the tale of the "suicide squad"

in suicidesquad •  8 years ago 

i don't wanna say that "SUICIDE SQUAD" was a TOTAL let down...but it was a let down.
there were some good parts and i'll list them here:

  1. there were some cool cameos that i did and did not expect.
  2. i liked the KATANA character.
  3. will smith's turn as DEADSHOT was enjoyable.
  4. there were some visuals here that were truly inspired.
  5. it connected to the rest of the DC movie universe pretty smoothly.

and then there were some things i did not like, i will list those here:

  1. i HATED jared leto's JOKER. did not like this joker at all.
  2. there was a rock soundtrack that seemed pretty forced. like, someone said "hey, 'GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY' had an awesome soundtrack, let's do one of those!!". they even used a song that was used in "GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY"!
  3. every character besides DEADSHOT, HARLEY QUINN, EL DIABLO, RICK FLAGG and AMANDA WALLER just seemed like wasted filler characters. now, i understand that in an ensemble some members of said ensemble will shine a little brighter...but the other members were barely fleshed out at all.
  4. the plot just seemed like it was stolen from a video game. stage one, go here. stage two, fight these guys, stage three, fight among themselves or rebel against authority. stage four, reassemble, fight big bad.
  5. as pretty and hot as she was, HARLEY QUINN was annoying and i could not clearly see no motivation for ANY of her actions. nothing she did made any sense at all to me. also, we knew going in that she was hot and crazy...we didn't really need every character in the movie to point this out over and over again.

so...overall, i was let down by the film. i had lower expectations going in than i had before because of some of the reviews i had read and was hoping to be delighted...but, i wasn't.

1.5 outta 5.

That's too bad. I guess Will Smith shoulda done Indipendence Day 2 instead.

mayhaps.

I ofcourse disagree entirely. but You know this since we saw the movie together. :P

yep. i was the odd-man-out this time. summer liked it too.
