what did you expect, Citizen Kane? I LOVE THIS MOVIE!

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2016)

Some movies are strictly entertainment. Some movies are deep meditations on the human condition. Most of us go to the movies for the first. SUICIDE SQUAD is for you. This is an action extravaganza, full of popcorn munching fun, explosions, and fight scenes. All the actors play their parts well, but Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn and Jared Leto as the Joker are particularly good. Could there be more plot? Yes, but its a super- villain turned heroes flick----gather the team, beat the bad guy, save the world---. Harley Quinn does crazy REALLY well. Jared Leto is a Joker we've not seen before. He's not making a point to anyone, he is just doing his own (totally psychotic) thing. The soundtrack crushes with lots of classic rock, and there are few dull moments. I hope we'll see more Suicide Squads in the future, but I would totally be down for a Joker/Harley movie with Leto and Robbie. One last point. Its really sad to see reviewers, and by this I mean so called professionals, carry over their personal political/social/moral biases over into the treatment of a movie. This is particularly obvious in the case of Suicide Squad. One reviewer seemed particularly put off by Harley's short shorts. Really? If this bothers you, go watch Beaches again.
