Review of Suicide Squad (2016) by Shadowloo — 04 Aug 2016

Seriously what movie where the critics watching. I was expecting the worst after seeing those reviews, but when I walked out the cinema I was thoroughly entertained.

True enough, it's not a perfect movie. The criticism towards the tonal shifts, using too many pop songs, weak story and villain are certainly valid but overall the movie is definitly entertaining. But overall the movie worked.

Jared Leto's Joker works, Margot Robbie's Harley Quin works, even Will Smith - who I was worried about the most - actually turns in a pretty good Deathshot performance, not to.mention VIola Davis' Waller.

My only real complaints are that the task force X members turn out to be a bit too sympathetic in the end, at least for the psycho- and sociopathic supervillains they're supposed to be. And an R-rating probably could've worked better, seeing some of the cuts made.

This movie is way better than BvS which was a great disappointment to me (though not as terrible as the critics lead you to believe) and most MCU movies(people seem to forget half of those movies are decent at best..*cough*..*Thor the Darkworld*..*cough*). Definitely worth the admission price of a movie ticket.
