It was way too violent and gory to make any sense, but that gave it a unique charm.

It’s definitely one of, if not the, best DCEU film. The Suicide Squad is a ridiculous ensemble, a bit like Guardians of the Galaxy (although this is far more bloody!) so James Gunn is the natural choice for writer/director. I can see why some people wouldn’t enjoy this - it doesn’t shy away from absurdity, in fact in parts it relishes it. If you don’t like that, you won’t like the film. I would say that thematically and emotionally it is the most consistent DCEU film (most previous DCEU films throw their themes away in act 3). I hope this film is a sign of the DC universe finally starting to find its feet.

I think the public are just done with Suicide Squad now. Come back in 10-15 years and try again, not every 9 months.

It was obvious after a few minutes that the movie wasn't going to take itself seriously (which was good) but it also abandoned dramatic tension, so the jokes and gags became predictable. Every orchestral swell, every tense scene, took me out of the moment because I would go looking for the thing that was going to "subvert my expectation".

If the sequel was Harley, Deadshot and Ratcatcher 2 Vs Superbat...Whose side would you be on.? ;)

I have to be honest, as a Latin American, this permanent depiction of Latin countries as banana republics is starting to wear thin. I thought this movie had a few good moments (most of them related to Nanaue), but overall it was pretty generic. I was definitely expecting more from Gunn.

Weirdly I watched the new magnificent 7 the day before and enjoyed that nore... I think this was good fun but is prbably the end stage of the super hero movie genre. I feel that for me the rest are realy going to be derivitive story telling after this. But DC always does this to me.

Trim a fee minutes, focus more on the anarchic madness and humour and it might have been a better film. That being said I think Thor Ragnarok managed to be over the top silly and keep a heart and soul at the centre and for my money hit more high notes.
