An all around good summer movie! Go see it!

Rating: 8/10 (6 August 2016)

I have been waiting a long time to see this, and I am glad that I finally saw the movie today. Was it worth the money, yes compared to other not so good flicks this summer, I won't mention any names.
Now on to business then...
Does this movie have a few problems? Sure it had a few issues, but what movie doesn't?
The Bad: Some character introductions were not quite enough. Example: the Enchantress, a bit more intro/story needed. After the intros, the pacing was a bit off, choppy at times for the rest of the film. Seems the Editor was out to lunch, or the studio tied his hands. Some of the comedic one liners were not necessary at all, and a bit overdone. More action scenes with some of the lesser seen characters is needed, might have helped this movie quite a bit.
The evil guys weren't evil enough, and there wasn't quite enough of the enemy to go around. We didn't really get any good backstory about the Big Bad, and where the Enchantress comes into it, and why they do what they do. I wont say any more about that, don't want to give anything away. And what's up with Slipknot? That is one character we didn't need.
The Good: Margot Robbie shines as Harley Quinn in this film, and Will Smith's Deadshot is awesome as well. And Jay Hernandez as Diablo, totally Bad A$$! And Jared Leto's version of the Joker was Psychotically Off the Hook! Yes, although there are a lot of fans of Heath's Joker, and Jared does deliver a great performance IMHO, and I have seen all film incarnations of the Joker.
Jai Courtney does a great job with Captain Boomerang! He had some funny moments in the film. Viola Davis, and Joel Kinnaman deliver solid performances as Amanda Waller and Rick Flag. I wouldn't want to be on the bad side of the Waller we see! She is more ruthless than the Suicide Squad. Most of the other minor characters did okay with the time allotted them.
The music for this film was great, some older tunes, and newer a good mix. I also realize that this film is basically a setup for the characters for other movies that may or may not be happening. But I do hope to see more of Harley Quinn and the Joker, and Deadshot in future films. Who knows, maybe they can team up and take care of the Bat! LOL
Conclusion: Is it worth the time and money? Yes! Is it a solid 10 without fault? No! Is it a fun summer movie? Yes! Would I see it again? Yes! And it looks like Suicide Squad is kicking butt in the box office totals too! Don't believe me, go see Box Office Mojo!
Side Note: And to all the paid critics out there, give it a rest already. Quit bashing the movie and acting like paid schills. Let people know your actual valid points of a film, whether good or bad, without your prejudices being involved. And let people form their own opinions about whether they should actually see the movie off solid intel.
