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.

That sounds like a heck of a lot of flaws for a seven out of ten movie.
