But maybe its just his taste or it works better when watching the movie  |
Same I loved Gravity and Fury's soundtrack they were very sweeping and grandiose. So I was excited for him to do SS.
Hopefully it is just a matter of taste and the majority of fan's end up liking it! I'd hate to get a generic OST ala the MCU.
Let's hope he leaks something from it so we can get a peek.

I'm really interested in how Cara's Enchantress will be in the film. It seems like a lot of test screenings didn't like her.
This looks so cool though.

Mini review by BoxOfficeZ he's reliable but don't take his review so seriously. Bottom line is he liked it says is better than MOS and BVS but that TDK is still the superior D.C movie,and it's nothing like an MCU movie
 reviewLiked it. My first reaction upon leaving the screening? Well, that was a blast.
In context with the DC "universe", obviously it takes place after BvS (barring flashbacks). Few references to Superman and easter eggs of course.
How was everyone?
Character wise these are the standouts to me: My favorites have to be Joker and Croc. Quinn was great as I expected. Boomerang, Katana, Diablo I liked in their respective personas. Deadshot didn't make a huge impression on me honestly (he had some really cheesy lines though LOL). Chemistry wise the Squad is very very solid, though there was this one "relationship" in the movie was about as convincing as a brick wall and a car making love. Did not work lol. Costumes were cool all around.
Leto pulls off his Joker fantastically. Maybe too well. He's insanely scary sometimes. Robbie HELL YES PERFECT. Will Smith as Will Smith says hi. Even Courtney managed to work out. Davis makes Waller.
The movie had a sort of a serious gritty tone but there's humor as well. Pacing was nice, movie felt like it flew by to me. Maybe a little too quickly. Action was done well. No stupid shake-cameras-till-your-head-hurts moments. The music was a nice mixture of familiar songs (trailer music is in for example) and of course the movie soundtrack itself. Though besides one or two pieces the score IMO didn't really stand out to me which is a shame because really liked Price's previous work.
Compared with marketing? Joker is being overpromoted compared with his respective screentime in the movie. And the film is not as wacky as one would assume from the marketing. Batman shouldn't even be in any trailer honestly since he wasn't exactly a main character but he definitely had his moments . The CGI got changed quite a bit from a few trailer scenes (like the chopper). And much of it was improved as well obviously. EDIT: There's a ton of gun use compared with punching, but that was fairly obvious just from the marketing.
A friend of mine said he liked it as well. Though this guy isn't a comic book movie fan, so I refrained from hassling him about the various aspects of the film. The screening was about half full.
If you're expecting an oscar winning movie go somewhere else. If you're expecting a fairly straight forward competent action comic book movie with a gritty tone and some cool characters, sure this movie might work for you. If you're expecting a carbon copy of say a typical MCU film, yeah this isn't it either. I give props to Ayer.
Really liked it and looking forward to seeing it again. Maybe as a comparison: TDK > SS. BVS < SS. MOS < SS. Not sure if I should give it a rating. Might change expectations.

This honestly isn't telling me anything that I don't already know/can't be assumed by someone. He did the same thing with BvS. Gave no real details so he couldn't be wrong.  Probably because in his TFA 'review' he said Luke spoke and was shook when he was wrong
Not saying he's not telling the truth, it's just sus that he's giving the bare minimum.

This person said the track is called 'Harley and Joker' but there's no track called 'Harley and Joker' on the OST.

Dddd yeah I followed BOZs review of BvS and I think I remember him hinting that as well....
From early test screenings on Twitter and even someone who posted a review on Letterboxd said they didn't like the villain and that it was laughably bad. We will see though, I liked her in Paper Towns.
