An Enjoyable Comic Book Movie

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2016)

Never shying away from the fact that it was a comic book movie, Suicide Squad embodies the outrageous and unrealistic atmosphere that comic books are famous for. With heavy acting power behind the characters, you'll come to love each and every one of them for their own personal quirks that make this team the comedic loose cannon shown in the trailers. I am genuinely interested to see future movies featuring these characters, specifically Jared Leto's Joker as I felt he didn't have enough scenes to make a full impact, although he still did a terrific job. Hopefully we'll see more of him in the Batman standalone film. If I had one gripe with the movie, it would be that I think the villain wasn't the best choice for the first Suicide Squad film, and it added a risky element that could've been used in later films much better. However, it didn't do much to reduce my overall happiness with this movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it and think it's a great watch with a couple friends or family.
