Was it worth the hype?

Rating: 5/10 (16 August 2016)

Suicide Squad. Probably one of the most anticipated blockbuster movies this summer.Due to mostly the great advertising, and that second trailer which was what dc fans wanted out of this movie.
I am writing this review from the perspective of a big dc fan, comics, games, movies... EVERYTHING!!! So going in I saw more or less what I expected. A movie about a bunch of criminals forcibly brought together to carry out a mission that will most likely get them killed. Plus a villain who was basically Gozer from Ghostbusters.
What I love about this movie are the characters (especially Deadshot and Harley) everyone is unique in their own way, I mean we have a guy on the team who uses boomerangs as a weapon!! So seeing the interactions between them creates a lot of interesting and funny dialogue. But it was disappointing seeing characters such as killer Croc only having about 3 lines. Along with that there wasn't much development for characters apart from Harley, Deadshot and El Diablo, sure we get brief exposition of the other squad members but it was very brief.
OH, and lets not forget about the joker. He wasn't in it long but I liked him from what was shown. Sense of style; questionable. But he did have a very good joker voice and personality down.
The overall quality of the film did lack some, there were cuts that didn't make that much sense. The action was overall good but at least we there wasn't much or any in fact shaky cam. Which I wouldn't really expect much of from David Ayer in the first place. However from the guy that made Fury I was expecting better film making than this, but I expect a lot of it was due to WB taking stuff out from the movie.
Nonetheless it was very entertaining (to me at least) and was paired with an amazing soundtrack, tons of Easter eggs and great characters. So for me it was worth the hype.
