Review of The Suicide Squad (2021) by Coxy4454 — 06 Aug 2021

Absolute trash. I watched this on HBO Max and I'm so glad I didn't spend money to see this in theaters. I have a strong suspicion James Gunn had nothing to do with the movie, he gave a college intern $20 and his face mask to pretend to be him.

I cannot describe how terrible this movie is - not the actors fault, they were given a garbage plot with garbage dialogue. I was prepared to turn off my mind for senseless violence and crude humor and they even messed that up: with bad guys not even fighting back as they're mowed down or shooting with a precision that makes stormtroopers look like snipers, not to mention 90% of the one liners falling flat.

The pacing is the worst in recent memory with flashbacks to character building backstory mid fight and multiple back and forth time skips.... unfortunately it's not original enough to be so bad it's good - no trash cult classic here just a waste of money that apart from a good special effects department and actors who are too good for this movie.
