Entertaining but not as good as expected

Rating: 6/10 (11 August 2016)

I was looking forward to watch suicide squad. I love DC comics but I'm not a huge fan of their cinematic universe. Suicide squad looked different than the previous dceu movies and that was the main reason for my excitement.
I loved the characters in the movie. Margot Robbie did a great job, she sounded exactly like Harley Quinn from batman: the animated series. She was childish and lovable yet really insane.
I was kind of worried when they announced that Will Smith was going to play Deadshot, I felt like he doesn't fit the role but I'm glad I was proved wrong. I loved every scene his character was in and I also loved his back story.
I wasn't a huge fan of El diablo, Rick Flag and Boomerang before the movie but I absolutely loved them after it especially Joel Kinnaman as Rick Flag, I loved the romance between him and Enchantress' alter ego, June moon.
The character that disappointed me was the Joker. I know that Jared Leto is a good actor and I know that he had so much to give to the role but he doesn't appear that much, most of his scenes in the trailers were cut out from the movie which made him an unnecessary character. I don't blame Leto for this, it's absolutely a wrong decision made by the director. I was expecting to see Harleen Quinzel becoming Harley Quinn but instead we got a one minute scene explaining her back story.
The editing in my opinion was really bad, the action sequences were messy and hard to keep up with. The third act was weak and the same goes to the villain.
Overall, suicide squad is another generic comic book movie but it was very entertaining. I didn't feel bored while watching it. I loved the humor and the characters. Compared to other huge let downs this summer, suicide squad was a decent movie. I expected something better but that didn't prevent the movie from being enjoyable.
7/10
