Awesome movie don't listen to critics

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2016)

One VERY minor spoiler. So I just got back from seeing Suicide Squad for a second time and my opinion hasn't changed; it's awesome. Is it the best superhero film ever? No, but it's certainly in the top ten maybe even top five. Defiantly the second best DC film of all time after the Dark Knight. The film is getting a lot of hate for dumb reasons and I am inclined to believe that it's cause it's DC and Marvel fan boys are determined to see DC fail. The movie has a very simple plot and the villain's motivations are also very simple. But sometimes simplicity works best,case in point. Suicide Squad goes for a more humorous simple plot unlike the dark over-complicated DC film that preceded it. This is what I don't get, BvS was criticised for being humourless and over-complicated; this contains much more humour and a simple but good plot and is called childish and immature. The cast are all amazing with Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Viola Davis an Jai Courtney being the stand outs for me. Without spoiling, Viola Davis kills it as the controlling, shady Amanda Waller which was fantastic. As previously mentioned there is a good amount of humour here and the jokes are very funny. It was amazing to see a few iconic comic book panels and covers be re-created here, and the brief cameos from Batman and another Justice Leaguer where amazing. My only gripe with the movie is that there isn't a whole lot of Joker, but I'd say he's in it as long as Spidey was in Civil War so it's six and two threes really. As for Jared Leto every scene he was in he stole and was amazing, although I still don't like the tattoos he is an amazing Joker and I can't wait to see him again (although Heat Ledger is still the definitive Joker). So just to wrap it up this is an amazing film and is perfect proof you shouldn't listen to critics, listen to fans who know these characters and know an amazing adaptation when we see one. I liked BvS but I'll admit it had it's problems, but this is a vast improvement, the DCEU is headed in the right direction. Ignore the critics go see this awesome movie!
