PLOT
Figuring they're all expendable, a U.S. intelligence officer decides to assemble a team of dangerous, incarcerated supervillains for a top-secret mission. Now armed with government weapons, Deadshot (Will Smith), Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Captain Boomerang, Killer Croc and other despicable inmates must learn to work together. Dubbed Task Force X, the criminals unite to battle a mysterious and powerful entity, while the diabolical Joker (Jared Leto) launches an evil agenda of his own.



CRITICS

Suicide Squad is a lively comic book movie - albeit one that is undermined by plot holes and uneven execution of action, character, and comedy. Full review
Ben Kendrick
Screen Rant
It’s the latest comic book wheeze: an all-villain fighting team. But too many crooks spoil the plot. Full review

Wendy Ide
The Guardian
As I hope I have made apparent, the storytelling that brings all these characters together so quickly is lazy to the point of professional negligence. Full review

Christopher Orr
The Atlantic
The result would love to be badass, but it winds up feeling sour, dark, and thin, like a cup of cold coffee. Full review

OVERVIEW

From now on, I care less about the ratings or whatever the critics say about a movie because they were dead wrong for suicide squad (Lol…I just realized this is also a review site, you can go ahead and neglect other ones, not mine please 😁😁) well this is a review site. I actually watched this movie a bit late because, you know school and stuff, but when I did, it was worth it. Suicide squad comprises of the world’s worst criminals (according to DC) assembled by Amanda Waller intended to match the strength of other extra-terrestrial beings like Superman.





If you enjoyed Marvel’s Deadpool which was released earlier this year, then you would also appreciate Suicide squad. It’s the same character concept really, Deadpool is a super powered guy (not hero), who fights for his benefits only, he’s not one to save people he doesn’t know. The Suicide Squad also fought together as a group under the control of Amanda Waller because she had a bomb implanted in their heads which she would detonate if they didn’t cooperate. I was afraid that this movie wasn’t going to be nice because Will Smith, as much as I like him, acts shit in movies with no comedic relief *coughs* “After Earth” 😩😩. But to my surprise he had some funny lines in the movie. This is my personal best, Oh, so you deaf”, “You one of them deaf hoes

But as good as movies are, they can’t be perfect, so here are the flaws 😁😁.
-Remember when I said that the squad was assembled to fight off extra-terrestrial beings like superman, I would really love to see how they would do that. The team is 80% made up of normal human beings meanwhile superman is a god. Is he going to be defeated from a whack on the head by Harley quinn’s bat or by Captain Boomerang’s boomerang (freaking stupid and useless ability by the way) or Deadshot’s bullets (except maybe they are kryptonite ones)? Even if they are, a Kryptonian is still faster than a speeding bullet.

-When Enchantress was destroying the earth where was the dark knight of Gotham city, was he afraid because he wasn’t going to fighting his normal non super-powered Joker or Bane. Forget about batman, where was the rest of the Justice league; Wonder woman, The Flash, Cyborg, Aquaman.
-Joker was just a complete psychopath in the movie, that isn’t the joker we all know and love. I know Joker is normally insane but it like his mental illness was on cocaine in this movie (it was actually kind of scary)😕😕😕
Can you honestly tell me these are not scary?

TobyTale rating: 7/10
