This movie is imperfect, yet fun. A great time at the movies

Rating: 8/10 (8 August 2016)

The third installment in the DC Extended Universe, "Suicide Squad", was almost an antithesis of the movies before it. Director David Ayer was clearly taking notes when people were criticizing "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice". This movie goes out of its way to create new characters that you could truly care about, even at a small level. Will Smith and Margot Robbie managed to fully embody the characters from the comics they are based off of, while also bringing something new to the table. And of course, there is the matter of Jared Leto's Joker. This was first portrayed on the silver screen in 1966. However, 50 years later, Jared Leto manages to make all of the viewers feel as if they are watching a brand new character. He makes no attempts to stack up against Nicholson or Ledger. He creates a character all his own. To the movie critic, this movie may seem imperfect. Many filmmakers would have did this movie very differently. However, to the comic book fan and the average moviegoer, this movie did very well. It is a fun movie, and to sit down and watch this movie is just a treat. If you watch this, expect action and laughs.
