Suicide Squad (2016)
Pro's and Con's of Suicide Squad
4 August 2016
Warning: Spoilers
I have been waiting for this movie since last summer. Part of me enjoyed the film while the other part is so disappointed. (If that makes sense)

Lets start off with the pro's. Margot Robbie, Jared Leto, Viola Davis, and Will Smith were all great for their roles, most of the humor worked, Harley Quinn was exactly what I had expected her to be and she was the best thing in the movie (just my opinion), Diablo's full powers were very unexpected and awesome at the end, the soundtrack is perfect, the practical effects were used very well - Killer Crocs makeup looked so realistic.

Now the cons -The CGI was a bit iffy at times, Katana, Killer Croc, and Slipknot were literally there for no reason. I get that they used Slipknot to prove a point (don't mess with The Wall or you'll get your head blown off) but I feel like we needed to know the character a bit more. Scott Eastwood is just a soldier. That's it. The villain's motive weren't very clear.The Enchantress and her brother wanting to destroy was so out of nowhere. Just like Xmen Apocalypse. Literally so much of the footage from the trailers and the behind the scenes footage/pictures were cut from the final product which was a huge disappointment for me. I also feel like we didn't really get to know the character June Moone in order for it to be emotional at the end before she wakes back up. The monsters that were apart of Enchantress's army were basically harmless. I mean they could fight but they were such an easy target. I also felt like the bond between the squad was so forced and way too rushed. The action sequences could have been way better instead they were so messy. The marketing made it seem like the Joker was going to be one main stars but he ended up being in a small portion of the film. The editing is so bad. Soo bad.

At the end, although the editing, screenplay, and CGI weren't great at times, underused characters were added for no reason, and so much was cut from the film - most of the acting worked, practical effects were appreciated, and the light tone was a big step up for DC. Suicide Squad is nothing more then a fun flick to watch when you're bored.
