This is not Suicide Squad.

Rating: 1/10 (27 January 2019)

Suicide Squad stars Margot Robbie, Will Smith, Jared Leto, Viola Davis, and Jai Courtney. It is also directed by David Ayer who directed movies like Harsh Times and End of Watch. The first time I heard about Suicide Squad was from watching Batman Assault on Arkham. In that movie Task Force X also known as Suicide Squad has to sneak into Arkham and grab a flash drive that the Riddler has. And when I heard about them doing a Suicide Squad movie I was excited even the trailer had me pump for the movie. I didn't see it in theatres, but I got it on Blu ray and I was ready to go I was excited, and afterwards the movie left me disappointed. First off I don't think anyone involved producing, directing, or writing knows anything about Suicide Squad. This is not what the Suicide Squad should look like. The Suicide Squad should be about criminals who are forced to cooperate with the government while also remaining villains. Instead were left with a movie where they resolve there differences with themselves and the government and they eventually save the day and are respected. The writing is terrible that it sounds like someone who read Suicide Squad, but instead of going for a hardcore Suicide Squad we have what Doctor Evil might say a mini or the diet coke of Suicide Squad, just one calorie. I love David Ayer as a director. He's made some fantastic movies, but him directing this wasn't the best fit for him and I believed he did have a plan, but that idea was scrapped. I was hoping for an R rated version, but instead we have a PG-13 version filled in with jokes that are trying way to hard to impress the audience, but they fall flat on their head. Joker has always been a big edition to Batman and Suicide Squad, but when he's on screen he's covered in tattoos who looks more like Scarface than the clown prince of crime. And he's not in the movie that long more like thirty minutes and vanishes until he shows up again. Even the extended cut of the film can't save this trash of a film. I could go on and on about what went wrong with Suicide Squad, but the point I'm trying to make is that watch Batman Assault on Arkham instead of this trash because that is what Suicide Squad is supposed to be not this.
