Suicide Squad
Directed By: David Ayer
The Story
I loved the whole idea and story of the Suicide Squad. It really felt like a comic book brought to life. I loved the cast and the characters, and i loved the soundtracks that played throughout the movie. My main problem i had about the movie was the villain. I thought the whole supernatural aspect felt really out of place. I really can't understand why they didn't try and keep this movie more grounded. They could of just went with the Joker as the main villain, or even just kept Enchantress more grounded. They went full blown stupid with her and it sort of ruined the movie, but only a little
.
The helicopter crash scene was the last to be shot just in case any of the actors got injured and filming was delayed.
To prepare for his role as Deadshot, Will Smith shaved his head and spent time training with Navy SEALS and Army Rangers, practicing firing a Glock 9mm handgun and an AR-15 rifle. The actor turned out to be a quick learner, particularly with long distance shots using the AR-15.
Several scenes of Killer Croc's backstory were removed from the final cut, including scenes depicting his entire life as a social outcast due to his physical appearance and convincing himself that he is beautiful in his own way. Croc crossed paths with Batman while working as muscle-for-hire for numerous Gotham crime bosses, while secretly planning to take over one day. There were also scenes displaying his affinity for making sculptures out of discarded materials. Aside from jokes about Croc viewing himself as 'beautiful,' one of these were retained in the final cut. Also deleted was a scene where he becomes sick at the helicopter escort to Midway City, throws up half-digested pieces of goat, and then eats them again, disgusting the nearby Navy Seals.
The Cast
The cast were absolutley awesome. Will Smith as Deadshot was very cool. Joel Kinnaman as Rick Story was great, and who ever played Killer Croc was awesome, he was one of my favourite characters. The stars of the movie tho have to be Margot Robbie and Jared Leto as Harley Quinn and The Joker. The pair of them steal the show everytime they appear on the screen, especially Margot Robbie she absolutley nailed Harley Quinn. Damnnn, she's so sexy too.
Movie Highlight
My movie highlight has to be the opening 20 minutes of the film where we meet the Suicide Squad. I really enjoyed the flashbacks into there lives before all the craziness kicks off. And It was also a nice touch throwing Batman and Gotham City into the mix. If i'm totally honest, i love the whole movie. Okay the villain sort of messes things up, but i still think its a very solid movie. Its the best DC movie to date leading up to the Justice League, and i also thought it was better than alot of the Marvel movies. I really don't get the hate for this movie at all.
My Verdict
My verdict is The Suicide Squad is a very entertaining movie, with awesome action and a very solid cast. 26% on RT is laughable, its miles better than Man Of Steel which holds 56% or something, so i'm left scratching my head at who the hell scores these movies. I recommend this movie to those of you who have been put off.
