Review of Suicide Squad (2016) by Oscarthegrouch — 26 Dec 2016
Suicide Squad is enjoyable for what it is, a pop corn superhero movie. It's not a masterpiece, nor is it intended to be. It's an action movie, expecting this to live up to some standard no superhero movie has achieved is like watching a Pixar movie and complaining there was no grand plot.
The movie has some cool moments - I especially liked the transformation of Enchantress - and funny moments with Harley involving herself in most of those. Harley and Deadshot which were both portrayed very well by both actors. I had my doubts about casting Smith for Deadshot, but he did an excellent job. And Margot Robbie was the perfect Harley Quinn, being a blend of both the cartoon and the comics in one.
My only gripe is where the team got mad at Flag when they read some top secret documents, as if that was somehow worse than getting sent on a suicide mission. Moreso that Katana would be mad as well, which makes little sense. Apart from that I enjoyed the movie, and would easily recommend it to anybody looking for some light entertainment.
