I only saw the 1st one about 3 or 4 years ago. Thought it was a hot mess and kind of a waste of time. Is the new one that much better? I appreciate all comments but please indicate whether you've seen both, thanks.
That's generally my view too with some exceptions. The 1st two Iron Mans, the 1st Guardians of the Galaxy, 1st Avengers to name a few. I like Science Fiction as a genre and if the movies are done well, their comic book origins don't really bother me. The Action/Superhero genre got to be too much for me and haven't seen a new one in quite some time. Not a fan of Walking Dead or the way overdone Zombie genre in general. I did like Zombieland, however.
I like big budget movies for their special effects, surround sound finally utilising all my speakers (opposed to hard drama where there is an occasional knock on the door that you hear from rear channel, and 99% of sound is coming from center channel)...
But I agree, this one was awful. I couldn't even watch it to the end. Very boring.
For some reason it succedeed financially with almost 425 million dollar profit. There is your answer.
It's a promising franchise and they fluffed it with the first movie so the hope is that they can nail it with a reboot.
I've heard generally good things and I think James Gunn is a great fit for this type of movie so it's promising.
The DC films in my opinion have been mediocre to fairly terrible so it would be good to see them get a win on the board.
Yup, agree with others, the reason for any reboot is that someone perceives there is money to be made. Of course, that doesn’t automatically preclude it from being a decent film.
I have seen the latest one and all i can say is Meh!
It's really silly, over the top but does not take itself seriously. Its almost (or tries to be) a comedy.
Last I saw, IMDB had rated it over 7 which is generous. Very, generoud. Extremely, generous. I'd rate it a 5 ...at best

I'd give the new Suicide Squad a 6/10 rating. There's enough fresh ideas to elevate the really basic story and clunky dialog and I was generally entertained throughout.
The original Suicide Squad was terrible: 2/10. I was bored and fell asleep in the theater.
Also - because this is ASR and as a group we are on the spectrum ... I don't think this is technically a reboot. Its just another Suicide Squad story in the same universe.
