So. Suicide Squad.
As you may have noticed by my posts and favorites, I'm a pretty big Squad fan. More so of the 80's version but most will do.
Anyways, I saw the movie today, and yeah, the critics are mostly just full of BS. It was actually really entertaining, and aside from a few issues (Which I'll list below) really really solid. I'll list some major pros and cons, and try to keep my mouth spoiler-free.
Pros: -Will Smith. Just. Will Smith. I'm not much of a Smith fan, and I'm a huge Deadshot fan, so he had a lot to live up to in my mind, and he delivered.
-The Squads' interactions and banter with each other
-El Diablo is a surprisingly great character. Especially cause I feel like they've barely done anything with him in the comics.
-Boomerang and Croc don't do much but they're really fun to watch.
-Margot Robbie in the second half, but not the first.
-Viola Davis. Period.
-Lots of great action pieces, and a few mild twists that they left out of the trailers that were pretty great.
-Cameos!
-Slipknot does exactly what you think he's going to, and it's all he needs to do.
Cons: Some the editing is a little whack, but it's a little easier to get past
- I kinda thought Katana's soul sword would come more into play, but it doesn't
-June Moon (Enchantress's human host) gets no characterization.
-Pretty standard plot, but that's fine.
-Margot Robbie in the first half, but not the second
-Who is Enchantress's brother supposed to be? Was that Incubus? cause he has little to do with Enchantress originally.
Overall though It was awesome. I plan on seeing it a few more times.
Last thoughts: Leto's only in it for eight. . . *very* weird minutes, they totally waste Common, some of the trailer lines didn't make it in but such is editing, and the minifigures you see before you are nothing new, I just haven't been able to cobble together any new movie-accurate ones. :
