A Short Review of Suicide Squad

Remember, we're the bad guys...

  • Suicide Squad was about a C+/B- Movie that had potential left on the cutting room floor
  • Needed more Joker, or no Joker.  You don't make the Joker a plot device that's only relevant for like 20 mintes of a 2 hour movie.  He's the most famous DC villain there is.
    • Also, jokes?  I didn't expect nor desire a Mark Hamill style performance, but he's the JOKER!  Joke is in his damn moniker.  Sarcastic isn't the same as funny...  
    • That said, I did like Jared Leto's take, but again, not enough.
  • Harley was great.  Appreciated the nods to her origins with the harlequin costume and the "Batman: Harley Quinn" cover reference.
    • Deadshot teased us with the worst decision a movie studio trying to compete with Marvel could make.  Thank God he missed.
  • Yay Set-up for Justice League!  But why?  I mean we knew it was coming...  No where near as 'cool' as it was seeing Nick Fury in Stark's house at the end of Iron Man when we didn't even know what we would get yet.
  • El Diablo is my new favorite villain, if only because of like 5 minutes of movie.
  • Will Smith as Deadshot was good.  I'd see another movie.  Kinda want a Katana movie though...
  • The woman who sets up the Team-X?  Cold....  Like, William Lord Kelvin would have found her too cold for him...  Absolute ZERO!
  • I am starting to just want a Batfleck movie.  And he better be as cool as he was in BvS...
My short review!  :)
