While critics mercilessly smashed "Suicide Squad" 2016 years, the sequel to the acclaimed film was released DC. As it turns out, the pictures David Eyre и James Gunn have a huge number of differences, which gives the viewer a lot of food for thought. Let's figure out which tape turned out to be of better quality, and how the two parts of the franchise differ from each other.
It must be said that the film "Suicide Squad: Mission Bullet" experts criticize much less. The first tape, despite the relative financial success, was recognized as a failure, and the second part is already being considered as a more serious movie. James Gunn brought many innovations to the franchise, and also managed to correct some of the shortcomings of his colleague and predecessor, David Eyre.
Unexpected deaths
What attracts fans so much DC cartoon "Suicide Squad"? Of course, the unexpected death of characters who are not immune from death. Usually scriptwriters protect superheroes from unpleasant situations and they rarely go to another world. But the villains working for the state do not have such a privilege.
In this regard, the film "Suicide Squad" disappointed the fans, because it turned out to be not bloody enough - the rare deaths of the group members are not even taken into account. "Mission Through" fixed this bug - James Gunn does not spare the main characters and methodically gets rid of them at the first opportunity.
friendship
В "Suicide Squad" the characters can hardly be called good friends - they did not care about each other at all and were more like random people forced to do a common job. Only the scene in the bar reconciled the band members a bit - their relationship improved, and the understanding came that only together can success be achieved.
"Mission Through" has come a long way in this respect. James Gunn united the villains not only with a common task, but also allowed them to have closer, friendly ties. It is difficult to say whether this was beneficial or not, but each viewer has the right to draw their own conclusions.
Humor
David Eyre known as the creator of serious action films, so you should not expect much fun from his picture "Suicide Squad". On the contrary, the director put fictional characters in the scenery of the real universe and shot another action movie. It's hard to judge David for that, but when iconic characters like Joker и Harley Quinn, the viewer is waiting for a portion of high-quality humor.
У James Gunn everything is different - the characters only sometimes think about really important things, but even in these rare moments, some ridiculous moment happens that defuses the situation. Let's be honest, not all the jokes hit the target, but the director's desire to withstand the canons of the comic is commendable.
Touching moments
Needless to say, in "Suicide Squad" there were very few moments when the viewer really experienced any shocks with the characters. The most heartbreaking scene can be called a meeting Dadshot with daughter while Harley Quinn и Joker are in toxic relationships, and other mercenaries are not at all inclined to show excessive emotions.
"Mission Through" completely changes this concept. Now the characters are more willing to share their experiences. Many of the characters are more human and sensual than in the original comics, demonstrating a different approach. James Gunn to the production of the picture.
Mad villains
With all due respect to creation David Eyre, villains in "Suicide Squad" look pretty typical for their incarnation. Wizards and sorcerers may be something unusual in real life, but in comics they look quite organic. However, if we compare the level of their madness with the antagonist "Missions Through", he will win.
It is about Starro the Conqueror - a huge starfish that releases spores that control the minds of people. Victims of this ability can be used by the alien for their own purposes.
Deadshot and Bloodsport
The viewer noticed that in both films there are very similar characters who are united by skin color, equipment, and even difficult relationships with their daughters. This is about Deadshot by Will Smith и Bloodsport by Idris Elba. An uninitiated viewer could experience some dissonance from such coincidences, so we hasten to give clarifications.
В "Missions Through" Elba was supposed to play Deadshot instead of Smith. However James Gunn gave Will the opportunity to return to the franchise later and added a new character, Bloodsport. However, the images of the characters remained very similar, if you do not take into account the small details.
Amanda Waller
Already while watching the tape "Suicide Squad" it became clear that Amanda Waller - not the most sensitive and kind-hearted person. She only cares about the security of her country and treats the characters as if they were expendable. Moreover, Amanda uses criminals for her own protection, which does not paint her in the eyes of the audience.
But "Mission Through" showed Waller a real monster. She's blackmailing Bloodsport, threatening to imprison his minor daughter, and even dooms many residents of the city to death in order to achieve his goal. If the first film presents Amanda as not a very good person, the second tape rids us of any illusions about her.
Connection to the DC Extended Universe
Inevitably, filmmakers need to connect their own film to a shared story. David Eyre went on a difficult path and entered into "Suicide Squad" Batman, who arrests Quinn and Deadshot, and in the end communicates with Amanda Waller. The Joker has become a kind of relay of the Expanded Universe. DC, and seemed to appear in the frame only to remind him of the linking of the tape to a series of comic book adaptations.
James Gunn handled the task more gracefully, laying a few easter eggs, the most obvious of which was the speech by Amanda Waller, where she mentioned trying to Bloodsport deal with Superman.
MPAA rating
The idea itself "Suicide Squad" speaks of the presence in the film of quite cruel and realistic scenes. However David Eyre failed to reach the full potential of the material as the studio initially aimed to get a rating PG-13. Of course, many moments had to be softened or completely eliminated, which certainly did not make the picture more spectacular.
Eyre himself has repeatedly argued that the sequel should initially set itself the task of reaching the rating Rto achieve better results, and the studio bosses understood this very well. James Gunn managed to realize this idea and made a much more naturalistic film.
Harley Quinn
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the main star of both films is Harley Quinn by Margot Robbie. True, it looks very different thanks to the camera work. in the picture "Suicide Squad" often the camera focuses on the attractiveness of the character, and the revealing outfits of the girlfriend Joker could put the impressionable viewer into a trance state.
"Mission Through" opened Harley from a completely different side, continuing the concept "Birds of Prey". Now the girl is a cold-blooded professional, and her external data has gone by the wayside.

is that a joke? the second film is simply no words, nonsense, as if someone vomited colorful okroshka, well, everything is crammed
And Margot Robbie chponul, the Joker is resting
The second part of ****! In its fullest spectrum. What kind of misery is this? I wanted to leave half
Liked the second more than the first. Black humor, surprises at the very beginning, fights are not prolonged. And it cannot be said that the film is based on one Harley Quinn, as it was in the first part.
I didn’t really like the second part, maybe it’s my own fault (I was expecting something, I don’t know what myself) But the first one is straight class, everything is well done, and the soundtrack is generally a bomb, I still listen with a buzz.
The second film is a slop. And if Harley was cool in the first part, then in the second a full hat that only annoyed. If they removed her from the film, the film would only be better
the second film is bullshit, only he neighed with Lasky, an interesting freak character. In general, the film is *** frank. The first movie is 1000 times better.
Thank you for your comment)
The first film looked like a real movie, good or bad, it’s up to the audience to decide, and the second is a complete bullshit, offhand I don’t advise anyone to watch, you won’t lose anything)))))
Thank you for your comment)
Joker in 1 part top! And it was shot cooler than the bullshit that was shown in the 2nd!
Thank you for your comment) Each character is a matter of taste. But Jared Leto's Joker is mostly negative.
Honestly, none! I won't watch them for the second time.
Thanks for the comment! Many will agree with you, "Suicide Squad" is an amateur spectacle)
