Suicide Squad 7/10
Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this film but it is NOT flawless. Here are my quick thoughts:
-
The first 20 minutes were edited very poorly, many scenes that should have been way longer ended up being chopped to shit while other scenes were way too long
-
The tone was all over the place
-
The reshoots were really obvious
-
There were many things cut from the movie that either felt missing or ended up in the trailer
-
The villain was really lame
-
Joker was really good but he was very underused
-
The soundtrack was really fun but more action scenes should have stuck with the random mix rather than generic action music
-
Deadshot and Harley Quinn were great and the rest of the squad was good except for generic-sword-wielding-girl who made no difference to anything
-
The flashbacks were all too choppy and short. Batman’s cameo was awkward and so was Flash’s.
Overall I enjoyed the hell out of it but it wasn’t great. The performances and dialogue in act 2 were really good but act 1 and 3 were edited poorly and had way too much cut out. Hopefully we’ll see a bunch of deleted scenes for someone to go in and fanedit in as well as some trailer footage to cram in there.
