A Very Fun Film

Rating: 7/10 (27 August 2016)

First of all every one is entitled to their own opinion and this is mine.
I was not that excited for Batman v Superman, the trailers didn't wow me so I was not that surprised when it wasn't that good.
The trailer for this film however were amazing and for me the film lived up to the hype.
Will Smith and Margot Robbie were perfect in their roles of Deadshot and Harley Quinn. Actors that surprised me were Jay Hernandez as El Diablo (who I haven't seen anything from before), Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang (who is pretty bad in almost everything he is in) and Jared Leto as The Joker.
The plot is simple enough, a group of villains are forced to team up and fight a bigger evil. There is great chemistry between all of the actors and they all seem to have a blast at making this film.
Although there was not a lot of The Joker I liked the portrayal of him and look forward to seeing him more whether in a sequel or a stand alone Batman film. El Diablo was the biggest surprise for me, knowing nothing about the character he had the biggest arc and became the most sympathetic after hearing his backstory about how he killed his family. Slipknot is a character who is marketed as part of the squad which he barely is, he is just there to die (which was hilarious) to prove that the squad has to do this mission or they to will die.
The story is straight forward and the film stands on its own unlike Batman v Superman which crammed in way too many plots and character.
All in all I really enjoyed it, it was a fun film and it seems like DC is heading in a good place after a bumpy start and I look forward to seeing these character again and future installments in the DC Cinematic Universe.
