Not great, but a step in the right direction for the DCEU.

Rating: Null/10 (17 August 2016)

Before Batman v Superman came, I was pumped out of my mind for that movie because I love DC, I wanted it to be spectacular, I wanted it to be the greatest movie in existence... and well, needless to say, it wasn't. But for a while, I was in denial, I didn't want to believe it was anything but great, even if some things were strange or didn't make any sense. As time passed and the more I thought about it, the more I disliked it, and the extended edition just made it worse. And then Suicide Squad came, I really liked it, but I wanted to wait a couple of days before reviewing it because I didn't want to be "biased".
And well, I thought this was a very fun movie and I was thoroughly entertained, although it has it's fair share of problems. The story is pretty bad, it didn't make a lot of sense, and I'm not gonna go into spoilers but the villain in the movie was dreadful, and to me it was probably the worst part of the film. Also the editing was very choppy. Those were my main complaints after I left the cinema, and they still are.
One might think after everything I just said I would give it a very bad score, except like I said, I really enjoyed this movie, and they did right most of the things I wanted done right, namely the squad. The squad characters, and their interactions were just fantastic, they had a great dale chemistry together, and they were really funny.
Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn was fantastic, just how I imagined her, Will Smith was also great as Deadshot, they added a lot of soul to the film. Viola Davis was phenomenal as Amanda Waller, one of the best performances in the movie. Jay Hernandez as Diablo was also pretty good, I wish they'd focused a little more on him. Jai Courtney was surprisingly funny as Boomerang, this is his best role by far. Jared Leto was good, I wish they wouldn't have cut most of his scenes. That being said the other characters weren't that interesting by themselves or weren't developed enough, namely Killer Croc, Rick Flag, and the Enchantress, who was especially bad. Also (not really a spoiler because he was shown in the trailers) the Batman cameo, his scenes short albeit great, I really enjoyed them.
Overall this film could've been a lot better, with a better script and less studio meddling, and I know there was a good movie in this one, but I still have hope that the next DCEU movie will be great.
5.5/10
