Story: It feels good to be bad...Assemble a team of the world's most dangerous, incarcerated Super Villains, provide them with the most powerful arsenal at the government's disposal, and send them off on a mission to defeat an enigmatic, insuperable entity. U.S. intelligence officer Amanda Waller has determined only a secretly convened group of disparate, despicable individuals with next to nothing to lose will do. However, once they realize they weren't picked to succeed but chosen for their patent culpability when they inevitably fail, will the Suicide Squad resolve to die trying, or decide it's every man for himself?
Likes : I went in this film with low expectation because i didn't know what to expect, yes certain areas of the film could of been better but the bad reviews it getting sorry unwarranted as this is not as bad as people are making out to be.
The Film has a great story-line & the villain of the film well there was no chance superman would of been able to beat because of magic anyone that knows the lure of superman knows that one of many weakness superman has is magic , so having the squad of villains some with powers was the next best thing to do which is good.
The time line of the film is actually set after Batman v superman so the world has kind of been thrown in to chaos with a new power villain hell bent on covering the world in darkness , whether this is connected to darksied that is unclear at present time, but this film is far from being a bad film.
The visual effect are amazingly done special with the Enchantress played by Cara Delevingne , really showing the massive power of her magic which made her character awesome. One thing i wasn't to sure about because of his size was killer croc played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje who after watching this film actually look pretty good on screen i can see they went with the original version of killer croc where he was smaller in size which actually look good on screen.
Will Smith as dead shot was just class , you can not faultier this man playing this role , the just spot on with the diology given with every word you just know he means its it come off brilliant on screen. They did give him a more human side as a loving father which gave some part of the film a touch moment with father & daughter, you could understand his character.
The action scene with him are awesome he like a one man army with every shot being on target just like the character should be , Jai Courtney as boomerang wow i know alot of people dont really like him that much in film's but he was actually good in this film.
The scene with the flash even tho its a cameo play by Ezra Miller was just phenomenal , special with the cameos from batman (Ben Afleck) looked awesome as well , but Jai Country was actually pretty funny in this film just the way his attitude & manor is was just a perfect character for boomerang.
Margot Robbie stunning & brilliant actress play a iconic character was another role i was on the fence with but i will say after watching this she was a perfect choice for the role , not so much in the voice although she done what she could with that but in the way she was acting with her manor & attitude was Harley Quin down to the tee. She stole most of the scenes with her awesome acting playing this role had a few funny moments special the lift scene i did laugh at that because it was just one of those moments.
Joel Kinnaman as rick flag was actually a good role for him to play , he come off on screen as a bad ass soldier who pissed off would put a bullet in you with out question i like the way they've written his character i think it works for the role , Viola Davis playing Amanda Waller , who i will say iss ruthless & cold government operative, i mean she has brass b**s in this film with the way her character come off in this film , Viola plays this absolutely brilliant with a powerful performance.Dr. Amanda Blake Waller is a character published by DC Comics. She first appeared in Legends #1 in 1986, and was created by John Ostrander, Len Wein and John Byrne. Despite not possessing any superpowers, she has persistently proven herself a powerful foe of the superheroes of the DC universe, as well as an antihero.
In the DC Animated Universe, she was appointed head of the top secret Project Cadmus, a group that was formed at the behest of the United States government to create a counterforce to the Justice League should they go rogue.
Here kind of where i do see why people have a problem with this film that with the joker played by Jared Leto , to say he didn't get much screen yes in a way but people need to understand this film isn't about the joker being the main villain.
That said with Jared Leto playing this role he done a good job but sadly & personally for me i just wasn't feeling him as the joker , maybe if i watched the film a few time more i'l get a better feel for him playing the character.
I think DC need to make a batman solo film with the joker as the villain give him more screen time, because it just felt like they throw a new joker in to the universe so they have one if they need him for anything that kind of the way it came off not that it wasn't a good thing because it show origin of Harley quin.
Jay Hernandez playing Diablo i felt more of emotional concept with even being a villain he had a human side because he saw the power in himself wasn't given to him by god, seeing the true form of Diable on screen was just awesome. You could understand his pain when he mention family that was the one scene that actually had me in tears because it was a very heat felt scene of pain.
Would i say go watch the film yes because it not as bad as people are making out to be yes there is a flaw in the film, but it far from a bad film, as it pretty entertaining & pretty funny in places the action flow smoothly, so yes dont listen to the bad reviews go watch it, you may or may not like it, but at least you cant say you gave it a fair view
Dislikes : My only complaint about the film is a weak start to this film , it was good that they explain the characters but the failed to explain all of them which was a missed opportunity to explain to the general audience that dont know anything about this characters. It doesn't really build the film up to the point of when the sh*t hit the fan in thee city i think the first half the film could of been done better.
The other thing is the joker i just wasn't feeling the jared leto as the joker, compare to Health ledges joker, jared leto is pretty weak but that could be because he just couldn't feel the character like i did with Health version,
Overall : Great villain , good casting , good balance with humor.
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8.7 out of 10 for concept.
