother.
The expression is the most dragging, and the look is also very powerful.
As a result, there were no two moves, and it hung up.
The funniest thing is this weasel.
Can't speak, eat a lot of children, get rid of a beast alive.
As a result, as soon as I got off the plane, I drowned...
I can't swim!
The opening 10 minutes were almost dead.
True Suicide Squad...
That's right, the above cannon fodder characters are really here to be funny.
They attracted almost all of the enemy's firepower.
Let the second team landing on the other side take advantage of the void.
The second team itself couldn't understand why they had sneaked in so easily.
They are the protagonists.
From the perspective of strength, these few are much more reliable than the first team.
Captain Bloody Campaign, a top killer without emotion.
Once used a special bullet to hit Superman into the ICU.
Can turn what you have in your hand into a weapon.
Messenger of Peace, also a top killer.
He has the most extreme concept of peace.
Willing to kill anyone in order to maintain peace.
The second generation of mousetraps, a sleepy little girl.
Can communicate with rats and summon and control them.
Shark King, contributed 80% of the cute points of the whole film.
The biggest preference is to eat people, and what you want most is to make friends.
It is worth mentioning that it was Stallone who voiced it.
Polka dot people, as the name suggests, attack by firing polka dots.
In terms of combat strength, he is considered to be the hidden strong man in the team.
Their mission is to infiltrate a Latin American country and eliminate their most threatening biological and chemical weapons.
Of course, the captain of the first team and the clown girl, Harley Quinn, had to be rescued.
The overall plot is not complicated.
But the film can be said to be high-energy throughout, and every minute and every second is full of fun.
Here we have to mention the director of this film, James Gunn.
James Gunn
Put aside throughout Hollywood, James Gunn is a very offbeat, unconventional commercial director.
He once used his own unique style to make the originally unappreciated "Guardians of the Galaxy" a hit.
Injecting new blood into Marvel movies, not to mention, even laid a nostalgic + sand sculpture style for the subsequent Marvel series.
When he makes movies, the core is "play".
How to enjoy, how to play.
Guardians of the Galaxy
In this film, he lets himself go again.
Prove with strength that your imagination has no boundaries.
For example, in the film, a unique action scene for the clown girl was designed.
Single-handedly picking out an army, the sprayed blood became a petal effect of the girl's heart.
So cruel, so cute, so like.
Compared to other DC films, the strengths of this film are obvious.
James Gunn infinitely amplifies the black humor and extreme violence of Suicide Squad itself.
Marvel didn't let him play, and he all played a lot this time.
For example, a bite to eat a person.
Cut off both heads with a knife.
Even tear a person apart by hand.
Representative of Chinese film culture output - "Hand Tearing Devil"
The second is the ubiquitous little humor.
James Gunn's best humor is to cover up awkward moments with all kinds of nonsense.
Coupled with some unexpected plot arrangements, the contrast is used to form a sense of humor.
This has been well demonstrated in Guardians of the Galaxy.
In this film, it has been upgraded more than one notch.
For example, several people were suddenly attacked.
Driver Milton was killed.
Sad?
No, only the polka dot people were sad for a little while.
The captain looked incredulous:
Why did he still follow us?
The Joker Woman is even more outrageous:
Who is Milton?
It's not plastic camaraderie, it's just passers-by.
The best part is that this film portrays the characters in a very rich way.
Because they're all villains.
They are always on the side of pure evil, and how to portray this group of evil people as flesh and blood requires a level.
Suicide Squad failed in this place before.
Everyone wanted to introduce well, but they lost sight of each other, and only one or two characters were remembered by everyone.
Suicide Squad
In Birds of Prey and Harley Quinn, the problem is even worse.
Originally a movie made because of the popularity of the Clown Girl, everyone became the foil of the Clown Girl.
However, the clown girl's noisy nature is infinitely magnified, only to make people feel that she is noisy.
Birds of Prey and Harley Quinn
And in this film, the treatment of the clown girl is just right.
A short love, a romantic MV is enough.
A wonderful prison break, a neat action scene is enough.
In an instant, the charm of the clown girl is vividly displayed.
In addition to popular characters such as Clown Girl, other supporting characters also have their own memory points.
Take The Shark King, for example.
He said he had no friends and wanted friendship the most.
He would use clay explosives to pinch him into the form of a messenger of peace and show him overtures.
You'll also run to the aquarium and frolic with a group of colorful mutants of small fish.
Although the Shark King is fierce on the outside, he is very naïve on the inside.
And the bloody lessons he experienced also made him understand what a "friend" is.
In the end a true friendship was harvested.
Large scale, bad taste, crazy imagination, and vivid and interesting characters.
It can be said that the addition of James Gunn has indeed brought new vitality to DC.
And this film can get such a high score, not only because of a brainless cool.
In fact, it has touched countless audiences with a delicate warmth in many places.
The final climax of the film is that the second generation of rat catchers summons the whole process of rats, and the swarm rushes up to pounce on the final boss.
Before that, the boss borrowed the parasite to say his goal -
"The city is mine."
But the rat catcher vetoed it, saying:
"The city is theirs."
Yes, rats.
These little guys are despised in the dark, underground.
Don't be afraid, the rats here are actually a metaphor for the countless poor, depressed, and dirty people at the bottom of the world.
Most of the members of the suicide squad were born and raised from here, and embarked on the path of crime in order to survive.
This is not their own wish.
The most ironic thing is that the final boss of this film, the "Pie Star" from an alien planet, is also involuntary.
A sentence before death instantly speaks of sadness in the past.
"I've also been happy, floating freely, looking up at the stars."
Yes, it was also a victim of biological experiments that the government had captured.
After decades of torture, he finally blackened into a great demon that wanted to occupy the human chassis.
The biggest success of the film is also here.
Instead of treating these villains as a simple, funny villain, it shows their multifaceted nature.
This also allowed them to finally change from evil to righteousness and complete the redemption.
Being able to portray such a group of fierce and vicious monsters is so vivid and full of charm.
Let us watch it cool at the same time, but also harvest a full of emotions.
Such a big cool movie, what a bicycle!
