Bad Guys, Yes. Bad Movie, No Way!

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2017)

Suicide Squad Thoughts
The Good - Leto's Joker - if there is anyone who could come close to Heath Ledger, it's Leto. He's not as good as Ledger but he's a very worthy successor. Excited to see more of him in the DCEU - Deadshot - Will Smith gave a fantastic performance, in fact I think this is his best movie since "I Am Legend" - Harley Quinn - Normally I don't like Harley Quinn. But Robbie made me like the character for the first time ever! - Captain Boomerang - This guy was hilarious! A much different take than the TV version but it worked! - Killer Croc - He came off very intimidating and was oddly hilarious in a very good way - El Diabla - Wow, did not expect to feel so much for this character. I know nothing about him in the comics but I really liked him here - The bookends - SS felt like a sequel to BvS and a prequel to Justice League, and as a big fan of cohesive universes I really liked that - Batfleck - I don't really need to say anything here, do I? - Enchantress - Her design was great and I had no clue as to her significant role in the film. It's nice to be surprised at the movies every now and then
The Bad - There wasn't much of a story; there is about 30 minutes of setup and the rest is one long action scene (not that that's a problem, but it could have used some fleshing out) - Too many songs and not enough orchestral music - You could really tell the WB editing team took several axe strokes to the movie if the rumors are to be believed
My sheer excitement at seeing this comic realized on-screen though is really enough to help me ignore the films problems
9/10 (for now, my opinions on films can change)
