It's really not that bad

Rating: 8/10 (5 August 2016)

I don't want to go into too much detail in this specific post, but I do want to make a stand here on IMDb that this movie isn't as bad as the critics are making it out to be. A score that's below 30 percent on Rotten Tomatoes? Ouch! That's not a fair score for this movie.
It's worth noting that most of my life I have been a huge fan of DC. And that's why I've been disappointed with the DC Cinematic universe so far. Man of Steel was a disaster and Batman v. Superman tried to do too much in one movie. Suicide Squad is lighter in tone, has a more simple premise, is a more focused movie, and is a ton of fun.
Margot Robbie is as good as everyone's been saying. And Jared Leto kills it as the Joker, even though he isn't given much screen time. These two make a psychotically wonderful on-screen villain couple that I loved. Will Smith's Deadshot was also fantastic as he brings a lot of heart and charisma to the character with his backstory.
I was also a fan of Captain Boomerang, Diablo, Killer Croc, and Enchantress even if they aren't quite on the same level as the other three villains. They're still good, though. I love the team dynamic. I love the idea of the suicide squad. Being that they're all villains, you never really know what they are going to do or if one of them is going to betray the team. In my opinion, an all-villain team has potential to be much more interesting than an all-hero team because you don't know who to root for or what's going to happen and this movie does a great job at that.
The soundtrack was a bit much at times and the editing wasn't always super sharp. And no, there's no moment that really blows you away and there's no crazy twists or turns. But this is a really fun movie that's done well. It was my most anticipated movie of the year going in and even though it doesn't reach the heights I was hoping and thinking it would, it's still a lot better than many critics have made it out to be and is a huge step forward for DC that proves to me that their future is bright. My grade for the movie is an 8/10.
