POSITIVES…
Do you want more chaos, comedy, and corpses, with your Suicide Squad? Then this is absolutely the movie for you.
Scenes and sequences are visually kinetic, dynamic, colorful, and just beautiful. James Gunn is indeed a visionary. Shout out to cinematographer Henry Braham as well.
Those sweet chapter break title cards. Another nice touch done by this movie.
Narrative definitely has a randomness to it, and the plot progression can get ridiculous.
From the dialogue, banter, and the sight gags, this movie is pretty funny.
Briefly touches on some social political commentaries, but the final message of this story in particular... Bravo James Gunn! Bravo!
Just about all the action sequences and set pieces are bloody violent. Good times!
That big solo Harley Quinn action sequence. Just amazing. Flowers.
Speaking of characters, this does indeed have a fantastic huge ensemble cast, that includes Idris Elba, Daniela Melchior, John Cena, Margot Robbie, David Dastmalchian, Viola Davis, plus so many more!
That rivalry between Bloodsport and Peacemaker. Fun stuff.
Nanaue. AKA King Shark. Easily one of the stand-out characters in this movie.
Sebastian! I loved Sebastian!
Weird special super powers. This movie showcases a lot of that, and they are awesome!
Drinking game idea. Take a shot whenever somebody dies in this movie. Take a double shot when it’s a member of the Suicide Squad. So much death.
Needless to say, this is the best Suicide Squad movie out of all of them. Just might even be in the running as the best DC Comics movie since the Dark Knight trilogy.
NEGATIVES…
While there’s a general freshness to the direction, the actual plot itself isn’t exactly unfamiliar.
Some questionable plot points.
That subplot with Harley during the second act. Felt like it grinded the movie to a full stop.
For a James Gunn movie, the soundtrack isn’t all that this time.
There’s animal cruelty here. CG kind of course. But still…
A warning on those who have musophobia.
People with trypophobia might have to worry too.
