Review of Suicide Squad (2016) by Punisher7 — 04 Aug 2016

To the point, great movie, plot and story flows as a comic does. Understood that the film focus was the "Suicide Squad" not the Bats or Mr. J (Affleck and Leto nailed both roles btw.) Knowing this going in eliminates cameo expectations.

Timeline was perfect following BvsS. The cast were great for each of their roles, they captured the spirit and essence of their comic characters. Looking forward to a sequel. The only reason not a 10, there was awkward slow down pacing in some scenes which seemed like some editing was over-sighted.

The color in scenes were focused to the characters just as a comic which I thought was captured masterfully. It kept focus on characters both verbal and non-verbal communication. Integrating these characters to "live action" was done perfectly I thought in just one film, that had to be hard to do.

The dynamics between Harley and Joker were intense excitement leaving you wanting more. The rage and sarcasm in Capt Boomerang was solid and fun; the intimidation and power was found in Killer Croc; the heated internal passion was in Diablo, Enchantress was dark and powerful, Col Flagg had realistic heroic presence, Katana was energetic and passionate; Quinn was sexy, fun, sadistic; Deadshot was a deadly assassin with something to lose (you usually do not ever see that combo and it was flawlessly executed.

) I appreciate that the film was made for fans not theatrical professors. I am intrigued to see how all the characters develop in upcoming sequels and thought the cast was perfect. Will go see this movie again and purchase Blu-Ray upon release.
