It was...... OK

Rating: 6/10 (7 June 2017)

While this is by far not my favorite comic book movie, it is (so far) my favorite of the DCEU. The production value and most of the acting was the best I've seen thus far, but DC still has a long way to go before they can even start to compete with Marvel. The big problem with the movie is that the focus was on Deadshot (Will Smith) and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), which didn't give the rest of the characters a fair enough chance to shine. In one of the last scenes most of the Suicide Squad comes back to finish the fight with Enchantress, but none of them were given a real reason to. They were never introduced properly and there was no screen time where all the characters bonded enough to fight for one another. In reality, it felt like they just said, "fuck it, might as well fight." The one thing Suicide Squad did well is show the relationship between Harley Quinn (Robbie) and The Joker (Jared Leto). I know a lot of people had a problem with Leto's interpretation of Joker, but the scenes that had Harley and Joker together were by far the best in the movie. They had just the right balance between telling you how they got there, and mystery of why it happened in the first place. Overall, I think this was a good effort by DC and Warner Bros., and I think it's a good sign of what's to come.
