An interesting and fun movie but has its own problems

Rating: 6/10 (11 August 2016)

When can DC films smash Marvels' has been a question asked for a long time, and I've put much anticipation in the summer blockbuster Suicide Squad. Overall the movie is fun and easy to watch, actions scenes were fabulous, yet there are some problems that outweigh the goods.
The music in the film is one of the greatest things. The soundtracks were totally awesome, especially the iconic "Purple Lamborghini", "Heathens", "Gangsta" etc. Also the original music score conducted by Steven Price works surprisingly well with the soundtrack. The timing of each track was perfect. They suit each characters and each scene, stirring up audience's excitement and anticipation of what will happen next.
The characters were another awesome part of the film. Although having many characters to introduce, I reckon the film had done a good job to help the audience who are not familiar with these comic characters, and each character was full of live and emotions. These "super villains" background stories were mind-blowing, and the humanisation of them had made the audience (at least me) able to relate to them more. However, same characters' appearance had raised questions. Does Joker really need to be in this film? I understand that it is necessary to have Mr. J in order to introduce Harley, but the scene of him were just not enough, making him looked just like a random, unimportant guy. More Joker or no Joker please. It is really excited to see the Flash in Suicide Squad especially that his is going to be in the future DC films, but it is really confusing for those who are not familiar to DC universe, and pose the question if he is really necessary to be there. And I personally think that characters in Suicide Squad need more time for their background stories and more time to explain why and how the Task Force X is resembled, and it will be better if Suicide Squad is made as a TV series.
The edit and too many cut scenes were the parts that made the film less impressive. The plot was simple and easy to follow. Join the task force, rescue target defeat the bad guy or you will die. But the edit is just so jumpy, cutting the flow of the story. And about the cut scenes, I understand that the director must had them cut for a reason, but even before reading about the articles about them I can still see that there are something missing. The worst part is the villain, or villains. The reason for them to turn into villains was just ridiculous! You wanna destroy the world just because people don't worship you anymore? Think about those sad, puny gods in the Nightside Series! (by Simon Green btw), and what spell (or machine) you're creating to destroy the world? The film just skips it without any explanation. Also, please if you have super power, why don't you just use it? Why you need to fight with freaking swords? What I can't stand the most is that she stands there for the whole time and move like a seaweed, what happen to that?!
Anyways, Suicide Squad was an entertaining and fun film to watch. Some parts need more improvement, and really hope to see those cut scenes in the extended version.
