It Lived Up To The Hype

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2016)

Suicide squad, the film that I have been hyping about for over a year with my brother and my dad. Every time a new trailer came out we all sat around a computer and watched it, waiting patiently for the film to come out. And when it did, we all thought it lived up to the hype. let's dive in. Amanda waller (Viola Davis) is a government agent who realizes that with superman gone, the next superman might be evil and thus she forms the task force of some of the most dangerous people in the world to defeat a powerful supernatural being. Now first off, Amanda Waller is scary as all hell, I mean like when I saw the trailers, my thought was; "how scary can this government agent be in comparison to a team of dangerous criminals", then after watching the film, my thought was; "I would rather be in one of jigsaw's deathtraps then be in the same room as that terrifying government agent". That is how scary she is. Secondly, the joker (Jared leto) is not the villain in this film, I have no problem with that, I just want to point that out. He is more of a supporting character. Third, the characters are really good in this movie. I really feel like the actors were having fun with the role. I felt lots of connection with the characters. They did a good job at casting. Deadshot (Will Smith) and Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) were great on screen together. I really have just one big complaint with the film; the pacing. The film starts off really fast paced, then it slows down so much to the point where I felt so bored because of how slow it was to the beginning. And then it speeds back up, then slows down, and it is a big problem, but that is my only real problem. With all of that said, I give this film ⅘ stars.
