A Kind Review On Suicide Squad

This movie got way more hate than it deserved

A Kind Review On Suicide Squad
MTV

With the release of the movie Suicide Squad this month there have been many negative reviews with some positive ones added to the mix. And while it is easy to understand the negative reviews and where those writers come from I believe that there are a lot of points where these reviews are being far too unkind towards the movie.

So here it goes on a more positive review of the movie Suicide Squad, now as with any good critic one has to admit that every movie has it's faults. And this movie is no different, although I do not believe it deserves the amount of hateful comments it is getting.

The first issue with this movie, was they didn't give it enough time to be created. They rushed it and it deserved more time both in the movie and in the creation of it. Too many scenes were cut and a lot of the scenes from within the original trailer was removed and so it gave fans a different idea of what was go to take place in the movie.

The next issue with the movie was the fact that it was less of a Suicide Squad movie and more like a Will Smith is here being Will Smith and less on the whole squad. And well his character was interesting and the motivation for him working in the squad gave a different view and side to the whole bad guy idea, he was a bit unneeded in certain parts.

So what was good about this movie?
Honestly almost all of it.

I mean first off this movie has so many amazing actors and actresses in it that I died reading the lineup when I first heard about the movie. I mean Jared Leto and Cara Delevingne in one movie not to mention Will Smith (even if he was focused on more than he should have been).

So what's not to love!? I mean all these incredibly talented actors are in one movie.

Second this is the first time we have ever seen a live action Harley Quinn, who is a fairly new character in the DC history, but she is very popular and so it was great to get to see her in a live action movie rather than a cartoon or video game.


We also had an amazing score in this movie, I mean almost every song was well used for the idea of the scene it was in. Gangsta by Kehlani was very fitting for the backstory of Joker and Harley. Plus not to mention the cover of Bohemian Rhapsody done by Panic! At the Disco which had never really been recorded until this movie and had always just been a treat for fans at live concerts.

And because I can't forget this, Jared Leto made one hell of a Joker, and he doesn't deserve the hate he has been getting for the character. Especially because I would personally enjoy to see him come back as the Joker in future movies. Please note part of the idea of this is it is supposed to be more modern and so in all reality modern day Joker would be very gangster-ish and less like the older Jokers we have seen on the big screen. No one can replace Heath Ledger but that wasn't what Jared Leto was doing, he was trying to portray another side to the Joker and I think he did a good job given a lot of the scenes he was in got cut from the final product.


So there you have it, here is a positive review on Suicide Squad, it was honestly a very good movie. And while everyone is entitled to their opinions here is mine.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
