Surprisingly Good

Rating: 7/10 (6 August 2016)

I walked into this expecting it to be an utter mess, based on what I'd heard so far, but I was incredibly surprised by how good this movie was. I have to say, I wasn't sure how much I'd like this version of the squad, considering there has been a version in Arrow, which I also loved. With that being said, I loved this movie. Particularly Deadshot and Diablo. I loved the way the backstories of each character was played out, without spending too much time on them (the Flash cameo in Captain Boomerang's was one of my favorite parts). I was wary when it came to the Joker because, like a lot of people, I was worried that Jared Leto couldn't play the character nearly as good as his predecessors. I have to admit, he did a pretty good job. Harley Quinn had some cheesy lines, but other than that, I enjoyed her performance too. One last thing, was the way they kept the BVS story line. They added in little things referring to Superman's death, and how the whole squad exists because of that one event. Overall, I think this was a pretty solid movie. It had some greats parts, and some strange/bad parts, but the latter is drastically outweighed.
