Critics and Fans are pretty much at odds over this film, but the general consensus from those who like it and dislike this movie are that the tone isn’t consistent and the editing is choppy. For some (like most critics) this is movie breaking, it takes them out of the film and let’s them know they’re watching a movie and the suspension of disbelief is broken.
Well there are a couple of reasons for this, one being that after David Ayer wrapped on the film it was darker than what the trailers would leave you to believe. This led to massive reshoots to try and lighten up the tone of the film and possibly make it more like Guardians of the Galaxy.
After the reshoots the folks who cut the trailer were then with tasking to recut the movie. Now David Ayer says that what is in theaters is his cut, but many think he’s just toeing the company line there. The multiple editors would explain why a lot of scenes from the trailers were cut, it would also explain why Jared Leto said that he shot enough footage to make his own Joker movie but is barely in the movie.
The good folks at Reddit have compiled a list of the missing scenes, click HERE for those. Also check out the video below from Mr. Sunday Movies. So what did you think of the movie?
