Not as bad as it seems

Rating: 7/10 (5 August 2016)

Let me start out by saying I was very excited for this movie. After the Dark Knight trilogy concluded I have been ready for the DC universe to actually become a universe instead of just Batman and now suicide squad is the 3rd movie of the DC universe movies. The critics have not expressed positive feedback on any and suicide squad followed that tradition. Now as a huge fan of superhero movies, I was very excited for a villain superhero movie to come out. With this movie it shows how different it is than any comic book movie we've seen in the past, which is something I really liked. I also feel like one positive thing that has been said about the movie is the performances by Margot Robbie, Will Smith, and Viola Davis in general... and I have to say those three actors took those roles and showed exactly why they were cast. With some awesome performances, a great idea, and a lot of fun action I liked this movie, but there's still problems with it. When looking at this movie not as a comic book movie and just a fantasy, action-packed movie it falls short. The movie feels very choppy with the editing that was in it, and there were many plot holes that can be seen that just take you out of the movie. All in all Suicide Squad is not a horrible movie, it's just not necessarily a well made movie, but the movie was still a lot of fun to see. I recommend seeing it if you were excited to, just because mindlessly watching this movie is extremely enjoyable.
