But any-who Suicide Squad based on the DC comics series is the first comic book super-villain movie which is one of the few reasons I was looking forward to this movie, the second was the director who I heard is pretty great and last but not least was the cast. The film takes place after the events of Batman V Superman, and they do a good job of showing how the world has come around Superman and they're really feeling his absence. Amanda Waller(Viola Davis) is talking to the government being like look we need to prepare we need to get ready in case we get another meta-human attack happens since Superman is out of the picture we're at a loss for heroes. Her contingency plan is to take all of these meta-human, villains that they have in prison and force them to work for her in case there's an event they can't handle. Before I keep going I liked it, it's not one of the greatest comic book movies of all time but it was very fun to watch. I can see what's wrong the first 40-50 minutes was terrible not awful but they did the cardinal sin of film a movie must show not tell the backstories. The Joker is apparently the godfather I didn't like that either, kiss the ring more like kiss my... you know what let's not get too aggressive. The pacing of the films also a part that brings the movie down. With that said however this movie is one with a lot of heart for it's source material it's got great performances, Margot Robbie and Will Smith being the standouts of the film, even Jai Courtney was good I mean oh my goodness Jai Courtney was good in something. They're even some cameos I won't spoil. My favorite little Easter egg is don't blink but you could see Harley's original costume from the cartoon series. Suicide Squad is well worth watching and the majority of fans will definitely have a good time. Unfortunately, it definitely disappoints in a lot of ways, and as a result, it isn't really the movie Task Force X deserved or the release which will put the DC Films Universe on the path many feel it should be taking. It's a mess of a film and I din't like Joker but this Squad gets a three out of five.
