Spoiler Alert: "Suicide Squad" Is Not Terrible

Why I had mixed feelings

Spoiler Alert: "Suicide Squad" Is Not Terrible

Final verdict: "Suicide Squad" wasn’t that bad.

After watching the movie, I have to say I ended having mix feelings. First of all, the editing did not do the movie any favor. The film cuts felt choppy and its tempo was completely out of key. Ultimately, giving this film an un-cohesive plot that spiraled out of control. As it is seen through the heavy exposition at the intro of the film while introducing all the members of the Squad. This introduction felt detached since the audience couldn’t connect with most of the members. I truly wish we were giving the chance to the see the back story of "Suicide Squad" instead of having Amanda Waller simply tell it to us.

Moving forward, I must say that once you get past the plot, the movie was pretty great. I completely love the Will Smith take on Dead Shot and Margot Robbie portrait of Harley Quinn. The reason behind this is simply the flashbacks we receive from their previous live. When Dead Shot gets taken down by Batman, we saw a stripped down character with a very humane side. His love for his daughter really touch my heart, since he basically gave up his live as a mercenary for the plead of his daughter to give into justice. On the other hand, Harley Quinn flashbacks all involved the joker and his mental manipulation of Quinn as his psychiatrist. Her love for this sociopath went beyond the walls of reality since their crazy personas breaks all boundaries.

Furthermore, about a week ago I theories who the antagonist of this film would be.

Indeed, it was Enchantress played by the fantastic Cara Delavigne. The Enchantress was really badass; I must say, I was not expecting that all. By no means am I saying she was a greatly developed character we fall in love with. This really left me conflicted at the end of the day, because I really wanted to visualize a deeper and more meaningful relationship between Rick flag and June Moon which is the Enchantress’s host body.

One way they could have improved this film entirely is simply by exploring this relationship and fortifying their love. We don’t get to see how Rick Flag meets June Moon and how they even reach to the point of been partners. As a result, the final battle did not leave a strong impact on me as much as I would have liked. Getting to the good part, Enchantress is an Ancient which that has lived for 6313 years. Her mythical power extends beyond and above all the members of the Suicide Squad. She can take over people and enhanced their physical bodies, she is a magnificent teleport, she can with stand bullet shot, and is highly intelligent. Overall, she completely whooped the Suicide Squad ass.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
