Suicide Squad: Made to Fail

The structure had a marginal improvement in the overall quality of the film. The chapter-based transitions felt more tarantino-esque which had a much less bitter taste in comparison to the mess that is the original film. A fortuitous effort in making the film actually re-watchable. As someone who saw the original in theaters, After digesting it, i felt disappointed, and wished a version like your edit was what I could've seen in the first place. Excellent Job!

Joseph quinns edit of suicide squad seeks to right some of the wrongs of the theatrical cut by removing some if the more obnoxious aspects of the theatrical cut such as some of the soundtrack choices and cleverly reworking the once annoying, pointless, and seemingly random bright neon flashy camera effects into flashback sequences flawlessly. The movie has been heavily restructred providing a more compelling plot that unfolds far more naturally and has a greater sense of plot progression than the theatrical version. Breaking this once very unstructred movie into chapters was also a very good call. Overall i definitely recommend this fan edit and it will be taking its place in my future dc marathons over the travesty of the theatrical cut. Great job.

This version is way better with this cut, the narrative is more fluid. Just some minors audio cut who doesnt shine here and there.

Try it, you'll like it if you like the original and you should give it a try if you don't as well.

When a lot of people were being critical of the original cut of this movie, I was an apologist for it. I enjoyed it. That doesn't mean that I didn't see room for improvement. Pacing was rough, the time skips were jarring sometimes, and the "comic" book stylings of the story jumps (i.e. introductions of the squad) were not great.

This edit is now my go-to for when I want to watch this movie. The reordering of the scenes was well done. The movie pacing issues were resolved for the most part. Don't get me wrong, you can only do so much with the source material, and I'm not looking for miracles. Also, the introductions and backstories for the squad was much much better and felt more organic.

If I had a critique, I would say the background music was a little loud at times. It made it a little hard to hear the conversations and/or narration taking place. Also, and I saw this in another review as well, the black title screens that broke up the chapters should be reviewed. I mean, they did their job, they just need something. Not sure what, I'm not an editor, but I'll know it when I see it. Maybe the transition to them could be changed. They just need something to be more polished.

Overall, I really good edit and, like I said previously, this is my default choice for re-watching this movie.

Thank you for your time in making this. Myself and my wife both enjoyed it.

That's a fresh and very interesting take on the 2016 SSQ film. I really enjoyed the chaptering, the titles were wisely chosen, but like the person below me suggested, it would've been better without the black screen. I also believe that it would've flowed better if the movies opens directly on Waller's meeting, the footage from the opening intros with June and Harley could've been useful to add some meat during Waller's briefing.
As for the audio, I loved that you completely removed the music during the Deadshot scene, it worked so much better. And I think that the whole film shouldn't feel like a jukebox movie. Minor complaint, but the music that kicks in the Killer Croc intro is too loud, so we don't hear the dialogue clearly.
As for the narrative, it's great and flows smoothly. But I think that you should've used a flashback effect after the Warden gives the concealed phone to Harley, the way it jumps directly to confused Joker going to Louisianna feels a little weird when you're not familiar with the movie.

Last thing, the nerd in me didn't help but notice that when Enchantress frees her brother, she should refer to Darkseid and his generals as the New Gods and not the Old Gods.

Overall, it's a very promising edit that greatly improves the original, it just needs a little polishing.
