Movie Review - Suicide Squad
I have to admit it, I was hoping Suicide Squad would be the Guardians of the Galaxy of the DC universe. It didn't come close. My wife and I talked about it, and if I had to compare it to another comic movie, I'd say it was about as good as the Thor movies.
Margot Robbie was awesome as Harley Quinn, but you knew that already from the previews. Will Smith was enjoyable as Deadshot. I think they have something good to work with as they grow from here.
My biggest disappointment was the villain. There was no character development of the villain at all.
The best part of the movie is the character development of the suicide squad. The main members had enough screen time, including back story, to flesh them out pretty well. There were a few members of the team that were completely forgettable.
I'm going to be nit-picky for a second, but there was some clunky story telling. Little things like, where did those soldiers get the scuba gear? Were they just carrying it around with them the whole time? I don't think so. It's one of those things that happen in movies like this, where the writer needs some characters to have some equipment, or something, so they just make it handy. There were a few other things like that that aren't worth getting into. There were some other issues with the plot, but I don't want to bring them up because it might spoil some of it.
Suffice to say, enjoy the movie for what it is. Just try not to analyze it too much, or the plot will crumble.
