Not an Oscar winner but who expects that!?

Rating: 8/10 (7 August 2016)

Felt compelled submit a review after reading all the poor reviews that (almost) kept me from going out to see Suicide Squad. We have to be realistic with comic book movies folks, these are NOT Oscar worthy movies Never will be. What a comic book movie is is a popcorn gnashing, soda or beer sipping good time in a dark theater with your friends that allows you to escape reality for a few hours. Does Suicide Squad accomplish this? With flying colors! Now is this movie perfect and set a new standard for comic movies? No it doesn't. It has its weak points with some character development and utilization, some questionable editing and jumping around with the plot (maybe a rated-R ultimate edition Blu-ray in the works again?) But nothing so terrible that it ruins the experience. Will Smith and Margot Robbie were AWESOME, and Jared Leto, while I would have appreciated more screen time, makes a great Joker. Overall I walked out at the end satisfied and felt my money was well spent.
I love both studios so I have no bias but I do feel DC is still getting going with their new universe and it is unfair at this point to compare it punch for punch with the well established Marvel universe.
