A fun time at the movies

Rating: 8/10 (22 October 2016)

Suicide squad is such a fun time at the movies so don't be discarded by all the hateful criticism and backlash this movie got when it first was released. I believe this movie to be a nice transition from David Ayer's past movie line up where they focused more on a lot of grit, action, crime, and drama. I'm not saying Suicide squad doesn't have any action because there is a lot of it but what I am saying is its nice to see a director get out of his comfort zone by taking on a movie, more specifically a comic-book movie which focuses on action and comedy. One addition to this movie that I really enjoyed was the music. I found myself lip syncing the words during every transition when a new song played in the background. There are familiar songs that most notably will be recognized by a more mainstream audience. The actors and characters are not to go un-noticed either. Even though Will Smith practically plays himself as the role of deadshot, it still doesn't take out the fact that you sort of like him and root for him to succeed in the long run. Margot Robbie as Haley Quinn will probably be most audience goers choice as the stand out of the whole movie which I do agree on at some aspects but the one character I feel I liked the most was Diablo. His character just appealed to me the most and I found myself wanting to see more of him on screen. Lastly I know most people who haven't scene the movie yet will probably be wondering about the Joker. All I can say is without spoiling it for you is that you will want to see more of him. Suicide squad is worth a watch whether it is in theaters or your streaming it at home, especially now that there will be an extended cut coming out soon.
