Fun movie. Not perfect, but fun.

Rating: 5/10 (12 August 2016)

Suicide Squad was an okay movie. It's wasn't good, nor was it great, but it was okay. Just okay. It was enjoyable and the action scenes were highly entertaining to watch; however, it was in no way perfect.
Yes, it was nice to see characters like Harley Quinn and Deadshot on screen (along with the others), but just because it was nice to see those characters, doesn't mean this movie is getting a 10/10 star rating any time soon.
The overall structure of the story made it seem very much like the writers were trying to stick square pegs into circular holes, after those holes were previously carved.
To put it simply, since BvS wasn't too loved by the critics (though, that's not to say it wasn't loved by the fans) and a lot of people (but not all) thought it was very 'dark' and 'gritty', they had to re-shoot a lot of scenes for Suicide Squad to satisfy those people who didn't like just how dark and gritty their last movie was, which I'm inclined to believe is the reason why there are random scenes scattered throughout the movie that make almost no logical sense whatsoever, when it comes to concerning the plot.
And a lot of those random scenes were flashbacks, which was the film's way of trying to get the audience to know the characters.
On some level, it succeeded. But there were way too many characters in the movie to successfully show to the audience in just a little over two hours.
Everyone's backstory was basically only around five to ten minutes long, and they were all crammed into this film.
(I did enjoy some of them, though!)
Again, I get that the writers needed to introduce the characters before moving along with the plot, but the way they did it just added to this movie's already convoluted structure.
Now, obviously this film had its faults. And let's face it: what film doesn't? But that didn't make it an awful movie.
It was okay. It was entertaining. It certainly wasn't terrible. And I doubt I would have any regrets about watching it again.
The action scenes were fun, and it was great to see characters that haven't been in the DCEU yet...actually be in the DCEU.
It was a pretty fun movie, and I enjoyed it. A little messy, but it was entertaining to watch.
(Note: I tried not to spoil the film too much, just in case those who are reading this have not watched it, but there is a spoiler warning, as a precaution.)
