*look at the critics review* Hmm... They seem to hated it... But some people said that its good. This is gonna be hard though if its good or bad. Only way to find out...
*several hours later*
... Wow... This is... Actually good? But how...?
Hey everyone, my name is Anthony and welcome back to my movie review.
Last time, i reviewed Batman V Superman and it was a biggest disappointment film i've ever watch in my life, with no story, unlikable characters and it feels like it was done by Michael Bay... Which i was prayed to hope that Suicide Squad is gonna be better.
And so, since it came out, the critics in websites seem to hate this movie that they felt that it was badder than Batman V Superman. But the people in social media defended that this movie was surprisingly good. Which it made me feel confused that i don't know how did the critics hated it. But sometimes, the fans is taking too seriously that, like i said before, they made a petition to remove some sites like RottenTomatoes.com. I mean come on, im sick and tired of B****ery, we criticized whatever we want to tell either in internet or not.
Anyway, if you anyone never know if you are, Suicide Squad is a second DC universe film that it came out this year with Batman V Superman. But it was not made by "Zack Shnyder", instead, it was directed by David Ayer, but he also wrote this movie. and it was based on a comic as well.
So, with all that said, is this really gonna be a good DC film, or is gonna be the same as Batman V Superman?
Lets find out.
The story
After Superman died (Spoiler!!!), an official government name Amanda Waller was on plan about the prisoners for their mission to be good, despite they're bad guys, along with Colonel Rick Flag. What it happened is that one girl name June Moone was possessed to transforming into an evil witch named Enchantress who capture a victim to turning into her brother, Incubus. As it was reported that Enchantress grows her dark power to taking over the world, Amanda sends out prisoners, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc, El Diablo, Slipknot and Rick's bodyguard named Katana has to stop Enchantress's threat, but the catch is they the military put a small bomb inside the prisoners's body that if they escape or losing their mission, they'll die.
Well, i gotta say, it was actually a pretty good story. Its like "Yes! Finally DC listened our words to have a better story than before.". Even though some people felt the writing isn't that good, but for me, it was rather good. There's even a subplot where The Joker wanted to bring back Harley from Suicide Squad. I know that Harley had a crush on him, but im not sure why it was on the main plot. I guess its because they want to see more of The Joker. Not to mention, the movie has a sense of humor, i did chuckle from the dialogue for these characters. I mean, i know that some bad guys has a sense of humor.
Despite the lackluster of subplot, but the story was very good is if that it followed the comic, even though i never read the comic of Suicide Squad...
The production
I gotta that the production work was pretty good, not only its dark, but its also colorful. The action sequence was pretty cool and yet intense. But some say that the editing isn't as perfect, but it may not matter when i watched. I also like that the movie shows our characters in the movie, its as if that they finally make a characters development. But i have two problems of this film. First, the music is just mixed. Despite the composure was good, but its the additional music that its just too obvious that you probably recognized from the radio like Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, Paranoid by Ozzy Osbourne, Without me by Eminem, Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by ACDC. I mean its just too much that it needs to put less than 2 or 3. I know you guys may like it, but thats just my opinion. And second, this is another film that its been two hours. I mean i was constipated painfully that i need to go to the bathroom for a piss! Seriously, does this 2 hours films keep going? Its gonna hurt my D*** while watching it. Finally, i read the internet that the film was supposed to have more scenes with The Jokers, but most of them was cut, which i think they'll be in deleted scenes and finallym the film was originally to have King Shark, but the character was replaced by Killer Croc, which i think its because they have no enough budget for a CGI model of a humanoid shark. Aw well, at least King Shark was already shown in live-action in the episode of The Flash of Arrowverse.
Although the work was great, but the musical numbers is way to obvious and its hurting me for two hours film...
The characters
Unlike Batman V Superman, the characters actually likable in this film.
First is Deadshot (played by Will Smith), this guy is pretty cool, but he's not as dangerous than Deathstroke. Despite he's an elite hit-man. He has a cool gadgets like he has like two wrist guns which it pretty damn cool idea. Plus, the movie is try to give a tiny drama where he has a daughter he loves her, since he's a hit-man criminal. He's a cool bad guy of the group and Smith is impressive.
Next is Harley Quinn (played by Margot Robbie), she's probably a fan favorite in the movie, because not only she's pretty sexy, but she's such a crazy girl with a sense of humor (ever since she had a crush with The Joker), but sometimes she can be a bit creepy for her look (despite that she was splashed to the pool of acid like The Joker did in New 52 world). And if you're wondering about her classic jester outfit, well she did wears it for some part in the first act for her character development. She's beautiful, fun and Margot is also did a great job of her role.
Third member, but the leader of the group is Rick Flag (played by Joel Kinnaman), at first i though he was played by Chris Pratt, but that was a different person for my silly thought. Anyway, he's almost like a boss of the group, since he's a colonel. But he's pretty cool guy, despite that i though he's a neutral, but he did changed up to be friend with the group.
Fourth member is Captain Boomerang (played by Jai Courtney), i find him pretty cool, even though he's a bit crazy. Like Deadshot, he has a cool gadgets, like a bomb of boomerang. Also, he likes his pink unicorn. Yeah, i kinda don't like his development, sorry. But he's still looks cool and yet a bit insane.
Fifth member is Killer Croc (played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje What...?), he's rather average, which i know its because Killer Croc is supposed to be a big humanoid reptile, but i guess its because they have no enough budget for him, so they decide to give the actor a makeup. He's like a small humanoid reptile of The Incredible Hulk, in average. But he did has a sense of humor.
Sixth member is El Diablo (played by Jay Hernandez), this guy looks a bit badass since he has a fire power. But i said "A bit badass", because like Deadshot, he has a sympathy for his past, due to the fact that he had a bad family since he's a crime that he killed his own family. What a bummer for him, i kinda feel bad for him. But he did tries to get a comeback from Deadshot for his ultimate flamethrower of his hands.
Seventh member is Katana (played by Karen Fukuhara for her film role debut), although she's a body guard of Rick Flag, i find her pretty badass that she doesn't give a S***. Even though she may only speaks Japanese, which im very surprised for Karen's speaking performance. But like two others, she has a drama that she lost her husband. I don't know why it has that, but its just nothing. Though she's still a badass member, since she's not a prisoner.
Finally there's the big boss for Suicide Squad is Amanda Waller (played by Viola Davis), this girl is pretty ruthless for a deadly rule for the prisoners. She ambitious and devious woman in the film. Plus, Viola said that she's fascinated for her role as a "powerful black woman of the order". If i was in Suicide Squad, il be a bit nervous from Amanda's order for the group, since she's pretty damn ruthless.
There's also Slipknot for the group but lets be honest, he's not really interesting, because he's the only one was short-lived. Bummer...
So we get the group out of the way, lets talk about the villains.
First up is The Joker (played by Jared Leto). I know that lotta people are debating who's the better role of The Joker like Jack Nicholsen in Tim Burton's Batman, Mark Hamill in voice action cartoons or video games and even the late Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. Anyway, Leto's Joker that i can easily like to say... He looks pretty creepy as hell! With his white skin, tattoos and his silver teeth. I guess the makeup artist did a horrific work for Leto's look of his role. Despite that he's a psychopathic villain, but he also has a small Shakespearean which im not sure if it works or not. Even though he's kinda wasted for his role for a subplot that he wants Harley Quinn back. Despite his flaws, but he's one creepy son of a B****.
Finally there's Enchantress (played by Cara Delevingne), when i first saw her, i was like "What..? Another creepy looking character? Well, i guess DC loves to the scare the S*** at the fans like me... ^^;". Anyway, despite creepy, but she's also looks beautiful. Plus, she's powerful with her dark power to taking over the world, she has mist teleport, transforming forms and pretty fast. Plus she also has her assistant brother Incubus and man he's huge like twices taller than humans. If only that there's a way to defeat her with Voodoo spell, just saying.
And finally, some heroes has a small appearance like Ben Affleck's Batman and The Flash (played by Erza Miller). But i like to say is "Wow spoiler alert! You just reveal The Flash's costume!". But i guess its because we're waiting for them for Justice League movie in 2017.
And now for my final thoughts of this film.
Overall, this movie much better that was expecting. The story is good, the characters are likable and production looks amazing. Even though it has a flaws like the musical numbers, the subplot, a very long films of 2 hours with my painful constipation and i understand why many people was clearly upset over the critics. I mean this is probably a big fat guilty pleasure films for the fans like me. Its much better than Batman V Superman and i might say that i recommend to watch this movie. Its probably a better DC universe films.
So, i rate this movie a 8/10.
