Bad Movie Review on Suicide Squad

Rating: 2/10 (12 October 2016)

Movie Review: Suicide Squad
Suicide Squad, is a poorly directed Marvel Comic Book action film, with ratings plummeting downwards rapidly shortly after the release date. This movie premiered in theaters on August 5, 2016. It was anticipated to be one of the best comedy action films of the summer, targeting comic-book readers and teens. Since the cast was very well recruited, such as actress and model Margot Robbie, actor and entertainer Will Smith, actor and singer Jared Leto, and supermodel and actress Cara Delevingne.
The director chosen for this film was poorly chosen. David Ayer, is an American film director, producer, and screenwriter. He has written and directed many well-known movies such as Training Day, Harsh Times, Street Kings, End of Watch, and Suicide Squad. He specializes in action films, but didn't live up to the high expectations everyone had for Suicide Squad.
Suicide Squad is a movie about a team of dangerous super villains assembled by a U.S. intelligence officer on a top- secret mission to defeat a dangerous supernatural entity. Which was deemed to be a "suicide mission." They were fully armed with special weapons and government technology and security. With no escape route for any of the villains Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) and The Joker (Jared Leto) had an abusive, obsessive, controlling, and sick relationship. Having that the joker escaped the mission without his beloved girlfriend, Harley. He had intentions of rescuing her, although he deliberately failed in doing so. Their love story threw off the focus of the movie. The movie itself had great music, editing, and action scenes. Although unfortunately these great assets didn't help with the direction of the movie.
In the movie Will Smith's character Deadshot whose character first appeared in Batman #59 and was created by Bob Kane. Known to be the world's deadliest and most accurate marksman, Deadshot has become a permanent member of both the Suicide Squad and Secret Six. Will Smith was the most suitable actor for the role. He has a history of being in many not just action films but all types of successful films.
Ben Affleck plays Batman in this film. Ben is formally known for his big break in Good Will Hunting. He has had a successful acting career. He has been nominated and won many awards such as the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture, Academy Award for best picture, and more. Although there are many different actors who play Batman's role in other movies Ben Affleck had a different take on portraying his character to be one of the best Batman roles in history.
Most Marvel films take place in New York City, DC comics have always set their most popular heroes in fictional cities, because it fits a specific background on each character. Suicide Squad is no exception to this rule. It does not take place in New York City but takes place in Midway City. Which is a fictional city, comparable to Chicago and is located in the Midwestern United States.
The idea for Suicide Squad had started developing in early 2009. It had all the potential and time to be an unforgettable film for this summer. Although with a budget of $175 million, it grossed over $742 million dollars in revenue, it received lots of negative reviews and low ratings. The plot was crammed, the directing was slightly choppy, and the characters were poorly constructed Margot Robbie's character Harley who was the main focus. Which allowed her to have a great outcome and received lots of praise. Even though the movie received horrible reviews, some were good.
