Review of Suicide Squad (2016) by Viet Phuong N — 28 May 2017
Not as bad as I thought it was, especially the second half. Of course the first half is pure rubbish with lower quality than even a direct-to-video B-movie in term of script, character presentation, and especially editing.
The shockingly poor editing was not improved in the second half with unnecessary jump cuts all over the place, the plot stayed as convoluted as ever, but at least the "flow" of the film became more coherent and "made sense" with an ending that is naturally disappointing but at least on par with the mediocre ones produced en masse by Disney/Marvel every year.
Surprisingly though, to me this cast has been put on enough "meat" for an inevitable sequel, let us hope that WB/DC has come to realise that exotic characters with exotic setting, but without an incomprehensible plot, will never add up to anything remotely good.
