The forums is in jeopardy, and it needs a hero so I feel I have a moral obligation to do so, so let me illuminate you and immerse yourself into my slightly mediocre reviews. Grab your tissues because it’s about to get greasy.
DCs track record on films is like watching a twitter argument, it can sometimes be entertaining and mildly charming but overall it’s messy and full of holes left to be desired. Take 2016s suicide squad for example a convulted mess that got torn adpart by clueless studio executives and with a potient combination of botched edits. A sequel to this movie was as inevitable as the next person claiming they are mojang enthusiasts ready to lecture us on why invadedlands is not EULA compliant.
The trailer left a lot to be desired, it stuck me by how little impression the suicide squad made on me, so I was pretty skeptical going into the movie, and after watching it today for the most part I had a good time with it, for the most part.
The suicide squad is a vast improvement over it’s predecessor although that isn’t that much of a high bench mark. It gives it’s characters much needed levity this time around and allows them to kickass again. The suicide squad isn’t without it’s problems and I can tell you there’s a lot of problems with this movie. First off the majority of the jokes bombed harder than the US airforce, and that’s a problem because it makes up most of the movie. The gags are cheap and obvious that drag on way too long, and it’s quite excruciating to watch.
You are bombarded by so much ridiculous nonsense it’s hard to follow, and that is the same for the pacing of the suicide squad, it juggles a lot of ideas and it definitely drops the ball at times. Like for example there’s a non exact plot about Leo capaldi character that was the key to pretty much everything and suddenly he’s there with the squad with a very bleak reason to the convenience of the plot, it just felt cheap.
The best thing about this movie was the characters and the twist in the final act, to a final act that is far from perfect. It really caught me off guard and it’s the single reason why I rank this movie so high. It's ballsy and this is risks marvel doesn’t take and it’s the single reason why I think DC has immense potential. The characters are well constructed and James Gunn is a seasoned professional at this and can take any character and make them likeable, it’s what he did with guardians of the galaxy and it’s no exception here.
If I was to describe this movie is that it’s potential, potential DC can finally get their shit together and finally get back on its feet, because this movie is a great leap forward for the DCEU as a whole and I am excited to see what the future holds for film in dc.
I was told to rate my reviews so I’ll give it a 7.1/10
Edited score, thought it was too generous.
