All the talk nowadays is about the freshly released DC comic based action, adventure movie suicide squad. The movie is released today and thus so far this is one of the earliest reviews you will find on the web regarding the movie.
Plot of the movie: Suicide squad is based on super villains of DC comics who are serving their time in jail. An unknown terrorist party has attacked and an undercover operation has to take place to bring down the vigilantes. Most wanted criminals are called and a team is made to carry on the high class ops operation. To bring down the terrorists, the most dangerous criminals are put together in a team against the minimization of their sentences.
Cast: The movie features Jared Leto as The Joker, Will Smith as Dead shot, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Cara Delevingne as Enchantress, and Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang. The role of batman is played by Ben Affleck as in Batman vs Superman.
The movie does not include many scenes of The Joker and Batman, so the big expectations regarding the characters have disappointed a lot of fans. The center of the whole movie is Will Smith (Dead Shot) and Margaret Robbie (Harley Quinn). The seductive Harley Quinn has blown the minds of viewers with exceptional acting and dialogue delivery. Will smith giving his best to the character like always has raised the level of acting from his Dead Shots.
Suicide Squad was supposed to be the answer of the DC rivals’ “Guardians of the Galaxy” by Marvel.
Guardians of the Galaxy earned a reputation throughout the world for its unknown cast and simple screen play. The technical rivalry between DC and Marvels forced DC to go for suicide squad, but so far it has not fulfilled the expectations of the public regarding the Super Villains.
Other than the above mentioned Deadshot and Harley, the group’s more colorful members include the sword-wielding Katana and Killer Croc, and also a scaly-skinned meta-human. But there’s too much going on to between the characters to point out their part.
The Most applauded character of DC so far, The Joker, has not been at his best. Jared Leto has surely missed something in the character. The standard set by Heath Ledger was hard to beat and the expected mistake happened in the character.
“Suicide Squad” have some moments of greatness, though. Most have come from Harley Quinn or Dead shot.
The comparison between DC and Marvel will be unfair as both have their unique environment. Especially because the former creates its own cinematic universe of interlocking characters. But even if the comparison is done, Marvel will have the points in this one. The Guardians of Galaxy was a better attempt in all the means than suicide squad.
Being a DC fan, I couldn’t believe myself the mistakes that are made in the movie. Suicide squad feels as if it is trying to pound the viewers of the movie into submission.
Well, if you are a DC fan, I would still suggest you this movie just because of the two central characters that highlighted the story. Harley Quinn and Dead Shot. The movie has surely fumbled, but yet it can be included in “to watch” list.
