Suicide
Squad is a movie that could never be described as tedious, and it perhaps the
cast’s fault. The plot is typical for a movie of it’s genre, a group saves the
world. But what was disappointing is that the most fun the Suicide Squad have
is in the smaller missions, we already had a lot of superhero movies about saving
the world, and when it comes to a group of villains I expected less, and
sometimes less is more. The roles were cast perfectly, a fact the even the movie’s
die-hard haters can’t deny. It offers small hints towards the relationship
between the squad and Batman, and ends with a confirmation in the post credit
scene, which ironically ends up being the best. It’s unique in being not as
straightforward as the previous DCEU movies, and when it loses its plot the lovable
characters pull you back in. The squad coming together wasn’t as great as
Superman , Wonder Woman and Batman teaming up, or as satisfying as the Avengers
assemble or even as hilarious as Guardians of the galaxy team up. It had the
best elements to be a great supervillain movie but it just fell short. The
additional backstories on each character was a pleasant surprise, even if we
didn’t get any for Amanda Waller. It’s doesn’t have the great visuals that we’re
used to in DCEU movies, but it does have the “in your face” humor Marvel is so
great at. Perhaps the best things about this film is the endless possibilities of
other solo films for each character. 2/5 stars.
