disappointed

Rating: Null/10 (8 December 2016)

At this point I have everyone I know asking me my opinion of Suicide Squad. I love how people value what I have to say on the subject of movies and I try my best to form my own opinion and to be as honest as possible. This movie has been raped by critics and I start to wonder if the people writing the reviews actually believe the things they say. Now don't get me wrong. I have my feelings on the DC cinematic universe but these critics are overly biased and ungenuine. Is Suicide Squad perfect? Absolutely not. Is it one of the best comic book movies ever made? Hell no. Is it better than the worst of the Marvel universe? Just a little bit. Yes this movie has flaws. The editing is awful. Especially the first and second act. It's so choppy it's actually distracting. But why do we go to the movies? We go to be entertained. We go to escape reality for 2 hours. We go to immerse ourselves in world's far from our own. We go because it's fun. And that's what this movie is. It's fun. Now I did want it to be DC'S Guardians of the Galaxy but it doesn't even come close. And despite its editing and pacing issues it's still a fun movie. When it comes to DC movies I feel that Man of Steel was OK and Batman vs. Superman is much better than the reviews would indicate. I actually hated it upon first viewing but it's growing on me. Suicid Squad is DC's second film in their extended universe. And it really does build on what they are trying to do. But it does fall short. I haven't fully formed an opinion on Jared Leto's joker. I think I need to see it again to really decide how I feel. I was very happy to see that all the rumored cameos happened in the first 5 minutes instead of dragging it out. It would have taken me out of the movie and it would have proved that DC needed to do that in order to keep people interested. But in the end the movie delivers. It's one of the few films that I can honestly say that really came together in the third act. So here I am at a bar having a drink writing a review on Suicide Squad. And I protose a poast to the DC universe to come. Just drop Zach Snyder already. He's the anchor holding the ship down. I think he's incredibly gifted but he needs to go
