Great cast , mediocre plot and awesome dialogues

Rating: 8/10 (14 August 2016)

Despite being one of the most anticipated movie of the year, David Ayer's Suicide Squad was unable to fulfill the expectations of the audience. It is important to notice that while all the usual elements of a superhero flick are present, this is a somewhat different kind of a superhero film. It consists of the villains we love from DC Universe, doing atrocious things all in the name of good. In the first half of the movie it looks quite promising but in second half storytelling becomes slow and it starts loosing connection with the audience.
Oscar nominee actor Will Smith leads the squad and fully justifies the character of the unerring assassin, Deadshot. Margot Robbie is terrific as the giggly devious maniac Harley Quinn, earning the movie's best lines and nailing almost every one of them. The movie has a little feminist tone as all female characters are shown strong, confident and given kick-ass lines, thus breaking the usual stereotypes about women. The Oscar winning actor Jared Leto's Joker has less than 10 minutes of screen time. Though Jared Leto brought a new perspective to the Joker, his performance couldn't reach the bar set by Heath Ledger's legendary Joker in DC's Dark Knight.
In my opinion, the best kind of visual effects are the ones where we can't separate effects from reality and Suicide Squad gets full marks in this department. The fighting scenes were amazingly shot, the camera angles of each stunt were stunning and chosen very appropriately. Amazing work was done in Cinematography and some scenes were so exquisitely shot that it gave me Goosebumps, like the scene of Enchantress taking control over Dr June Moon.
Overall the dialogues and fight scenes were great while the plot was quite weak. Still the story was saved by the awesome performance delivered by Margot Robbie and Will Smith .If you don't like Action and Superhero movies then this is definitely not for you. For all the DC comic lovers this exciting entertainer is a must watch.
